Listen I like Gamboa, but its NO WAY he can beat Broner's bigazz, are u kidding me, he is the same size as Floyd, and Gamboa has great skills, but questionable chin, and/or gets out of position. Broner is one of those fighters who strives to be perfect. Not saying he is perfect, cuz thats just not the case, but he's one of those guys who tries to make few mistakes. He has defense, Gamboa's little azz cant beat Broner, and I think he gets stopped.
This fight WILL Happen. Floyd said along time ago, he wanted them to fight, and ever since then Broner has been calling him out, so he can beat him and impress Floyd. Gamboa just got signed by Floyd, so I think it gets made realistically, very soon. I almost believe Floyd will have them fight on one of his undercards, now that he can fully promote himself without Goldenboy. Imagine Gamboa fighting on a Floyd undercard, or him fighting BRONER on his undercard, man that will SHAKE the boxing world, even tho fifty doesnt know anything about the sport.
I always gave him props, I been said he has skills, but he cant do anything with a guy who has defense, as Little perez showed. Im Giving Broner the same props I always gave him. He did good with Escobar, but styles make fights. Esco was kind of square in that ring. I just want to see what happens when he fights a guy with Defense, and Glass Jaw Lundy, will make it a good fight. And remember, the only reason Lundy gets dropped, is because he gets wreckless and lets his hands fly too much. Imagine if he fought a boring fight, and threw less punches, I think he would beat Broner, but he's stuck in his ways.
Gamboa by close UD with a big chance for an upset by KO for Broner. FOTY type fight regardless of outcome when you have 2 speedsters with power like that. My 2 fave fighters.....I used to not want this to happen for a few years but Broner might be as ready as he'll ever be so **** it in the spirit of having great fights I would love to see this even though it means one of my favorites taking their first L. I'd favor Gamboa 55-45
Will never happen. Up and comers will be fed **** fighters like Escobedo or Alfonso Lopez or Soto Karass or Marco Antonio Rubio or Sebastian Zbik or Nobuhiro Ishida or other borderline bums/gatekeepers such as these and they will put it on HBO to try to convince us that it is a "title" fight. Seems that when we get a good fight it's something that occurs by accident like Lopez vs Ortiz, not becaue two good fighters were actually pitted against another. This **** is getting old and lame. . .who the **** is Escobedo? Robert Guerrero's recycled left-overs, gimme a break! And Broner couldn't even fight this bum fair and square. Broner couldn't even decisively beat a primitive slugger like PDL, who an equally primitive slugger like Juanma absolutely demolished and we have all these *****s riding this hypejob's ****. As for Gamboa. . .when we thought we would get a good fight vs Rios, some way simply had to be found for it NOT to happen, and then came up all the promotional BS and we were left without Gamboa-Rios. So. . .unfortunately Gamboa-Broner will NOT happen because it seems to be a crime in this sport nowadays to actually have rising stars face one another.
Gamboa is one of the few guys who would have a style advantage over Broner, imo. He has the athleticism and speed to step across him and take advantage of Broners wide stance and go to his blindside. Somewhat like what Roy Jones did to James Toney.
Broner by stoppage. He's too big for Gamboa, matches him in speed, has better defense, atleast equal power, and better chin.
Broner by KO or TKO.....late. Styles make fights....in this case Broners' style will be a "problem" for Gamboa.....even though Gam is a little faster....with more power....his defensive flaws would be easily exploited by a patient and composed Broner.
