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.
