Matthysse vs Provodnikov and Crawford vs Dulorme: Live streaming results and round by round coverage

It's a split site doubleheader tonight on HBO Boxing After Dark, with fights coming your way from Verona, New York, and Arlington, Texas. And it's a must-see main event for all fight fans.

Live coverage begins at 9:45 pm EST, with HBO televising the fights, of course, along with BoxNation in the UK.

In the main event from New York, junior welterweight sluggers Lucas Matthysse (36-3, 34 KO) and Ruslan Provodnikov (24-3, 17 KO) are ready for what promises to be a true all action war. Matthysse, 32, rebounded from a 2013 loss to Danny Garcia to smash John Molina and Roberto Ortiz last year. Provodnikov, 31, lost his junior welterweight title to Chris Algieri last June before a November return and win over faded Jose Luis Castillo.

Opening the broadcast from Texas, it'll be the world's best lightweight, Terence Crawford (25-0, 17 KO), moving up to 140 pounds to face Thomas Dulorme (22-1, 14 KO) for the vacant WBO title, which was stripped from Algieri late last year. Crawford, 27, was more or less universally recognized as the 2014 Fighter of the Year for wins over Ricky Burns, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Ray Beltran. Dulorme, 25, has found some success after moving down to 140 following a 2012 loss to Luis Carlos Abregu, and isn't a pushover opponent by any means.
