    Is Crawford moving up 100% for sure?

    There was one thread that said he was moving up but I cannot find it. I skimmed through it so i didn't really catch what it said.

    Does anyone know he's moving up to 140 for sure or is it possible he stays at 135?

    Haven't heard anything. However, and I said this last night- He blew up nearly 20 pounds overnight which indicates he much have struggled a bit to make weight this time. It might be a good idea to at least consider moving up.

      he said it before the gamboa fight.

      According to WBO lightweight champion Terrence Crawford (23-0, 16KOs), his fight Saturday night against Yuriorkis Gamboa will likely be his last fight in the division. The 5'8" Crawford made his HBO debut last year when he moved up to 140 pounds and defeated Columbian slugger Breidis Prescott on short notice. Since that fight he has fought three times with all of those fights taking place at 135 pounds.


      but it's clear from the weigh-in photos that he really drains himself down to make 135. he is much better off moving up to 140.

      he can fight algieri (WBO) and/or jessie vargas (WBA regular).

        Most likely Algeri.Vargas is something he's trying to build into a Vegas attraction (since he's from there)... and Algeri doesn't belong to him.... that's what I think at least

          I wouldn't be surprised if Crawford-Algieri is made next, probably in Atlantic City or something.

          I mean he did just beat Provonikov, who was the "this guy will KO anyone in the history of the world" hype guy.

            Provodinov KO'd Gamboa with the aftershock from the shots he landed on Algieri two weeks ago.

              Thanks guys. He does look pretty big at 135 (Gamboa also just looks small)

                  He should fight Vazquez for the lineal lightweight championship.

                    I will love to see that fight but I think Crawford might not be interested!
