Comments Thread For: Gamboa Confident He Will Beat Crawford, Eyes Garcia

[PopPop]

Crawford wins ,I see Boa holding after the fourth round gassing after the third ,drop by the fifth and possible stop by the seventh. This guy had Arum lower the ticket prices so his hometown people can watch him fight ,he's not losing.

garcia ducked gamboa once and i'm sure he will do it again.

Gamboa decimates Crawford
Lara decimates Canelo
Rigondeaux decimates all

I hope you're right about that.

The problem I have picking Crawford is just that.
These Cubans have seen guys like Crawford - Bigger, technical guys all the time in the amateurs. They know them inside out.
Is Perez really a million miles apart from Crawford? Not saying he is as good but size, stylistically I don't think hes too far away.

Crawford is a good kid but you can bet your life he hasn't seen anybody with the speed, angles, combination punching, counterpunching ability of the smaller Gamboa. In the gym, in the amateurs or pros he ain't seen a Gamboa.

Is ringrust something to worry about? You have to bare in mind that Crawford is a slow starter! He feels guys out for 2 rounds before he picks it up.

I've not followed much of Gamboas amateur career that much but I can't recall him ever facing someone quite like Crawford well at least in the pro game I can't think of anyone.

How is he going to cope with a bigger guy who is going to want to fight on the outside most of the fight?
Gamboa looks like a little bull he is constantly rushing down his opponents I'm just not sure how good he is at cutting off the ring, if Gamboa can neutralize Terence's jab this fight might not last long for TC.

Ring rust will likely be a bit of an issue thus why I think Terence should start off very quick.

I'm always 100% in support of my fellows Cubans, but this time Yuri is too small for this guy. I still think Yuri has the tools to win and I hope he will, but not completely confident by the diference

Crawford is skilled enough himself that size will be a factor here. Crawford is really a LWW and Gamboa a featherweight. Also Gamboa is more freak athlete than skilled boxer.

With Gamboa I feel like he and his management has both ****ed his career up. He should be a star in the sport.

Tough fight for Gamboa , but he is right . Gamboa has faced Crawford style in Cuba , and has beaten them . In Cubans boxing school , technically sound fighters are everywhere . But Gamboa will fight at 135 , which I don't think is his weight class and this could be a factor , Gamboa has not looked the same as he did while fighting at 126 , and remember that he won his gold at the olimpics at 112 .
On the other hand , Crawford has not face anyone as Gamboa , speed , power , heart , this could be a factor . And if you watch him fight Ricky burns , then Crawford is not invincible .
This is. 50 50 fight , whoever comes better prepared , will win , although weight , size , home advantage , and promotion , top rank , will be in craw fords favor .
Going with Gamboa the 28th , Bartelemi , July the 10th , Lara , July the 12 th , and rigondeaux , July the 19 th ..... Hit and not get hit .

Definitely Gamboa is more explosive, and athletic than Crawfor, but Crawford's D is very good plus he is just as fast plus the hight, but will see.....WAAAARRRR Gamboa!!!! even though I think Crawford takes it do to inactivity and rust on Gamby's part.
