    Comments Thread For: Gamboa: I Need To Exploit Crawford's Weaknesses

    MIAMI - Undefeated multiple-time world champion Yuriorkis "The Cyclone of Guantanamo" Gamboa (23-0, 16 KOs) firmly believes he is one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world and he plans to back that up this Saturday night against World Boxing Organization (WBO) lightweight champion Terence Crawford (23-0, 16 KOs).

    Promoted by Top Rank, in association with 50 Cent's SMS Promotions, PS4 and Tecate, Crawford vs. Gamboa will be the 12-round main event, airing live on HBO Boxing After Dark, starting at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, from Century Link Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

    A four-time Cuban National amateur champion, Gamboa clearly has a decisive advantage over Crawford in terms of overall experience and quality of opposition fought. He had more than 250 amateur matches, highlighted by gold medal performances at the 2004 Olympics, 2006 World Cup and 2003 Pan-American Games.

    Uh, oh...sounds like this might be shaping up to be another snoozer. Please bring back "El Ciclon," Yuri.

      Gamboa needs to be real cautious with his approach against Crawford. I think Crawford has some yet to see one punch power. And based off Gamboa's past fights it'll be very bad for him if he gets reckless.

        Yea this fight will showcase two very good boxers. I think Gamboa will take it because he's stronger IMO and I won't predict any knock outs or in what rd this fight will end..

              i am going to go with crawford on this one. something tells me gamboa laps in defense or too much offense will be his downfall. lesser foe dropped him by timing him coming in. i think crawford is skilled and will time gamboa time and time again. late ko or ud.

                  50/50 match up!

                  BIG FAN of both fighters, respect to Crawford for taking this fight because to be honest it was no reason to take this fight this is suppose to be Mikey Garcia fight but Crawford stepped up hope he continues to take on all comers boxing needs more of those type of fighters
