Crawford Ready To Defend His WBO Welterweight Title

World Champion Terrance Crawford is back in his hometown of Omaha for a title fight at the CHI Health Center on Saturday night.  Crawford will face undefeated Jose Benavidez for the title.

Before the two meet in the ring they had weigh-ins on Friday and the tensions between the two fighters continued to grow.  Crawford weighed in at 145.4 pounds and Benavidez at 145 pounds. 

After the weigh-in the two tangled. Benavidez shoved Crawford, who countered by throwing a punch with his right hand.  The punch didn't land,  but it got both sides heated and security had to step in and separate them.

The fight will air Saturday night at 9:30 p.m. on ESPN.
