DaTruthBoxing Report: Terrance Crawford Returns/ Garcia vs Lopez
@GeorgeCottonJr June 13, 2013
The summer schedule is heating up as another solid week of boxing is ahead as we have Former 2 Division Champ and Puerto Rican Star Juan Manuel Lopez (33-2 30kos) taking on the young tough newly crowned Champion Mikey Garcia (31-0 26kos) on HBO. For the last few years Juan Ma was regarded as one of the top Featherweights in boxing…well that of course is before he ran into Orlando Salido who opened up two cans on him in two grueling action packed fights. Garcia is coming off defeating Salido for the title back in January. Garcia is regarded as the top guy at the moment at Featherweight and Lopez should serve as a tough foe. I expect fireworks in this one and somebody SHOULD get KTFO for sure. Also on the card Sweet Pea Jr. Terence Crawford (20-0 15kos) returns to the ring. You might remember watching Crawford looking like a poor mans version of the legendary Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker in his coming out party against the hard punching Bredis Prescott. Crawford takes on Alejandro Sanabria in a 10 rounder.
Also the day before on NBC Sports, Heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings returns to the ring against Andrey Fedosov in a 10 rounder, and Sergey Kovalev takes on Cornelius White in a IBF light heavyweight eliminator.
