Round 5:

Gamboa has a welt opening up on the right eye. Crawford staggers Gamboa with a right hand and then drops him with the left. We have our first knockdown of the fight. Crawford then goes on an onslaught, tagging Gamboa even more and nearly knocking him down again, but Gamboa gets saved by the bell. He might be out, though.

Round 6:

Crawford keeps switching from right-handed to southpaw, but it’s working. Gamboa looks shaky, but he’s able to protect himself well enough to not hit the canvas again. He gets through this one, giving himself a little more time to regroup.

Round 7: Gamboa looks like he’s got his legs back now. He’s slipping all over the place, but it’s his own corner’s fault because they’re dousing him with water in between rounds for some reason. He’s getting distracted as he keeps looking down. And of course, he looks down and Crawford pops him with a right. In contrast to the first few rounds, Gamboa looks like he’s going through the motions.

Round 8: After little action, Gamboa tries to get aggressive again, but Crawford immediately drops him again for the second knockdown of the bout. Right before the bell hits, Crawford blasts him with a right one more time.

Round 9:

Crawford lands a solid uppercut right after the round begins. Crawford’s legs are starting to look a bit wobbly, he might have gotten caught quickly by Gamboa when he was switching positions. Crawford drops him one more time with a stiff left. He drops him again, and that’s it, it’s over. Terence Crawford stops Yoriurkis Gamboa in the 9th round.

Winner: Terence Crawford via KO
