    I'm saying this right now, Crawford is about to beat the brakes off Gamboa. Too much height, too much skill and too much power. Fighting in Omaha. OOOwee, showcase time. I'm thinking knockout. Anybody thinks different and why.

    Gamboa is dangerous but I definitely favour Crawford, probably by wide decision.

    I agree 100% and lets also remember Crawford showed he can fight at 140 to, while Gamboa is struggling with nobodies.

    Yeah, I think that Crawford will be a little too much for Gamboa. If Crawford shines like I think he will, then I would like to see him move up and go after Peterson, Alvarado, or Marquez. Ruslan will hurt him right now but later it might be the fight to see. Boxer puncher against an aggressive and intelligent slugger. Just speculating.

    I would normally agree but gamboa s career has been put on hold for to long. It's time for him to **** or get off the pot.

    Gamboa is too small and Crawford is arguably a good as he is. Crawford knocks him out hard.

    hate it when idiots talk about skill but have no idea what skill really is because they've never fought, crawford is not as good as gamboa technically and has inferior skills, but this will be hard for gamboa because of his height and inactivity, he should win tho! i'd put my money on him

    You'd have to favor Crawford but i wouldn't write off Gamboa a man with his talent should never be counted out i'm just glas Gamboa is fighting again after such long layoffs. Credit to Crawford he's shown real balls of late going to Bruns hometown and now taking Gamoba as a first defense great fight can't wait for it.

    :goodGood post.

    Gamboa is leagues above Crawford.....borderline elite.

    Too bad we didnt see him chasing the Broner fight at 135.

    Well, this is the next best thing.

    Crawford will win some early rds with his speed, but Yoriokis will catch up to him around the 4th and start finding the distance for his combination punching.

    Gamboa TKO10:thumbsup

    I actually think Crawford is as if not more skilled than Gamboa. Yuri is fast but timing beats speed...

    Very, very interesting fight. I think highly of Crawford, but he's got to be very, very careful with Gamboa. Just because we haven't heard much from him lately, he's not the kind of fighter to write off because of it.

    I think Gamboa knows this is his last big break, and Crawford's going to have to be on his A-game to win.

    I'm really looking forward to how this turns out.
