great fight and great win by Crawford. I thought Gamboa was too small, and fought reckless, while Crawford fought compose, and was the bigger man, ut if he plans to move to 140 he cant be getting tagged like that. Guys like Maidana, Provodnikov, and co0mpany would do him bad.
If Crawford tights that defense up, he will be a handfull for anybody
By the way Jerry Olaya sucks ass as a translator!
This is why we have weight classes.
Gamboa was too small.
He was, but he wasn't afraid to take the challenge.
Fighters often look to preserve their records and take the most winnable fights, he's jumped divisions, went in with a bigger guy who is really good and went for it. He performed very well too, ultimately recklessness cost him, but even after being down he managed to wobble Crawford, then got reckless again going for the kill.
His defense is fine. It was more due to Gamboa being that good. I'd like to see Crawford fight Vasquez though. There is no way Arum puts Garcia in with him. He won't want to lose one of his big guys.
Crawford's defense is fine. Gamboa's speed surprised him early and gamboa's a fast mother****er. He is going to hit you no matter what LOL, but once crawford adjusted it was over.
.
Exactly. There is only one Gamboa and nobody from 135-140 possesses that hand speed.
Gamboa's speed is why he was caught so often tonight. Let's not forget Gamboa is a natural 126lb fighter and an insanely fast one at that...Crawford won't see speed like that at 140. If a small Gamboa can wobble you though, how does he take a shot from a 140lb fighter? We'll see.
140 is brawlers or tall boxers yeah no speedy guys but Crawford has been tagged by lesser guys.

I agree he urgently needs to tighten up his defence, the most impressive thing to me is his temperament.
Agreed. His temper is his best asset. The kid looks like he could be the goods!
Nah Crawford defense may have looked like he has a shotty defence but in fact the guy is a chameleon. He reads his foe and adapts to the situation i was worried from the begining because i could see him reading Gamboa slowly figuring him out and Gamboa falling for it.
Na bro. He rarely gets hit like that in other fights. The only reason he was getting hit easily early was cause gamboa's blazing speed. When he goes to 140 he's going to look even better than today since he won't be killing himself to make weight
Dude have you seen his other fights, he always gets tag, at 140 well see. He wont get away with BS like that.
hahah yeah and Pacquiao too. GTFO. Hey I think a guy like Mathysse rapes Crawford. That right hand that Gamboa landed all night would had been lights out against a top 140 pounder

I see crawford as the 3rd best American fighter today after mayweather and ward.
By beating cans an a undersized FW? GTFO Bradley >>>>> Crawford, Hopkins >>>> Crawford etc etc
