Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Terence Crawford: WBO Lightweight Championship

[b00g13man]

Great fight. A lot more exciting than I anticipated.

Not impressed by Crawford, so what he beat non active Gamboa who had no business at light weight. Put in Miguel Vazquez the light weight king then we will see what this bum Crawford Is made of

Won't happen, Vazquez just enrolled in the Haymon Protection Program. Crawford is said to be going up to 140 though, so he can prove himself to you there .

On Gamboa being done. When I guy like that loses, after looking so lackluster, it can mess them up mentally.

gamboa. what a warrior, even in the loss he still looked electric. he's not over at all, plenty of fights i'd love to see him in and could see him winning

Exactly. Against ANY OTHER LW, he would have likely won tonight so I can't stand this he was too small for LW stuff. Not one Gamboa fan was complaining through rounds 3. It was only when Crawford made the switch to southpaw and started to take control that things went south. It wasn't necessarily the size, it was Crawford's ability to adapt. Gamboa still has plenty of potential but lets not diminish Crawford's skills here.......I'm serious, this guy is a very, very talented boxer who is going to be one of the best around for a long time.

Can we please get a good trainer for Gamboa? The only way he'll succeed at a higher weight class is if he cleans up his flaws.

Part of Gamboa's flaws,is his mentality..I don't know if anyone can fix that..If he get's touched he goes all out and get's out of control..Crawford was still open to certain punches..Yet Gamboa could not get himself in control to land them..I don't know if you can fix the real problem with Gamboa..

Can we please get a good trainer for Gamboa? The only way he'll succeed at a higher weight class is if he cleans up his flaws. His biggest problem is that his heart takes over when he gets hurt.

50 tried to get Floyd Sr. to train Gamboa. And Floyd Sr was cool with it, but there was an issue with 50 not wanting Gamboa to train at the Mayweather gym. And then there's that issue of beef with 50 and Floyd Jr. So Mayweather Sr. ended up declining.

Sucks because I think Floyd Sr could've really helped Gamboa. And for this fight particular, I think it would've went 12 with Gamboa getting a decision. Because he would've fought a lot smarter.

That was not a 12rd UD.

Please man....they wouldn't have made the fight if they didn't think he had a shot. Crawford moved up to JWW on 2 weeks' notice and beat Prescott. He just lost to the better man tonight. If the weight was too much, it's Gamboa's fault for trying to pushi himself to his limits, no one else.

Well he should learn some lessons at least. Like fight at your weight and get a trainer. Balls and athletic gifts will only take you so far and Crawford was too smart in there .
