juanma's technical skills are better. i'm not comparing ponce de leon to gamboa but that's how will it end. mark my post!
I think Gamboa has better technical skills than Juan Ma and he's faster and more athletic. He also has power in both hands. I think Gamboa's speed though will truly make the difference. I respect Juan Ma enough to say Gamboa wins by UD, but I would not be surprised if Gamboa by KO.
They both have such TERRIBLE defenses and such weak chins. Either guy can win this one, but I'll take the sharper punching and faster hands of Gamboa to get the job done. I'll take Gamboa to win by stoppage.
I really like Lopez with his heart and determination .. but it's really hard to go against Gamboa's power combination speed..
Gamboa superior fighter all around but three aspect why he should win: hand and foot speed, power and athleticism....
Lopez by knockout I feel, see saw battle but a counter right hook will seal the deal. Just to put there comp into persepctive. Lopez record against top ten ring contenders - Ponce De Leon, Penelosa, Luevano, Concepcion and Marquez. 5 - 0 with five stoppages. Gamboa's record against top ten contenders - Salido 1 - 0 with no stoppages.. When people point out Juanma struggling then its worth noting the differences in the level of comp. As for the Mtagwa fight that is taking the worst night of Lopez's career versus the best performance of Gamboa's, its not worth reading that much into.
