Gamboa pretty old for only 17 fights..

['Sugar' Freddi]

I just looked up his profile and he'll be 29 in December. I thought he was much younger for some reason, with only 17 fights.

[Texanballer]

That is why is he being brought up so fast. He dosent need fights really to grow. He had enough growing in the amateurs. He had like 300 amateur fights.

[Konfusious]

Well he was Olympic Champion and a lot of these Cuban boxers, aren't able to leave until they put the guard down of Cuba's government officials. Guillermo Rigondeux is another one who is a monster but he's not very young, but is probably one of the greatest Cuban amateur boxers ever.

[Blue Heffner]

Cuba has great athletes. I hate that their government is that way it is. It bothers me.

[Kball15]

Yea it took him years to defect succesfully from Cuba

[KingTito]

He was in the amateurs for long time. He couldn't defect from Cuba for a while.

[youngswish23]

thats ok though. he got speed to burn and power too. i think he can be special.

[murmagic]

i was shocked when i saw his age also, great start of the year for boxing anyway with juanma and gamboa

[catalinul]

It's ok.

Rigondeaux will be 30 this year and he has only 4 fights.

But he could be elite aswell.
