how highly do you rate gamboa? ive only seen him blast a few guys out in one round so i cant really make a good judgement.
surprised me to find out hes 28...i hope him and khan fight before hes in his 30's.....
it pisses me off that if khan had limond in the trouble khan was in it would have been stopped...probably sooner
Yep most deffinatly. To this day i want to know why Limond stood off of Khan. He was gone, a few solid shots and he could have ended it. But he stood back...
i think he's 26, not 28?
and he looks good, but i don't think he'll quite make it to that top, top level mainly because of his defense
Gamboa is listed as 26, but Cuban fighters are notorious for lying about their age.
If Gamboa keeps his hands down Juanma might take him out, he has the power to do it. De Leon was a sturdy fighter and look what Juanma did to him..
i wanna see that fight as well.
juanma at 126.
lights out for gamboa.
im no khan fan, but hes no joke....if he wasnt so highly hyped by the english media hed probably have a lot more boxing fans excited about him....
im english and i cant help but root for his opponent every time i see him fight....im sure id suppourt him on a world level though....
your right about him moving up in weight...i think the size factor is crucial to him looking impressive....and his power isnt deadly against better competition....
Gamboa is greatly being hyped. That's the problem. He's good and he has a great amateur career, but amateur and pro are two different things. He will go pretty far however, at least that's what it seems.
How do you see Juanma vs Gamboa play out now???
I think Lopez is too polished for Gamboa right now but if Gamboa improves his defense, I'd pick him.

I do hope it is. What has Khan got fed up of being put down by 130 pounders, so he going to join them? :rofl:
:lol1: Yeah, it'll just make his chin worse.

Yeah, I read the rumor and I thought it was ridiculous and his team hasn't announced anything yet so it's probably just a rumor.

Honestly, i doubt Khan will be able to make 130. He is very big for 135, and i think an extra 5 pounds would leave him drained.

Gamboa is 26 which is still relatively old to start a pro boxing career but it's because he had a very long amateur career in Cuba.
He has a lot of potential, it's hard to say if his defense has improved because his last fight ended inside a round but if he can correct his bad habits, he can be a force to be reckoned with.
And Khan fights at 135 although I have read a rumor that he's moving down to 130 but Gamboa has just moved down to 126.
