    Saw it for the first time recently. Great fight!

    I thought it was definitely a case of good big man beats good little man and Yuri has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. He was dangerous right up til' the end and his macho is beyond question.

    Cong**** to both men!

      Crawford wins a safe boring 12 round decision over Beltran.

      If Crawford tries to trade with Beltran and throws his boxing out the window, I see Crawford getting hurt multiple times and losing. Beltran is no small Gamboa

        Gamboa was a KO waiting to happen

          I was very pleased with how my guy performed. He was outboxing Crawford rather easily early and looked very good despite being tiny at the weight.

          I believe size and recklessness beat him, but that's not an excuse as it was Yuri's decision to go up and challenge the best. He lost, but went out firing and showed a ton of heart.

          As a Yuri fan, I took from it that Gamboa is good enough to jump a few divisions, fight the best and still look good. Good big guy beat a very good small guy.

            Definitely a case of size being too much. Gamboa did pretty damn well, considering.

              That sure was some crowd. Great fight. Tell Crawford to pick on someone his own size. That was my first impression. Gamboa made a fan of me, that night. Dude is sick with it. Nice with those. Just got clocked and rocked by the naturally bigger man.

                gamboa gave it away, fought like a moron after getting check hooked

                when he could have simply just outboxed the guy, but i suppose it's just a flaw of his
