Yuriorkis Gamboa is a future bum or P4P???

[AKATheMack]

It kills me that he’s getting knocked down by journey men fighters as he progresses’ in each fight and yet his handlers have done nothing to correct his defensive flaw. It makes you wonder if there are intentions to hype him up for a big payday and then cash out when he gets exposed.

Peace.

Hes already been exposed he has poor defense and a shaky chin. Theres really nothing left to expose its just a matter of can you get to him before he tears you up.

[boojee]

i think Gamboa concentrates more on how to look flashy in the fight, winning is secondary. ie. hamed, chop-chop, emmanuel agustus

I see Gamboa winning a few more times and probably becoming a champion (none of this interim bullcrap please) before losing by upset knockout.

One thing about Gamboa though, everyone is already saying "When the guy gets exposed..." or "He is going to get exposed one day..." but what is "exposed" in your books? The way I see it, he HAS BEEN EXPOSED, but its not a terrible thing! We've all seen that he can be hit, he can be hurt and he can be dropped (4 times in 15 fights) but has handled it very well, and is 4-0 (3) in those fights! We've seen him exposed as having a slightly shaky chin (though he has never been BADLY hurt) and for being too ****y and having a sloppy defense at times, but like some other more popular fighters who we have seen hurt (Juan Manuel Marquez and Miguel Cotto to name some present day ones) he recuperates extremely fast! Gamboa has plenty of talent, great skills, absolutely incredible athletic ability but has been exposed for not being the worlds toughest man (which, though handy as hell, is not necessary to be a boxer). But man oh man, when he gets hit, does he ever let the other guy have it!

you guys are so dumb, check gamboas comp compared to any other prospect, he's been in there with solid fighters, his chin is fine, and he can be open when he attacks, but he recovers and is improving with every fight

I saw him against Gonzalez live for a Friday Night Fight event at Primm, Nv and the guy is insanely, insanely fast. However, his defense was horrible, looks even worse in person. I see him as a mini Roy Jones Jr, but he's not able to get away from as many punches, he's simply in there with faster opponents than Jr was and he gets caught more. Also... he seems to show off more than Roy does and that doesn't help either. I think he could be P4P if he worked on his defense A LOT more but its almost too late for that I think. IDK if he'll be P4P but I wouldn't count it out, he does have the skills I just don't think its likely to happen.

you ****wits dont even have any concept of what a bum is.....

a bum is a fighter who has faced mostly low class comp, and has had alot of losses, and doesnt have much ability

that said they still deserve respect for getting in the ring

[nujabes77]

i dont think he will ever be p4p1 considering the roosters now... he is not a bum thou, kids got talent

[eazy_mas]

impressiving showing??? he fight with bums and go to the flor many times

wow it seems that from long time i havent been watching boxing.

But he movement is pretty good as I could remeber

[Talon]

he has good defense he just never uses it. his chin is good i havent seen him hurt.. when he does use his defense its very good
