Comments Thread For: Gamboa: I Accepted Crawford Because I Know I'll Win!

[The Problem Child]

Wow, this is news to me. What a fight... I'm riding with Gamhoea on this one. I'm going to have to forget and move on (with the whole Rios fiasco, have had a hard time getting over that) and just back him up for this fight. I don't like Crawford.

Big Props to both of these guys for accepting the challenge without any hesitation.

This one of the most intriguing fights this year so far. HBO is doing a good job with all of their intriguing match making this year.

I will be rooting for Gamboa to pull it off but at the same time i wouldn't feel a way if Crawford wins.

Do you think T-Craw takes this?

I think so. If Gamboa was active I'd MAYBE go with him but that isn't the case here.

Gamboa is fighting a rangier fighter who can also BOX. And if he tries to overwhelm Crawford I don't think Crawford would be affected. He seems very composed.

Damn! Much respect to both guys. Crawford for taking on Gamboa for his first defense and Gamboa for taking such a tough challenge after a long period inactivity. I will pick Gamboa, but if Crawford wins then I'd like to see him vs Mr Abril.

This fight is going to be great. Im leaning slightly towards Crawford.

Very dificult fight, but am supporting Gamby all the way. I know Crowford is very fast and definetly has better "D" but Gamboa has the better Offence, so will see.

I don't have much faith in Gamboa, and I don't think this fight will be that exciting.

Like kiaba said, I doubt this fight will be exciting. If it turns out to be "boring" and Crawford wins then the last thing he needs is being in 2 boring fights back to back. Cause no way in hell is Crawford vs Abril exciting.

Credit to Crawford for taking this fight and not ducking as Garcia did .
I will go with Gamboa but Crawford has better defense , has better range , and is taller . Crawford has good speed to , but Gamboa is faster ,is more powerful and has better
amateur background than Crawford has . If Gamboa trains properly , he wins . Gamboa has seen Crawford style in the great Cuban boxing system , in la "finca" Gamboa has fought Crawford styles . Gamboa by decision .....

good fight , what im surprised about is how did crawford get to fight at his hometown vs a veteran fighter like gamboa?...not that it's a big deal but it seems to show how lil leverage he got

Crawford has the title so that explains his leverage.

I can't wait for this fight Gamboa got himself caught up in the boxing politics and he still ends up on a Top Rank promoted show. People saying Crawford's got this that and the other just remember Gamboa ain't no Ricky Burns. 50/50 fight can't pick my nose.
