calzaghe had some pop too, only arm chair analysts on here think otherwise. if he really did use to slap then why didnt fighters just walk through everything he threw and crack him?

im picking crawford by tko because i think his style is going to cause gamboa problems and he is going to be eating punches all night + gamboa is off balance a lot on his fights and has been down before at lower weights plenty of times.

had gamboa been at his best/prime i would pick him but that layoff combined with his style + only fought once at this weight, thats red flags for me

Called it. Going into this fight it was very similar to martinez vs cotto but this time I picked the boxer instead of the power puncher

[Box-Office]

Crawfords final KD of Gamboa made Sport Centers top 10.

And they say boxing is dead.

People who say that have no clue at all. Just ask one what was the last fight they watched and then hear crickets roar.

Gamboa isn't known as a brawler like these supposed power punchers out here but he definitely has more heart. Matthyse and any of those guys would had covered up and clinched if they found themselves getting countered and hit at will. To be honest who really has an iron chin when you keep throwing while hurt? Crawford with his power at 135 knocks any of these guys out.

You must've missed his last fight against Molina. Gamboa is a gutsy warrior but there's need to discredit other fighters to prove that, specially a guy like Matthysse

Against John Molina? Molina isn't skilled at any form or fashion and has worse defense than a wet paper bag. Matthyse knew not to throw a lot against Judah, Devon, and Garcia.

Anyway I am not trying to discredit Matthyse but just telling people not to try and diminish Crawford's win by saying this person or that person would had done better than Gamboa.

You must not watch boxing right? Go watch his fights agaisnt those three guys again you'll see how heisitant he was towards the end

of course your trying to discredit the guy you said he would cover up and clinch if he was getting hit at will which is what was happening in the Molina fight. He got knocked down twice and came back throwing bombs to ko the guy.

Like I said Gamboa showed guts it doesn't make him more of a warrior by pretending he's the only guy in boxing that shows guts.

Gamboa will have his moments, but he will leave his chin exposed, and will square up and Crawford will be able to land some shots and pick gamboa apart

Yeah, I do to, maybe even a couple of times..


If Crawford is the goods he should deal with gamboa like Barrera did prince naz

It's not so much that gamboa has a bad chin, or is chinny,, he just doesn't protect himself properly and that causes like 99% of all his career knockdowns! he just gets to reckless and sloppy.. I think Crawford will make him pay as others have failed to do so, plus Crawford is a giant compared to gamboa..
The combination of size and skill will be too much for gamboa, especially considering he hasn't been active nor in big fights in years,, if it was 2011 gamboa I might think differently but inactive gamboa over the past 2-3 years I just to not trust. Plus he seems to be off the juice

I don't think the crowd will effect Crawford, he seems like a cool customer.. And yes Crawford should be able to tag gamboa.. Nearly everyone has been able to, and some have dropped him.. Crawford is the best fighter gamboa has ever faced and is much much bigger..

Crawford isn't flashy but he is in the same vein as ward or Hopkins,, they just get the job done

Pretty much nailed it...

You trying to discredit my boxing knowledge? I will say the same to you but since you have one of the greatest counter punchers in the game as your sig I am hoping you have some type of mental grasp of pugilism.

Matthyse did not throw as much as he did against Molina as he did against those other guys. He was getting countered and outmaneuvered, he eventually started looking for one shot and against Garcia he started to get weary. Stop trying to act like Molina above D class. Matthyse is good but he's not in any from better than Gamboa.

My point still stands let anyone keep tht much activity Gamboa displayed going against a counter puncher and they gone be put down.
