The WBO is mandating that the winner of the Thomas Dulorme - Terence Crawford fight will face Chris Algieri in their next bout. Algieri is fresh off a loss to Manny Pacquiao. Crawford and Dulorme are fighting for the WBO 140lb championship.
Crawford's trainer, Bryan MacIntyre told the Sweet Science website, "Listen, you are going to see the best of Terence Crawford at 140. That weight class is stacked."
MacIntrye also talked about training, "We're about to step it up. That means training in Colorado for the next 6 1/2 weeks. MacIntrye doesn't seem to be too worried with Dulorme calling him a "good boxer," but also referring to him as a "front runner."
