Terence Crawford-Yuriorkis Gamboa in Omaha

[Pain~Lucy]

LAS VEGAS — A deal has been reached, in principle, to match RING No. 3-rated lightweight Terence Crawford in a defense of his WBO belt opposite Yuriorkis Gamboa on either June 28 or July 12 in Crawford's hometown of Omaha, Neb., Top Rank CEO Bob Arum confirmed on Friday.

The 26-year-old Crawford (23-0, 16 knockouts), was last in the ring for a dominant, title-winning decision over Ricky Burns in Glasgow, Scotland in March.

A former Olympic gold medalist for Cuba, Gamboa (23-0, 16 KOs) was last in action for a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Darlys Perez in June.

The title fight will be the first in Omaha since heavyweight champion Joe Frazier beat Ron Stander in 1972, according to the Associated Press.

I'm slightly in favour if Crawford.

very intriguing fight, but I think crawford edge this

[4Corners]

Great fight. Crawford is legit, we'll see how much Gamboa has regressed or we'll see Gamboa is still for real. He's left a lot to be desired his last couple fights.

I like both guys, but I'm riding with Crawford on this.

[Rip Chudd]

Heck yeah!! About time Gamboa steps back in there, 50 cent is like the new Don King, just has his fighters sitting on the shelf.

[Bushbaby]

Dude Crawford is gonna beat the crap out of Gamboa. Taking bets, yessir!! I wonder of Gamboa is gonna pull out, or even show for his press conferences.

[UTEP]

Crawford's got this. Gamboa's been way too inactive. He's only fought 2 times in the last 3 years.

[Rome-By-Ko]

I like it..I have to go with Crawford in this one..I think it should be a good fight,just to many unknowns to ride with Gamboa..

[Basco]

Excellent fight and a hard one to pick a winner. I Really like this fight!
