Somebody tell me how Orlando Salido is ranked above Gamboa? Didn't Gamboa beat the **** out of him already!
Gamboa's inactivity. Salido has had like what 5 fights or so since Gamboa's last appearance. But I like your style... Let's get a retired Margarito on the list he beat the **** out of #3 Martinez.
Is that how boxing works? Somebody beats you and they're forever ranked above you no matter what you each go on to do afterward? :think Because last I checked, Salido is a currently active champion with two defenses while Gamboa doesn't have a belt anymore.
:good And no Gamboa did not beat the **** out of Salido. It was a very close fight which could have gone either way. Dont let the ridiculous scores you read on boxrec fool you.
No it wasn't. Other than a flash knock down in the middle of the fight, Gamboa dominated every second of that fight. He probably should have been DQ'd when he hit Salido when he was down, though.
I thought it was a very clear victory but not a shutout or anything. TS needs to put the pipe down too.
Wow like I said boxrec warrior. Do not be swayed by the scores. You do remember Gamboa was also deducted 2 points at the end plus the other point for being KD. That is a 3 point deficit right there. Also Salido had some very good rounds in that fight as well that made that fight very close. If it wasnt for the 2 point deduction yes it would have been a clear Gamboa win. However going by the scoring is what made this fight much closer. and last thing YDKSAB!!!
Say man, you are trippin.. I watch that fight. Gamboa kicked his ass! it wasn't even close. It just wasn't your typical Gamboa beat down because Salido is a talented fighter. I watched the fight live. I remember when they fought, Gamboa was knocked down and deducted two points for punching Salido on the grounds and he still won a unanimous decision. A fighter would of had to really get out boxes to lose badly on all scores if they gained 1 point for knocking the other fighter down and 2 points for being hit while on the ground. Now that is the truth!
That fight with Salido was suppose to be a tune up fight before Juanma fought Gamboa. So don't use Juanma as the reason why he is ranked above Gamboa. Forreal!!!!!! Think about, we are talking a the pound for pound list...lNo the weight class rankings!!! why is Salido rated over Gamboa?
Maybe because Gamboa hasn't done **** for alomst a year, and Salido has been whooping KTFO everyone put in front of him ever since his encounter with Gamboa...Including the guy who was at the time ranked the best in the division (JML).
