Gamboa is the best fighter in the world below 140

[Dan...]

Funny how Lopez stops a world champ to win a title in his second weight class. On the same night Gamboa looks very good knocking out a respectable journeyman, on his way to his first title shot. And Gamboa is getting all the press.

I agree that JuanMa should be getting more credit than he seems to be for what is a very good win, but I think the main issue people are picking up on is that Gamboa anhilated a guy that JuanMa went life and death with. That is understandable IMO.

prime Calderon makes him look like a fool, right now a aging Calde UDs him close P4P wise



Calderon right now, beats him, P4P obviously, Prime Calderon wins like 10-2 in rounds.

Ok. I will respectfully disagree.

I know, I've just learned not to pay any attention to any triangle theory nonsense. IMO, the Mtagwa fight was a combination of not taking him seriously, being slightly weight drained, and having a terrible game plan.

And I'll have to watch it again, but it seemed that Gamboa's stoppage was a bit premature. Yuri had him hurt earlier, but the final knockdown seemed a bit suspect, like he just caught him off balance.

Either way, I just need to see Gamboa in there with some world class comp before I'm totally convinced.

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.

i second that, especially in the skill category, marquez before moving up to 144 i think would beat him based on his countering, chin, and they way he can break down an offensive fighter like gamboa. the same way he did against pac. and i think rafael marquez and vazquez could have had a shot before there trilogy. skill wise he is the best i have seen but i have not seen his chin against a warrior like vazquez and marquez. you need more than skill to beat those 2, cause they will exchange with you for 12 rounds straight and they can take a punch with the best of them. his speed and movement against mtagwa were very impressive though, and his style is great to watch.

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

That is straight up bull**** and wishfull thinking from a hater. Look how swollen Juanma is Lol

even still, id still pick him over every fighter below 140, with the exception of jmm, because im not sure if he counts still..... i mean he looks like hes on another level compared to everyone else down there.

he fought ROGER MTAGWA stylisticly his style was made for roger juanma has more technical style. Anyways member triangle theories dont work in BOXING

I definately agree with this. I am a long way from being convinced with Gamboa as of yet. Right now, JuanMa has a higher standing with me.

I would really like to see Gamboa take on Chris John next.
