Gamboa is the real deal, I wasn't convinced before but some of the guys he's beaten have ended up not being no marks and actually being quality featherweights.
The thing that stuck out to me in gamboa's last fight wasn't his power, but his defense. I was impressed at how good his defense has gotten. He seems to be more focused also in the ring. Before he would see to get trigger happy, but he seems more patient now
