What if Gamboa loses in his next fight?

Gamboa is truly one of the elite athletes in the sport. As far as pure athletic ability he is every bit as talented as Pac, Mayweather, and Martinez. Speed, quickness, power, agility, reflexes...this kid literally has it all. JuanMa losing is exactly what Bob Arum deserved....God I really do despise that scumbag Arum. Gamboa is something to behold. What he brings can't be taught. There are many good fighters out there, but precious few inspire awe. I've re-watched some of Yuri's recent fights; even in the ones that see the final bell, Gamboa looks like the other guy doesn't belong in the same ring with him. Fighters like "El Ciclon" don't come along every day...appreciate them while they're still in or around their prime.

Man it feels like just yesterday when people were hating on gamboa and calling him overated. with that said if he does lose, you'll see a lot of "I knew Gamboa was overated" threads" I haven't seen too much hate towards Gamboa, although many people have called him "overrated." I think JuanMa got a lot more hate. Now that Lopez has been brought closer to earth, some people will probably ease up towards him. It certainly seems as though Salido's performance not only brought JuanMa down, but Yuri up. Most people are carried with the prevailing wind: if a fighter's winning, he's great; if he's losing, he's a "bum".

It would be pretty fair for the Lopez vs Gamboa fight if Gamboa were to lose in the same fashion as Lopez against a lesser opponent.

It would be hilarious, but it's most likely not happening. Gamboa, even with his amateur tendencies, has blinding speed and snapping power to more than compensate for it. Gamboa has been down several times in his pro career, but he's never looked genuinely hurt or in danger. We can't even begin thinking about that. We don't even know who his next opponent is. Besides, after this Saturday's showing with Juanma, I seriously believe Bob Arum will be even more cautious matching Gamboa with someone. Gamboa is the future at 126 if he learns to keep his guard up. That kid is phenomenal.

An upset loss of the Juanma Salido variety seems unlikely. Gamboa has never been hurt in that manner in that past. Juanma has been in that position before, so it wasn't too much of a surprise for him to find himself there again against a durable, strong fighter. If Gamboa was to lose, it would shock all of NSB. Won't happen at 126, especially now. He seems to be putting all the pieces together with his boxing style.

Either way Gamboa should step up in weight soon and i cant see any1 in the super feather division that could come close to beating him so i see him remaining unbeaten for a long long time!

What do you think might happen if somehow Gamboa also gets an upset loss by KO in his next fight? I think that would be hilarious. There aren't too many fighters at 126 I can see having a chance of beating Gamboa. JuanMa, despite his upset loss to Salido, is one of them. Another is Chris John. Rafa Marquez might have a shot if he "dials back the clock" a little bit. If Yuri were to lose to anyone other than these three, I'd be shocked. A loss to anyone would diminish Gamboa's growing aura. A loss to an unheralded opponent would seriously damage Yuri's career potential; he doesn't have anything near Lopez's fan-base to fall back on.

it wont happen trust me, he is on a different level
