Is there room for improvement? Certainly. I just think Gamboa's gone about as far as he's likely to go, in terms of boxing ability. I don't think any trainer can make a big impact at this stage. In fact, trying to force the issue could hurt Yuri.
I have no worries. I think Gamboa is an amazing fighter, regardless of any flaws. Yuri has improved his defecnce and, as in the Ponce bout, he's shown that he can win in a different style. Too bad Gamboa isn't a little younger, I think he's a special talent.

Seems like we took over this whole discussion and everyone else gave up.

Now with that out of the way, broner is in fact much bigger than gamboa. i'd pick broner's clear size advantage, power & chin over gamboa's speed advantage, albeit slight. It is important for you to understand that I have no bias here & I like neither fighter.
But the fact is broner is bigger, stronger & I'm under the opinion that his chin is superior. The only advantage gamboa has is speed & not by much either.

I like both fighters but I gotta go with Broner on this. Im assuming this fight would take place at 135 and I dont think Yuris chin holds up over 12 rounds. Yuris been dropped by lesser fighters in the past plus his defense if suspect. I think Broner wears him down.

both fighters have advantages and disadvantages in this fight. anyone who doesnt see that is just simply being biased. is it an assured gamboa win? absolutely not. is it an assured broner win? absolutely not. i lean towards gamboa, but broner certainly has more than a shot. he has more than a few advantages over gamboa.

Agreed. Gamboa has more *pop* in his punches. I think that, among equally sized fighters, Yuri hits remarkably hard. If you apply the same criteria to Broner, he probably "only" has above average power. Gamboa's highest division might well be 135, while Adrien can easily fight as a welterweight some day.
