    I don't understand why nobody gave Gamboa any chance in all these posts. Not one person picked him. Gamboa is a very good boxer.

    War Gamboa!

      In my view, this would be no upset in terms of opposition faced or anything else relevant to the cut all fight.
      All it would do is, derail the steam train of a fmj managed fighter, talented but unproven against this level of ops.
      However, we will all inevitably be saying “Gamboa was finished anyway”.
      I’m goin with Davis on a late stoppage but I want Gamboa to win.

            I thought I was editing the post. But no, instead of fixing it I duplicated it.

              Truer words have never been spoken.

              I also want Gamboa to win. Gamboa has thecskills and power, it’s his conditioning at his age that will betray him. If he comes in shape I can see him getting robbed of a clear win.

              Gamboa’s career could have been great. There’s no questioning his skills, it just sucks that he may never even make it into the HoF yet real boxing aficionados know what kind of a pedigree he is.

                how many gamboa fights have you seen in the last 4 years? he has nothing left. he barely beat hylon williams and alexis reyes. he was beaten to a pulp by castellanos and easily beaten by jason sosa. its like saying roy jones will beat a top guy because you just saw the jeff lacy fight. no, hes done.

                  Lol Sad but true. What good is it to even mention the fighter Gamboa once was? Who he is now is what counts. He’s got nothing left. I just hope Yuri doesn’t embarrass himself.

                    I think his conditioning sucks and his legs are gone but he’s still mid thirties so he’s not old but I can’t argue against you.

                    I have seen him get beat but I’ve also seen glimpses of his old self in the first three rounds so like any fan, I am hoping that the history with how TMT promotions handled his career might evoke some sort of resurgence out of pure vengeance.

                    Just maybe. But sadly I agree with your assessment

                      Gamboa is older than Timothy Bradley.
