NEW YORK -- Glen Tapia was ringside Saturday night when Terrence Crawford stood on the second rope, mouth open and tongue sticking out for the entire world to see.

''It's real satisfying,'' Crawford said after stopping Henry Lundy 2 minutes, 9 seconds into the fifth round to retain his WBO World Championship Super Lightweight title Saturday night.

''Glad I got the job done (and) put on a great show.''

The bout picked up where the fighters left off at their final press conference Thursday, when they exchanged words before Crawford shoved Lundy in front of photographers.

Crawford (28-0) drew blood in the fourth round, opening a cut along Lundy's right eye. Crawford then dropped Lundy (26-6-1) for a standing eight count with a combination early in the fifth, and after the fight was restarted, Crawford's assault continued until referee Steve Willis stopped the fight.

''I caught him with some good shots,'' Crawford said. ''I was picking up momentum.''

According to Compubox stats, Crawford landed 89 of 247 total punches, including 49 of 84 power punches. By comparison, Lundy connected on 47 of 211 punches, and 31 of 85 power punches.

''He got me with a good shot,'' Lundy said.

Following the fight, Crawford and Lundy embraced in the ring.

''(He) hit me on the top of my head and threw (my) equilibrium off,'' Lundy said. ''Couldn't recover.''
