Omaha - Terence Crawford retained his World Boxing Organization lightweight title and kept his undefeated record intact with a unanimous decision over the number one contender Ray Beltran. Photos by Nati Harnek & Chris Farina.

The 27-year-old Crawford dominated the 12-round fight, switching to a southpaw stance at times to land shots, and making Mexico's Beltran miss before counterpunching effectively.

In the final round, Crawford (25-0, 17 KOs) was going for the knockout but Beltran managed to hang on and even landed a few left hooks of his own to keep Crawford at bay. Despite all the punishment he was taking, Beltran (29-7-1, 17 KOs) continued to plough forward and even had enough left in the tank to make it an entertaining 12th round.
