The WBO welterweight title is at stake in Las Vegas, Nevada, as Australian titleholder Jeff Horn (18-0-1, 12 KOs) defends his belt against American Terence Crawford (32-0, 23 KOs), in what is Crawford’s debut in the 147-pound division.
Horn is best known for his controversial decision win over Manny Pacquiao, which won him the WBO strap in the first place. He’s since defended it once, scoring a TKO over Gary Corcoran. Crawford is coming off unifying all four major titles in the 140-pound division, having stopped Julius Indongo with a body shot. “Bud” is an exciting talent, and is considered one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, and as you would expect he is a heavy favorite.
