Some of you may think it's crazy, but that would probably be because your image of Gamboa is still the solis fight.
I think Garcia can win this fight because of one thing......consistency. Mikey Garcia is such a fundamentally sound boxer-puncher...he's an absolute technician with pop. And he has no problem fighting at a methodical yet effective base.
Gamboa, in case people forget, has serious lapse issues. He takes rounds off and just has mental lapses. Against a guy as consistent and skilled as Garcia, that's going to be very difficult to get away with.
Now we don't know what kind of chin Garcia has yet, he can easily get caught in finished. But over the distance of a 12 round fight, I think Garcia can put in a workmanlike effort and break Gamboa down because yes........at the end of the day, he's more skilled than Gamboa. People mistake skill for athleticsm all the time.
