OMAHA, Neb. Deonte Thompson Jersey . -- Terence "Bud" Crawford stopped Yuriorkis Gamboa in the ninth round Saturday night to successfully defend his WBO lightweight belt in a match of unbeatens. Crawford wobbled Gamboa with a left and knocked him down with another left earlier in the ninth, then connected with a right to the chin at the 2:53 mark, prompting referee Gino Rodriguez to call the fight. As Rodriguez waved his arms, Crawford ran to a neutral corner and jumped on the shoulders of co-manager Brian McIntyre. "I hurt him plenty of times," Crawford said, "so when I hurt him the last time, I was looking to finish." The 26-year-old Crawford (24-0, 17 knockouts) was fighting in his hometown for the first time as a professional, and more than 10,000 showed up at the CenturyLink Center, many of them chanting "Craw-ford! Craw-ford!" throughout. "I imagined everybody screaming, supporting me," Crawford said. "It was everything I thought it was going to be." It was his first title defence since his 12-round unanimous decision over Ricky Burns in Glasgow, Scotland, in March. He said he plans to move up to junior welterweight after this fight. The 32-year-old Cuban-born Gamboa (23-1, 16 knockouts), a 2004 Olympic champion, was fighting for the first time in a year. Crawford took control in the middle rounds. In the fifth, Crawford knocked down Gamboa with a left to the side of his head. Crawford staggered him just before the bell with a flurry of shots, bringing the crowd to its feet. The 5-foot-5 Gamboa, with a 5-inch reach disadvantage, had trouble working inside against Crawford. When Crawford moved in, Gamboa used his superior speed to duck under him. Crawford landed a right to Gamboas cheek in the second round. As the fighters went into a clinch, Gamboa put a couple quick rights to the back of Crawfords head, drawing a warning from the referee. Gamboa landed a couple stinging shots in the third, but that he never was able to hurt Crawford. "He caught me with a good shot in the ninth, at the beginning," Crawford said. "It got my attention and buzzed me a little." Omaha hadnt been site for a world championship fight since 1972, when Joe Frazier successfully defended his heavyweight title against Ron Stander, who was in the crowd Saturday night. In the co-main event, WBO No. 1-ranked middleweight Matt Korobov remained unbeaten with a unanimous decision over Jose Uzcatequi for that organizations intercontinental title. Korobov (24-0) landed a hard left to the previously unbeaten Uzcatequis nose in the first round, knocked him down twice in the fifth and put him on his knees with a body blow in the ninth. The 23-year-old Uzcatequi (22-1), who had stopped his previous five opponents, was in his first professional fight outside Mexico. In another fight, unbeaten Canadian Mikael Zewski stopped Prince Doku Jr. of Ghana in the third round of a scheduled 10-round bout for the NABF welterweight title.

The trainers for both California Chrome and Lexie Lou gave strong indications that the two will meet in the 1 1/8-mile turf stakes on Saturday, Nov. 29. (California Chrome) came out of the race (Breeders Cup Classic) great. I was up there (Los Alamitos) on Monday and trained him and he looks super, trainer Art Sherman said Wednesday morning. Ive wanted to try him on turf, this is an opportune time. And Horse of the Year is on the line. If he wins it, maybe he could be Horse of the Year. It could help. I dont know. While Sherman also nominated his chestnut colt to the Native Diver, same day as the Derby, he clearly is looking at the Derby for Chromes next start. Just the way he moves (running motion) makes me think he could be a good grass horse, Sherman said Thursday morning. Ive wanted to try him on turf, this is an opportune time. If he can run on grass it will give me a lot of options with him next year as a 4-year-old. Lexie Lou, trained by Mark Casse, is no stranger to turf or taking on male 3-year-olds. Roger Staubach Jersey. The filly defeated colts and geldings in the Queens Plate and knows her way around a grass course. I got to tell you I think our filly is pretty tough. She hasnt beaten California Chrome, but she has beaten the boys before. Actually, I think its kind of intriguing, Casse remarked. One thing we know is, our horse will run on the grass. This is my 34th year (training). Ive breezed a lot of horses over the grass and Ive done a lot of things. Ive had horses that worked good on the grass that I thought would run lights out and they didnt run a lick. Ive had ones that didnt look very good in works that ran great in the race. You never know until you try. As a backup, Casse also nominated Lexie Lou to the $300,000 Matriarch, one mile on turf for older fillies and mares on Sunday, Nov. 30, Turf winners also nominated for the Hollywood Derby include Long On Value and Tourist, both trained by Bill Mott.
