          I'm going with Gamboa, putting lots of pressure on Crawford and breaking him down

              This looks like a good match on paper but it might turn out to be very boring. Both fighters will play this like a chess game, I don't expect a lot of activity. They will be very careful with their shot / move selection.

              Hopefully, Gamboa goes for the kill but I believe they will both try to outbox the other.

              I am riding with Gamboa on this one though.

                Zewski is fighting on the undercard against Prince Doku and I'm not making this up he has 18 wins and the opponents he's beaten had a total 7 wins he's beaten 12 guys who had not registered a win when they fought.

                When is this guy going to fight anyone at all TR has Solomon why not make that fight.

                  Who else can he put on in Florida? Cotto out of the question because most of the money went to him and there would be no money for a Rigo fight... heard his minimums are pretty high.

                  He wouldn't put Abril on a card either after the Rios fight... that'd just bring more attention to that fight
                  They are a few Cubans he could use, Socarras, Dorticos, Savigne, Franco, Salinas, Ortiz, Gonzalez, Barthelemy (it was an open bid) and he could negotiate with Tyson, the point is to bring some major event to South Florida, test the water before making the statement that Cubans had no followers.

                    Gamboa is going to put on a masterclass.

                      damn when fight was first announced, i went with Crawford...now that it's close, I'm moving back on the fence.

                      Burns is currently looking horrible in his fight today and so crawford's big win isn't holding up as much as some of the fighters you see on Gamboa resume.

                      felt like gamboa has been sliding somewhat, in his legs...but losing a step for someone as talented as he might not be that bad...he'll still be fast.

                      the doubt has crept in because of ****ing Lomachenko and his perfect performance....he has again reminded me how far the am pedigree and/or a 'high ceiling' can get you. yuri is, of course, older now but guys like this always show glimpses. He could still have a lot left to give. I like my guy Crawford, but gamboa talent has always leaped off the screen, his ceiling has always been higher than terence's.

                      so, how much of his talent has he crapped away? he's never been too far out of shape that i know of. i feel like that means something as it relates to this fight. it's enough to leave me put me back on the fence
