btw this is a fight id like to watch... garcia and john are the only people worth mentionning against gamboa. but unfortunately, bob won't give it to us. garcia, being a young mexican talent, has too much value. bob will NEVER risk him against gamboa.. maybe when gamboa will be 36 or something like that.. but unfortunately this is a fight we won't see while gamboa is in his prime

Mikey Garcia, no doubt, is a very fundamentally sound fighter that has a very solid 1-2 punch combination. However, he was still getting caught by Rafael Guzman who took the fight with 2 weeks notice.Now*
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.
It'll be interesting to see how he deals with the crazy speed and athleticism of Gamboa. If Guzman could hit Mikey Garcia, imagine what Gamboa can do...
With that said, Gamboa tries to be too flashy with his hands-down defense which cost him a knockdown against Salido. If he doesn't keep those hands up, he'll have trouble with Mikey Garcia.Comment

Agreed. Gamboa appears to be special, but it will only take a certain type of good fundamental fighter, not even a great one, to expose the illusion. Mikey could be one such guy.
That's not an intended knock on Yuri -- I like what I know of the cat and enjoy watching him -- just my call on his limits.Comment

Yeah,I think in a year or 2 Mikey beats Gamboa.I'd pick him if they fought tomarrow.Gamboa is very athletic but he gets hit too much.Much more than Mikey,Mikey got hit last saturday from a taller fighter,that happens.Mikey is better fundimentally & in boxing fundimentals usually beat out shear athletisism when 2 elite fighters face off.Comment
