Not enough offense/defense transitioning. Someone that can optimize his strengths would be the best. Not someone that would neuter him. Everytime you neuter a fighter, they look hesitant and confused in the ring, because they're trying to look a certain way instead of fighting.

I think Sr. may get criticized too much for that. He use to throw alot of combos when he fought and in every interview now he says that Jr. needs to let his hands go more and put punches together. I dont think he would try to take away Gamboa's offense to much but I dont think he will just let him swing wildly either

He wants to work with him but still have his father in the corner.

I just think there are better guys out there for him. I don't know which guy is the exact perfect fit, because a lot of them have their pros and cons, but I feel like Floyd Sr. is the most prone to neuter his style.

Kind of like what Steward does to a lot of fighters. It works on some guys, but not for others. I feel like Gamboa falls under the others category.

I actually think Loma's father would be a perfect trainer for Gamboa

it would be a good move

vs salido he could have been much better

not making an issue to the ref about low blows
not telling loma to lowblow back
not telling loma to utilise his quickness in the exchanges like mayweather does

Yeah, they're looking at bringing Floyd Sr into the Gamboa camp, but it seems he'll be an "addition" to Yuri's father Carlos. I don't know what they mean by that. Does the elder Gamboa remain as head coach, or does he remain as assistant? I guess we'll know if or when Floyd Sr is hired.

Yuri has been adamant about keeping his father as his trainer. The statement at the bottom of that article is a reprint from his Facebook page. Gamboa has defended his dad very poignantly.

Good point. I think overall it was just a bit too much/overwhelming for Loma at that point.

There wasn't much adjustment in the mid rounds but they figured it out eventually (too little too late) but he looked really good in the 12th round and hurt Salido.
