Am I the only one here who thinks Gamboa/JuanMa will a pick 'em fight?

i think that derives mostly from gamboa making mental slip-us than it being a chin issue. as you saw none of the punches hurt him. the guy got clocked with an elbow for christ sake and still knocked his opponent out lol. but going against a dangerous pressure fighter like juanma, i think gamboa would be wise not to come in immediately swinging for the fences. he would be much more precise and tactical. it would be a barnburner plain and simple

 

never really read into that guy, is he any good?

 

im the same i have no idea who wins this

 

damn! that guy has got some hands! would love to see him and solis go at it. if we can rip solis away from the buffet line lol.

 

perez looks a good prospect, however judging him against the likes of howard daley is very misleading, would like to see him stepped up. solis perez im guessing would be huge!! is there any rivalry between the two of them ?

 

wanting him to get down to 230 seems a little optimistic as i dont think hes weighed less than 245 as a pro, frustrating as he seems to have all the tools, the barret looks very impressive

 

no gamboa would knock him through the ropes

 

yeah he can get away with it with the journeyman type fighters but if he thinks he can scaled above 250 against teh K brothers, tua or audley harrison hes gonna get beat

 

I was never sold on Lopez. Despite Gamboa's questionable chin, I expect him to beat Lopez and look good doing it.

 

Yeah Perez is a bit of a mystery. I remember there was talk of sending him over to the United States to get some exposure on some FNF stuff but I don't know where that went.

 

For me right now Gamboa takes the fight. Too big, too strong, too fast, etc. However, I want to see how Juanma developes in this weight class. If he fills up the weight well and becomes a strong featherweight I think Juanma has the style to stop Gamboa. But with Gamboa's explosiveness and athleticism it feels like anything can always happen. It will sure be interesting to say the least.

 

I like Gamboa in this match by about 80-20%
