Terence Crawford and Dierry Jean both hit the 140 lb. super lightweight mark for Saturday's title fight at CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
Crawford makes the first defense of his super lightweight title; Jean chases his second attempt at a world title. Their bout airs live on HBO, as part of a televised tripleheader (Saturday, 8:30pm ET).
Preceding the live action, the American cable giant offers the exclusive broadcast of Gennady Golovkin's 8th round knockout of David Lemieux and Roman Gonzalez's 9th round stoppage of Brian Viloria, both of which aired one week ago on HBO Pay-Per-View.
Crawford (26-0, 18KOs) looks to make the most of what has been a water-treading 2015 campaign following a breakout run in 2014 that earned the unbeaten two-division champ Fighter of the Year honors. Saturday night marks his third fight at home, having twice played to a sold-out crowd at the venue.
