When Does Terence Crawford Fight Next
From Shiapedia
"I'm 'The Pitbull.' I got the name thanks to my imposing physique and aggressive, forceful fighting style," said Cruz, who improved to 12-1-1 (10 KOs). "My are Mike Tyson, Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, and I've learned to be more constant like they were in my workouts and to correct my technical errors."
"I have prepared my whole boxing career for a fight of this magnitude," said Kavaliauskas, who fights out of Oxnard, California. "Terence Crawford is an excellent fighter, but I fear no man. Nobody has seen the best of the 'Mean Machine' yet. I am going to shock a lot of people on Dec. 14, but it won't be a surprise to me. I earned this title shot. It is my time."
Moran (30-6-1, 21 KOs) has some notable names on his resume but has lost every time he stepped up. However, despite suffering multiple losses, Devin Haney is the only fighter to ever stop the Mexico City native.
Crawford became a three-weight world champion in front of 8,112 fans in attendance after he eventually stopped Horn via TKO in round nine. At the time of the stoppage, all three judges had Crawford winning all the previous rounds. Horn lacked defense but kept coming forward, trying to look for an opening. Horn made the opening two rounds the most competitive with his aggressive style but Crawford adapted and remained the busier fighter throughout, landing the most telling shots of the bout. Horn was eventually dropped for the first time in round nine with an overhand left. After he got back up, Crawford landed a series of hard shots that caused referee Robert Byrd to stop the fight. The official time of the stoppage was 2 minutes and 33 seconds. After the bout, crawford fight stream spoke about his welterweight debut, "Like I told you all before, I'm strong. I was way stronger than him. You all kept telling me how strong he was, so I had to go and show you. I just had to get in the ring and prove it. You saw what I did in there. My power carried up, my physicality. Now I want all the champions at welterweight." Promoter Bob Arum highly praised Crawford and compared him to Sugar Ray Leonard. According to CompuBox stats, Crawford landed 155 of 367 of punches thrown (42%). This included 47 power shots landed over the final two rounds. Horn, on the other hand, landed just 58 of 257 punches thrown (23%). Crawford earned a career-high $3 million purse and Horn also earned a career-high purse of $1.75 million.
Spence makes it through the first two minutes before Crawford opens up, pummeling his opponent with a barrage of uncontested shots. Spence has no legs under him. Referee Harvey Dock has seen enough and mercifully intervenes. Good stoppage. And a sensational performance by a generational talent.
Spence made the welterweight division limit of 147lbs while Crawford came in slightly under at 146.8lbs when the fighters took the scales at Friday’s official weigh-in, which happened behind closed doors at the MGM Grand. A ceremonial weigh-in open to the public took place several hours later at the T-Mobile Arena.
Madrimov is a very good fighter, with a 10-0-1 record, and is a reasonable test for Crawford, especially as he moves up in weight. Crawford will no doubt be the favorite, but this is a legitimate fight, even if Madrimov is not a household name.

Fans are eager to see the return of Terence "Bud" Crawford, who hasn’t been in the ring since destroying Errol Spence to become the undisputed welterweight champion last July in Las Vegas. Spence wanted a rematch but had to get cataract surgery early this year. Now Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) will move up in weight to face Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs), who is making the first defense of his WBA junior middleweight title. The WBO is also putting their vacant "interim" title on the line.
