Atlas picks Crawford to easily beat Gamboa tonight
By Dan Ambrose:
In what could be a big jinx, ESPN commentator Teddy Atlas made his prediction of tonight’s clash between WBO lightweight champion Terence Crawford (23-0, 16 KO’s) and Yuriorkis Gamboa (23-0, 16 KO’s) by picking Crawford to easily beat the 32-year-old Gamboa in their fight on HBO at the CenturyLink Center, in Omaha, Nebraska, USA.
“I like Terence Crawford. I like him to dominate,” Atlas said. “He’s the bigger guy; the naturally bigger guy, a natural lightweight. He’s good sized. Gamboa has been for the most part a featherweight. Gamboa hasn’t looked good in his last several fights. To me, there’s been a drop off in the performance of Gamboa. He just doesn’t look like the same confident fighter. He looks like a guy with an identity crisis. Read full Story...

50 Cent Talks Gamboa Vs. Crawford & Why Floyd Mayweather Won’t Work With Bob Arum
by Keith Nelson Jr (@JusAire)
June 28 has been a long time coming for 50 Cent. Ever since launching his boxing company, SMS Promotions, 50 Cent has tried to make the biggest fights for his most well-known commodity, Cuba’s Yuriorkis Gamboa. He’s failed twice at making fights with Top Rank’s Mikey Garcia, as the bouts fell through over purse split squabbles.
Finally, the persistence paid off with the emergence of Terence Crawford, who secured the biggest win of his career in March when he defeated Ricky Burns for the WBO lightweight title. A few years ago, Gamboa would have been a clear favorite. Now with inactivity (two fights in the last two years) and giving up size to a skilled counter-puncher, many are picking Crawford to hand Gamboa his first defeat on Saturday night’s HBO card.
Despite the odds, 50 Cent isn’t worried. In fact, he’s excited. For the G Unit mogul, Gamboa isn’t a fighter he promotes. He is 50’s lethal weapon of choice to legitimize SMS Promotions, and in turn shake up the boxing landscape. Read full Story...
