I didn't see the fight but to me Gamboa is finished after the fight with Castellanos he just hasn't realized it yet time to retire if he can barely pull out an upset against nothing but an 8 round fighter..

Gamboa was done after his previous fight. He was getting manhandled by a guy who couldn't carry his jock just a few years ago. He quit in disgust with himself. Yuri should've stayed gone. This latest fight shows nothing has changed, nor will change. The denial is real.

I didn't see this fight but not surprising he went the distance. He has just 1 KO in the last 6 years. He looked tiny as phuk in the weighin photos
He looks like a midget and can't carry his power above 130. He was always easy to hit but at the lower weights he used to be so explosive and a big puncher. But he's too lazy and undisciplined to make featherweight. And doesn't have the boxing fundamentals for these bigger dudes. Wasted too many years inactive with promoter drama. Signing with 50 Cent really ruined his career.

Pairing him with another fighter at the end of his career such as juanma hey its 5 years too late but that's a fight I still want to see. If not an older fighter then a young fighter trying to take a step up or a top fighter coming off a loss needing a rebound. Those are the type of fights in gamboa future.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostGamboa turns 36 in December. He's chasing a ghost now. I get the feeling that after the Castellanos debacle, Yuri went into full denial mode. Now it's like, "If I train harder, I'll get back to my old glory." It's not happening. Gamboa frittered away a natural talent that's quite rare. It ain't coming back.
I feel like he should just retire, it's too late the years of stupidity have caught up finally.
