Hype or Real Deal? (Yuriorkis Gamboa)
Collapse

I don't think he'll ever be a guy with a hands up defensive style, I used to think he could change but I don't think he will now, I think his team should work on his movement, let him do what he likes to do, get in and out quickly while throwing those very quick shots. Maybe get him to keep his hands up in certain situations like when he's buzzed or when he's on the ropes etc. but don't make him keep his hands up all the time, it actually makes him worse as a fighter.
I agree about tucking his chin in though, that chin gets way too high.Comment

Right now I just see way too many *****s in his armour for this guy to become a "great" fighter. He is exciting and has potential and will no doubt become a world champion but I think that he is being over-hyped a little at the moment without a doubt. I am still a fan of his though. A dynamic and great to watch power puncher.Comment

well, that defeats the purpose of this thread. if we're going to wait to see what he "really" is, then why have a poll on it? lol.Comment

No, what I'm saying is to let him do what he likes to do while sharpening up a few things, if he can't keep his hands up and be effective, I doubt he'll be able to master the intricacies of the type of defense that Mayweather Sr. teaches while being effective.Comment

I think he's the real deal. He's got a lot of potential and talent to work with. I'm wouldn't be surprised if becomes champion sometime in the near future.Comment

anyone that voted "just hype" can still jump on the bandwagon. Gamboa hasn't won a championship yet. c'mon, heres your oppurtunity to say that you might be wrong about him just being hype.
this window of oppurtunity won't be open for long, I promise you. take it while you can get it.Comment

Hey man, give the kid some credit...he can f.uckin punch! Not every fighter is going to be 100% technically well sound. Tyson wasn't necessarily the best technical boxer, but he sure did knock the **** out of people, and that's really what people want to see in a Gamboa fight.Comment
