Is Roger Gonzalez a test for Gamboa or should Gamboa walk right through him?

[ACHlLLES]

That is from a year and half ago, and this guy doesn't seem that bad of a boxer but his 2 losses are by either getting ko'd or stopped by the ref. He looks like he moves and gives angles so it's not easy to punch him. But then again maybe he is a different fighting in the ring then he is in training.

It is on ESPN2, so Gamboa should smash him, most likely anyways. There can always be an upset though.

Gamboa should stop him i thnk around round 6.

[ACHlLLES]

This guy seems quite talented, oh well if he can't fight like that in the ring then he is wasted talent. He probably has charlie zelenoffs chin, so if you just graze him he panics and gets caught. By the way, I'm a gamboa fan, but I appreciate his opponents skills.

he's not bad but gamboa is great. i got him number 2 on my p4p list right behind calzaghe.

I may be blind but hasnt Gamboa been dropped about 3 times already,I wouldnt call him great just yet,until he improves that shaky defence!!

[KJB]

Gamboa should walk right through him. If Gamboa is focused he walks through any of the lower level guys.

[ИATAS]

He is a good opponent for Gamboa and is dangerous, the guy has plenty of skills. On the down side as you mentioned he's been stopped two times and I'm sure that's one of the reasons he was picked as an opponent as gamboa will be looking to win in impressive fashion.

Say what you will about Gamboa but the quality of opponents he's faced is fantastic for a guy with 12 fights. I mean his third pro fight was against a guy with 50+ fights under his belt.

If fact, here is the record of all the guys he's face (most recent to oldest):

27 - 2
25-0
27-3
23-2-2
13-1-1
7-4-2
19-2
25-1
7-4-1
12-5-2
40-11
7-0
6-1

Or a combined record of:
238-29-8

That's pretty impressive imo, despite all his experience in the ametures

how dare you! even the great calzaghe gets dropped but he has an "IRON" chin! he always comes back to win and so does gamboa. 2 undefeated all time greats.

I stand corrected,I always thought,"IRON CHIN"meant u could take the shot standing up,not dragging urself off the canvas,my bad!!
