Gamboa vs John orderd by the WBA. Must happen this year

Must admit I am looking forward to this one.

 

ideal :good.

can see gamboa stopping john

 

Another "potential" fight. I'll be delighted if its made but I'm not convinced John will agree to this match up.

 

A lot of intangibles here...very intriguing bout that i would love to see. I think John would cause Gamboa a lot of frustration. This fight would tell us so much about Gamboa.

 

I've not seen Gamboa fight for a year or so. How is he progressing?

 

Love the avatar gazOC.

Love this fight if it happens

 

Still as fast as the duracell bunny on speed, still boxes orthodox for 1 round then drops the hands and punches from silly angles and still gets caught unbalanced=flash knockdowns. oh yea still an entertainin lil ****... I like him!

 

John's fight to lose right now.

 

Yea its all about timing and it might be right for John/too soon for Yuri but you never know it could be the breakthrough fight where Gamboa puts it all together and gets a massive win.

With some guys like Naz/Calzaghe you gotta praise the trainer for letting them fight in their unorthodox way as trying to change them would hamper their success. I just think with Gamboa as exciting a fighter as he undoubtly is with his style there's increased risk obviously, rein him in a bit keep his speed and he could be a massive force in world boxing. I actually think its a disadvantage in his case letting him do it his way

 

Yeeha!

 

cant wait, if John is sensible and boxes well i can see him frustrating Gamboa and winning on points

 

Whats happening with John these days? Wasn't there rumours of retirement because his wife didnt want him to fight anymore?

 

haha how funny wud that be. Coincidentally if that were the case and he retired, would anybody else see him as similar to Calzaghe? Both would finish undefeated and been champions in long reigns but face some criticism for only fighting abroad (the US) late on in their careers. Plus both of their most impressive wins would be considered controversial :think

 

Last month John gave an interview saying he still has another 4 years left.

“I am confident that I will be able to defend my title. So I expect to hold on to it for as long as I can before I turn 35, when I hope to hang up my gloves,” Chris, who turns 31 in September, told The Jakarta Post on Thursday.
