So...Gamboa. Opinions on his future please

[abadger]

I think Gamboa has plenty of talent, but he is very sloppy. I predict he will not make the grade at elite level, he is 26 years old and should be taking a more professional attitude.

Thoughts?

Well.......

Manny Pac or Valero knocks him out cold.....

I need to see more.

[Silencers]

If he learns how to keep his hands up, chin tucked and not get too wild. He can be a very good fighter.

Sloppy? His only real weakness is his defense. He was landing clean and accurate punches when he wasnt throwing 40 punch combinations.

He reminded me of Naseem Hamed at times, it looked like he was playing around and times. He needs to take these fights serious, alot of people don't like that clowning around stuff.

He did way better then I expected, he passed my expections!!! He looked great!!! He took on a good fighter for his 10th fighter!!! And people are dissing him because he got knocked down by a good fighter? Wtf???

It's only his 10th fight, no **** hes not ready for them yet but he is great for his 10th fight!!!

Gamboa's style looks to me like a cross between Roy Jones and James Toney, but he is no Roy Jones in terms of athleticism and speed, and he is no James Toney in terms of being hard to hit. He also does not have the respect for his opponent that both of those fighters had.

As it stands, he would be wasted by any of the current champs or contenders at 130 or 135.

As of this moment I rate Amir Khan as the better prospect, he is 5 years younger, and while not as naturally talented as Gamboa, is not far behind, and appears much more professional in his approach.

Is Jimenez better than "El Loco" that guy that knocked down Valero and then Valero koed him in the 1oth? Forgot his name.

Sloppy? He was landing fast snappy punches thruout the fight,it was his 10th pro fight and he won 9 outa 10 rounds against Darling Jiminez,a very good fighter who could beat a couple of contenders and prospects in boxing,Gamboa has star written over him,he can be a champ,hes very strong mentaly,he was calm throughout the whole fight,he just cant get too ****y

I should clarify, defensively he is sloppy, offensively he is crisp.
