Comments Thread For: Chris John: "I'm Ready To Fight Gamboa and Juanma"

[Spray_resistant]

If ever there was a boxer who can find a way lose a fight it would be Juarez. This is a guy who would be on a 4 fight losing streak were it not for shady scoring and a punch that landed on the right place at the right time against Barrios. Juarez defeats himself with lack of activity. It would be the same against Gamboa and Juanma. BTW getting 'caught' both times in the 12th? He burned out and had been getting hit with big shots throughout the fights. They were few, but were getting there. Gamboa and Juanma will present more than a few shots and I don't believe that John will have the convenience of being 'caught' just the 12th. He'll feel consequences of the Gamboa's and Juanma's power and pressure much sooner. Either he'll burn out quicker or just get caught sooner.

We will have to see how good they really are and if they can hang with the best at 126 1st.......I mean between them in like what 45 fights the best opponent I see when looking at their records is Luevano who is best known for being in that barn burner with Billy Dib.

this is an interesting fight as long as its not held in indonesia to avoid controversy

A.C would be great, especially since it'll make it much more convenient for me to see.

To me it seems John is on a different level. Guys score an early knockout and fans say wow he's that good. knockouts can be decieving

They going for champs at this division. That's what on their agenda. Elio Rojas, Chris John, Cristobal Cruz are the current champions. No doubt in my mind that they can beat Rojas and Cruz. John seems to be the best title holder. Juarez and de Leon bring some intrigue to the division, but Juarez was discussed and Gamboa probably won't bother cleaning up the left overs from de Leon. If I'm missing any other serious fighters who aren't 'green' let me know.

I would go to indonesia to watch this fight and bet on Gamboa lol but want it fast i want to see what Gamboa can do with the now Chris John since i dont think that puppy has many more good miles on the tank But hes still a great fighter but i think Gamboa's Mix of a prime RJJ and A mini Tyson could handle him .

It's not solely the KO's. Break them down and Gamboa has obvious physical gifts. He's incredibly fast, strong, and maturing with every fight. This is a guy who has gold medal and was bred for boxing. Gamboa is good, maybe not great yet, but the potential to be on a new level is endless. Imagine when he perfects his craft and you mix in his physical talents. Then Juanma is a guy that gives it all. Maybe not as glitzy as Gamboa when he fights, but he gets the job done and in convincing matter for the most part. BTW like I had said earlier look at John's record. Outside JMM and Juarez he's stayed on the oriental coast and has fought guys on a lower level than Juanma and Gamboa. Either one of these guys are a step up from his usual competition.

i think he would get over lopez but no way he beats gamboa

This is a champion talking. He may or may not be able to win, but he's not talking about building a fight up, or ducking and running. He said "I'm ready". Bravo.

[Iceta Lives]

John loses to both of them.
