Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Terence Crawford: WBO Lightweight Championship

[Syf]

Crawford.....

Gamboa coming off of a huge layoff.. and Crawford has the talent and skill to offset Gamboa's athleticism.

I can't wait for this. I'll always root for Gamboa.

Crawford, Gamboa has speed, athleticism and power but he gets careless. He is coming in off of a long layoff, he is the much smaller man and his opponent is a very technical counter-punching boxer. Crawford should be able to break Gamboa down over the long haul and cause him to get desperate. Once he gets desperate, he will get sloppy and caught with a punch he doesn't see....party over.

Or Gamboa UD's the less skilled bigger man Crawford with ease, and we'll all catch you here saying "was peds doe".

I think the problem is people are underestimating Crawford's skills. If Gamboa does win by some miracle.....it will be because of PEDs, I could see him sweating them out earlier today. It won't help him though, the lunging will do him in.

Sweat = PEDs brilliant! because its called fighters re hydrate to their weight because before weigh ins they are trying to **** all the candy they have eaten to drop pounds . Besides fighters are never on their cycle right before fights that's how they dont get caught, and WHEN Gamboa wins it will be because of skills you pre emptive excuses making cry baby at least wait til Crawford looses damn

Don't mind him. Ever since Bradley got exposed by Provo he's never been the same.

well said mistro.
i've noticed rewatching crawfords last fights he doesnt use his heighth advantage all the time. plus sometimes it seems he doesnt have
that, i don't know, that killer instinct. just too nice of a guy!

i like watching fight vids at 2 1/2 speed. you can wiz thru fights fast and can noticed different things. patterns.

I have to go with Crawford in this match..Yet Gamboa is a very live dog and it would not surprise me the least bit to see Gamboa get this win and put his name back to the top of the sport..I also see this fight being very exciting..

I see Crawford trying to make a statement against a high profile opponent,and Gamboa is an offensive beast..Esp if he has someone willing to engage(which I have no doubt Crawford will be willing to do)..I'm pump for this one,has a lot of potential..
