can any one say holy ****...this dude got powwwweeeerrrrr!!!!i know that mtagwa was easy to hit but **** he got gobbled up in there...ive seen mtagwa take bombs and go 12 and not with just juanma...im officially on the Cuban Express...juan ma is a good fighter but this cat is going to be great
Damm!!! I missed it!!! I heard that Gamboa blew away Mtagwa, can somebody please describe it for me and in what round did Yuriorkis won? Thanx...
I haven't seen him since Seeger and I'm extremely impressed with his maturity from what I've seen tonight. So professional.
Round 1 Mtagwa wastes no time coming forward. Gamboa sneaks in a left that makes the fans react. He ducks away as Mtagwa tries to corner him. Mtagwa tries to jab his way in. A flashy left-right combo catches Mtagwa and staggers him a bit. A counter left smacks Mtagwa as he comes in. The speed difference in both hands and feet is obvious right now. With about 15 seconds left, Gamboa sends his foe to the canvas, though he doesn't look badly hurt. Franchise: 10-8 Gamboa Uatu: 10-8 Gamboa Round 2 It was a left that caught Mtagwa leaning forward that scored the knockdown. Roger takes some wild swings but gets the worst of an exchange. A left and a right crash home for Gamboa. Another left-right combination makes Mtagwa wince. A left to the body and a right upstairs send Mtagwa down again. He's back up but has over a minute to survive. Gamboa lands about 10 shots in a row. Mtagwa crumbles along the ropes, and the ref wisely calls a stop to this one. The winner by TKO at 2:35 of Round 2... and still WBA featherweight titleholder... Yuriorkis Gamboa. Kellerman gets a word with Gamboa, who surely can't have too many interesting things about this fight. He says he wanted to show more but had no reason to tonight. Wisely, Gamboa feels not much can be read into how he did against Mtagwa versus how Juanma did. He is ready to face Lopez or anyone his promoter puts in front of him.
To all the Juanma Fans...That's the way you're supposed to WIN AGAINST A JOURNEYMAN FIGHTER. What really pissed me off...was the large number of Juanma fans trying to excuse his SHITTY performance by saying that Mtagwa was a Legitimate Contender and something other than a Journeyman. Personally, Gamboa should'nt waste time with Juanma. There are plenty of Really good fighters from 126lbs-130lbs. I would like to see Gamboa fight Marquez or Vasquez at 126lbs, Chris John, Rojas...even Christobol Cruz would be a better fight than Juanma.
I could say the same about Lopez. He shouldnt waste his time with banana boat and fight either Vasquez or Marquez.
He's fighting much smarter now then he was before. If he continues to improve, the little guys won't have a chance of beating him. Now I have to clearly favor Gamboa over J.M. Lopez if the fight happens.
