Comments Thread For: Gamboa Officially Diagnosed With Achilles Tear, Calls For Davis Rematch

[ThatDude44]

I noticed him turning his head looking at his corner instead of his opponent at least twice. Once in the clinch and once when they were both standing in the middle of the ring. If Gamboa's foot wasn't all fsked up, I wonder if he could have pounced on him during the latter break in attention, because he got a few licks in during the clinch distraction.

I watch him and Teofimo sparring and he did it there also . Thats a bad habit he has.

He hurt after Tank dropped him.

They believed it after MIA after the fight. Something doesnt add-up.

Cuba should build a statue of Gamboa for this alone or get in the hall of fame for going nearly the entire 12 with one leg against a rising superstar blue chip talent! The odds of him making to the 12th was like near Andy Ruiz odds vs AJ in first fight!

Conspiracy theory: What if Gamboa had partial rapture and cheapened out to make a proper surgery and then accidentally ruptured it totally?

Otherwise for what a fkind sake did he make TWO MIAs and refused from surgery???

It was plain to see. You don’t have that flat foot just from pain, you’ve lost something mechanical there. Expect the usual “but my friend Tim couldn’t even stand when that happened to him”.

You exaggerating, tim did stand, move, went the 12 & won the fight.

i still think Tank would have given gamboa the "L" , but it would have been a bit more competitive. Gamboa could have had more movement and would be able to sit down on those counters as well. tough break , i mean tear.

"A bit" more competitive? Are you nuts or just a Davis fanatic? Do you even know how serious an achilles tendon tear is? It puts athletes in other pro sports out for up to a year. The fact that Gamboa fought with such an injury from the 2nd round on and Davis couldn't stop him until a mercy TKO in the 12th round should tell you that a 100% Gamboa would've given Tank serious problems.

I read a few times on this site that Gamboa would only need a month max before going back to training. Didn't think the injury was bad at all. Maybe he had some shoe issues.

Idiot... shoe issues... officially diagnosed with tendon tear.

Ok, lady Maxi, but why not address what I said: the reports just a week or couple of weeks ago, on here, stating Gamboa would resume training in a month? Try one year if the tear is real.

Would Gamboa sideline himself for a year on a fake injury? Maybe he'll find the Pacman cure, saltwater.

Let's see how it unfolds?

I never saw any report saying a month. Want to post the link? All I saw was Gamboa saying he’d “hope to be back training in a month”. And the usual boxingscene troll skewing the quote to suit his agenda.

Said it before even having it properly examined.
