    Gamboa is flawed and needs work. Firing his trainer was a good move

    Hate boxers that come with all the fanfair and fools like you an d meny others are blinded by the light...

    fact- two KD on his resume, one a true KD...he was hurt

    fact- he has major defensive deficiencies...

    fact-he is 26 years old, not a 19 or 20 year old...

    Ok once you canrefure those then we talk..and yes he is no Meldrick Taylor...

    ..as I mentioned the fact that his seocnds never address his terrible defense and low hands let me to beleive they never address that on training...bad move in the pros....this is not amateur

    why you keep mentioning Meldrick Tatlor?
    As if things had gone great with Taylor.

    1st KD was not a KD to anyone who saw it

    2nd KD was a flash knockdown in fact I don't think Gamboa's ass even touched the canvas, just his glove and a knee

    by the way folks, he was not down from a immidient punch, but like on his last fight, he is subsetible to the left hook and look at the left hook that DeJesus plaster him him with in the exchange before the KD....

    and i don't have a gif but the punch that landed before the slip against dejesus was a right hand

    In the exchange right before the so called knockdown, the one that you are talking about, De Jesus did not land a left hook, he landed a right hand

    No I haven't seen Ramon fight. But then I didn't say anything negative about Ramon did I?
    I will try and find some footage of him and if he is good I will follow his career with interest as I do any talented new fighter, unlike you who only supports PR fighters and trys to disparage and criticise any fighter getting plaudits who is not one of your heroes.

    Gamboa was not badly hurt. His legs stiffened he went down, his hand and knee touched the canvas, and he stood straight back up again. He was not even close to being stopped at any stage.

    And don't try and make out that I am blind to his weaknesses, try looking at some of my past posts, I mentioned him getting tagged too much a few weeks back and have said repeatedly that he is wide open to counters.

    But I am objective and not a bias hater like you.
