Terence "Bud" Crawford is set to make the second defense of his World Boxing Organization (WBO) super lightweight title, as he faces Philadelphia's Hank Lundy. Both fighters made weight ahead of their HBO headliner. which takes place Saturday evening at Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York City.

Crawford (27-0, 19KOs) came in at 139.2 lbs. - his lightest weight since moving back up in weight a year ago following his lightweight title reign. Lundy (28-6-1, 13KOs) weighed 138.2 lbs. for his first career world title challenge. 

Saturday's show marks Crawford's debut on MSG property, having already established himself as a draw at home in Omaha, Nebraska. The unbeaten boxer - hailed by the Boxing Writers Association of America as 2014 Fighter of the Year - has sold out CenturyLink Center in each of his three appearances at his hometown venue. 

In the co-feature, rising contender Felix Verdejo faces Brazil's William Silva in a 10-round battle of unbeaten lightweights.

Verdejo (19-0, 14KOs) - who represented Puerto Rico in the 2012 London Olympics - came in right at the 135 lbs. divisional limit. Silva (23-0, 14KOs) weighed in at a lean and ready 134.4. lbs.

With a win, Verdejo is penciled for an April 16 return in his hometown of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The event is expected to air as a special edition of boxing on Univision as a beta case for larger budgeted shows than would normally appear on UniMas (which is owned by Univision), with whom Top Rank recently renewed its long-term relationship.
