Comments Thread For: Crawford-Gamboa Title Fight Confirmed, 6/28 In Omaha

yes. he is from Nebraska.

Oh ok then makes sense

Good fight. I think Crawford may have been thrown in a little to soon but Gamboa hasnt looked impressive as of late, which has been awhile, so for me this is a 60/40 fight with slight edge for Gamoboa.

Crawford beat Burns like I expected he would but I wasn't overly impressed. Gamboa would be a great win no matter how he gets it.

Great fight. I don't have a good feeling about Gamboa. He's too inactive and when he does fight it's usually underwhelming these days. Hopefully he shows up looking right and we get a great fight out of it. Props to Crawford for taking a risky one.

[MC Hammer]

Gamboa didn't look good at 135 last time, gets frustrated with anybody who makes it boring, goes to the canvas pretty easy, and has been inactive. Not to mention the height and reach advantage. This is Crawford's fight, I can't see Gamboa taking it.

Crawford is not going to win this fight in my mind. Even a past it Gamboa beats him. I would favor MGarcia over Gamboa, but Crawford is a little crude. He will have his moments, but who doesn't against Gamboa?
Gamboa cleared with the law from beating up his girlfriend/wife or whatever?

dude, stop mentioning garcia. they obviously ducked gamboa (they knew gamboas speed would be a problem) at least gamboa has the opportunity to get on the p4p list if he beats crawford (in a way it would be a replacement for a garcia win and a much more difficult fight)

I have Gamboa winning but wouldn't be surprised if Crawford took it.

Omaha? Of all the places... I would've considered flying into many a major city for this fight, but not Omaha. (No offense to the Cornhuskers on this board.)

Anyway...this is gonna be a real litmus test for the inactive Gamboa. We, his fans, will finally have a look at what his potential at 135 might really be. Crawford may not be the best the division has to offer, but he's certainly good. I hope Yuri passes this test with flying colors. He needs to get back on the map. The way Gamboa's career has gone the last couple of years, a loss will effectively end whatever promise his career once held.

Good fight... Inactivity I'm sure has hurt Gamboa's development. Plus his defense is terrible. This is the first fighter that Gamboa has faced that can at least put together some punches.

Crawford by decision

If Gamboa fights a technical fight Crawford from the outside will pick him apart. Gamboa has to pressure Crawford get inside throw fast combinations. Crawford by decision

Really really a fight to see!!! Gamboa is favored in the first half of the fight IMO.
