Boxing: Crawford Adds 3rd World Title.

                

Double world boxing titles holder Unbeaten Terence Crawford has also annexed the WBO welterweight world title by outclassing Jeff Horn in Las Vegas.

Horn, in the second defence of the belt he won by shocking Manny Pacquiao last July, was pounded relentlessly before American Crawford was awarded a ninth-round technical knockout.

The win gives Crawford a world title in a third weight division and takes his record to 33-0 with 24 knockouts.

Former WBO lightweight champion Crawford beat Julius Indongo last August to become the undisputed light-welterweight champion.

He floored Horn with a ferocious barrage in the ninth and, although the Australian beat the count, another Crawford attack convinced referee Robert Byrd to end the contest.

Santa Cruz successfully defends WBA title

Another world champion Leo Santa Cruz, retained his WBA featherweight belt with unanimous victory over Abner Mares.

In a rematch of their 2015 title bout, which Santa Cruz won by a majority decision, the Mexican took his record to 34-1-1 after winning on all three judges' scorecards in Los Angeles.
