Excellent call. Going from the amatuers to a title in 15 pro fights is to much for some ditsy coach to handle.
He NEEDS to work on his defense, and stop throwing pitty pat punches like he did in the amauers, and start putting some pop behind his shots.

Gamboa, who won a gold medal for the Cuban boxing team at the 2004 Olympic Games, had to earn his 10-round decision over Jimenez. Gamboa got too ****y and Jimenez dropped him in the fourth round, causing more than a few anxious moments in his corner. After the fight Gamboa's promoter, Ahmet Öner of Arena Boxing, fired Gamboas' trainer, Osmiri Fernandez, in the dressing room.
"Gamboa knows everything about boxing. He doesn't need somebody to teach him boxing," Öner said. "He needs someone he can respect as his trainer and someone to teach him to respect his opponents. He needs someone he will listen to."
Oner said they will begin a search for a new trainer. Meanwhile, Luis De Cubas, who runs the American operation for Arena Boxing, said they want to get Gamboa back in the ring on June 27. De Cubas said he had some concerns that Jimenez would be too big a step up for Gamboa.
