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

[-PBP-]

When did he switch southpaw? Wasn't it after the first round? He then lost the next couple of rounds easily. The fight turned after the first knockdown which is when Yuriorkis went "Full Gamboa" for the first time.

Gamboa has fast hands and attacks at akward angles. It takes time to adjust and get your timing down. I expected Crawford to lose the first few rounds.

He lost the first 2 clearly, switched southpaw late in the 3rd but was still getting beat to the punch, especially with Gamboa's overhand right. Then in round 5 he finally landed a perfectly timed right hook over Gamboa's jab which turned the fight around.

Gamboa gets wreckless after he gets knocked down and has always done that. He would have finished the fight if he stuck to his gameplan.

Gamboa gets reckless all the time. He clearly hurt Crawford in the last round and got wild again. Strange for such a well schooled fighter to completely lose his head.
