    Crawford did what all great fighters have do.....

    Overcome adversity against other good fighters, adjust....and win

    Crawford is the man. He adjusted well, recovered well when Gamboa had him hurt in the 9th briefly. He showed all sides IMO.

    He can box, he can adjust, he can hurt you. He can recover.

    He made adjustments. Gamboa's speed caught him off guard early on. Once he got his timing down that was all she wrote.

        Gamboa wasn't ready for that Omaha power.

          Too much Omaha Beef for Gamboa.....so much for the Cuban School, and I like both guys

          ALL great fighters have to overcome adversity against other good fighters. Make no mistake, Gamboa is a very good fighter. If Crawford wasn't the REAL DEAL, he would have folded after those first 4 rounds.

            Once he adjusted and started landing, that was it. Gamboa was too chinny and too small to stay in that fight.

            I don't see this greatness everyone's claiming in Crawford, but he's a good, skilled fighter and he's still improving.

              He's got a way to go still. But it takes something when you lose 3 of the first 4 rounds, or 4 of 4 to some, to adjust and not wilt. Overcome adversity in against a real good fighter, and end up not just winning but beating his ass.

              Crawford fights as good as a southpaw as he does orthodox. He can ****, at least at 135.

              He looks good.

                He's alot more exciting than Mayweather too, actually goes for the kill.

                  Gamboa came out swinging and Crawford was like


                  But for real, his counter punching as doing some work, I dont know why he switched up. Made a great fight in the long run.

                    gamboa looked sharp, fast and very prime.

                    but crawford is another level. he's on a future hof level right now.

                    greatness awaits.
