    It's funny. Everyone in here thinks everyone at 130 or 135 makes adjustments like Crawford, and has his same chin. Now all of a sudden everyone knocks out Gamboa. lmao.
    This. Crawford can adjust, Broner can't.

      Let's be real, at 135 I think even Broner could rock Gamboa if he lands. Didn't Maidana even give Broner's power some props?

          I think they're close with handspeed. Broner's foot speed is definitely slower.

          Broner thinks his reflexes and ( second rate ) shoulder roll defense are top-shelf. I dont think he's ever fought anyone as fast as Gamboa.

            Broner would walk him down and stop him, Gamboa has no business at 135, especially against these big dudes like Crawford and Broner.

              Gamboa.

              Both guys can be dropped, but I reckon Gamboa is technically better, faster and more accurate. I think he would have schooled Broner.

                Good match-up.

                Styles would make it an exciting fight.

                Power wise I'd give an edge to Gamboa, but Broner is a better combination puncher.

                Gamboa on decision, based on 1) Work rate 2) power shots landed.

                I'd have paid for this fight.

                  You people are insane. Broner is a good sized 135-140 lber and Gamboa is a little guy in that division. The difference in size would be noticeable and if Broner can take Maidana's relentless punishment, what makes you think he can't take Gamboa's? Broner is also the much younger guy so that will also serve as an advantage.

                    Agreed, people seem to forget that gamboa can't jab .. And that chin follows him .. I see broner unfortunately taking this one ..

                      Well put , gamboa most likely wouldn't hurt him and would get check hooked a lot .. Broners chin > gamboa chin
