WBO President Paco Valcarcel is very supportive of a possible junior welterweight fight between Terence Crawford (25-0, 17 KOs) and Chris Algieri (20-1, 8 KOs). Crawford was the WBO's champion at 135-pounds and plans to move up in weight for his next ring appearance.
Algieri previously held the belt after upsetting Ruslan Provodnikov last June. He was stripped of the title prior to moving up in weight last fall to challenge WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, dropped Algieri six times for a wide decision win. After that loss, Algieri filed a protest to regain his WBO title.
