Crawford toughest fight to date is Gamboa

That fight was a lot closer than the judges had it. Taylor finished the fight strong and stole it from Postol.

But during Crawford's days at 135, there was no one there. Same thing at 140. He unified the entire division with absolute ease. It's not his fault no one was on his level.
So he stepped up and boy oh boy! 147 is stacked!

I will be gutted if Crawford doesn't fight another titlist anytime soon.

 

Where was Mikey? He was at 135 why didn't he make the fight with Crawford? Funny the 140 lb division got much more crowded when Crawford left. Coincidence?

Well Gamboa was down in the 5th, 7th and twice in the 9th and Gamboa did not win a round on any card after the 4th. I was at the fight so believe me my view was better than your TV view. Crawford was not in "any more trouble" than normal boxers are in every fight. Gamboa was completely lifted off his feet by the last punch Crawford threw. As for Postol maybe you should actually see the judges cards and you will see Postol won ONE round and they weren't "close" rounds. Crawford controlled the pace and distance the entire match and Postol consistently punched where Crawford had been. If you thought either of those fights were close you can't spell boxing

 

Mikey was retired when Crawford did his thing at 135.

Supposedly Mikey and Crawford fought in the amateurs. This is why Mikey never talked about Crawford and only moved up when Crawford left the division.

 

There's no way the rounds in Crawford vs. Postol were close. I was there, expecting a good fight and seeing a complete whitewashing. Believe me, flight, hotel, tickets...I would have much rather seen close rounds.

Crawford dominated Postol in all facets. Probably could have finished him if he really wanted too, but was up so wide he took limited chances in the last couple rounds.

 

Who saw it as a tight fight? I saw a lot of media scorecards afterwards and not a one was close. As far as bias? You are clearly discrediting Crawford (and doing a horrible job of it). Show me some media members who scored it closely.

The gloves touching the ground is a knock down. Seen it before, will see it again. Crawford hit Postol in the face, Postol was hurt, he got off balance, and his gloves touched the ground. That's a knock down.

 

yes because gamboa had the handspeed to hit crawford.
