how good is gamboa?

[T-97]

Gamboa is greatly being hyped. That's the problem. He's good and he has a great amateur career, but amateur and pro are two different things. He will go pretty far however, at least that's what it seems.

How do you see Juanma vs Gamboa play out now???

If Gamboa keeps his hands down Juanma might take him out, he has the power to do it. De Leon was a sturdy fighter and look what Juanma did to him..

I think Lopez is too polished for Gamboa right now but if Gamboa improves his defense, I'd pick him.

im no khan fan, but hes no joke....if he wasnt so highly hyped by the english media hed probably have a lot more boxing fans excited about him....

im english and i cant help but root for his opponent every time i see him fight....im sure id suppourt him on a world level though....

your right about him moving up in weight...i think the size factor is crucial to him looking impressive....and his power isnt deadly against better competition....

it pisses me off that if khan had limond in the trouble khan was in it would have been stopped...probably sooner

i think he's 26, not 28?

and he looks good, but i don't think he'll quite make it to that top, top level mainly because of his defense

Gamboa is listed as 26, but Cuban fighters are notorious for lying about their age.

Yep most deffinatly. To this day i want to know why Limond stood off of Khan. He was gone, a few solid shots and he could have ended it. But he stood back...

[jamesc]

if hed knocked out khan he probably would have woken up with a horse's (or maybe khans) head in his bed...
