Yuriorkis Gamboa appreciation thread

[STEELHEAD]

gamboa(9-0 8k) with an extensive amature carerr looks great against guys that stand in front of him. berto use to fight like that. hands down. potshotting.
bxrc has gamboa facing featherweight marcos ramirez (25-0 16k) in may.
i think there bring him up good. he has potential!

gamboa is amazing, he really is the real deal. the only thing i want to know is how good his chin is. but even if he has a glass chin, i think that he should be able to at least be world champion. i hope that he starts to get his hands up a bit, or at least his right hand.

Gamboa may be the best prospect in the game, but he's still a prospect.

Prospect's mature into contenders, then champions, then great champions...
IF they pass the hurdles of increased competition.


Gamboa may have already faced better opposition in 9 fights than any other prospect has faced in recent memory at the same stage in his career, but he's still a prospect moving into contender status.

A real pleasure to watch, & will happily tune in to see how his career progresses, but nothing is set in stone in boxing, no matter how much talent you have.
