both of these lads are elite fighters waiting to happen...
gamboa is the explosive fan friendly one while CJ is the silent, technical type...
chris john's timing is impeccable... i have watched nearly all his title defenses & his jab is pretty accurate...
the perfect antidote to speed & explosiveness...
I'm going to go against everyone and pick Gamboa to scratch a decision should this fight happen. I feel he can just sit back like he did tonight and use his vastly superior speed to counter whenever John leads. John fights orthodox as well, so he shouldn't have as many problems as he did tonight. If he tries to blitz continuously he will likely lose, he used a better game plan tonight for dealing with experienced boxers.
It's amazing how much criticism a fighter receives on here after winning every round against a strong veteran. Of course his discipline is going to break somewhat after dominating every round, he was trying to get his man out of there and already knew Rojas could do nothing to him, he was barely even throwing.
we have to find out sooner or later so **** it, make it happen. im tired of seeing gamboa vs bums, i understand he's only 15-0.
Let it happen and lets see what he does
hell no he's not ready. He still has zero game plan. He doesn't customize or stylize his game plans to his opponent he just goes out and head hunts with huge power shots, never tries to break the guy down or invest in body work. Just goes out and now slightly more patiently than before tries to wing huge power shots at the guy's head in an attempt to knock them out cold. When he lands something he struts around arrogantly and dances for the judges and keeps his hands completely down at his sides like Nate Campbell. This guy is a brutal KO waiting to happen, smoeone needs to drill sergeant his ass.
What do you think about Lara?
because each time i see gamboa dancing around i keep loosing more hope for him.
He ain't even ready for the 122 pounders. Izzy, Raf, Juanma
Co-sign, I don't like his chances against those guys. I used to think that he and Lopez where more or less on the same level in terms of power, but after seeing Rojas eat so many flush shots, I'm begining to wonder if his power is somewhat overated.
