    Feel bad for Gamboa, technically better and way more talented than Crawford, was outboxing and outpunching crawford, but every fight gamboa drops his hands and waves his chin out soo frustrating knowing he had the tools to win but falls into old bad habits

    Crawford did what he had to do tho, used his size and took advantage of gamboa when gamboa threw combos with his chin open,

    Gamboa had the better skills and power footwork and is quite elusive on the outside when he's countering but always gets dragged into the brawl his instincts take over, its a shame tbh

    Even if Gamboa had stayed disciplined, its hard for me to not see Crawford take over the 2nd half of the fight. It is just Gamboas way to become unglued, and he would start to get walked down and lose rounds, imo. Which would have lead to a close decision victory for Crawford.


    Gamboa probably knew he wasnt going to win a decision and decided to go for broke. Kill or be killed. And hes the one that got stuck tonight.

    Someone like paddy barnes who when he throws combos keeps his guard so tight, that's all gamboa had to do to win, he's been down a lot in his career now not the best chin ofcourse but he was never out cold and always gets up

    He didn't outbox Crawford. Did you guys go to the Weisfeld school of judging or something ? Two weeks in a row that he's had a horrible score card. Neither Crawford or Gamboa did much early rounds except the welt growing on Gamboas cheek.

    Yep that's really wat happened I think gamboa really wanted to stop crawford he was in control had the first five rounds I think and another one I can't remember, he has gud cuban skills good technique on his shots but doesn't have the cuban style of the other fighters

    Hell no boa was outboxing crawford in the early round, the commentators had him 4 rounds on the spin easily
