Comments Thread For: Crawford Drops Gamboa Four Times, Stops Him In Nine

[Le Petit Prince]

As I say over and over and over again. The ability to ADJUST is EASILY the most important attribute in the sport. Not speed, not timing, not power, the IQ to adjust to your opponents ability your opponents positive and come out on top. It's not easiy to do, but once you have that ability you are nigh unbeatable.

Good point. Calzaghe made it to the Hall of Fame with his ability to adjust as his premium asset.

Shortboa did a good job making it a fight. I knew he would get stopped but he didn't look outclassed.

I still think Gamboa can beat pretty much anyone in the division.

He'd probably beat Beltran and i don't think Vazquez would be able to out-box him, Gamboa is too fast and athletic.

I think he would KO Figueroa if he doesn't get caught in an exchange.

I agree with you fam. If gamboa chose to just pick his opponents off and fight from the outside he might be more boring but he would be pretty hard to beat. Pretty much fight the way he fought Crawford for the first 4 rounds but a little more cautious

Great fight. Gamboas reckless fighting and his weak chin let him down.Everytime Gamboa got reckless Crawford hurt him. Gamboa just wide open getting hit by big clean shots and he just couldn't take those shots from Crawford.

Good heart Gamboa , but this is boxing : you hit and not get hit back .
Go back to 126 or 130 and things will get better for you as your punches on this weight are not damaging as they used to be .

Oh my b and by the way it's ashame that boxing is all politics because If anything Crawford vs Dallas would be a great fight at 140! And Dallas probably could beat Crawford

I got tc btw

and the Gamboa hype train is DONE, CRUSHED!

That was some serious asss whoopin! Totally owned!

Sometimes fights that are expected to be chess matches turn into wars and this fight exceeded expectations! Crawford added excitement to his game to complete himself as a top fighter. Gamboa just needs more training discipline to get down to 130 where he would be more successful but he also needs to learn how to be more cognizant of his defense and not bull rush. He bull rushes when he is not confident of getting past the reach of his opponent with a more natural movement to the inside due to his lack of reach.

I knew this was going to happen chimboa always starts off good but gets sloppy as the fight goes on I knew a fighter like Crawford and even mikey Garcia would pick this up and here are the results.
