Donaire has too much boxing for Gamboa, who still keeps a lot of his amateur habits. Right now Donaire can wipe divisions from the 118 to 126 IMO.
The world will end the day a Puerto Rican says something good about Gamboa. :lol1:
Gamboa comes charging in like he always does.
Nonito counter left hook.
Gamboa is stiff on the ground flopping like a tuna out of water.
Nonito's hand is raised in glorious victory.
Donaire's problem is with switching stances, which caused him to get hit more than he should swithcing orthodox from southpaw. At the southpaw stance he had a tendency to leave his left hand low and fight "short" causing him to get hit with too many lead hooks.
i would have to go with Gamboa only because of the size advantage
HBO released compubox numbers like a week ago showing that from all the active elite boxers, Gamboa is the most difficult to hit, right after Mayweather. Mayweather has the record with only 16% connection on him. Gamboa is second with only 20% average connection on him.
Now, to be fair, Donaire is not far behind with only 21%.
The problem is people love to talk **** in these boards. You have just owned him.
Donaire, I like Yuri but He is easy to hit and he aint face no one as skilled as Donaire.
