    Everytime he starts out his fights, he is always patient, and measures up and dictates his distance. He tests the opponent on what they can and can't do. Especially in his last fight, he took his time and wasn't wreckless in the least bit as the fight started out. When he realized that he could do whatever he wanted to the opponent then he took advantage of it. It's obvious that's exactly what he does. If a fighter like Mtagwa or Lopez won't be so easy for him, then he will stay patient and box instead of getting wreckless. He only gets wreckless when he knows he can handle the fighter whenever he chooses to.

The only reason why that fight might not happen is that Gamboa is already having some problems with 126 and might move to 130 soon. Remember he has had fights at 130... So if that fight does happen it will be at 130. But, it would take a few years for Juanma to get up to 130...
      I know they both top rank. JuanMas fat ass can make 130 he drains himself. Gamboa is fine with weight he was .2 over. A couple drops of sweat and he was good to go.

        I dont think Lopez is a guy who can capitalize on Gamboas mistakes. Roy Jones nae LOT of mistakes. Still no one could **** with him. I think Gamboa is similar in that way. Hes cat quick with KO power in both hands. Thats why Im a fan.

        Tomorrow night you will believe.
        Because unlike alot of you i lost interest in Gamboa im either in for a reality check or if he loses, it would reinforce what i already feel.

        I disagree with you guys in some instances, but im not above saying im wrong so i look foward to tommorow.

              Oh you don't know what you talking about. Gamboa is naturally the bigger guy... Juanma can still make 126 easy he has trouble making 122 but 126 he makes it easy yes he can fight at 130 he can also fight at 140 and 147 but that does not mean he belongs... He belongs at 126 and his body in time will grow to 130.... Gamboa is having trouble making 126, can he make 126? Yes but he has trouble doing so... He will be fighting at 130 soon... And, Arum also has no problem in putting both in the ring with each other cuz Arum can make money from both....

                Well I am just giving my opinion as well.

                I could be wrong, you could be wrong.

                Time will tell.

                  I know that Im saying he can easily make 130 Pounds.


                  .... Gamboa is having trouble making 126, can he make 126? Yes but he has trouble doing so... He will be fighting at 130 soon...

                  No doubt. I said he'll be a 130 Pounder soon. Maybe by the end of this year.

                  And, Arum also has no problem in putting both in the ring with each other cuz Arum can make money from both....


                  He can I just think he'll be careful with Lopez because he has the potential to be a HUGE draw. Giving that PR Blood in his veins.

                    Arum is not really a careful type of guy though... He threw Cotto tough and he had Prican blood in his veins, he threw Floyd in there tough, he threw Oscar in there tough... Arum gets a lot of bad rep that he does not deserve he really does not baby his fighters like a lot of people make it out to be...

                      That’s what makes him a good promoter in my opinion, too many spoon fed opponents just sets up a tempo for failure when fighting the next level of competition.
