At 38, "Bud" Crawford knows he has plenty to reflect on. A potential retirement looms as a natural transition given his illustrious career. Boxing experts argue he'll remain a staple in all-time great debates regardless of what he does next.
However, Timothy Bradley, former world champion, urges caution regarding one opponent: Janibek Alimkhanuly. Alimkhanuly holds dual titles as both the WBO and IBF Middleweight Champion and carries an unblemished record of 17 wins with 10 knockouts from his last 11 bouts. Bradley delivers stern advice when speaking about Alimkhanuly's skills.
"Janibek ain't no joke. Oh, no. That is a tough fight for Terence Crawford... I'm here to tell you - speed, power, size, defence, offence, footwork, angle. Dude is cold, man. He's a damn killer," warned Bradley.
Bradley's comments come ahead of Alimkhanuly's scheduled match against Erislandy Lara on December 6. The Kazakhstani fighter continues to impress with each outing as his undefeated status suggests formidable talent bolstered by ferocity inside the ring.
