Lopez does not beat gamboa at the moment based on his last fight

lopez reminds me a lot of cotto. he has the same mistakes. same shortcomings. i think he's safe as long as he doesnt fight any fighters on his level. once he does tho, the fights become tossups. gamboa is a tossup. i think i like caballero over both.

The same gamboa who in his last fight got tired after 6, wouldn't pick his hands up, and then started looking terrible? Who is about as chinny as they come, too. On last night.. Lopez will KILL Gamboa. At the time when Lopez's volume and pressure began to pick up ten fold is the point where gamboa's hands drop to his waist and he starts looking fatigued during a fight. Do the math. Will we also purposely ignore WHO Lopez fought last night, too?

Gambo gets dropped more, but he's never really been DRASTICALLY hurt. Lopez has. Lopez has been hurt three times, Mtagwa, Concepcion and Marquez. Two of the three were smaller then he is naturally. Nonetheless, it's a good, close fight. I hope to see it in 2011. Or either of these two with Celestino Callabero. Boxing is good.

agreed, its a toss up fight. either guy can get ko'd in that fight. I dont think so I think gamboa has the one punch power to send Lopez to sleep and gamboa has the speed and boxing ability to fight lopez on the outside...... But it will be a good fight though because of Lopez heart :popcorn:

Gamboa is the better boxer, but Lopez has more power and YES the better chin. Gamboa has been dropped like 6 or 7 times and nobody calls him a glass jaw. It is a choose them fight, it can go either way. agreed, its a toss up fight. either guy can get ko'd in that fight.

Gamboa hasn't looked great in his last 2 fights.

Really? Because in Gamboa last fight in finally stepping up to a top 10 level(which was about time) wasn't impressive at all. And, also got hurt and dropped in that fight. Matter of fact if Rafa was fighting Salido last night, Rafa would of won.

Gamboa is the better boxer, but Lopez has more power and YES the better chin. Gamboa has been dropped like 6 or 7 times and nobody calls him a glass jaw. It is a choose them fight, it can go either way. I agree, they are both a bit over rated IMO. I think Gamboa's D is REALLY BAD. Juanma is not much better in the defensive dept. either... so it really is a toss up.

And, Gamboa beats Lopez based on his last fight? Exactly both guys have showed that they arent unbeatable this fight is a toss up.

gamboa actually beats lopez based on his last fight too and overall no one calls gamboa glass chin because he never losses his legs when hes been dropped 3 times in his career flash knockdowns but lopez legs turn to jelly and he ends up gettin hit more lol.

Gamboa is the better boxer, but Lopez has more power and YES the better chin. Gamboa has been dropped like 6 or 7 times and nobody calls him a glass jaw. It is a choose them fight, it can go either way.

And, Gamboa beats Lopez based on his last fight?
