Terence Crawford jumped up and down in jubilation as he notched the biggest win of his career with a 10th-round TKO victory over Shawn Porter to retain his WBO welterweight title. Crawford made his fifth consecutive title defense, but it didn't come easy.

Porter applied relentless pressure in a rugged, tit-for-tat battle before Crawford scored two knockdowns in Round 10, leading Porter's father and trainer, Kenny Porter, to throw in the towel.
