    I probably sound like a dick but I'm actually a little upset tbh I don't want to see Gamboa being subjected to such ******ed pro rules. Too much leeway in the pros. Gamboa is a great fighter and this fight makes a mockery of this.

    This fight has people thinking Crawford is better than Gamboa as a fighter, that simply couldn't be further from the truth.

    Max Kellerman asked Gamboa if it was his most difficult opponent. Do one, Max. The most difficult opponent is clearly Alexey Tishchenko

    you mean he kept eating flush shots from a small inactive 135lber and only ate them because he was much larger

    the first 4 rounds said everything I needed to know about Crawford. He was schooled and outclassed. This isn't a discussion.;

    Of course Gamboa fighting stupid had nothing to do with it.

    This would be the excuse between two legends when/if they fight. Very similar here.

    Crawford won because of his patience, timing, and adjustments.

    EXACTLY how I saw the fight. Gamboa was tagging him easily but couldn't hurt him. I said this is not good for Gamboa, he's doing his thing but is not bothering Crawford, who looked gigantic. Once Crawford landed that shot and it hurt Gamboa so easily, I said it was over. Add to that Gamboa refused to hold on. Crawford got hurt bad by a small guy. If you think this is how it's going to play out vs a banger a 140 then you are all in for shock.

    Crawford didn't lose the first four rounds to Gamboa. It was 2-2 on my score card. What fight were you guys watching?

    Ricky Burns had 2 inches on him and he schooled him too.

    I think it's beyond stupid to say it's the only reason he won. I'm about the same height as Crawford, if I made the weight does that mean I'd automatically beat Gamboa too? If it's that easy I should give this boxing thing a bash.

    The fully paid up members of the "he's Cuban, so he's infallibly brilliant and utterly faultless" fan club are having a meltdown tonight, it seems.

    crawford was just the larger man with a longer reach tonight, it's as simple as that. you're in denail if you think otherwise.

    he was outclassed in the first 4 rounds and the only reason he was still standing was because of his size.

    Yea I think Crawford is good but is not ready for 140. He should take a soft touch at that weight first, sometime in the near future.

    Don't forget Prescott who was much larger than Crawford.

    you're ****ing nuts and need to watch the first four rounds again.

    gamboa won those rounds with ease. and that "exchange" at the end of the fourst resulted in crawford getting smacked by 3 right hands.

    there's not a CHANCE crawford won those rounds. NONE.

    Do you know a banger at 140 that is fast as Gamboa? Don't forget that Crawford fought Prescott at his first fight at 140 and took him apart.

    Rubbish! Gamboa got caught everytime he tried to trade and got knocked down and KTFO as a result.
