Crawford interested in Postol fight after Lundy

by

postol44By Jeff Aranow: WBO light welterweight champion Terence Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) will be making a simple voluntary defense of his title this Saturday night against fringe contender Hank Lundy (26-5-1, 13 KOs) at Madison Square Garden, in New York, New York. The fight will be televised by HBO Championship Boxing.

Crawford, 28, says he’d like to fight an eliminator bout against WBO light welterweight champion Viktor Postol. However, Crawford says it’s up to his own management who he fights. Postol’s manager Vadim Kornilov is interested in matching him against Crawford, and he’d like to make that fight happen in June.

Hank Lundy: I’m going to kick Terence Crawford’s backside

by

lundy566677By Jeff Aranow: #10 WBO Hank Lundy (26-5-1, 13 KOs) is ready for his title shot this Saturday night on February 27 against WBO light welterweight champion Terence Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) on HBO Championship Boxing from the Madison Square Garden, in New York, New York.

Lundy, 32, is considered to be overmatched in this fight, as he doesn’t have the same kind of skillset that Crawford possesses. However, Lundy thinks he’s got what it takes to give Crawford a beating in this fight, and he plans kicking his backside all over the ring and taking his WBO title back home with him.

“This is what I’ve been waiting for,” Lundy said. “But, like I said, the excitement hasn’t really hit me. It’s really going to hit me when they announce me, ‘the new WBO champion of the world,’” Lundy said to Fightnews.com.

Crawford-Lundy: Can Hank pull off an upset?

by

crawford6By Dan Ambrose: After toiling hard for the past 10 years, 32-year-old Henry “Hank” Lundy (26-5-1, 13 KOs) will finally be getting a shot at a world title. That’s the good news. The bad news is Lundy will be fighting WBO light welterweight champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) on February 27th on HBO Championship Boxing from Madison Square Garden in New York.

Lundy is facing what some fans feel is the best fighter in the 140lb division in the 28-year-old Crawford. I’m sure WBC and WBA champions Viktor Postol and Adrien Broner would have something to say about that, as they both believe they are the best fighters in the 140lb division.

Never the less, it’s not likely that we’re going to be seeing Postol and Broner facing Crawford in order to find out who the really is the best fighter is in the light welterweight division.

Lundy predicts KO win over Terence Crawford

by

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Jan. 11th, 2016) — When it came time for undefeated junior welterweight world champion Terence Crawford to find a suitable opponent for his first title defense of 2016, only one of the so-called top 140-pounders in the world answered the challenge.

Philadelphia’s “Hammerin'” Hank Lundy, boxing’s most feared road warrior, will get his long-overdue title shot Saturday, Feb. 27th, 2016 against the unbeaten Crawford in the 12-round main event of HBO’s World Championship Boxing doubleheader at The Theater at Madison Square Garden for Crawford’s World Boxing Organization (WBO) title.

2016 Matchup Wishlist: Jr.Welterweight

by

postol111By Ross Walker: Disclaimer: Some fighters on this list may be included in match ups in other divisions, if this is the case they will appear in the heavier division’s list.

Terence Crawford vs. Viktor Postol

Postol is coming off a 10th round KO win over Lucas Matthysse as well as being named Freddie Roach’s new “favorite fighter.” Postol was flying under the radar as an undefeated, intelligent and lanky Jr. Welterweight until knocking out Matthysse. This was largely due to his lack of big-name opponents and American exposure. Adding to Postol’s unknown to most fans was his lack of KO victories, this all changed when (surprise, surprise) Roach got his hands on him. Crawford, on the other hand, is becoming well known to casual fans and is already the favorite of most hard-core boxing fans.

Terence Crawford to face Hank Lundy on Feb. 27 at MSG

by

crawford3By Dan Ambrose: WBO 140lb champion Terence Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) will be defending his WBO title against the struggling 32-year-old Hank Lundy (26-5-1, 13 KOs) on HBO Championship Boxing on February 27 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Also on the card is Felix Verdejo (19-0, 14 KOs) fighting William Silva (23-0, 14 KOs) in the battle of unbeaten lightweights. Verdejo, 22, will have his WBO Latino title on the line for the fight. Verdejo could be challenging for a world title later in 2016 against WBO lightweight champion Terry Flanagan.

Crawford, 28, did not have many choices for this title defense. He wanted to fight Manny Pacquiao, but he chose Tim Bradley for his next opponent. Crawford’s promoters at Top Rank attempted to get Mauricio Herrera, and Ruslan Provodnikov, but those fights failed to happen. Viktor Postol is someone that Top Rank has in their stable, but it looks like the two of them are going to go in separate directions rather than face each other.

Terence Crawford vs. Hank Lundy in play for 2/27

by

crawford5222222By Allan Fox: WBO light welterweight champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) was one of the three candidates that were in the running for the April 9th fight against superstar Manny Pacquiao on HBO pay-per-view. Pacquiao for whatever reason chose not to fight Crawford and instead go with what he felt was a good choice of opponent in Tim Bradley.

This will be Pacquiao’s third fight against Bradley, and it is not a fight that fans were calling for. Crawford is now looking to make the best of things by getting back in the ring next month on February 27 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Crawford’s promoter Bob Arum does not yet have an opponent for him, but Hank Lundy (26-5-1, 13 KOs) is someone they are looking to put in with him.

Lundy reportedly is the best guy that they can get right now for Crawford. Mauricio Herrera, the fighter they wanted, chose not to take the fight. Top Rank promotes WBC light welterweight champion Victor Postol, but that is not a fight that they are going to be putting together next.

Pacquiao will have pressure on him to fight Crawford if he continues career past April

by

crawford7By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) played it safe this time by selecting an opponent he can beat in WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (33-1-1, 13 KOs) for their April 9th fight on HBO PPV.

This could be Pacquiao’s last fight. If not, then there will be a massive amount of pressure on Pacquiao to face fellow Top Rank fighter Terence Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) for the second half of 2016, perhaps in November.

Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum wants/needs him to fight Crawford in order to turn him into a future pay-per-view star for his Top Rank stable. Pacquiao had an option to fight Bradley for his April fight to bring in a decent level of PPV buys, but definitely not a lot of buys like you’d see if Pacquiao somebody outside of Arum’s Top Rank stable. But if Pacquiao beats Bradley again, then there will no one else in Arum’s stable for him to fight but Crawford.
