“They Knew Already” Eddie Hearn Reveals What The Corner Told Crawford Before Last Round Against Madrimov: “They Knew”
Eddie Hearn immediately made his frustrations clear after his fighter, Israil Madrimov, lost a close decision on the scorecards to Terence Crawford.
Terence Crawford made his return to the ring earlier this month after more than a year out from his career defining performance against Errol Spence Jr.
His eleven fight knockout street came to an end on his 154lb debut against Madrimov, edging a decision on points with the official scores of 116-112, 115-113, 115-113. After the fight Madrimov’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, said he was ‘frustrated’ with the judging
“Yeah I was a little bit frustrated at the end, I though it was actually two 116-112’s and I don’t understand how you can only give Madrimov four rounds in that fight. 115-133 is a close fight, after ten rounds I was convinced we were up and it’s an argument as to whether Crawford won the eleventh, he definitely won the twelfth.”
Hearn said he was sitting right by Crawford’s corner and revealed they told him how important that last round wound be.

“You saw the way he came out for the twelfth, because they told him, I was right by his corner, they knew he they had to win that last round, they knew how close that fight was and I was just a bit frustrated that it wasn’t a split or we didn’t get a little bit more respect, one of the judges has Crawford winning the last four rounds and the first four rounds and I just don’t see that, I thought Madrimov wont he fight 7-5.”
Crawford is now on the lookout for his next opponent with a fight against Vergil Ortiz wanted by Turki Alalshikh.
