    Yuriorkis Gamboa, Is anyone else loosing interest on this kid?

    his last performance was ...
    back then i was hyped but everyone is hyping this kid as a future star.
    and he said before facing jimenez that after he beats darling he wants pacquiao's belt, big mistake junior, .

    his stock dropped a lot but it was for the best. we now know he wasnt ready for the big time yet, and should be brought along slower. Juarez is a fight being talked about for late in the year, right now, thats a KO victory for Juarez IMO, and a possible career altering loss for Gamboa cause he is so young.

    He is unbelievable gifted, and could be a great fighter. we'll see.

      He has a lot of talent and potential, he needs to work on a few things, most importantly his defense, if he can work out his flaws, he'll be a force in the future.

          I think he'll still be a star, it just might take a bit longer than originally planned to get used to the pros. I don't think Jiminez was a bum and I don't think Gamboa looked that bad against him.

            I didn't think he looked as bad as everyone said he did. He needs to keep his hands up more, but I was impressed with his side stepping and then punching. Pretty fun stuff to watch.

                I do believe Yuriorkis Gamboa is a future star, he has great boxing skills and packs a big punch. He is ambitious but maybe that is because most cubans are, hence saying he is going after Paquiao's belt but he does have to develop himself more and better his defense before going after something bigger.

                  I said it from the start.

                  This guy is wildly over rated.

                  Jorge Linares is 5 times the better prospect.

                    How can he be a prospect when he already has a title?
