    ..YURIORKIS GAMBOA Won, However...

    Damn, does Rojas have some great reflexes. He was Whitaker-esque in some of these sequences against a lightning-fast, power-puncher who can hurt you with one shot.

    And he's 37 years old.

    Kudos to him for that. Regardless, Gamboa did well, paced himself and showed some intelligence. As I once discussed with a poster on this website, when he's in there against a better fighter, he'd be better defensively, dodge more punches, keep his hands up more. In this fight, he got caught a few times and didn't wobble once.

    Solid win, cong**** on the 'title.'

    His downfall was his offense. Horrendous, slow, wide, predictable.

        Yea Rojas was insane in there, Gamboa couldn't have more than a 5-10% connect percentage in that fight, Rojas looked like ****in Willy Pep and Pernel Whitaker combined.

            yeah that's because the 150 punches he did land were only 10% of the 1500 punches he threw overall.......how did the fight get stopped again? Oh yeah, Rojas was too f'd up to continue because his eye was swollen shut and bleeding

              Rojas was whitaker-esque? god damn!
              did you see the dudes eyes?

              Gamboa went easy on dude
              he was toying with him
              everytime he hit him he just backed off to showboat
              If he wanted to he could have tee off on the old man
              Gamboa fought a smart fight and looked less wreckless

              The wreckless Gamboa from 3 or 4 fights ago would have finished this guy off under 3 rounds.

                It was a good fight. I didnt expect Rojas to last so long. He did a great job. Now, is it just me, or does Rojas fight in a really gay way? The way he threw the jab and everything just looked weird.

                  I'm not sure about that, the reckless Gamboa also got knocked down a few times at well. He looked better in this fight.

                    Exactly, The wreckless Gamboa gives up his chin for a KO. Not in this case which is good. He should fight like he fought tonight because he is still effective like that, no need to go all out like that.
