Crawford is ready for Gamboa and here's why, the only thing that Gamboa brings to the table that Crawford hasn't been exposed to is speed and that will be negated because Crawford fights tall and has good speed himself. He has an excellent chin and good power. He is versatile in his offense and defense. He has a cool head in the ring and he does adjust. Gamboa can be hit and was dropped in one of his last two fights. Crawford can't be rattled by Gamboa and has no fear of him. Gamboa will be hard pressed to win a fight against Crawford.
At some point Gamboa needs to step up and fight a name opponent. Crawford's as close as he's going to get right now. Unless that it is he drops back down to 130 and fights Garcia.
