Comments Thread For: Gamboa Dropped Hard, But Defeats Gutsy Farenas

ring rust only happens if they let it happen. some older fighters come back from layoffs & a surgery looking sharp, Gamboa would get crushed by Salido in a rematch.

I disagree with everything you wrote. The only fighter I know of that can take fifteen months off and come back looking unaffected is Mayweather. And even Floyd is showing signs of slipping. Gamboa did what he could during his layoff. He trained and stayed in shape. But training and fighting in the ring are two different things. Everything considered, I thought Yuri looked pretty good last night.

As for Salido: Gamboa handled him with relative ease in their fight. That's a bit of an accomplishment, as we've really seen what Orlando can do since then. There were no questions after that fight. None. What makes you think anything would be so different in a rematch? Has "Siri" improved so much? Don't bet on the Gamboa you saw last night show up to fight Salido. A replay of the first fight is much more likely.

And 2 weeks ago Gamboa was calling out Floyd? LOL hilarious. I am no Broner fan but Broner probably stops Gamboa. Gamboa is highly skilled and amazingly fast but he just has so many lapses. At the higher weights I think he is going to have tougher times.

Gamboa will soon be Exposed once he steps up the competition, he knew it would've happened vs. Rios which is why he flaked out of the fight!
