I can't pick a winner. If I had to pick I would pick Garcia by KO because of his quick deadly left hook. Gamboa hurt Crawford and he is more of a 126 or 130 pounder. Garcia is a full 140 pounder. Crawford might be able to use his reach and skills to win on points.
Terence Crawford vs. Mikey Garcia.

Is he really? Damn i thought the highest he ever fought was 130, how long has he been fighting at 140?Comment

I think Mikey might be a little more completr as a fighter with his skills, patience and power BUT I don't think he has the chin Crawford has (though that could be a size diff advantage as opposed to a really good chin).
Toss up for me but it's hard to envision a non-pressure fighter putting a whooping on Garcia right nowComment

I go with Crawford because I've seen Garcia hit consistently with right hands against Jonathan Barros, not to mention being dropped by Martinez and he struggled against a club fighter where he received a gift decision which was either the Navarette or Estrada fight. Crawford has not shown any major flaws and is bigger, rangier, master of accuracy.Last edited by richardt; 06-30-2014, 09:08 PM.Comment

Crawford. You can't take Gamboa vs Crawford into account as a measuring stick for Crawford vs Mikey seeing as how Gamboa actually risked in order to open Crawford up… something Mikey won't do. Gamboa was able to land and be successful in the early rounds due to his speed and footwork as well as his courage to kamikaze into Crawford while Mikey would most likely try to box, shooting off from a disadvantaging range. Activity is another issue I can see for Mikey seeing as he is a methodical boxer and tends to breakdown fighters with lesser skill than him but he might not be as successful against boxers with equal skill. Crawford on the other hand is skilled, patient and poised as well, has good power at 135 and can box on both stances. I think Crawford outpoints him in a tactical match up with slow action but tons of strategy and skill.
Fans will boo, some will doze off and others would hail it as one of the greatest "chess matches" of all time just to gain cookie points as boxing purists.Comment
