Gamboa is a little guy, past his prime and look what he did to Crawford

    I understand all that. the only point im making is Lartey was a light hitter who caught and hurt Spence pretty badly with a punch that wasnt exactly a bomb. Of course you can get hurt with short solid shots that may be much harder than they look but come on man. Lartey? On top of that his team has kept him away from anyone whos a big puncher and Brook buzzed him several times in their fight. All im saying is this makes me question his chin a bit. I dont think he has a glass jaw but its something that could be a sign of bad things to come.

    You have a penchant for confrontation, don't you? I have said multiple times this is a pick 'em fight, but I give the edge to Spence. I'm not badmouthing TC. He is a very good fighter. Yet untested, though, in my opinion.

    That punch gets overrated as far as it's effect, and only landed because Bud was arrogant enough to be lazy with his defense for most of the fight.

    Gamboa landed the shot of his life and Bud stumbled and took 4 steps back.

    Yeah Spence is bigger, better, and hits harder than Gamboa. This Bud is bigger and better than that version, too.

    You do know what invincible means, right? OK, so we are saying the same thing.

    As a Golovkin fan, all you can do is imagine things. When you turn to reality, you have Golovkin against bums.

    https://imgur.com/gallery/PSKt9 My breakdown of their fight. Say what you want Gamboa being short and small, but he's very fast with good power. He's got some heart too.

    No doubt. At one point Gamboa was possibly the best in the world for his division. By the time Crawford fought him, though, he was well past his prime and had taken too many shots. He could no longer take shots to the head.

    This was the reason Horn was supposed to beat Crawford . . .

    as strong as bud looked vs horn, and as heavy as his walking around weight is, suggest that bud was boiling down to a weakened state, down at 135.
    horn wasnt equipped to seriously test buds chin, that wont happen till he gets in with garcia, thurman or spence.

    "I'm not bad mouthing TC." Did you actually read the title you posted? At least admit that you wanted to "prove" something and another video of Spence "getting hurt" does not fit your agenda. And by the way 45 seconds after Crawford was "rocked" he had Gamboa down twice more. The last one sent Gamboa up and back about 5 feet. Let's show THAT footage
