yuri doesnt have the best defense but omars is terrible lol. gamboa via ko

[New England]

figueroa's chin looks good. gamboa's the classier boxer, but the defense is leaky when he falls asleep.


maybe this is just wishful thinking, but i think figueroa takes him out if he's patient and his hands hold up. he's bigger, probably hits harder, and it hink he's got the better chin. gamboa would land big shots, but his lapses would facilitate figueroa's comeback. late round knockout in a great fight.


lesser punchers than figueroa have badly shaken gamboa. i think gamboa is prime for the taking right now, given the layoff, jump in weight, ped baggage.

Gamboa blows him out. Figueroa was getting clocked repeatly by the Japanese warrior with no power.

omar by ko.Sorry but gamboa power not there at 135,And his chin is
bad.Seems like gamboa on the decline fast.

[El Angel]

Gamboa via KO.

Gamboa easily. Figueroa showed that he still has balance issues, defence issues, and other mistakes that newer guys make during the Arakawa fight. Gamboa's got the experience over this kid by a mile.

A Figueroa 5 years from now, versus today's Gamboa, now that's an interesting toss up.
