Gamboas been knocked down

[-Reflexes-]

Just like I don't see how pointing out that he's been knocked down makes any kind of sense.

So what?

What does it mean? What does it prove?

Nothing.

Wasnt Pac KO'd early in his career. How did he turn out?

Sugundo Macardo?? Ever heard of him. He dropped Hopkins twice in one fight.

Somebody give me the name of the guy who dropped Winky over an over.

Julio Cesar Vasquez

You can't compare a guy with so little experience to a hall of famer. I don't care if you are just looking at his first fight, first 16, or last fight. It's not a fair argument.

MMMMMMMMMMMM 400+ amateur fights , 15+ years in boxing , 2 olympic medals , he does not have little experience , he does have major flaws , man and I see what ur saying , everyone gets caught off balance , and most likely if the guy has a lil pop , hell put u down , but to do what he does is kind of undisciplined , he starts swinging like crazy , he gets heated when he gets caught , and that makes him explosive , against a good counter puncher with good speed , he is not going to have his way , he wil get hit

a few times already in his short career... I'm just saying.

Yeah with elbows and **** on occasion.

Nothing.

It's the same as pointing out that a fighter lacks power in one hand, or that he doesn't move his head enough, or that he's lacking in footwork. I'm just pointing out the obvious that all the nuthuggers are forgetting. I know we all get excited for the sport when we see a new upcoming and exciting fighter such as Yuriorkis, but this is an obvious flaw in his game; I'm just reminding people of it is all. People who are so anxious to see him a star want to ignore this, but it's a fact that can't be overlooked, and I'm sure the greater opponents in the division have noticed it as well.

[CrackYourJaw]

Yeah, he's great. He just needs to be a little bit more disciplined and has a few flaws to correct, but who doesn't?

[407BoriKua]

true he's been down 4 times..but guess what..he got up 4 times and ko'd every guy that knocked him down

no he hasnt one fight forgot the guys name he got knocked down and the fight went the distance gamboa won on decision though

[DeelDough]

The highlighted sentence is particularly accurate. I'll go one step further: Yuriorkis Gamboa loves to put on a show. In his effort to make a spectacular display, he sometimes gets too reckless.

Every one of Gamboa's four knockdowns are on Youtube for all to see. In my opinion, he's never been hurt. They've all been flash knockdowns, of the sort that Tito Trinidad was prone to. In every case Yuri has come roaring back to demolish his opponent.

I don't like the fact that Gamboa's gone down so many times so early in his career, but for the moment it's more of a concern than a problem. We'll see what happens when he gets hit flush by a guy like Juanma Lopez.

I cannot believe this is coming from a cuban!!!!!!!

Alberto Cortes

Anthony Stephens

Luis Campas

Oba Carr

What do these guys have in common? They all knocked down the great Felix Trinidad only to get KTFO!

^ It happened to Tito also.

I Believe his name was Darling Jiminez.
