Crawford retains pair of titles

-

Terence Crawford remained unbeaten when Felix Diaz’s corner stopped the fight after the 10th round of their 140-pound fight at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Crawford (31-0, 22 KOs) had dominated after a couple close early rounds, and Diaz’s left eye appeared swollen shut, making him helpless to spot Crawford’s lightning-fast combinatio­ns

Crawford successful­ly defended his World Boxing Council and World Boxing Organizati­on titles and could seek a matchup with Manny Pacquiao if he elects to move up to 147 pounds.

Diaz (19-2, 9 KOs) lost for the first time at 140 pounds.
