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

[MDPopescu]

It's true, but damn does Gamboa have a set on him to sit in and exchange with Crawford like that. Can't help but admire it, even if that attitude got him stopped.

It was not the "attitude" that got him stopped, it was the fact that he didn't move his head.

At 126 Gamboa vs Crawford looks like rds 1-4

He still had you on ***** street that 9th rnd

And how many times did Terence put Gamboa on ***** street? Damn, those couple of steps must be hard to get back to his corner after almost got knock down again. ( the round he dropped Gamboa first). Hats off to Gamboa, he really have a heart of a champion. He could have just lay there and wait til the ref count him out, but he didn't.

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

Yup because he just validated everything I said last night Gamboa is a 130 pounder at best!

[bimhead]

thats how he was able to drop gamboa in the first place, it was his strategy to open up and take the risk of walking through his punches

that kind of "stategy" can get you k.o'ed too

It might be a good career move for Gamboa to drop 5 lbs, take one tune-up fight, and then challenge one of these guys for a jr. lightweight belt. If boxing politics and his personal pride will allow it...

1. Takashi Uchiyama (21-0-1, 17 KO, WBA, 8 Defenses)
2. Mikey Garcia (34-0, 28 KO, WBO, 1 Defense)
3. Takashi Miura (27-2-2, 20 KO, WBC, 2 Defenses)
4. Argenis Mendez (21-2-1, 11 KO, IBF, 2 Defenses)

Except for maybe Garcia (who's probably moving up anyway) he should be able to rattle any of their cages. Gamboa is too good a fighter to not at least hold one of these alphabet belts.

I like crawfords honesty. Definitely a fan of him. Goes to England to take burns title then defends it against a guy like gamboa for his 1st defense.

Until Crawford switches lefty and clips him with a check hook while Gamboa is overextending and pulling straight back with his hands down like he always does.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Yep, some honesty from Crawford.

Gamboa was tiny in comparison, but he put forward a hell of an effort. He was Winning the boxing match, showing his speed and class but got too wild and the bigger man took advantage. Then we got to see the dog in Yuri, he stood in there and gave everything he had, to a fault.

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 .
