I, unfortunately, did not get to see this fight live. But I have had the chance to watch it in the years since (I am sure it will get replayed to help promote the Canelo tussle), and I wish I could data dump the fact I knew how it ended to watch it with fresh eyes. It was a spectacle.

It really was a spectacle.
Most of the time it's difficult to get a proper sense of a live crowd's excitement on a broadcast. The production crew can sweeten or dampen the roar of the spectators as they wish.
This fight, in Crawford's hometown of Omaha, and not a boxing mecca by any stretch, had a truly electric and totally switched-on crowd vibe. I'm not sure what it was but I could sense it somehow.

we're thinking that gomboa will have done better versus crawford than crawford will do against boxxnelo. !

if canelo hits crawford rifght on the tip of the chin,he will leave the arena , luckily the sstadium has no roof!

I just find it odd that this was one of the best fights you ever saw...I mean Gamboa with a torn achilles tendon - kudos to Gamboa! What does that tell you about Crawford?

An undersized Gamboa pushed and looked very good vs P4P Crawford, then after this fight started to look like sh$t. What happened? Nash out - His Majesty

Gamboa tore his Achilles in 2019, Crawford-Gamboa was in 2014

[JOITATS]

Crawford hgt 173cm reach 188cm
Gamboa hgt 165cm reach 164cm

24cm difference in reach?
And it was very competitive fight
What a joke… lol

Thanks for this article! I appreciate the back story. Timing is perfect. I started breaking down this fight round my round and in the first 3 Gamboa looks brilliant. It can see how feel the whole crowd is against Gamboa. Much appreciated! Keep rockin’

I get that Gamboa had already one bout at Lightweight. But honestly not sure why his team wanted to fight such a bigger opponent.

Rigondeaux too who was super bantamweight moving up two weight classes to fight Lomachenko. Either they are very brave or just have bad management.
