Should welterweight contender Egis Kavaliauskas (19-0, 16 KO's) defeat Juan Carlos Abreu on Saturday night at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, will 'the Mean Machine' from Lithuania be in line for a title shot - namely WBO beltholder, Terence Crawford?
WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford (33-0, 24 KOs) is looking ahead to his next ring return, which is likely taking place on an ESPN televised date in October. Crawford, after capturing world titles at lightweight and junior welterweight, moved up to the welterweight division earlier this month. He stopped undefeated 2012 Australian Olympian Jeff Horn in nine rounds to capture the WBO title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Top Rank CEO Bob Arum is waiting to see what happens with the ongoing rumors that continue to circulate with respect to next month's welterweight fight between Manny Pacquiao and WBA "regular" welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse. Pacquiao vs. Matthysse is scheduled for July 14th in Malaysia - but there is continued talk of financial issues in the fight.
WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford (33-0, 24 KOs) is looking forward to a future showdown with Errol Spence (24-0, 21 KOs), who holds the IBF welterweight title.

It happened in 1981 when Ray Leonard met and defeated Thomas Hearns at Caesars Palace. It happened again in 1999 when Felix Trinidad met and...
The potential unification match-up between IBF welterweight champion, Errol Spence (24-0, 21 KOs) and WBO titlist Terence Crawford (33-0, 24 KOs) is one of the very best that can be made in the sport of boxing.

Two weeks ago, Terence Crawford (33-0, 24 KOs) made a statement in the welterweight division by dominating and stopping Jeff Horn (18-0-1, 12 KOs) to capture the WBO welterweight title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It was Crawford's first bout at 147-pounds - after capturing world titles at junior welterweight and lightweight.
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum has been around the sport for over 50 years - and he's heard countless post-fight excuses in that long stretch of time.
