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

gamboa looked sharp, fast and very prime.

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

greatness awaits.

All you're going to hear now though is that Gamboa is a small inactive fighter.....even though he came out looking like a beast in this fight, and fast as ****.

The Gamboa tonight would have beaten a lot of guys at 135.

i agree. this didn't look like a past prime or shot gamboa at all.

very good win for crawford.

Especially considering comments in the fight thread saying Gamboa was going to win every round, was just another class than Crawford, and how Crawford was overrated.

Crawford ends up beating that ass, and Gamboa is a small inactive fighter.

Gamboa being small didn't help, but lets not act like Crawford didn't make great adjustments, and just beat him because he's the better all around fighter.

as much as I like Crawford this was clear size winning a fight. I mean he was bigger than Mayweather. :/... That and he's legitimately good he could exploit that size.


Gamboa seemed better though... Up til Crawford just decided he could eat Gamboa's best punch and made the correct decision of going southpaw to lay his hands on Gamboa. Even though it's not his natural stance, with the size and weight he doesnt need full leverage on his good hand (the right). He made the right adjustments so to speak to beat what seemed a more skilled fighter. I'm excited to see Crawford at 140 so we can see how he can cope vs guys as big with power. He should fight Lamont and then he can fight one of the bigger hitters. Would love to see him vs Alvarado and see how/ if he can exploit someones faults at the lower tier at least.

His last 2 fights are dreams come true type of fights, both of them lol

Wasn't he?

I don't even think it was Adversity to be honest, I think he stuck with the gameplan which was probably to be patient and wait for Gamboa to make a mistake which he does every fight and make him pay for his mistakes and Crawford Did that. Notice that Crawford did not get wild after hurting or dropping Gambao, he remained patient and stayed very discipline

[4Corners]

Wasn't he?

No one was saying that during the first four rounds when Gamboa was fast as ever, and looking like he was out classing him though.

It had to do with both. Crawford is the goods IMO. I just wanted to see how he overcame adversity and he passed that test at least tonight.

[RubenSonny]

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.

I agree with this, the way Kellerman was verbally slobbing on his knob was very creepy.

Everyone saying the size was everything because Gamboa was trading with such a bigger man, but to me the size was second to the brain . Crawford 100% outsmarted Gamboa he traded on purpose because he knew he would get the better of it no matter what.
