Vasyl Lomachenko Vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa

Loma definatley is faster or at least just as fast as Gamboa... Gamboa does not have Rigo speed... Who edges out Loma. All that aside, this would be a big step up for Loma in terms of quality opposition and a great coming attraction for a big Rigo fight. Of course, if Loma beat Rigo (or the other way around)... What else can either one of them do? At least Loma can move up and face bigger guys... Rigo will have hit a ceiling in terms of his competition. Also, what needs to be said and what can't be said enough... Is how CLEAN Loma and the Cuban fighters fight... No holding, no BS elbows(like Floyd), no cheap sh*t... just pure, unadulterated boxing at its highest level... When fights like this happen boxing as whole shines... Gamboa at his best was faster than even Rigo. A prime Gamboa is up there with the fastest fighters I've seen. I do agree though, both great fighters who fight in the correct way. There's no nonsense, no holding and that is to be appreciated these days. As a Gamboa fan it is saddening to see how his career has been wasted by promotional problems and inactivity, but I'm hopeful he still gets some big fights before it's over.

gamboa dominates loma. you tripping if you think loma is faster. He's more techical but that it. too bad this will never happen.

I've got Gamboa. He's obviously past his best and highly inactive, but his talent level is supreme. If he's still at a good level, he's the better fighter. Lomachenko is not faster than Gamboa :lol1: Even at this age, he's still much faster. Loma definatley is faster or at least just as fast as Gamboa... Gamboa does not have Rigo speed...

I thought klimas specifically said that loma only wanted to unify someone's lying

Gamboa better end it quick with a knockout. The longer the fight goes the more i favor Vasyl due to the fact that Gamboa has stamina issues and gets wreck less as a fight progresses.

Gary Russel Jr's handspeed meant nothing against Loma's technical proficiency. I don't think Gamboa's athleticism would bail him out of a schooling.

Faster than Gamboa? I don't think so. Gamboa is very fast. I think Loma would win. Gamboa doesn't fight much at all and I think he is going downhill for some reason. Gamboa is still very good so it's a close fight. Loma by close ud.

Great fight but it would have to be at 130, Gamboa confirmed this. Shouldn't be an issue since there isn't much for Loma at 126 with TR atm. I disagree that Loma has speed over Gamboa.

I doubt Gumby can make featherweight.

Don't get my hopes up!!! :boxing:

i wouldnt say theres much of a size advantage..... they basically have the same height/reach... except gamboa clearly gained too much muscle.. but given boxing is a weight-divided sport, there wont be much weight advantages if the fight is made lol..

Good fight, It will do good for Gamboa to come down, sure he can get as high as heavyweight with the juice he's on, but he's not bigger than Loma really, just ease off the good stuff a bit and come down to a more appropriate weight for his size.
