    Southpaw
    Orthodox
    Smaller dude, but larger height
    Boxed him from the outside...all knockdowns from the inside.

    Crawford tapped that gold medal ass HARD. What more could he do to make a statement

    SO Gamboa beatting guys at the lower weight where he was bigger is OK but when he stepped up in weight class it isn't Ok that his opponent is bigger then him?

    TC actually showed pretty good D from the 4th round on, though. His jab was on point, too...and he showed some passion in trying to finish, rather than simply cruise to a decision. He's not all that offensively, but there was a lot to like about his performance.

    Gamboa is not a lightweight, he is a featherweight. His career was wasted, he needs a good trainer......................

    If Crawford goes to 140 he will have some problems, if the small midget Gamboa can hurt him, what would a good 140/147 lbs. fighter do? Crawford should come up to 160 and fight Golovkin, or, at least fight Alvarez............

    Lomachenko should come up to 147 and fight Floyd. He'd get embarrassed :lol:

    Crawford's jab was spot on in this fight. He looked like a southpaw version of B-Hop out there tonight. Broner vs Crawford would be a good fight. But IMO Broner takes it but Crawford would make Broner look like **** at times.

    Don't recall anyone giving broner sympathy for losing after moving up two divisions and losing. Anyway, bottom line is he lost to the better guy. Being an accomplished amateur he should have no problem dealing with bigger guys. He's already competed at this weight and won fights. No excuses

    it wasnt spot on. he was getting counter in the first 4 rounds. only until gamboa got tired and lazy did it start to land. also, keep note the size and height diffrence.

    its the case of the good big man beating the little good man. good big man will beat a good little man 9 out 10. i think the yr layoff hurt gamboa the most but you dont take a yr off then fight a fighter like crawford and moving up in weight. cmon on son and in tc backyard come on son again. to much for gamboa to overcome but hell he was going good the 1st 4 rds i thought it was going to be shut out. i thought the fight was 50/50 but gave the edge to tc becasue i thought maybe some home cooking wa going to be served after 12.
