    ya he's got some great hand speed, heart, conditioning, exciting as hell blah blah blah. but he seriously flawed in defense and has been repeatedly hurt in his bouts. ya hes moved up and stepped up quickly, but hes not young and should be going at the pace imo.

    but what happens when he faces the elite that can really take advantage of his flaws.

    right now all his good qualities have insured he gets the W at the end of the day, but unless he adjusts its just a matter of time.

        He's 26; that is not old. He can afford 1 year under a good trainer while going up one step at a time. It's better than going right up to the top step and getting KFTO and never being the same.

          your right, he has all the potential in the world. he needs to adjust i hope he can make the adjustments needed but people are saying he may be too set in ways to do that.

          i guess we'll have to wait and see, maybe getting ktfo will be the only thing to give him the insight he seems to need.

              Gamboa has all the tools - all he needs is to continue sharpening them and that boy is on his way to great things. A great in the making IMO.

                This fight will be interesting, maybe too much too soon for Gamboa but I'm backing him in this fight.

                  He has been knocked down but not badly hurt. And i think he will have learned from that. Also he goes crazy because he is not really concerned about what is coming back at him yet. I think he wins a world title and continues to get better. He needs to keep his hands up but the speed, reflexes, and power are sick.

                    He has an incredible amateur record and won Gold.

                    He has been seriously hurt already. He defense is crap and hasn't gotten better.

                    If you are a pro and you are getting knocked down, you pull back your competition level and stay in the gym.

                    He hasn't even faced elite competition yet...that's worrisome.

                    He's more open than Britney's *****.
                    He has never been seriously hurt,when hes been knocked down,its been a flash knockdown,watch both videos against his last opponent and against Jiminez,as soon as he gets up,he comes back to actually win the round,and give punishment out in the process

                    But Gamboa does have to work on his D,hes got all the talent in the world,i think Floyd Sr would be a perfect match for Yuriorkis
