This Saturday night, WBO lightweight champion Terence Crawford (23-0, 16 KO’s) will be making his first title defense against unbeaten former IBF/WBA featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (23-0, 16 KO’s) in what could prove to be the most difficult fight of the 26-year-old Crawford’s career when the two of them face each other at the CenturyLink Center, in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. The fight will be televised by HBO. For Crawford, this will be his first fight in which he faces a guy with hand speed similar to his own, and with amateur experience greater than his own. Up until this fight, Crawford has been fighting guys that didn’t have the amateur pedigree that he came from, but in facing Gamboa, Crawford will be taking on a guy with an Olympic gold medal from the 2004 Olympics, and extensive fights at the amateur level.
