Gamboa's been training. It's not the same as fighting, but Yuri's been active. I believe Gamboa is currently in his physical prime. He wasted one valuable year, but Yuri's still capable of doing good things with his career. With Ponce De Leon, Gamboa showed another facet to his game. He's not just the hyper-aggressive dynamo many of us love to watch. Yuri can beat you in other ways. He's one of the few truly special fighters in the sport today.
