Unbeaten WBC super lightweight champion Viktor “The Iceman” Postol, and undefeated Terrence “Bud” Crawford offered a glimpse of their brilliance, and iron determination at a riveting public training extravaganza, prior to their clash on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The card is presented by Top Rank®, in association with Tecate. Crawford vs. Postol will be produced and distributed live through HBO Pay-Per-View starting 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT.
Crawford (28-0, 20 KOs), from Omaha, Nebraska, is a two times world champion. True to form, he’s won his last 5 bouts by KO. He’s considered one of the best pound for pound fighters of today, and he’ll be fighting for the first time at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
“I am very excited to fight at the MGM. I’ve earned it from my work in the gym and ring. These are the reasons I’ve gained so many things and it’s also the reason to get this victory.”
“The Iceman” Postol (28-0, 12 KOs), from Kiev, Ukraine, shocked the world after defeating holt favorite, Lucas Matthysse, to conquer the vacant WBC super lightweight championship. He’s prepared by the legendary trainer, Freddie Roach, and will be making the 1st defense of his WBC belt against Terence.
“I am 100% sure I will win! The reason is simple, I work harder than all my rivals. I have Freddie in by corner, who’s the very best trainer. Since I begin to work with Freddie I have KO’d two of my last three rivals.”
