Aleksei Tishchenko vs Yuriorkis Gamboa - Amateur

[The_Demon]

gamboa would carve him up if they fought in the pros imo

I think if Aleksei turned pro at the same time as Gamboa did, I think he would beat Gamboa. Just watching at this fight, I think Aleksei looks faster and more of a well rounded fighter, one asset being that he keeps his hands up more than Gamboa. Even now, Gamboa drops his hands way too much right in front of his opponents. It's not a good thing because he doesn't have the best chin in the world either.

Yep. Imagine if he fights someone with crushing power, Lopez for example, while coming in like that. He would really get dropped or knocked out.

I wonder how many times has Gamboa lost in the amateurs?

Yeah, he looks great but I think he does lack power.

You should also keep in mind that that fight was from the 2005 World Cup. Gamboa was 24 and Tishchenko was 20/21 yrs old, still improving and maturing.

Yeah physically he's very gifted but from a fundementals standpoint you can't even really compare them, Gamboa doesn't really have any.

Unfortuniatly i don't think he is turning pro though

lol aw look at the butt hurt Cuban. Don't worry, you can keep pretending like Gamboa is untouchable......until Ukraine's Vasyl Lomachenko turns pro in 2012.

this was in the 2005 boxing world cup.
russia totally dominated cuba (7 wins to 4 wins).

Yeah amazing tourny. The Russia-Cuba finals has

Rigondeaux-Khalikov
Gamboa-Tishchenko
Lara-Balanov
Despaigne-Korobov
Ortiz-Romanchuk
Solis-Timurziev

The Korobov & Romanchuk fights are nuts, the scores are up in the 50's & 60's. All the Cubans except Rigo lose.

The Russia-Cuba finals and Cuba-Kazakhstan Semi's are posted in the Trading Block.
