Crawford-Dulorme, Provodnikov-Matthysse on April 18


By Rick Reeno & Steve Kim

Sources with knowledge of the details have advised BoxingScene.com that a split-site HBO televised doubleheader is being planned for April 18th. The location and venue has not being finalized for either location.

In one location, former WBO lightweight champion Terence Crawford (25-0, 17KOs) will move up in weight and makes his junior welterweight debut, against Thomas Dulorme (22-1, 14KOs). Dulorme was last seen in action back in December, winning a split decision over Hank Lundy. Crawford dominated Raymundo Beltran over twelve rounds in November.

On the other end, a junior welterweight explosion between Ruslan Provodnikov (24-3, 17KOs) and Lucas Matthysse (36-3, 34KOs). The fight was initially targeted for March 28th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. But, the venue was already reserved for a Haymon Boxing event, and the influential adviser/manager, Al Haymon, had no intention of letting the date go.

Stoppage? That would be great for Crawford


Im not high on Dulorme, but if he can land clean on Crawford like Gamboa was able too....Crawford might be under some pressure. Dulorme has good power and snap on his punches. It's a good matchup and finally someone who's BIGGER than Crawford in the ring with him with some skill


Im taking Crawford by UD though

Prov beats Lucas in 7. Lucas aint look the same since he ran into that Rican KILLER :bobdead:

If Prov KOs Lucas Matthysse?

winner gets Maidana? Is that possible?

 

[King P]

winner gets Maidana? Is that possible?

Maidana is a WW, so they would have to move up to 147. Doubt they do that, plus Chino only wants big fights now. So I don't see that happening

He's been calling out Khan for a minute, but Khan don't want it right now.

Khan still chasing after Floyd or PAC

 

[King P]

Khan still chasing after Floyd or PAC

And he doesn't deserve a fight with either, nor should he get one

I wish him and Brook would just fight already, so Kell could beat his ass and end him once and for all
