**GAMBOA vs LOPEZ**

[reneg_2]

I want to know some none biased opinions...how does this fight go down? who has the edge?...

Please no rican or cuban fan bases glorifying their fighter. Just want an honest opinion stated and bounce...

My opinion, it comes down to gamboa's speed vs lopez' power.

MAKE IT HAPPEN!

there are cuban fans here? i thought gamboa's fans were former roy jones fans.

It comes down to me to whether Lopez takes full advantages of Gamboa's occasional recklessness. If he does, he may stop Gamboa with a big shot and can certainly win a decision. With Gamboa's speed though, that's easier said than done, and if Gamboa doesn't give him many openings he will definitely win.

I think Gamboa is getting there, I'd take him by close decision right now.

to tell u the truth, I cannot say about this fight, i just cannot predict how it will end up....

I think if Juanma works on a constant jab and a 1-2 he could take it, but if Gamboa catches Juanma and wobbles him it'll probably be over....

I say this fight will come down to Gameplans, cuz both have crazy ability, I wanna see how Gamboa reacts to Juanmas power...

very true homie. i think both can blow each other out the water any given night given the right gameplan.

I'm a fan of both, but I'm not completely sold on either guy's ability to take a punch. That just add's to the interest of the fight I suppose.

I would favour Gamboa though. He's a better boxer, he's faster and he also has that power to end a fight quickly. Juanma would have to hope his size and strength would negate Gamboa's speed and it very well could, but I'm not sure. Speed is power for me.

Gamboa has the natural athletic advantage.

JuanMa has the experience and boxing advantage.

I think BOTH fighters are prone to getting hit. Gamboa can get reckless and JuanMa's defense isn't the greatest.

For me, I think it will come down to JunMa being smart and not getting into major exchanged with Gamboa because I don't think he can match his speed and power, even though JunMa is a very strong puncher himself.

JuanMa has to break him down, where as Gamboa needs to hurt him early and make JuanMa go backwards.

We saw JunMa get hurt vs Marquez and instead of relaxing, he went forward and left himself very exposed. If he does that with Gamboa, he gets put to sleep.

I think this fight is a toss up. I think it's either a early to mid round KO for Gamboa or if the fight goes longer, JuanMa has the advantage.

i agree, especially in the bold, I think Juanma packs more pop in his punches IMO....

Now Gamboa with the speed and power that he has, just poses a grave danger to Juanma, thats why I'm saying THE JAB, will be a key to a victory for Juanma, a jab and a right hook from Juanma will do the job, and working Gamboas body too....

idk why people think this fight is even close...

I know that you cant measure fighters by common opponents but.... Lopez Barely escaped the Rogers Motagwa fight on his feet while Gamboa Destroyed him... For what it's worth.

I've only seen Lopez fight twice and thought he was a well rounded boxer but nothing spectacular.

Gamboa would win this easily by decision... Could win by KO if he cares to get wreckless.
