Is Roger Gonzalez a test for Gamboa or should Gamboa walk right through him?

[daggum]

I stand corrected,I always thought,"IRON CHIN"meant u could take the shot standing up,not dragging urself off the canvas,my bad!!

so did i but the calzaghe brigade has redefined many words. such as "iron chin" and "power"

[iron mike]

gamboa more than likely a stoppage tko

Gamboa SHOULD win this, he shouldn't lose until he faces a power puncher, when he will go down.

[Sin City]

He is a good opponent for Gamboa and is dangerous, the guy has plenty of skills. On the down side as you mentioned he's been stopped two times and I'm sure that's one of the reasons he was picked as an opponent as gamboa will be looking to win in impressive fashion.

Say what you will about Gamboa but the quality of opponents he's faced is fantastic for a guy with 12 fights. I mean his third pro fight was against a guy with 50+ fights under his belt.

If fact, here is the record of all the guys he's face (most recent to oldest):

27 - 2
25-0
27-3
23-2-2
13-1-1
7-4-2
19-2
25-1
7-4-1
12-5-2
40-11
7-0
6-1

Or a combined record of:
238-29-8

That's pretty impressive imo, despite all his experience in the ametures

that's extremely impressive!
Hopefully they don't push him too fast too soon.. though IMO the guy should be ready for a title fight soon.

[Pullcounter]

this guy was brought in to make gamboa look good. gamboa is already 27, he should be moved along faster.

[Jim Jeffries]

that's extremely impressive!
Hopefully they don't push him too fast too soon.. though IMO the guy should be ready for a title fight soon.

First record I've ever seen that didn't have a single losing record or pro debuter on it. I think he'll be ready for a title shot later this year. If they're smart, they'll put him in with someone like Steven Luevano, the FW WBO title holder. A southpaw, but not too tall and not a lot of power.
