Boxing News Readers’ Awards: Fight of the Year Number 4

TERENCE CRAWFORD did not pick an easy maiden voyage in his first outing as WBO lightweight boss on June 28.

Gamboa struggled early before fighting his way back in the middle rounds. Sensing a turning tide, Crawford defiantly switched stances and bullied Yuriorkis into defeat in the ninth.
