How tall is Gamboa?

[Jim Jeffries]

Jimenez is listed as 5'6" and during the fight Gamboa was listed at 5'6" also. Boxrec has Gamboa at 5'5", but there seemed to be at least 2 in difference between them. Anyone have any idea? And will his height be a factor as he moves up in weight?

[Easy-E]

I heard 5' 5 1/2."

I heard 5' 5 1/2."

Cool, he looks short as hell and Jimenez must be taller than his listed 5'6" then.

[Shanus]

Gamboa is 5'4.

[Undefeated]

Gamboa is 3'11

[ElGranLuchador]

gamboa is too short he won the gold medal at flyweight he should be dominating the lower weight classes

[RichCCFC]

Shorter than my ****.

[Jim Jeffries]

Gamboa is 5'4.

That sounds about right.

Yeah and he was 22 then, where he'd already done most of his physical maturing. I think his best weight would be 122, with guys like Vasquez (5'4 1/2") and Rafael Marquez (5'5") where his height wouldn't be an issue, and his power would be that much stronger.

I met with him several times last December -- trust me, the guy is no more than 5' 4" tall, if that.

I am only 5' 9" myself and Gamboa barely came up to my shoulders...

Thanks man, I know you can never go by what's listed, hell Tyson was listed at 5'11 1/2" and I know he's closer to 5'10". It might be too late, he's bulked up a ton so far, but I still think he's better suited for SBW. Then maybe FW and SFW as he gets better.
