LAS VEGAS: Unbeaten Terence Crawford made a successful defence of his WBO welterweight title on Saturday (Sunday in Manila), stopping Shawn Porter by knocking the challenger down twice in the 10th round in Las Vegas.

Porter's father and trainer, Ken, surprised the crowd at the Mandalay Bay casino by stopping the fight after the second knockdown to hand the 34-year-old Crawford his ninth-straight victory inside the dis-tance.
