    What does Gamboa have to do to beat Crawford?

    Can he get inside Crawfords jab effectively? Crawford switches from orthodox to southpaw (and looks comfortable out of both) how can Yuri beat him?

    I'm part Cuban and want Gamboa to win; but Crawford is a tough cookie to crack. He's beaten Danny Garcia in the amateurs also.

    He has to use his amazing handspeed and agility,,,, Gamboa is the closest i have seen to roy jones with his ability to fight with hands down.. His amazing speed has the possibilty to overwhelm anyone..


    Speed kills, so crawford has to use the jab to neutralize the speed...

        Is Gamboa that much faster than Crawford though? Crawford is also big for his weight class.

              Gamboa is most certainly faster than crawford, only gary russel jr can compare to his hand speed...

              Gamboa has been out of the spotlight for awhile, but watch the Mtwaga fight, if that gamboa shows up, he has a great chance of beating crawford..

              Crawford will have size and technique on his side, but gamboa is def faster, especially at combination punching...

                    Come into the fight sharp. Crawford gets wild with his offense, Gamboa can take advantage if he's on his game.

                    Problem is, who knows if he's on his game?
