Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Terence Crawford: WBO Lightweight Championship

[M Bison]

Gamboa wears down from inactivity and crisp counter shots and loses a UD while getting dropped once along the way.

Almost time, looking forward to this.

Hope Yuri is sharp, if so he will put on a show.

This should be a really good fight. I'm leaning towards Crawford. I hope Gamboa looks good in there though.

I read that Crawford plans on moving up to 140 after this fight.

Rooting for Gamboa and picking him by decision.

Uzcategui's biggest win was against David Lopez... and he got touched up there... also beat his ass into the ground.

Korobov by dec

This is a great card. Undefeated vs Undefeated, 2x.

I voted for Gamboa by decision. As I said above, heart says Gamboa head says Crawford.

That said, I'm still not entirely use to thinking of Gamboa as an underdog. Part of me wants to believe Gamboa will figure out a way to take control.

But than, Crawford is likely just too solid and will be able to exploit Gamboa's weaknesses. The size difference is no small factor. Crawford is 2.5 inches taller and is a career LW/JWW. Gamboa is a career FW, JLW, with just one fight at LW.

The cards are stacked against Gamboa this time, I think. But I wouldn't count him out.

Also the long layoff and the reach advantage....gonna be a long night if Crawford finds a way to keep him at the end of it

Sure...I'll even have it altered up to say "Gamboa is my daddy" the day after the fight.

Fun article on Crawford selling out and being made into an attraction in Omaha.

Also.... there's this

***8220;No,***8221; Arum told Maxboxing. ***8220;We really believe that Garcia, his lawyers are being paid for by [Al] Haymon and he***8217;s being directed by Haymon.
