    I agree Khan is overhyped and Gamboa is a very accurate puncher(maybe doesnt go the body enough for me)damn now I'm starting to lean slightly towards Gamboa:lol: :lol: but with Khans good reflexes and athleticism I could see Gamboa getting floored if he's not careful.
    How do you feel about Khans power?

    He has pretty good power but not devastating power. I think Gamboa punches with more authority and has more power. It's like this.. I'm sure Gamboa can take what Khan can dish out but can Khan take what Gamboa will dish out to him? Willie Limond put Khan on ***** street and down and out and he's a straight up fighter and not fast at all and only has 8 KO's in 25 fights. Gamboa is super fast and very strong so if he hits Khan which he will then Khan will fall I'm pretty sure of that.

    Gamboa is the favourite, and i would go with Gamboa. But it would be a tougher fight then a lot of people think, TRUST ME!

    Khan is very easy to hate for some reason also....I think people hate him because he looks like Hamed:lol: :lol: :lol:

    It would be a difficult fight for both

    It's not a close fight. Khan is good, yes, but Gamboa hits harder than an 95 year old cancer patient.

    Gamboa KO.

    I think your really doubting to much of Khans skills and giving too much credit to Gamboa......and I'm not much on Khan

    How do you see the fight playing out and do you really think a victory would be so easy for Gamboa?????

    I think the fight would be very edgy for the first two rounds. Both men are realy quick, so would be comng in and out with quick punches. Khan would be afraid of Gamboa's power though, and wouldn't let his hands go like he usually does. He has an advantage in size, reach and speed so he'd stick on the outside using those advantages to keep Gamboa at bay. I think he'd win both of those two rounds and then when he grows in confidence, would start throwing more and more punches. If he does that, he will get caught by a quick counter eventually. When he does, he'll get hurt and then Gamboa will capitalise and finish the job off.

    If Khan has the right gameplan, he could take it pretty late, but I don't think he would. In a lot of ways, this fight would be similar to the St. Clair bout, in which Khan did the same thing. He was winning easily by using his natural advantages and then decided to unleash combinations. The difference is that Gamboa is not a sitting duck and would come back.

    Gamboa KO 3-5.

    Good point Jack...however I think it goes to the later half of the fight for a KO for both fighters

    Don't you think Gamboas risky hands down style will get him into trouble?

    Gamboa rules the fight by fear in some ways with his opponent being afraid to throw first....I think thats the key really(think Campbell-Diaz), Gamboa will be in trouble when encounters a fearless, well-rounded conventional fighter, with great reflexes, and in my humble opinion it could be Khan, it's really a matter of weather he brings his balls in the ring with him

    Cheers:good

    KHAN, all day everyday.

    GAMBOA IS WAY TOO COCKY, AND GOT EXPOSED.

    he dropped his hands for the second time in his careers, and for the second time he got knocked the **** down.

    If he does that against khan, trust, he wont be getting back up

    Khan's a china chinned joke, even Jimenez would starch him, the guy can't take a punch. Gamboa would swarm him and little Khan would freeze up and get taken out.

    For christs sakes, he struggled with Willie Limond!:lol:
