Unified junior welterweight world champion Terence Crawford has faced all sorts of styles in title fights, be it opponents who were fast or slow, technical or slick, taller or shorter.Next up he will face a powerful puncher.Crawford will make the fourth defense of his 140-pound crown when he meets brawler John Molina on Dec. 10 (HBO, 9:35 p.m. ET/PT) at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska, Crawfords hometown. Crawford and Molina are scheduled to meet face-to-face at a news conference at the arena to formally announce the fight on Thursday.Molina is a tough opponent who has been in the ring with the best of the division, Crawford said. I cant wait for Dec. 10 because Molina is really a good puncher and I will be going in there to fight as well.A win could put Crawford into the sweepstakes to face Manny Pacquiao next year. Pacquiao came out of a brief retirement and reclaimed a welterweight world title on Saturday night in Las Vegas with a one-sided decision win against Jessie Vargas. If there is no rematch between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Pacquiao said on Sunday that Crawford is an opponent he would be interested in and that he would be willing to drop down to junior welterweight to face him. It would be a relatively easy fight to make because they are both promoted by Top Rank.But Molina is up first.This is another great opportunity for Terence to showcase his pound-for-pound ability, co-manager Cameron Dunkin said. John Molina is a very tough contender. Its a wonderful opportunity for Terence to get back into the ring to make another great statement.After back-to-back fights away from home, Crawford will be fighting again in Omaha, where he is a popular draw. The fight will be his fourth at the CenturyLink Center in his past seven bouts.For me, fighting in Omaha means so much, said Crawford, who is friendly with billionaire businessman and Omaha native Warren Buffett. There is no place like home.Molina (29-6, 23 KOs), 33, of Covina, California, will be the heavy underdog in his second world title fight. In 2012, he lost to then-lightweight titleholder Antonio DeMarco, a bout that was stopped after 44 seconds in the first round.Between 2014 and 2015, Molina suffered through a three-fight losing streak, an 11th-round knockout by Lucas Matthysse in the 2014 Boxing Writers Association of America fight of the year, a 10-round decision to former world titleholder Humberto Soto and a one-sided 12-round decision to Adrien Broner, after which Molina tested positive for a banned diuretic and was fined and suspended.But Molina bounced back with two wins in a row, including the signature one of his career in June, when he brawled and boxed to win a unanimous decision in an exciting fight against former junior welterweight titleholder Ruslan Provodnikov. Another shot at a world title is something he has yearned for.I am thankful for the opportunity, Molina said. I am training hard for what I know will be a great fight.Tom Brown, Molinas promoter, hopes Molina can continue the momentum from the win against Provodnikov.John is coming off a huge victory over Ruslan Provodnikov and is prepared to shock everyone again by beating Crawford on Dec. 10, Brown said.The 29-year-old Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs) was the fighter of the year in 2014 when he won a lightweight world title overseas and defended it twice before moving up to junior welterweight in 2015 and winning a vacant title. Crawford is coming off the biggest win of his career, a surprisingly one-sided decision victory against Viktor Postol on July 23 in Las Vegas to unify two belts in a showdown between the top two fighters in the weight class. Now he is coming home again.The Omaha fans will be packed to the rafters in support of their favorite son Terence Crawford, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said. John Molina will provide a great test for Terence but I think its a test Terence will pass with flying colors. A victory on Dec. 10 will make a strong argument for Terence to be named fighter of the year.Said Brian McIntyre, Crawfords trainer and co-manager: Its an honor to bring a warrior like Molina to Omaha and to test Terence Crawford at his best.With Top Rank and Al Haymon, Molinas manager and the creator of Premier Boxing Champions, having settled a $100 million lawsuit earlier this year, both sides are on speaking terms again and this fight marks the first time in many years -- other than the 2015 Mayweather-Pacquiao megafight -- that they have matched their fighters in a nonmandatory bout.
