Gamboa, You think he would have learned his lesson.

    It's not second nature for him to keep his hands up yet but it's progress in the right direction.

      It's true.. the fight was too short to tell so I take back my statement. I saw him drop his hands a couple times though and this is the reason why I posted this. Only real way to tell is to watch his next fight.

Tonight he seemed not to move as much and was concentrating on keeping his hands up which undoubtedly his new trainer Salas is working with him on.
        Don't worry, he's got enough experience and he can adapt, if his chin proves to be good he'll be the goods. I don;t know when we'll find out about his chin though. He doesn't get hit much, he received a kd from jimenez but that was nothing, that was like a Roy Jones kd on Toney.

          gamboa looked like he wanted to get some rounds in at the begining and then
          when he seen an opening when seeger was hugging him he clocked him bigtyime.
          sham...ir khan wouldnt have a chance against this guy if he stepped up to 135!

            Nice 1st round KO but after being dropped in his last fight he still doesn't keep his hands up. I like Gamboa, like his style and is exciting to watch but if he don't learn to keep his hands up he is gonna be in lots of trouble when he steps up!

            A fight I want to see him in down the line would be Linares though, Linares is moving up. With their styles it would be very entertaining business! Yuriorkis better keep them hands up against Linares though boy, I'll tell you that!
            He knocked out his opponent in the first round and you're still whining?

              if gamboa is fast enough to get away with the hands down style good for him, but he just needs to be aware at all times and bring his hands up when hes on the inside against a big puncher

                  Gamboa is more comfortable at jr feather. Very impressive win.

                  I think he's ready for a title shot. I wanna see him against Chris John.

                    Actually I thought he did a much better job of that in this fight (or at least that round…lol).

                      I just seen Al Seeger fight and still not buying it.

                      Al Seeger is a contender who took the fight in a 3 day notice. So maybe couple of other fight to with good contender and traveling around the world with make him better
