    Big Gamboa fan here, but I honestly don't know what he has to offer today. Going from being as inactive as he has been then straight to Crawford (who I rate) is going to be tough. If Gamboa hasn't lost anything he'll win a UD but if I was forced to bet on it right now I'd lean towards Crawford UD. Still a great fight, I just wish that Gamboa had been fighting regularly.

    I understand that, and I know crawford is from there just still sounds weird the idea of an important fight in nebraska. Not the place you think of a boxing match taking place

    Well, you have to actually, you know... Fight a champion or two on the way there. Gamboa should take any title shot he can get at this point. He has to.

    This is a great fight for the fans. Quality matchup.:hey:thumbsup

    Agree... But Gamboa is the "opponent" for a budding star here Gamboa is now the "B-side"

    I hope it happens, but I'm curious if it can get made given Gamboa's inflated purse demands of late.
