Fighter history
Terence “Bud” Crawford (38-0) sits atop of the welterweight division and many consider him to be the best pound-for-pound striker at 147 pounds. He last stepped in the ring opposite Shawn Porter in November 2021, defeating him via TKO in the tenth round. Crawford is a versatile and textbook fighter, who is looking to add another win to his resume in front of his hometown of Omaha.
David Avanesyan (29-3-1) is a Russian born professional who is the current European welterweight champion. Avanesyan is entering the bout on a six fight win-streak, earning knockouts in each. This will be a big leap in competition for Avanesyan and his first bout in United States soil since 2018, where he lost in Nevada via TKO against Egidijus Kavaliauskas.
WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford is in a high-pressure situation tonight, needing a good performance against challenger David Avanesyan to keep himself in the running for bigger fights against PBC stars Jermell Charlo and Errol Spence.
Crawford-Avanesyan fight tonight on BLK Prime PPV in an event that begins at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT. Boxing247 will give updates below on the action tonight.
According to Crawford, he took the fight with the 34-year-old Avanesyan because he wanted to stay busy. However, #2 WBO Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis was available and was screaming for a fight.
In an ideal world, that should have been the fighter that Crawford should be fighting tonight, especially with him repeatedly calling himself the #1 welterweight in the division.
If Crawford is really the top 147-pounder in the division, he should be willing to take risky fights against guys that could potentially take his #1 spot.
The combination of Crawford walking out of the Spence talks and opting not to face Boots Ennis in favor of a lesser threat suggest that he lacks the confidence to be the #1 welterweight. It’s one thing for Crawford to call himself the best at 147 and another thing for him to go out and try and prove it.
Avanesyan (29-3-1, 17 KOs) comes into the fight as a sizable underdog, but he still has a decent chance of the 35-year-old Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs) is overlooking him due to his interest in fighting Errol Spence Jr next.
