    Usually these forums are filled with trash talk and endless b itching about an undeserved decision or bad performance. ..This fight tonight was UNREAL fight of the year! Two skilled guys with heart and balls put on a real fight tonight that Crawford happened to win. Great performance by both no shame in losing to Terence Crawford.

    Its cool to see a small place like Nebraska host a title fight Crawford is sorta like they're sports franchise it was a nice atmosphere

    But back to the point Gamboa and Crawford both deserve credit Gamboa did not back down and went out on his shield I think he should move down in weight though not sure if he will be the same after this fight though

    high caliber boxers is my thing. good fight from good boxers. i think the layoff and moving to 135 to tc was to much for boa. but boa was doing his thing though but tc was smart and patient. i cant complain bout the fight.

    High speed chess early and midway it became a War, both guys are highly skilled Warriors.

    Great fight. So glad to see someone going out on their shield rather than trying to survive and not doing anything and just losing the fight by a wide UD.

    Always liked Gamboa, showed the heart of a champion and then some. I think this weight was too much for him, most of his best shots didn't have the effect on Crawford that they had on smaller fighters. He should probably move down to 130, beatings like that shorten careers. Also, his cornermen should realize they are there to protect the fighter. Toward the end I was fearing for Gamboa's health. Great win for Crawford though, looks like he has a great future
