Shunned by Pacquiao, Crawford to defend title vs Lundy

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Unbeaten Terence "Bud" Crawford will defend his WBO junior welterweight title against Hank Lundy on February 27 at Madison Square Garden.

Crawford, from Omaha, Nebraska, is 27-0 with 19 knockouts. He stopped Dierry Jean in the 10th round in his last fight, in November, and had hoped to get a shot at Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao, however, chose Timothy Bradley as his final opponent before he retires.

Crawford, who also holds the WBO lightweight belt, is 5-0 in title fights. Lundy, from Philadelphia, is 26-5-1 with 13 knockouts.

Top Rank also said Wednesday that WBO Latino lightweight champ Felix Verdejo of Puerto Rico will fight William Silva of Brazil as part of the card.
