Comments Thread For: Yuriorkis Gamboa Beats Down Jorge Solis in Four

[Ravens Fan]

gamboa is a dirty fighter.He did like a 5 punch combination to the back
head of solis lol He likes hitting fighters when there down as well.

This is what I was looking for and I find it hard to believe that you and I are the only ones that noticed. I have not seen to many of his fights and Gamboa may have great skills and he is fast but he is also a pretty dirty fighter. Rabbit punches hitting the other fighter while he is down etc. In the other fights I have watched he was holding the fighter by the neck and hitting him and I know he is fast but is he really fast enough that no one else notices how dirty he is? But I do believe one of announcers stated, and I am paraphrasing, that Gamboa had to work on the fouls.

You can always tell who the teenagers are with how easily they are impressed. I can tell by the first 5 posts in this thread "Gamboa is a beast!" all of them basically saying the same sentence, that 5 kids just went online to buy a Gamboa poster for their room.

It happens.

Ummm based on what? From what I've seen both JuanMa and Gamboa have both been down before. I really don't see how JuanMa has greater power. Both of these guys have one punch KO power if you really look at it. And even if by some chance your stats were correct it wouldn't necessarily mean that JuanMa would win the fight.

Let me guess are you rican? Cuz from what I've seen the ricans are the only people that are posting that JuanMa can win this fight. Which I have to give them credit for since they are standing behind their countryman. But let's be honest here, while JuanMa is a badass who does in fact have a chance he won't win. I just don't see how anyone can see that.

I never said JuanMa will beat Gamboa. What I posted was my view on individual attributes, which isn't everything anyway because of styles. In fact, as I mentioned, I think that, on ring movement,

Gamboa >>> JuanMa

as some poster said before. Nobody moves like him on the ring at those weights.

About the outcome of the fight, I see it as a 50/50 chance and very difficult to predict, so I can completely understand if most people think Gamboa will win, given how good he is.

I can see JuanMa coming straight forward while Gamboa is throwing tazmanian devil hooks and moving to his sides. That spells doom to JuanMa. At the same time, I can see Gamboa eating a game-over straight right hand when he leaves himself wide open on reckless attacks.

So if I were in Vegas, I would not dare to take a bet on any of them, unless the bets are heavily one-sided, then I would risk some bucks on the underdog.
