    Champion before 15-0, thats certain. Hopefully he can make the featherweight class good again and get rid of that Chris John fraud.

    10 for footwork
    10 for hand speed
    7 for defense
    8 for chin
    10+ for stamina
    10+ for punch out put
    9 for power



    You don't need a 10 across the board to be a legendary fighter, this guy has it all to be able to go VERY far in boxing, "KO ready to happen"...get ready to bow down and lick Gamboa's nuts when he proves half of you wrong.

    Ive no doubt he will be a p4p fighter. Champ very soon and would KO the other hot prospect Khan inside 3 rounds.

    Speed- Impressive.
    Power- Impressive.
    Defense- Very suspect. Im a defense man.

    However his offense is very impressive but his defense is not. i like the hands up. How will he do against luevano who will try to outbox him. also what about John.
    If he moves up to feather how will he deal with Soto who can make feather and is a bit feather at that and will not go down from Gamboas shots.
    135 right now is way too much since the skill/power is much higher.
    At 126 he can definately rule. at 130 he better bring his lunch. There is no way he is knocking out Soto. And Soto can also punch. More than Jimenez.

    I hope the best for him but his defense worries me....

    A tough guy that Gamboa beat in a one-sided bout.

    I think its sometime in September. the Primm hotel is in love with the guy. People from Vegas drive out 30 minutes to watch the kid fight. (I was one of em)

    I think he's a Pacquiao killer if you ask me.
