    i'm a fan of Gamboa, but he's really wreckless, has no defence and has already been dropped 3 or 4 times in only 11 fights. Although hes a beast and the feathers are weak at the moment this guy is gonna get starched sooner rather than later when he faces a big puncher or someone who can take his heat

    keep him away from linares, old larios, or even rojas. they'd all
    probably keep him down.

    yea they should really take this guys career a little slower. Hes great but those imperfections will get to him. Anyone with a good chin and some decent power will wreck gamboa.

    Yep, he's a ktfo waiting to happen. Too reckless. He needs another half dozen fights out of the lime light to learn to undo the stupid things he does that will ultimately get him ktfo.

    For a guy that talented he has a lot of flaws.

    His chin is far better than Khans. He just leaves himself so open in his assaults that almost anything flush is going to knock him off balance. If he could settle down a bit he would be fine. His chin is at least average, and he has always come back furiously every time he has been knocked down. He hasnt been shaky like Khan was

    Gamboa is a KTFO waiting to happen. He's fortunate that he fights in a very mediocre division.

    He's still a new professional who fought a guy with 25 fights and won by KO, give him some time before this bull**** criticism, when he's in his 20+ fights and still making the same mistake then sure but not yet.

    khan probabily has a worse chin, but gamboa has more flaws and been knocked down by weaker opponents comparing the same stage in their respective careers so far

    i also think khan as the style to maybe learn to hide his chin, although it may not even matter. however Gamboa's style is harder to change he has soo many bad habits

    Flash knockdowns happen to young fighters, but Gamboa is getting hurt. His hype machine will be derailed in brutal fashion. It seems that he doesnt get it, everyone that he fights isnt going to be this level, and all the crap that he does will cost him big time....
