Gamboa appreciation thread.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Gamboa showed great skills and heart.. It was an exciting fight but crawfords size and skill was too much for yuri.. Gamboa needs to go back to 130.

I think he has a legit chance to beat mikey

he needs to go down to 130. crawford was just too big. even though yuri landed on him several times, it was crawford size IMO what won him the fight.

I have always been a fan of his even when the HBO crew would say he wasn't the same Gamboa. He took a lot of heat on here but every time he fought I tuned in. He's an exciting fighter to watch I hope Garcia vs Gamboa happens later this year. Gamboa needs to work with Pedro Diaz if he wants to get back in the limelight. Out of the three Cuban fighters that I like watching from Lara,Rigondeaux, and Gamboa my favorite is Yuri.

Absolutely ridiculous this fight.

The size difference was crazy but Gamboa pulled it out for the first rounds.

I think the turning point was body work but mainly the big exchange....he couldn't stay sharp & it zapped his legs.

Either fight smarter or drop division .

Respect!!

Gamboa was crazy for taking this fight, the guy thinks hes Pacquiao or something.

I knew Crawford had legit power at 135 and Gamboa had a very unlegit chin. The outcome was pretty obvious imo.

Do you know who Yoan Pablo Hernandez is he's exciting/vulnerable always in these type fights.

Gamboa does deserve praise for that effort maybe not the best strategy to stand and rumble as much as he did but he wanted that KO.

like roy jones said, "he's got heart, son"
