Gamboa career progress?

I guess that's sarcasm?

He is into his 30s and his talent is wasting. I say he is going downhill unless he picks it up again. A few years ago he was on the P4P list and being called the Mike Tyson of the lower weights. He has fought a handful of times in the last few years and has no marquee names or fights on his record to speak of. He has looked pretty bad in his last two fights considering where he was a few years ago, looking somewhat vunerable in decision victories.

The lightweight division is weak at the moment which is bad for him in a way because he needs some good wins to propel his career forward again: I don't see that many fights out there for him, especially now that Broner has gone up

 

He should fight Mikey Garcia

 

Farrenas should have been a big warning, guys at 130 can take his power and can bang back. At 135 he's in trouble.

 

He is squandering his career. Guy has too much talent to be fighting bums and not getting big money. I just don't understand what's going on. Arum screwed the pooch by not having him fight Lopez a few years ago...I just don't know. Think signing with 50 cent was a bone head move too. I'd like to see Gamboa fight Garcia or some of the top guys at 135

 

He's with the wrong promotional team, plain and simple.

At this point I thought he'd have some career-defining fights against elite level fighters from 126-135, but his career is currently in a state of inertia, and who knows how much longer he has in boxing. He's already 31.

 

There's only one guy who can promote you the right way along if you're a super star potential and that Arum...love him or hate him. Gamboa should have just stood with Arum and let work his magic. Fighter like Gamboa should be making 1m plus a fight by now.

 

Him and Dirrell are both wasting they careers signing with SMS promotions is looking worse each day

 

Gamboa vs Garcia or Gamboa vs Crawford is what i wanna see

Gamboa had a tune up he needs a big fight now

 

This guy needs to go big or go home. So much hype and he hasn't done ****.

 

Gamboa-Crawford is a fight I'd love to watch....

I don't think he can mess with Mikey, though..

 

get that fork out he almost done

 

He's got a ton of talent but he's in the wrong weight class, plain and simple. Guys at 135 and up are just two big for him and his inability to infight will make it difficult for him to live up to 50's expectations.

 

These.

I've long doubted Gamboa ever approaching the lofty predictions most made for him. Too chinny and he wasn't ever that good that people should think he'd have gone undefeated had he fought top 10'ers twice a year for the past 3 years.

Couple of good notable wins but then nothing on his resume. He was more of a fad than someone who left there mark on the sport.
