    We in the same boat kid. I told cats back home that Crawford had a good chance at beating Gamboa although I didn't think he'd get stopped. Easy money

        Can't wait to get home and watch this on my dvr. I'm so pissed this wasn't an open poll. I had Crawford by stoppage when there were only 3 votes for it.

          IDK why he's receiving so much criticism. We've gotten so used to boxers being matched up a certain way, a "safer" way. He's a new promoter and wants to associate himself with intriguing/important match-ups. Win or lose, he needs to match his fighters tough. Something needs to be done with Dirrell though, what the **** is he doing?

            It was a good fight.

            TC looked classy all night long.

            YG gave him a fight, but everyone who says he is too small are right.

            I think it was a real test for YG and he came up a little short on skill and composure. At the lower weights he could rule the division, just not at 135.

            I can see big things on the horizon for TC - the guy has all the tools to become a really big star.

            Solid entertainment - this is the type of fight that boxing needs.

            Not the rubbish recycled hype that FMJ pumps down some peoples throats.

                People are just bitter that Gamboa lost, that's no big deal and also, not 50's fault. Which Dirrell does he promote, Anthony? If he is trying to promote Andre, then maybe he is ****** because Andre is a lost cause for sure.

                  Crawford really impressed..smart resourceful fighter. Gamboa was giving him a speedbump early on, but switching southpaw to defuse Gamboa then switching back to land a big left hook or right uppercut was a thing of beauty to see. Impressed with his tactical chops.

                    Floyd sr worked with gamboa for gamboa to keep his hands up. That's probably why 50 cent is annoyed.

                      Gamboa taking the loss was probably too big of a hit to 50's own ego. He felt he was probably in there taking that loss and future would-be greater financial revenue.
