Terrence Crawford vs. Henry Lundy

Madison Square Garden, New York, Feb. 27
TV: HBO
By Peter Lim

This is a convenient stay-busy fight for Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) to raise his profile and boost his bargaining power for a big payday in the talent-rich 140-pound division. Lundy (26-5-1, 13 KOs) may be a decent gatekeeper type fighter but talent wise, he falls several notches below Crawford. While Lundy has had his limitations exposed in his five losses, Crawford, at this juncture of his career, has shown limitless potential and early signs of greatness. Crawford quickly figures Lundy out and systematically picks him apart en route to a seventh round TKO in a one-sided mismatch.

Afterthoughts:
Crawford looked tentative and vulnerable in spots but showed how strong a finisher he can be.
