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

[LouIE G]

He wasn't completely sure of anything because TC said himself he was hurt in the 9th and went into a shell many times in earlier rounds. He won that's all that matters but 2nd KD to me was a lucky punch landed cuz Gamboa thought he had TC hurt and TC throws a wild hook that lands while Gomboa stand staight up chin in air!

Theres no lucky punch in a prize fight! Marquez proved that.

People wondering how Crawford looks at 140 must be forgetting that he's already fought there; Prescott. I think that weight suits him better than 135 actually, although I'm still not fully sold on him fighting the best at 140.

Yea he has been there but Prescott is no Alvarado, Garcia, Provodnikov, Mattysee or even Lamont Peterson. 140 is still a deep division.

I can agree with that to an extent.. the ed interupted crawfords timing in the begining up to the point where crawford hit gamboa with the right hook, which was why he switched to orthodox after that kd... after that gamboa was open for the right hook and straight right from both stances... he is the definition of a switch hitter...crawford took advantage of gamboa's failure to recover completly...crawford has arrived!!

I can't say he's "arrived." He said he was going to 40. Does he eat the amount of shots he did tonight is that's Matthysse or Provo in there tonight?

you can't make comparisons using washed up fighters like Martinez who was obviously done before he even signed the contract the fight Cotto. In fact If you watched Martinez vs Murray he clearly lost that fight!

He did, but everyone on here exept me and a few others said cotto would win.. and he did!

The other side of that is: can Provo and Matthysse land that amount of shots?

Those guys are brawlers with little speed, Gamboa was landing because he has his smaller guy speed and also technique.

Are any of those fighters remotely close to being as explosive as Gamboa?
Which is why Crawford got hit, the answer is no, Crawford holds his own.

Even if you beat Matthysse of Ruslan, you're gonna have to take their shots and fight them back. I'd say those guys would have no problem landing on Crawford at some point.

Same question can be asked of lucas and provo, can they take crawfords shots?? Only way to find out is if they make the fights... all i know is crawford against any of 140's best are big fights that the boxing public would accept, i hope..

Great fight! Crawford has a great chin. I was wrong about how tough he is cause he is actually muc h tougher.

I was a huge fan of Gamboa before this fight. And now Im an even bigger fan. I very much appreciate his effort.

Keep your head up champ!

Very interested in their next step. 140lbs is looking mighty interesting. And Gamboa should consider 130lbs.
