Terence Crawford vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa & Matvey Korobov vs. José Uzcátegui RBR

B O O M ! You probaby had Gamboa winning all the rounds like many idiots on this board. What fight were you newbs watching? It was clear Crawford was pacing this scrub. You wouldn't think Crawford was the favorite by all the idiots on this board, including you :rofl

 

No, Crawford is not the king of 135.
He wasn't the king back when Max Kellerman said he is the man at LW, and he's not the king after this win either. It was a good win for him.
Vazquez is still The Man at 135.
Ray Beltran would push Crawford to the edge.

 

It is more annoying to thank Haymon first

 

Probably. I think he underestimated Crawford. Must be an elitist thing? But then when the chips were down, Gamboa didn't have a backup plan.

 

gamboa had the skill to win the fight but not the brains. good show by crawford. surprised me. i didn't like the stoppage though. wait till gamboa gets up and see how he looks. crawford had been hurt himself not long before that.

 

That's what we know about Gamboa, though.

He blows his wad quick. Against a solid guy with stamina, especially up at LW as evident by Gamboa's Farenas/Perez fights, Gamboa's defense gets beyond leaky as the fight goes on and head/foot movement slows. And, unless you've been in denial, Gamboa has a poor chin given his reputation/rating and Crawford is good at picking his shots utilizing leverage.

 

Don't make me go dig up my prediction about this fight. I actually predicted Crawford by size for the victory the moment the fight was signed. It doesn't mean I'm bragging about it like you seemingly are, as if it was some big accomplishment to pick him over the guy moving up in weight, highly inactive, caught in a peds scandal and coming off three lackluster fights in a row.

 

Crawford has had the better wins, more impressive.

He is the best at 35, he would beat MV

 

I think he would have. He was throwing some serious bombs, laden with venom.

 

I thought it was fine. Let him stand up, sure. But 4 KD's? Those last 2 were hard and he was eating it hard those last few rounds.

 

I picked Crawford to win and the under

 

Crawford is better than Vazquez, I'll say that much. He's the guy people thought Broner was, only 1000 times more likeable. Gamboa will be back, he's too physically gifted not to, hopefully at a more suitable weight class.

 

I'm not saying he can't beat Vazquez or anybody else @135.
There's one good way to settle it, but they probably won't face each other, especially now that Vazquez signed with Haymon.
