Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Warned Gamboa; He's a 126/130-Pounder

Well it wasn't nor will it be. At 140 Pac beats Tyson. Duh.

You a ****** mother ****er!!

Lets see how crawford will do when he's the smaller man someday. He's tarnishing his victory

Gamboa has the power to knock him out so it was still a dangerous fight. He knows the fans are smart and knew about size advantage before the fight. It was obvious during the weigh in. Crawford also knows most people aren't going to take anything away from his win since he not only beat Gamboa but destroyed him. TC is a world champ and if I'm not mistaken he beat Mikey Garcia in the amateurs. Everyone knows Crawford is the real deal.

I think theres just some fighters that people just dont want to give them their due credit. Theres always something to nitpick, an excuse why the opposition they fought lost or wasnt credible, and they become armchair matchmakers and KNOW which fighters the fighter has no chance with in the ring. The kid is the real deal and im looking forward to seeing more of him.

he's being an honest guy, not getting big headed and taking too much credit for things

I understand that and find his honesty refreshing. I'm just thinking in terms of marketability.

At 126 Gamboa vs Crawford looks like rds 1-4

People who are saying Crawford didnt show anything, and was getting hit the first 4 rounds etc.. This was the best fighter hes ever fought. Gamboa was looking amazing in the early going with lightning speed, ofcourse its going to take him time to adjust and get used to what hes seeing, and once he did.. he went in for the kill. He gets full credit, talks of him being easily beaten against other 135 fighters or at 140 dont mean much, aside from last night, his best performance was at 140. Claiming he couldnt hang with the Rios, Mattys, Ruslans, Garcias at 140 is laughable.

Someone should have warned Crawford that this kind of comment is a good way of minimising your own win

ETF?

An honest boxer? Crawford just jumped in my favorite boxers list.

Crawford actually was amused when Yuri tried to exchange power shots as if they were evenly matched.

Amir, Broner, Floyd, Espinoza etc etc this is how its done. We are not ******. Respect the fans.

Isva honest and fair comment from crawford and the truth. If gamboa goes down he will be imbatible. I like crawford, but honestly he didnt showed too much. A natural 135 with the habilities of gamboa can easely win him. On the first 4 rounds crowford showed nothing to be impress until his natural advantages gave him an edge

I totally agree , Gamboa has not been the same since he left 126 .
His punches are not powerful anymore and his size also plays a factor but not excuses at all , he took the fight and lost .
Gamboa has to improve his defense too , he can not fight like that against bigger opponents . One thing he has is heart though , but you jab to hit and not get hit in order to win , brawling brings excitement for some but boxing is more than that .
Go back to 126 or maybe 130 , and improve your defense .
You gave your heart , but winnig takes more than that .
Arriva Cuba , ahora va Bartelemi el 10 de Julio , Lara el 12 , rigo el 19 and mike Perez el 26 . Hit and not get hit , can't hit what you don't see .
