I Think Yuriorkis Gamboa Should Move Up To Light Weight or Light Welterweight

[BritishBoxing92]

I mean this dude looks HUGE for a Featherweight...dudes got impressive KOs, Good movement and power punches...who else here thinks he should move up to light weight or Light Welterweight??? i mean look at him in this picture



seriously first time i saw this guy i honestly thought he was a Welterweight or a Junior Middleweight...come to find out the dudes a Featherweight i was there thinking WTF? i reckon he will do good if he moves up as well..

dont forget he is 5'5" but i think he would do great against taller opponents with his headmovement and his explosivenes

thats where the moving up in the weight comes in....im sure when he moves to light weight or light welterweight he will get stronger,better and faster

He looks that way because he is muscular and short hence the stockier appearance than someone like Juanma, who has more height for that weight to be stretched over.

I think he could move up to LW at some point and maybe even LWW it depends though, because looking at how beefy he looks at feather he might be too chunky at higher weights and may not be as mobile either.

he would do great at Lightweight IMO

He's been boxing so many years that it's hard to believe he wouldn't be fighting as his optimal weight now.

He's rather short, so don't know how far he could honestly move up and retain his quickness and power.

I think he's great where he is at.

he looks good at feather i think he should stay there until he is done with the division

And there is plenty of work for him to do there.


Can't wait to see him in action again in a true championship fight.
