Terence Crawford successfully defended his WBO lightweight title last Saturday night against unbeaten Cuban Yuriorkis Gamboa. Terence Crawford won the fight by TKO round 9, but he was able to drop Gamboa 4 times during that fight.
Crawford was able to drop Gamboa 4
times, but it wasn't a one sided fight at all. Gamboa was much faster
and was able to dominate the fight in the first half even with his size
disadvantage. After 3 rounds me and most of the judges I believe had
Gamboa 30-27, but it looks like his chin is the weak spot.
I mean Gamboa was landing great power
shots right to the button many times, but it looked like Terence had no
problems with them. And after 3 poor rounds he changed the stance to
the southpaw and that's when the fight changed.
It looks like Gamboa is one of those
fighters who's body has some problems because of his amateur background.
All his life his body was prepared for the 3 rounds fight, and it looks
like he has some problems with his stamina and energy after 3 rounds.
If it was an amateur fight he had won it, as he looked great for the
first 3 rounds landing his overhands and hard shots to the body and
showing great defense, but it is a 12 rounder and you must be ready for
all 12....
The fight is much looked forward to with Amir Khan stepping in the ring after a long time. With or without cable, watch Amir Khan Vs Terence Crawford live online from anywhere!
