Crawford vs Lundy: Live streaming results and round by round coverage

Tonight at 10:00 pm EST on HBO, Terence Crawford returns to action to defend his WBO junior welterweight title against Hank Lundy, as Crawford goes from Omaha, Nebraska, to New York City, headlining his first card at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Crawford (27-0, 19 KO) has spent the past two years rising up to become arguably Top Rank's hottest young fighter, with titles at 135 and 140 pounds. He won this belt last year against Thomas Dulorme, and defended successfully in October against Dierry Jean. He takes to the ring for the first time in 2016 this evening, taking on tough veteran Lundy (26-5-1, 13 KO), who doesn't lack for confidence or showmanship.

In the co-feature, another rising star will be in action, as Puerto Rican lightweight prospect Felix Verdejo (19-0, 14 KO) faces Brazil's William Silva (23-0, 14 KO) in a fight scheduled for 10 rounds.

BLH will have live round by round coverage of both fights tonight, with Wil Esco on the RBR call.
