    Hadn't really seen others overrate his power.

      I don't think so. The knockdown against Farenas was spectacular, but Gamboa was not badly hurt. If I remember correctly he was on steady legs when he got up. Crawford made Gamboa do a dance, and the Cuban had no legs for the rest of the round.

        Gamboa was the a-side name he needed. Crawford vs any body else at 35(outside of Garcia) wouldn't have done half the crowd I bet (I'm not hating)

        Moving forward Crawford is now the A-side

          The 11k people there never heard of Gambia. There were there for one reason only

            Yeah he was badly hurt. He couldn't even go balls out like yesterday, he was lunging at Mike to try to hold onto him

              That's how it is on here! Next, they will be discussing him fighting GGG or Kovalev.

                It was a fight between a future jr welterweight and a future jr lightweight. Don't wanna sound bitter but the size difference was a big key.

                  Bro just be honest. You're a lil upset because of the certain few who believe that a very good Crawford can actually beat 2 of the better welterweights in Thurman and or Porter. Don't let that bother you because while he may be a better talent pfp those 2 undress him rather soundly in a welterweight fight.
                  I don't agree,in terms of experience Crawford is more experience then both of them..

                  To answer the thread tho,I have not seen anyone overrate Crawford's power..I believe he has good power more so cause he is a very accurate puncher..BTW I'd give Crawford(when he get's his weight up)a good shot at beating Porter and Thurman..He has more skill then both imo,I do believe that Thurman and Porter are more talented and gifted so to speak..

                    I'm not even sure what you mean. You don't agree with what?? And what does "experience" have to do with what I said??

                      Of coarse but a fight against somebody else wouldn't have done 11k even at home IMO. I could be wrong though. All people need to do is figure out who Gamboa is after they find out Crawford is fighting at home and sales go up a lot I'd think. Again, I could be wrong though.

                      Do you think HBO would have rolled out the red carpet for Crawford if it was against anybody else? Crawford needed Gamboa to make that event big. Crawford has almost always been the b-side/underdog going into his fights.

                      All say this, he's no longer a b-side anymore though
