Gamboa is the best fighter in the world below 140

[Tmann400]

he needs to prove it first, do i believe he has the talent to be a top P4P fighter? yes i do. but we have to see him prove it against world class fighters.


in my honest opinion though, i feel Guillermo Rigondeaux has more overall talent and skills than gamboa. athleticism only takes you so far. rigondeaux isnt as flashy and athletic but he is one of the smartest fighters ive ever seen in the ring. hes also a master counter-puncher and has very good footwork and balance. id love to see them fight in the future. it would be a great fight.

i think its pretty clear... he has the speed, power, precision, and hes only 17 fights in.... he looks like hes just on another level when he fights.... This roger mtagwa guy gives juanma all he can handle, but get destroyed in two rounds in his next fight against gamboa.. it was like Mtagwa v. juanma was a b+ vs. B+, and gamboa vs. mtagwa looked like an A+ vs a sparring partner....

He looked great last night, but it's still to early to know.

I'd like to see him in with John, Lopez and Caballero. If he defeats those three, then he is surely the best fighter under 140.

hell yea i agree.... im just stating it now so that if/when it happens, i can say i said it first lol.... but i think he ko's all three tho

[Shadows]

no, i have not them all, but ive seen alot... but point taken, ill revise

gamboa is the best fighter that ive seen below 140.

IMO it's a bit early to say that, but he's a great talent and prospect/contender and you're entitled to your opinion.

I enjoy watching Hozumi Hasegawa, Roman Gonzalez, Ivan Calderon, Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym, and Asnelmo Moreno.

He's good and explossive but what will he do with the likes of Celestino,Vasquez,Marquez bros,slickness of Casamayor,pressure 12rnd fighters like Diaz and Katsidis.these are the kind of fighters that Gamboa needs in his resume.Mtagwa just got lucky with the Lopez fight and it happens to alot of good fighters.Remember Sam Soliman how he almost beat Winky with his wild style and a greater boxer like Tito couldn't touch him!Well what I'm saying don't judge Lopez for his peformance against Mtagwa because Gamboa is more technically sound than Mtagwa.And Lopez might loose but he will give Gamboa the fight of his life!!!!

[Sweet Jesus]

Nope, either JMM or Hasegawa.

[lefthook2daliva]

Gamboa just cleaned the clock of a slow, tough guy that got lucky in his previous bout (think Bute/Andrade). Not a skilled boxer. He's got potential, no doubt, but let's see him fight a Rafa Marquez, Rocky Juarez, Chris John, or even Luevano @ 126. We won't even get started talking about guys like Ali Funeka and his weight class. For now. There's plenty of skilled competition around and a little bit north of his current weight class. Plenty of guys with much more technical ability and athleticism to stretch his chops on before we fire up the gigantor-****ing-hype train. Ya know?

I think for skill-4-skill there is at the moment, none like him. What I like about him is that he's a closer. Great fighters know how to finish and he has that killer instinct. I'd like to see him pushed a bit more the next round.

I think the Juanma v Mtagwa fight was a mere abberation, a club fighter just swinging for the fences. I do think however that if Juanma and Gamboa do fight, that Gamboa will finish Juanma off. I noticed in the Luevano fight that Juanma just takes too many hits AND he swells up like no other. I didn't see much pop from Luevano's punches, yet in the post fight, Juanma looked like he went 12 rounds. That worries me

Thats a bold statement, Ivan Calderon alone makes him look like a clown.

I don't agree with the TS but I think that "makes him look like a clown" might be taking it one step too far.
