Gamboa is a great looking fighter, good movement, good power lightning and unearthly quick reflexes but if he were matched with someone like Mayweather sr he could be insanely good. Even with all of this he will need to be shown how to best use it to become world class against the level of opposition in and around the lightweight division. Who better than Floyd Mayweather Sr.? he could add world class defense and improve the kid technically. anyone think of a better match?
I thought the very same thing while watching the fight.
Should i be concerned about his chin? He was knocked down by a much smaller man who is not a big puncher. Gamboa won't be able to make 130 much longer.
it was a slip but if u on about last night i duno inexpierance all i know hes gt a gd chin i seen all his fights hes been tested and he will trust me hes been makin that wieght almost all his life 400 fights+ and 2 gold medals says he makes 130 when he wants lol.
Gamboa already knows that he needs to keep his hands up, he said that in an interview. He's also with Arena promotion which is a german(turkish) promoter they have a lot of fighters with the typical german turtle defense and trainers for that, althought his own trainer isn't like that.

Fuck me, that is a pretty good one. ^ True, excellent insight.
Why would a fighter who has accomplished so much as an amateur and is now a successfull up and coming professional hire a trainer like Floyd senior so he can claim all the credit for his success in the future.
He doesn't need Mayweather.
Floyd snr has 10x the ego his son does and thats saying something!!!
Uve got a good point man. God i hate that muther fucker!

He'd be better with Roger, he's more aggressivly minded which would suit a banger like Gamboa

I would agree with you. From what I saw tonight either Mayweather would seem to be a natural fit to train a fighter with the type of style and ability Gamboa has. However, if he doesn't get his hands up forget it. NO trainer will be able to prevent him from getting plowed .....
exactly why he needs a high caliber trainer. They wouldnt let him do those things,,or at least try
