    He might have speed, but his style is basic. Gamboa will beat him down in his home town.

    I'm a little surprised he is the favorite.

    He is at home and on a good run but I thought Gam would have started the shorter price.

    I think you're overestimating Crawford's ability.

    I know Gamboa didn't have a great showing his last fight, but that guy was like a Pilipino Southpaw Margarito. He was big as hell, had great stamina, and could take a beating.

    That's a tough guy to go up against, especially on a Pacquaio undercard. That guy fought the fight of his life.


    Crawford is a stylist, but his style is basic.

    He'll give Gamboa time to work. He won't try to put the pressure on Gamboa to stop him, so it will allow Gamboa to creat his own opportunities.

    Remember, Gamboa is a former gold medalist. He's sharp, explosive and has power.

    A guy like Crawford doesn't have the talent to beat Gamboa.

    I would be shocked if Gamboa doesn't look sensational tonight. Crawford isn't ready for what's about to happen ...I THINK. :)

    You could be right gamboa is talented if he had been more active I'd probably pick him but he's been so inactive I can't do it.

    Crawford must survive the early rounds where gamboa will be blazing

    Basic Crawford is beating up Gamboa out of a southpaw stance and with well timed counters and body shots. If only he wasn't so basic.

    ****, I was wrong. Never seen him fight. Just seein him warm up, he looked basic.

    He didn't look like that in the ring.

    Lol.

    He has good defense and good power. He has a chin too. He'll be tough to beat.

    You can't win them all.

    **** it.

    You gotta give part of that to Gamboa's inactivity too, but I saw some of the same mistakes Gamboa makes, so I'm not sure if it would have made much of a difference.

    Crawford is good. Can't doubt what I see in the ring. Can't think of anyone that would beat him.

    He has a chin too.
