    I still marvel when i think of how well Gamboa was able to use all his skill and experience to hide the fact that he only had one foot, couldn't get leverage on his punches, keep a straight face, hide his pain, fight hard, keep a young strong skilled kid like gervonta at bay, and basically bluff his way through all those rounds with a terrible achilles injury. Regardless of his loss, he showed he's a boxing master
    Yep. A true boxing fan can never question the man's heart. And to exhibit that much skill in that fight, under those conditions... speaks volumes. I wish him the best in his comeback.

        Achilles like knee injuries are hard to recover from. Wish him well but not expecting too much.

          He's a name now man...a 38 year old former featherweight. I'm as big a fan as any, but he'll never beat the top guys and might get hurt trying.

          All for him making some money. Tough SOB and fun to watch. This comeback thing tho...

            He's a tough SOB with still a few tricks up his sleeve.
