Comments Thread For: Yuriorkis Gamboa Decisions Rene Alvarado in Lackluster Bout

[BOXEO _]

He looked rusty as hell but got some important rounds in. Hopefully he gets another fight this summer. He'll be ready for anybody at 130 by the end of the year.

Horribly boring fight. Cool, he danced around and avoided punches but didn't throw any. Why are 99% of Cuban boxers unwatchable ?

Because there is an obvious difference there,Walters was only off the shelf 5 months longer then he normally fight,he fights around every 6 or 8 months,the lomachenko layoff was 11 months,Gamboa 15 months inactive, and that's coming off of 1 fight with 1 year of inactive prior. that ain't the same thing and you know that......

dude enough of your bs...gambo fougth hylon williams of his last layoff...so explain that..

[My Low Place]

We will find that out when Loma and Corrales fight each other,you picked Corrales remember i pick Loma to school that dude,Well talk after that fight homie

i haventpicked anyone i just think that is the most credible fight at 130 since corrales is the real number 1 in the division...and since they took walters legs from under him befoe they fought.

I don't have to explain Gamboa's choices whom he decides to fight,it is none of my concern i ain't part of his entourage or team,nor am i a fan of his,i just stated he came of a long layoff which he did.

I never want to see him on my tv again. HBO was ****** for approving this fight. I would rather watch a golden boy prospect in a step up fight than Gamboa.

There was a time, not too long ago, when I couldn't possibly imagine someone saying something like this. Gamboa was absolutely electrifying for much of his boxing life. Electrifying. The Rios/Top Rank fiasco was the turning point in a once-promising career. Yuri took that layoff and he's never been the same since. And, frankly, I don't think he'll ever be the same again. Too many breaks; getting too old; too much bullshit. Not the first, not the last.

You are right of course, but I still think he have a couple of good fights in him, kind of when Duran fought Moore and years later Barkley, lets see what happens next...

I think the ability is there, but the will isn't. Even a guy as talented as Gamboa can't be a part-time boxer. Duran was special. Can't name too many guys like him.

walter had two layoffs close to each other ...and had to come back vs loma...lol even roy mentioned it during this fight that walters loma would have been much better if they got walters active...u going to disagree with a hall of famer and just random ole me to suck off loma?? stop it

[lopetego]

This was sad to watch. Gamboa used to be one of the most entertaining fighters to watch

He reminded me a bit of Pacquiao (who's also a shadow of his former self now)

His days are numbered. Loma will steamroll him if they fight
