Eric Morales/Juan Manuel Marquez vs Yuriorkis Gamboa, how does Gamboa do.

EM by KO.

I have it JMM by TKO EM by KTFO

 

Prime ? Has Gamboa even hit prime yet ?

 

I don't think so.


Gamboa right now would probably lose to both of them (prime).

But the 2 fights would be EPIC!

 

Gamboa would put up a great great fight in both cases; but Marquez would eventually figure him out after some even rounds, and land some hard counters to put him on the canvas and eventually stop him. It's a bad style match-up for Gamboa, because Marquez sets up his counters with lateral and back-stepping footwork, taking away the punching angle and neutralizing the normally dynamic and blinding offense that fighters like young Pacquiao and Gamboa are normally able to give. He had underrated power at the lower weights as well (hence the name "Dinamita".)

Morales would just put a beat down on him from the beginning, taking a lot of punishment and losing a few rounds, but ultimately winning the war of attrition, proving to have way too much firepower and durability for Gamboa. He'd place the right shots time and time again in exchanges, and wear him down until he's just done. I don't even think it would make it to the later rounds.

Not that I dislike Gamboa, either; the dude is one of my favorite active fighters. He's just not proven enough to create a scenario in which he wins against these two very smart ATG warriors.
