    Hi,

    Im a big Cotto fan and I become really a Gamboa fan. I really enjoy seeing Gamboa fight. Its clean, not a lot of clinch and precision of the punchs.


    Anyone think that Gamboa style look a little bit like Cotto style? Or you think its completly different?


    I would like to know your opinion.

    Not a bad comparison. Gamboa looks like a beast. I think he is going to be the goods.

    Very diferent gamboa is far more faster and accurate with his punches than cotto.

    What in the hell is a badwagon? Besides, what's wrong with Gamboa picking up more fans as his career progresses.

    Love Cotto and can see where the original comparison came from. It will be interesting to see how Gamboa continues to develop.

    Cotto is one of my favorite fighters. IMO Gamboa is alot more gifted atheticly than Cotto. Gamboa reminds me of a more skilled version of Pac. Looked spectacular in his last fight.:happy

    If i was comparing him to anyone it would be Naseem Hamed - short, fast, KO power in both hands, good counterpuncher, doubts about his defense.

    I'm a Cotto fan and I like watching Gamboa. His handspeed is phenomenal. Lopez isn't ready for him yet.

    Gamboa looks more like Pac than Cotto, at least when punching. They are both fluid, nonstop, fast, accurate. I've been a fan since I first saw him fight. He's got the style I enjoy watching.

    I don't find they fight alike really at all. Very different styles. The Cotto that we haven't seen lately is the one where he really digs to the body and has a bruising style. Where has Cotto's left hook to the body gone?

    Gamboa throws sharp punches with ruthlessly sharp shots to the head.
