    NO, he didn't! Gamboa wasn't winning those rounds any more than Crawford was. All four rounds. YDKSAB.

    Riddle me this, how was it that Gamboa managed to win rounds two and three against this physically superior being?

    That's not the point. Presscott isn't on Gamboa level in terms of skill and athletism.

    because he's a better athlete and boxer.......

    crawford was just the bigger and taller boxer tonight with the longer jab. you're in complete denial about what you saw tonight.

    He won the fight though by TKO. And it's 'fourth' not 'fourst'

    Mentioning Prescott does NOT help your case.
    It wasn't just the speed of Gamboa, Gamboa was landing at will, even if they were combinations.

    This was clearly a case of size advantage taking control of the style matchup.

    What factor did Crawford's jab play in the fight? :think

    Here was me thinking that 'most every positive moment Crawford had came as the result of Gamboa not moving his head after throwing a combo and getting bombed on the chin with hooks and upper cuts.

    Crawford didn't win the fight by opening Gamboa up with jabs. He won the fight by taking what Gamboa had to throw and jumping on his mistakes with better, harder punches.

    Crawford won the fight because he hits harder and has a better chin. Not because of his jab or his reach.

    Yeah Gamboa did land on Crawford, but TO ME that says more about Gamboa's offense than Crawford's poor defense. Gamboa's is one quick mofo and he has brilliant timing. Why is it that no one previously has really clipped crawford if he has such a leaky defense. Think for one second instead of trying to **** on the winner, so transparent lol

    Somebody tell this moron, gamboa was doing great early on 4 rounds to 0 until Crawford caught gamboa with a hook and that change everything. Give Crawford his props. And stop with gamboa inactivity excuse because gamboa has won fights when he has been inactivity before.

    Size was a factor in how the fight played out, of course.


    But size didn't punch Gamboa in the face.

    Because you are pointing out height, size and reach as the reason Gamboa lost. He lost to the better fighter.....end of.
