blackrican23 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 LAS VEGAS — A deal has been reached, in principle, to match RING No. 3-rated lightweight Terence Crawford in a defense of his WBO belt opposite Yuriorkis Gamboa on either June 28 or July 12 in Crawford's hometown of Omaha, Neb., Top Rank CEO Bob Arum confirmed on Friday.The 26-year-old Crawford (23-0, 16 knockouts), was last in the ring for a dominant, title-winning decision over Ricky Burns in Glasgow, Scotland in March.A former Olympic gold medalist for Cuba, Gamboa (23-0, 16 KOs) was last in action for a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Darlys Perez in June.The title fight will be the first in Omaha since heavyweight champion Joe Frazier beat Ron Stander in 1972, according to the Associated Press. http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/336685-terence-crawford-yuriorkis-gamboa-in-omaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIM Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'd normally be representing Gamboa, but he has been out the game so long I am not too sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo2 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Crawford impressed me against Burns but Gamboa will offer stiffer competition and unlike G I will go out on a limb and say he will Kick Terences Ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
