Rewatching. Crawford vs Gamboa

It was Crawfords breakout performance and his introduction to the world class level

It was a great atmosphere and an entertaining fight

But I think people went a bit crazy praising Crawford as much as they did. His size was a very big factor in how the fight played out imo.

He's a talented fighter, but i think Beltran will be his first real test. Burns was shot

That was a great fight. High level of skill on both sides, and they went at it.

It was a damn good fight but I don't get why they were trying to hype Crawford like "OMG a star is born!" I( don't think casuals got the memo. And while Crawford is good...is he really that good? I don't know.

Co-sign this post. I think he beats Beltran though.

Also, I saw Gamboa in a music video earlier today. Paloma and Snezz or someone

I don't see it with Crawford, almost every fight of his that I've seen he looks indecisive, like he doesn't know what approach he wants to take. Then his punching technique is inconsistent, it gets sloppy at times.

Gamboa's a G

This can not be denied

I agree. I like Crawford, and I have been giving him much praise, because I think he is very talented. But Gamboa should not have been fighting at 135. I think he beats Beltran, but I hope people don't think it's going to be like the Gamboa fight.

I like both fighters, Gamboa was having a good 4 rounds then Crawford caught him with something and he started to slug it out which isn't wise for Gamboa, but that's who he is.

Crawfords size advantage did play a huge difference in that fight, Beltran Crawford is going to be a FOTY candidate for sure.
