Crawford closing in on title shot Oct 3rd 2013, 21:49, by Dan Rafael ORLANDO, Fla. -- Lightweight contender Terence Crawford of Omaha, Neb., returns to action with a lot at stake. The 26-year-old Crawford (21-0, 16 KOs) faces Andrey Klimov (16-0, 8 KOs), 31, of Russia, in a scheduled 10-rounder on Saturday night (HBO, 9:45 ET/PT), on the Miguel Cotto-Delvin Rodriguez undercard at the Amway Center, knowing that a victory probably is the last hurdle to a world title shot. If all goes well for Crawford, who is a mandatory challenger for titleholder Ricky Burns, he should be facing him early next year.
