Does Gamboa have any chance against Tank Davis?

[Flo_Raiden]

Does Gamboa have one last good performance in him against a young prime KO artist like Davis and gives him a tougher fight than expected? It would be interesting to see if he's able to pull off what Donaire did by turning back the clock and give Tank absolute hell until the final bell.

As much as I want to see Gamboa fight his heart out till the end the big difference would be his chin and recklessness. It would be a huge surprise if he makes it to the distance without getting dropped.

I dont see how Gamboa doesnt get knocked out in this one.

No, he's washed up. They are cashing in on his name recognition, which basically what Floyd did for his biggest wins.

Unless Tank is packing serious glass in his chin, no, Gamboa doesn't have a chance. He's facing a real puncher, and he's not avoiding those bombs for 12 rounds. However, that doesn't mean he won't have success. He can make Tank look bad in spots with his boxing ability, but making your opponent look bad is long way away from winning.

Gamboa is similar to Amir Khan. Because of the speed, you can expect them to have success up until the inevitable...Jelly Legs and Austin Trout Poses

With his speed and power, he does have a chance.

I’ll be pleasantly amazed if Gamboa pulls an upset. I just don’t see it. Not after what Yuri has looked like in recent fights.

If it goes 4 rounds I'd be shocked. Gamboa is washed and has no chin. That's not the best combination when fighting a young puncher if you ask me.

That's why I like boxing. They have to lace them up and get in the ring.
For all the claims of rigged fights and corruption, I still go into a fight believing anything can happen. One mis-step, one off-night, a rejuvenated or motivated veteran...

Gamboa could definitely turn back the clock like Nonito did and Tank certainly could have an off night. It's boxing. There will be another upset before the year is over, IMO. It's the nature of the beast.

[Mister Wolf]

The answer should be no. If he is then it's an indictment on Davis' ability.

[Flo_Raiden]

I do think that the first 3 or 4 rounds could be an absolute barnburner, hopefully FOTY stuff. The fight depends on if Gamboa's chin holds up or if he doesn't get tagged big in the later rounds. I'm no sure why people are so against this fight, on paper this fight can be a really entertaining one however long it lasts.

.....unless of course Gamboa gets blown out early.
