Well Gamboa is 28 Salido 29, the advantages were in natural talent, not in profesional experience, and he did put a hurt on Salidos, actually after the 9th round it was all Gamboa, Salido was on his way out when the clash of head occurred, and in the 12th when Gamboa hit him on the floor, (his own fault).
gamboa is overrated. he has quickness but thats all. he doesnt have timing. he cant endure up to 12 rounds. he cant last 5 rounds with LOPEZ.
You r right, in his last 10 years he has 3 loses (counting the one against Cristobal, which to me was a robbery, and he fought him again and won easy) Alejandro Gonzalez, La Cobrita(2001), and Juan Manuel Marquez (2004), going the distance every time. What happens with these so called fans is, that they think by bashing Gamboa it will help Juanma, they all are Juanma fans, I'm talking about the real bashers and haters, not the fan that is giving his opinion. They are not use to c a bunch of Cubans making a wave in the big time show, for 50+ years we just have trickles of brilliance in prof. sports, now we have more, everywhere, MMA, Boxing and Baseball just to mention the most relevants. And again Juanma NH, please don't b calling Salido a c fighter, he is World Class Boxer that worked very hard since he was 15 years old, to b where he is now.
Who cares if you are not impressed. He will keep on winning no matter who is not impressed or who bashes him. It's very obvious that non-Cubans will never be " impressed ", the hate has just started, get used to it as the Cubans are just arriving and they will not go anywhere anytime soon. There's an old saying that goes, " if you can't beat them, join them ". Use that phrase for all the Cuban boxers... :hey Gamboa= WBA/IBF World Champion, ( in 19 pro fights )... Lopez= WBO World Champion, ( in almost 30 pro fights ), who is more important ??? :-(
Everyone saw the punch land, and he didn't went down, when he threw his that hit nothing but air, he went down, it could had going either way, you c Cortez ruled that a knockdown, but Salido visited the mat not once but 3 times and Cortez only saw one.
Before posting on a boxing website, i suggest you learn the difference between bad balance (because of bad positioning/footwork) and bad chin. Thanks.
Hermano, quick advice to you, " don't waste your time arguing with these people who will always find something hateful to say about the Cuban boxers ". Can't you see that no matter what good point you tell them they will always fire back with a hateful remark ??? Te vas a gastar el keyboard discutiendo con esta gente, no tienen solución... La única solución es que encuentren a Dios atravez de Jesús para que Dios le cambie el corazón lleno de odio, orgullo y superioridad que tienen. Jesus is the only one that can change people's heart, without Him this World is pure chaos, hate, prideful and sinful !!! Blessings to you my Cuban friend... :good
No I don't think it is a Cuban thing per say, I think whoever is a treat for their idol, that is it, no matter which country the fighter is from, now on top of that you are talking about a country that is been winning in every major event for more than half a century, and you get this.
