Terence Crawford vs. Andrey Klimov
Gabe Rivas, Contributing Writer
Terence Crawford has boxing skills, speed, and is undefeated. Klimov is also undefeated, but he is not as skilled as Crawford. Klimov could barely keep John Molina off of him in their fight and he doesn’t have the kind of power to threaten Crawford. Crawford will likely find his rhythm by the middle of the fight and win a unanimous decision.
Prediction: Crawford
Brendan Montenegro, Contributing Writer
Terence Crawford is a great fighter that is making a big name for himself, and that name will keep getting bigger and bigger. Both Crawford and Klimov are good boxers in the sense of skill, but it will be Crawford’s power that takes out Klimov in the later rounds.
Prediction: Crawford

Terence Crawford is looking to keep the momentum rolling that he has built thus far in 2013 when he faces fellow undefeated contender, Andrey Klimov. The records suggest that each will be each others toughest opponent to date. Saturday night provides each man the chance to make a statement, but I have a feeling Crawford has the greater upside and has an excellent opportunity to show the viewing audience that he can be a real player in the Lightweight division. I look for Crawford to impress and show us that not only is he a blue chipper, but maybe even special.
Prediction: Crawford

I’ve been impressed with Terence Crawford ever since I first saw him against Breidis Prescott earlier this year. I think he will continue to impress against an over matched Andrey Klimov.
Prediction: Crawford
