If you're surprised Gamboa went down . . . .

[kayjay]

Mosley never had the head movement Gamboa does, and he never had the foot work or lateral movement that Gamboa does.

Mosley was more accurate though.

The problem is that everyone is always looking for that. There is no "next big thing."

Gamboa is fine for what he is: a defected Cuban who got to the pro game too late; an exciting guy who hangs his chin out and can't take what he gives.

Yeah I understand what your saying, but in sports everybody is looking for that all the time. Im not thinking that he will be, but I hope he has a sucessful career and has some good fights along the way. If he becomes a huge star so be it, if he doesn't so be it.

His recklessness I think at some point will cost him, but so far he's taken it and dished out even more.

I'll give you that, Mosley is more accurate. He punches straighter, and his combinations are more educated, but what are you expecting? Mosley is the most fluid combination puncher of the last 20 years.

again, gamboas head movemet sucks when he is looking to punch...otherwise he wouldnt have gotten caught by 2 clean punches and an elbow on his way inside....mosleys was better especially if you combine it with his subtle upper body movement and leg foundation that allowed him to twist his way to punching range without getting hit.....and mosley had better footwork......

Gamboa got hit with just about the biggest WTF you could get hit with. Thanks to digital camera's, and all.
