Prime “fresh off the raft” gamboa vs Loma. Who you got?

[Larry the boss]

Loma has a better boxing brain and can adjust well in fights..Gamboa is pure natural talent but seems to lack real IQ IMO

[NC Uppercut]

Yeah he was a bad ass before someone caught on to his style, but before that he could have whooped anyone

Yeah..:before 50 got him..

[Fists_of_Fury]

Lomachenko has a weak chin..that’s quite the reach...

Being dropped by bum ass Linares surely doesn't make him have a good chin lol. He clearly has some glass he's protecting. Even made the excuse that 135lbs. is more than his natural weight but he rehydrates like a 135lber.

[SuperSuperLeeds]

What's a good fight to see prime gamboa, I didn't pay much attention to lower weights(still don't so much) back then

[FinitoxDinamita]

Im going to have to go with the cerebral fighter over the athletically gifted one.

Loma wins....

[JohnCastellanos]

Would’ve been a great fight. Tough call. Gamboa hit very hard back then. Fast as lightning and crazy athletic. Loma is more skilled and more defensively responsible. Nice fantasy matchup.

Are you forgetting Gamboa whooped Salido long before Salido whooped Loma?

[Fists_of_Fury]

Loma would have sonned him!

Loma is the sonned. Salido is his Papi. The Uber driver showed the hype job that the pros aren't little boys in the amateurs.

[Blond Beast]

One beat Salido and one was sonned by Salido . Both have weak chins. I would've favored Gamboa at one point in time. I still at Crawford being put on ***** street by inactive and blown up Gamboa.

Right. Me and my brother were trying to psyche up for this Tank fight remembering just like u said that a blown up Gamboa had a good fight and even hurt Crawford. I think the world of Crawford so it nice to be able to give Yuriorkis the credit. He still has fast hands, I just wish they weren’t so dang short. His chin is out there and we know it’s not granite. I hope Tank missing weight at first implies that he might not be in the best shape instead of just being too big for Gamboa. Even in a loss I hope there’s a tip of the hat for Gamboas performance.

Nope, I remember that. But I don’t believe in triangle theories. Besides, Loma fought Salido in only his second pro fight. I think that it’s difficult to choose between prime Gamboa and today’s Lomachenko. Would’ve been great to see; that’s for sure.

That’s my hope, that Gamboa deliver a respectable performance. He’s obviously not given any shot at winning by those in the know.
