Once again this spastic claims that handspeed wins fights. That's the exact same reason this moron picked Eubank Jr to beat Golovkin because Eubum had "faster hands". Incredible how stupid these bottom feeders are.
Gamboa schooled, battered and almost stopped a young, prime, hungry fighter by the name of Salido. He didn’t struggle with a faded wore out on his way out version.
And Lomachenko isn't one of them. By criticizing him, you look like a biased ass, who doesn't know **** about Boxing. Do I personally like Bud Crawford? No, not really. Do I troll his fanboys sometimes, sure. But I would never say he's some kind of unskilled hypejob, same goes for Mikey Garcia. Grow up. And if you deep down really think Gamboa would have "killed" Lomachenko, you literally DKSAB.
Where in my post are you seeing this “triangle theory”? Plenty of fighters have struggled with the shop worn Salido, Gamboa isn’t one of them. He gets sold short on his skills and was highly avoided in his prime not to mention being avoided by Mikey Garcia himself when Gamboa was his mandatory
All I’m doing is putting him in perspective. Nice fighter but overrated and he’s 30 whose been fast tracked lmao He’s not breaking records and when we put things in context which this board only does for hated fighters like Floyd and Ward. He doesn’t hold up. I just combat double standards and hypocrisy. Btw, Gamboa would’ve knocked him out. For being the matrix, dude gets touched a lot which is not trolling. It’s fact. All that fancy footwork and we get this. This content is protected Plus add Salido loss who is nothing but a gatekeeper. Stop hyping dude up like he’s the greatest thing that’s never been seen before lmao It’s not the case and I called this stuff out well before it happened. He’s not on a Floyd’s or even Pacquiao’s level. Really he wouldn’t of got by Gamboa if they ever met prime. Just telling it like it is. Btw, Crawford would annihilate Lomachenko if Loma really wanted to test himself and attempt what Rigondeax did. His skills are already reaching their cap when transferring up weight. He’s great by today’s low standards but he would probably get clipped by a lot of mediocre fighters like Salido in any other era.
Gamboa was a beast but he lacks the IQ, tenacity, discipline, fundamentals, and consistency to beat Loma.
19 fights into his career Gamboa struggled against Salido, Farenas, Perez and Ponce De Leon in the lead up to taking on Crawford. He was clearly on a downward sprial, anyone with half a brain cell could have seen that, I predicted the completely unproven at the time Crawford would KO Gamboa, that's how little I thought of Gamboa at the time. Gamboa moved up, took on the best guy, failed miserably, Loma moved up, took on the best guy, succeeded fantastically. It is what it is, deal with it crybaby. Facts are facts. Loma would tear Gamboa to pieces, and if you think otherwise, you need a drool cup. I don't give a damn about your truncated Ward, Floyd, Bud narratives, that has zero to do with Lomachenko, only in your mind is it significant. Just stop it. And for the record, Gamboa's in his PRIME signature win was a life and death war with Salido 19 fights into his career that he basically won 112-111 to the 113-110 range, people forget how close that match actually was. Loma arguably beat that same journeyman in his second pro fight, never went down, and took full control in the second half, something Gamboa and Mikey were incapable of. And SOWWEY, wins over Walters, Rigodeaux, Russell Jr. Linares any day of the week are levels above Salido, Farenas, Perez and Ponce De Leon. Gamboa loses any day of the week, and at any stag of his career to Loma. Forever and always. His best wins are Marriaga and Sosa are all level.
I disagree. Gamboa has extreme natural talent, handspeed and power. He puts punches together nicely on a high level and he was fierce. When he fought Salido, Salido was the guy crying to the ref during the fight. He relied a lot on his natural talent but the fundamentals were there.
Life and death struggle with a Salido. Go re-watch the fight dude. It was your guy who went life and death with Salido and got that “L”. Facts are facts. Gamboa has Salido crying to the ref. He gave Salido his own medicine. You’re boy of course is a victim. Facts are facts right. What I also find funny is how you clowns try to hype Lomachenko’s opposition just because he fought them. GRJ first title shot was the vacant against Lomachenko. That means he did absolutely nothing beforehand and hasn’t really done much afterwards. Walters was a shelved fighter who had to shed 40+ pounds and Lomachenko was actually taller than Walters. Rigondeax bro, seriously. So we’re counting that as if it wasn’t a mismatch? You’re seriously going to pump that up. If it were at a lower weight, it would be fine but they dragged Rigo up a couple of weight classes. Now we have Linares who has multiple KO losses but since he put your guy on his ass were hyping him up now. We have mediocre Salido beating your boy and now mediocre non-elite Linares landing combinations all night and flooring Lomachenko. Old Pac probably puts him down multiple times so they better find another easy mismatch like Rigondeax and Marriaga. We already know they will not put this man against Mickey. There’s a blue print. I’m sorry you fanboys believe he still has a granite chin and he could beat Pac and Floyd and outboxes Gamboa easily but it’s not the case at all. He couldn’t tear old man Salido apart and he’s been taking punishment even when showboating against guys like Marriaga.
