gamboa=hamed?

[AntonTheMeh]

first off,that that was the best boxing after dark I've ever seen,i was impressed by all the fighters.they all stepped up,they're weren't any cans at these fights.angulo looks official[though he should better his jab he has stop pawing with that ****,he could be something special]kirkland is a bit like a tyson hagler hybrid to me,he's official aswell.as i watched the gamboa fight i heard a comparison between he and hamed,and when i thought of jimenez i thought of his orthodoxy and barrera.obviously he's not the legend barrera is,but its clear a that a fighter with greater orthodoxy could be a problem.i think it was a great situation for gamboa to reevaluate his gameplan as he marches towards a championship.i think if hefinds someone who could teach him that peekaboo style ala tyson/patterson/torres he could be even better.nonetheless,i think he's special aswell.

The only thing I see similar stylewise between Hamed and Gamboa is them keeping their hands low, Hamed by choice, Gamboa by habit.

Gamboa fighting over 400 amateur fights should help him if he comes across a textbook orthodox fighter. He needs to work on keeping his hands high and his chin down though.

yeah. i think those ridiculous reflexes are a lot like hamed though.

True, their reflexes are/were unbelievable.

I agree...but a good promotional company doesn't hurt a defected Cuban boxer trying to make money. Mario Mesa is even more accomplished than Gamboa...he beat Amir Khan for Gold Medal at the last Olympics. Look out for a Cuban Heavyweight to start making noise...Gamboa is only 1 part of the Cuban hitlist(defectors). And to be honest, his name is cool sounding, but he is not the best Cuban I ever saw fight on t.v. Stevenson was smooth, Savon was calculating and athletic, Casamajor was just phenomenal(1992 champion, same Olympics as de la Hoya).

i agree but gamboa can't slip all the punches, thats why he got clocked last night.

No-where near Hamed's Level yet. Doubt he ever will

we're talking about the way he moves.

I can see similarities.

I think Naz was more exciting though he fought like he was made out of elastic.
