Crawford has that cool calm and collect vibe going, like he doesnt give a **** who hes fighting hes never rattled, thats such an underrated trait in a fighter when they're stepping up to this level.

Damn... I knew there was a pretty good size diff but jesus lol. Gamboa might be better p4p imo but Crawford might have too much size/skill ratio. Gamboa doesnt have the most solid of chins and I didnt think he looked particularly impressive his last outing at the weight class... We'll see though he seems to fight to his opponents ability. Crawford is the truth though I'm leaning towards him heavily. Gamboa has that x factor though and I can definitely envision him winning in multiple ways. Gamboa truly is an exceptional talent...

Well we saw a lot of predictions favoring Gary Russell last week...this is yet again another pick em fight. Better man on that night will win, plain and simple. All that size difference shhh makes no difference for skilled boxers which they both are. Now after Crawford fights this fight win or lose he should move up in weight...he look like drained as fk in the face..you can damn near see his molars on the side of his jaw under the hair.

the problem with the gary russell example is it doesn't apply to what we have here. what we have here is totally different. crawford is no russell. crawford towers over rusell (gamboa does too for that matter) russell is like a tiny toddler compared to crawford.......& crawford has beaten world champs where as russell had beaten no one. trust me this is a much harder task for gamboa to pull off. if he wins that would be a great win........but he's up against it. like i said i think ether man deserves a spot on the p4p list depending on how dominant and how good they look in this fight.

I think Crawford's going to get robbed in his own hometown.

The opening bout has me intrigued - Mat Korobov is not fighting a slouch, i cannot pronounce the kids name but he has skills - Crawford will take Gamboa out to pasture - Gamboa is the goods but he has lapses in his focus, this might end up looking like Evander Holyfield vs Mike Tyson - remember
