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

[bishop2006]

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.

My ass,i think Gamboa would outbox the **** out Juares for 12 rounds,the same was Soto,Barrera and Marquez did,Juarez cannot adapt,if he gets hit alot he loses composure and has a discouraged look on his face,an old,slow Barrera outboxed him in the 2nd fight,what do u think a super fast kid like Gamboa will do to him? He'll side step him all night long,not to mention Juarez hasnt carried his power up to the higher weight

And to answer the question,Gamboa is still the best prospect in boxing,fighting Darling Jiminez,a solid contender,in only his 10th pro fight and winning 9 out of 10 rounds,is a solid acheivement,how can he possibly have looked bad? It was an exciting fight

He's good and people are too harsh, hes in the ring against boxers that other boxers would piss themselves to be in the ring against. And I don't know what you're talking about Gamboa destroyed his last opponent and people still diss the kid.

Well you got to understand....that for ppl to call you good and stay on the bandwagon, you must not get knocked down, tested, or hit at all for that matter while throwing 150 punches a round and knocking ur opponent out within 3 rounds every time.

My interest is indeed very loose, though I'm not sure what that should mean.

I'm more excited about Juan Manuel Lopez

I think people going into that Jiminez fight had monster expectations for him. Especially after Kirkland and Angulo knocked their opponents out in the previous fights. I know Jiminez scored a KD, but Gamboa dominated every round except that one and Jiminez came out of the ring looking like a different person. Gamboa does keeps his hands low and that will probably be a problem against the elite fighters. If he can be able to use his gloves for defense along with his great reflexes than he's gonna be tough as hell.
