Finally many of you have realized what myself and jaycuban are telling you since his first pro fight... I had the pleasure to enjoy two of his fights from ringside, seeing the rest on TV. Though, I must note that he fought very sloppy in front of his "home" crowd in Miami compared to his fights in Germany were he was fighting more focused. I think and hope that this was just about being his first fight there - if he can come down and not being over-confident when fighting there then he's for sure a future world champion. For his next fight: I think his promoter Ahmet Öner will choose Germany as the venue for his first shot at a minor belt, then going back to Miami in February/March next year to expose him to the American public via SHOBox...
yes, he is a Shane 2.0 (the mid 20 at 130-135) in offensive abilities but not in defensive...not yet.
gamboa keeping his hands down/ showing flaws is just him probably showboating his awesome talent. no doubt when the competition steps up he'll go back to a more traditional style, no amateur coach much less a coach in the cuban system would teach putting you hands down, and i'm sure thats been drilled into gamboa's head since a he started boxing. i'm very impressed with this guy. with his skills he looks to have the potential for greatness. vamonos gamboa!
Maybe Roy Jones or Mosley at Lightweight? Do you think that Gamboa will lose his speed with age and may end like Jones?
he is a mix of mosley-mayweather he will reign at lightweight for a long time its just the beggining of the cuban era in boxing...
He looks very promising and I'd be shocked if he doesn't pick up a few World titles . After taking a big step up with De Jesus recently I wonder who will they match him up with next .
