On Saturday night HBO will be presenting a WBO Lightweight World Title match between Terence Crawford and Yuriorkis Gamboa in Crawford’s hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. This will be the first legitimate world title match in Omaha in over forty two years, when Joe Frazier defended his world heavyweight title against Ron Stander in 1972.
Upcoming prospects Matt Korobov and Jose Uzcategui will meet in the co-feature of the night in the middleweight division.
