A terrorist on the ring with his fists, and a charmer with his charities in the streets; Terence Crawford is a two-faced man who has it all. And he comfortably lives both lives without caring much about the spotlight. That’s probably why, though he sports an immaculate 26-0 career record in his boxing career, you’ve probably haven’t heard much about him like Floyd Mayweather or Wladimir Klitschko, unless you are an ardent boxing betting aficionado.But make no mistake confusing his big heart and charitable activities for a soft and easy opponent, the 5’8″, 140-pound boxer is a monster on the ring, something that is affirmed by his 18 KOs in the 26 wins, along with the WBO Super Lightweight belt currently on his name.

So thick and fast are the plaudits coming for Crawford, nicknamed “Bud”, that many boxing pundits believe he will be the next person to fight Manny Pacquiao, who intends to fight one more bout before running for elections in Philippines.But before the Crawford-Pacquiao fight happens, the 28-year-old fighter, who was considered as the 2014 Fighter of the Year, will be going against Dierry Jean this weekend in the bid to defend his WBO World Super Lightweight title for the first time.Venue: Century Link Center in Omaha, NebraskaDate: Saturday, October 24, 2015Time: 6:30 PM PT, 8:00 PM ETTV: HBOThe once beaten Jean (29-1) is a man who’s been on the block for quite a while and his lone loss came against Lamont Peterson in a world title bid on January 2014. Since that loss, he has bounce back in a solid way, winning his last four fights in a row, including the June 2015 victory over Jerry Belmontes.The 33-year-old Haitian fighter based in Montreal has just been as impressive in the ring, scoring 20 KOs in his 30 professional fights. And after losing to Peterson in his hometown (Washington D.C.), which saw him drop down his class to lightweight, Jean would certainly want to take advantage of his vast experience to avoid a defeat to Crawford, who will have the edge of fighting in his hometown (Omaha, Nebraska).
