This is very unlike Arum but if it materializes, what a badass fight..
Some say Gamboa has too much experience for Crawford but i dont think so. Experience or not, Gamboa is tailor made for him..
Crawford beats him..
Thoughts?

I think Gamboa destroys him. I don't see what everybody else sees in Crawford. He's talented and can fight. But he ain't proven shit yet
I like this fight!!!
Crawford took some clean shots his last fight and didn't blink. On the other hand, Gamboa's chin is something like Khan.
Crawford by late stoppage, unless Gamboa runs for his life.
Crawford is literally the definition of how the boxing media and so called hardcore fans fall in love with Arum fighters. People really think Crawford is special but he would lose to Abril, Vazquez, Figueroa and yeah Gamboa.
What does it have to do with Arum fighters? Burns would lose to those people too, and he isn't Arum, Broner is GB, and he is literally the definition of overhyped. You argued GGG is overhyped and he also isn't Arum.Quote:

Gamboa has not gotten any better through the years, worse if anything. He has no concept of his distance with short arms in the lightweight division, and looks for the escape hatch after 2-3 punch combinations. He will not hurt Crawford without coming forward consistently. Gamboa will look sharp for the first couple rounds with his natural speed, but will fade and the crowd will boo with his lack of effort and unwillingness to take any risks.
Crawford wins via UD
This sounds quite likely to me. Gamboa isn't the same fighter at lightweight that he was a couple of weight divisions ago.Quote:

At this point claiming Ishida isn't a great win is called trolling, really sad stuff.Quote:

I've also read posts where Broner fans have legitimately picked Adrien Broner over legends, like, for example, Barny Ross. Many fans have stated that he will be the next boxer to carry boxing. So, absolutely, I've seen fans hyping Broner. No doubt about it. Now his performance against Paulie Malignaggi brought back a lot of people's opinions of him, but prior to that performance, he was hyped by fans, as much as any fighter out there.
Speaking of Arum fighters, one of his biggest cash cows, Chavez Jr. is very often maligned by most hard core fans. Let that resonate for a second.
GGG is NOT an Arum fighter. He is represented by k2. He is the current darling of the sport.
Another current fan favorite is Lucas Matthysse, who is as GB fighter. He is hyped as the next Manny Pacquiao, which is almost as ludicrous as the proclamation that Broner is the next Mayweather.
Hype spreads its web over GB and TR fighters equally.
Gamboa's never been stopped. And he's never been hurt on the level Khan's been hurt. It's ridiculous comparisonQuote:
