By Allan Fox: WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (31-0, 22 KOs) figures he should be rated as Ring Magazine’s No.1 pound-for pound fighter if he beats IBF/WBA 140 lb. champion Julius Indongo (22-0, 11 KOs) in their unification fight on August 19 at the Pinnacle Bank Arena, in Lincoln, Nebraska.
By Jeff Aranow: Dillian Whyte, Bryant Jennings, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Nicholas Walters and Shakur Stevenson will all be fighting on the undercard of the Terence Crawford vs. Julius Indongo card on ESPN on August 19 at the Pinnacle Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska. In terms of sheer names, this has got to be one of the best fight cards thus far in 2017.
By Chris Williams: WBA/WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (31-0, 22 KOs) could be making his last fight at 140 when he facing unbeaten IBF champion Julius Indongo (22-0, 11 KOs) on August 19 in a fight televised on ESPN and ESPN Deportes from the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska. This is the fight that Top Rank wants for the 29-year-old Crawford’s career. They feel it will help increase his popularity if he can unify the light welterweight division. I don’t know if it necessarily will.
