Bank on it. His b.s. amateurish style is not going to pay dividends against a bigger, talented fighter like Crawford. Crawford is the best fighter Yuri has faced, and it is going to show tomorrow night. Five inch reach advantage all night long. Will work behind the jab and Yuri will be in survival mode from the early onset.
You think 50 will treat the people of Omaha to one of his cute little rap songs when Gamboa walks to the ring?
No, it really won't. If Gamboa tries to press the issue by coming forward, he will just get countered and put on his ass.
This is just a set-up fight for the house boxer. Gamboa will need a knockout to get a draw........................home town decision...............
Crawford is not bigger, he is taller. If anyone is going to be the bigger fighter in the ring then it´s likely Gamboa. He is a big big Lightweight. Crawford is also not the boxer-puncher he is made out or hyped up to be. Gamboa has defensive lapses, an average chin and has been inactive for years now. It will be competitive and anyone who picks Gamboa has the right reasons to do so.
You have a point but he also took his last two opponents lightly. It was visible in his performances.
