I mean, Inoue has become number 1 P4P off beating a guy of equal age. Because the old guy gave him hell. What if Gamboa gives Tank hell? He gave Crawford some major issues. Sure that was a long time ago but we could say “Donaire gave Rigo no issues at all, long ago”

I’m hoping for a good fight and Tank to move on to bigger things, it’s time if he has it in him.
Best case scenario Gamboa shows up and is capable of shocking the world. I think the Crawford fight gets a bit overstated as its not like he was ever in any serious jeopardy other than some showy shots being landed on a coasting Crawford who we'd see do nothing but dominate until then. Fairness to the build and Inoue fight they were making the best of a secondary situation, namely Tete pulling out of Donaire fight resulting in a basic pass but he also managed to bring a belt along for the fight. Right off Crawford fight Gamboa was being thrashed to a koby Castalleno.
