Crawford better be careful. Recent history has shown fighters underperforming when coming home.

Martinez
Khan
Garcia
Alvarado

And I think I'm missing one or two more.

Chris Arreola?

One of the biggest problems with boxing right now is promoters not putting fighters in their communities in smaller arenas.

Crawford SHOULD fight more in Omaha. Broner in Cincy. Glen Tapia in AC. Danny Garcia in philly/AC. Makes for better crowds and looks better on TV.

Especially a guy like Crawford whose style doesn't appeal to many (if you use NSB opinion as a guide).

I dunno, man. Boxing isn't that popular. You're trying to make a living as a promoter. It's nice and all to promote big fights in small towns, but they just don't pay the bills.

I generally don't call bull**** with stuff like this....But... BULL****.

It's probably true, having a world champion from Nebraska likely isn't an everyday thing. I'd say he got good press, and now the people behind him.

I agree. I changed my mind after thinking about it.

Fights need to be put where they can sell the most tickets. This fights sells more in Nebraska than anyplace.except Cuba and I don't think Gamboa wants to go back lol!!!

Its just good that a Crawford v Gamboa fight will have a great crowd atmosphere.

Farenas a really tough guy, so I got nothing against that fight.... the Perez fight doe.....is different, haha.

That Perez fight was painful to watch. I think there was more inactivity in that fight by Gamboa than in all his previous fights combined.

Let's hope the trend continues.

I'll be quite surprised if Gamboa doesn't come in there ready to tear Crawford's heart out. This is Yuri's best chance to bring his career back from the dead. Do or die, as far as I'm concerned.

I hope not. Im tired of the Gamboa talk. He needs to go away already. If he wins this fight then what? He fights in another year?

Good to hear. I'm looking forward to this fight.

Chris Arreola?

Was it? I have no idea where that fool is from ANYMORE or where the fight took place. Lol
