Edwin Valero Vs Yuriorkis Gamboa @130, who takes it???

Yuriorkis gamboa and Edwin Valero are both crazy knockout punchers. Both of them had the majority of their fights in or around 130, but now yuri went down in weight and is fighting at 122 - 126 and Valero went up and is fighting at 135. I don't know, but someone's getting ktfo. Edwin Valero age 28 manager/agent register division lightweight stance southpaw height 5′ 7½″ / 171cm reach 69″ / 175cm alias El Inca / Dinamita nationality Venezuela residence Las Vegas, Nevada, United States birth place Merida, Venezuela won 26 (KO 26) + lost 0 (KO 0) + drawn 0 = 26 rounds boxed 58 KO% 100 Yuriorkis Gamboa age 28 division featherweight stance orthodox height 5′ 5½″ / 166cm reach 65″ / 165cm alias El Ciclon de Guantánamo nationality Cuba residence Miami, Florida, United States birth place Guantanamo, Cuba birth name Yuriorkis Gamboa Toledano won 17 (KO 15) + lost 0 (KO 0) + drawn 0 = 17 rounds boxed 62 KO% 88.24

As gifted a boxer as he is I still don't like the odds of Gamboa jumping two divisions up and challenging the hardest puncher in the sport especially when your own set of whiskers are really shaky. That right there is a major recipe for disaster. Despite fighting like a caveman and brute at 130-135, Valero has not visited the canvas six times like Gamboa. Gamboa will be waking up next week wondering which car hit him when all is said and done.

Valero has crazy power, he lands on Gamboa it's over. I doubt he keeps Valero off him for 12 rounds.

Gamboa is a FW and Valero is now a full sized LW. Valero would decapitate him. Its funny how this poll is panning out, Gamboa is fast and flashy but he wouldnt have much for Valero, it would be a short shootout with Gamboa going down.

Damn I never thought of this match-up, but this fight would be a classic for however long it lasted. Valero has the edge in power, and Gamboa has the edge in speed, but they both excel in those categories. I question both guys chin and defense... Gamboa's skills far surpass Valero though, so I think that would likely get him the KO within 5 rounds. I got to play this shit on Fight Night later...

Valero is to offensive for Gamboa. Gamboa has been knock'd down by feather fisted fighters. I see Gamboa respecting Edwins power.

Gamboa by KO. Valero has too many openings and Gamboa is one of the most accurate punchers in boxing. Also Gamboa has fought a few times at 130 and is actually a huge FW.

v i've never been impressed with valero, as much as i would like to root for a ko artist, not a guy who's fought mostly against limited opposition, only two guys i think were credible that he ko'd. gamboa ko's valero. Gamboa's competition is far worse than Valero's and his chin is very shaky. Valero should be able to stretch him with the first good shot he lands at 135. Until Gamboa proves that he can destroy good opponents north of 130 this is the only reasonable analysis.

valero is too wide and predictable for gamboa, gamboa would tee off on him. if valero can take it to deep waters in a grueling fight, he's got natural power, so his power will stay with him the whole fight, there i would give him a punchers chance. i think valero would be knocked down and around if he tried to stand and trade or punch with gamboa. i've never been impressed with valero, as much as i would like to root for a ko artist, not a guy who's fought mostly against limited opposition, only two guys i think were credible that he ko'd. gamboa ko's valero.

who ever lands the first big shot...I think Gamboa will win because of superior hand speed and athleticism

I go with Gamboa via 1st or 2nd rd KO. Valero's chin isn't that sturdy and Gamboa is so quick, Valero won't know what hit him. Plus Valero's defense blows. It won't be hard for Gamboa to sink a lighting shot in on him.

Valero with relative ease. If nobodies managed to land on Gamboa and deck him, a pitterpat punch from Valero would render him unconscious for days. :439:

I have to agree that Valero has a puncher's chance but when I saw him fight LIVE against Pituala, the man seemed super slow with the punches..like Margarito speed.. think Gamboa would KO him within 6 rounds

Valero has a puncher's chance, but I think Gamboa could take him out.
