Comments Thread For: A Star is Born in Omaha, Crawford's Status Shoots Up

False. Andre Ward can't sell out in the Bay Area, and generally the Bay Area is really behind their sportsmen. Not to mention hes also a Gold Medalist and possibly one of the best.. but that might just be because he's not exciting enough, too good, too boring for casuals.

He did 7,500/$700,000 against Dawson. That's not bad at all.

Ah I guess, if Ward just happened to be a KO artist he would be selling Oracle out easily.

They could at least trying getting maybe Ward/Guerrero/Donaire on a card since they're living in the Bay Area. Well not so much Guerrero.. those dudes down in Gilroy etc just cling onto the Bay Area.. their city doesn't touch the Bay's water. So it could be a nice event for NorCal..

I tip my hat to Crawford, he showed some true grit in there tonight. Def champion worthy.

Crawford is good but it showed that he cant take a solid punch. Bigger, stronger fighters at the higher weight class, 147 lbs, like thurman, will put him to sleep. I give him props, but not that much cuz even though gamboa is good he has absolutely zero defense.

[PunchyPotorff]

The way smaller Gamboa wobbled him. I wouldn't call him a 'star' just yet. Gamboa really had no biz in there with someone that much bigger than him anyway. When the size factor is equaled out, I think we'll find Crawford meeting some serious brick walls he can't get over. He had several flaws in his game last night. Let a full 40-47 fighter clock him, then we'll see how things go. In that scenario, I'm guessing he gets stopped or dropped at least.

Crawford showed that he has a lot of dimensions in there. He adjusted and went for it. He showed a lot of good things in the ring. I was even more impressed with him this time around

TR's Jr. Welterweight division is gaining steam with Postol, Algeri, and the possible inclusion of Crawford, Pacquiao and Mikey Garcia. I don't think Crawford is ready for 147 just yet. He got rocked a bit by a smaller fighter in Gamboa, and I think if that was Ruslan, Manny, or Marquez, he would've been stopped. Still, he looked good, switched stances, and outboxed Gamboa. Big PROPS for Crawford! Looking forward to his next fight. He earned a big payday!

And you have to realize Cali produces fighter after fighter. Omaha has Crawford and that's it. Similiar to how Devon used to pack houses in St. Louis.

[Divine Hammer]

terence showed the heart of a true champion.

i think he'll be much stronger and sharper at 140 since he won't be badly draining himself.

[London]

I like him. Fighters heart and solid attitude.

But please dump the shirtless douche behind him. That posse had some major douche/leeches vibe.

LOL..yeah that's a rapper called Lil Webbie, don't know what he was doing shirtless in an arena when he wasn't one of the boxers in the ring, idiot.

It was so cool with the crowd behind him, Americans need to support their own fighter regardless of color.
