M. Garcia vs Y. Gamboa. Who do you have?

[LA_2_Vegas]

it's been hard to tell where Gamboa is for at least 2 years. Can't be that confident in the assessment but I'll give thoughts on it. Last time I saw him, the thought passed through my head that he's heading down the path of being shot..he's mostly still Yuri, but I think his reflexes have depreciated more than a little.. to me, he's not getting off with punches like he used to. He was springing up from knockdowns in the past, but now I think he is more prone to having damage build up throughout a fight. But even with that, he might still have the dynamic speed to shake Mikey, and befuddle him. I could def see that. Reminds me a little of Pac-Barerra, in the dynamic vs static type of element. But nowadays, I just don't find Gamboa as furious as Manny and with even the slightest dropoff due to age, etc., Gamboa might find it hard to get through the jab of a disciplined Garcia

i would expect a highly disciplined Garcia to take little chances and stay behind jab and outbox him to a decision

Gamboa is to inactive to step in with Mikey at the moment. His wide looping shots and misses against lesser fighters, will get him Ko'd Pacman style.. Mikey is to accurate for him..

Mikey is at the top of his game, Gamboa's been out for 2 years . At this point rios beats Gamboa's ass!!!

Tough call, in my opinion. Two years ago, Yuri would've pasted Mikey. Today, after all that inactivity and listlessness, I have to give the edge to Garcia. The one thing I would truly love about this fight is that it would motivate Gamboa to get back on track. That would make for a dangerous "Ciclon," and a fight that might surprise most people...including myself.

Check out my sig. put that for the Cubans....B, LOL if the fight happens Mikey would break Gamboa down to a ko tko before 10 rds.

Seen Darley Perez time his shots and land on Gamboa. Seen Farenas drop him. I think Mikey gets the stoppage

Darleys is a good, big counterpuncher and that was at lightweight. Farenas is massively underrated and hits like a truck. He is no question in my mind one of if not the hardest punchers south of 130. Hes nicknamed ''Hammerfist'' & for good reason.
