Gamboas new trainer

Something like that isn't something being told can fix, he needs to do rounds upon rounds upon rounds of sparring with some sort of punishment if his hands drop.

I hope he improves it, but I think the other thing against him is his height. He's already struggling to make weight from the reports we read, he's got no business at 130-135 being 5'5.

 

Yeah, that's about the reaction I had when I found her today... sorry dawg, I'm leaving you in suspense for awhile. :smoke

 

How much longer can he stay at 126 if he's already struggling with weight? Considering he'll also start having greater distances between fights as the fighters he face become more talented, how long can he sustain 126? He's not getting any younger.

 

135 is going to be a tough division for him. Trouble is, that's where all the money is going.

The more I think about it, the more I think the key isn't going to be teaching to keep his hands up, it's going to be teaching him where not to be with his hands down, namely while throwing combos at short distance. He might be just quick enough to get away with that, even if it is a ticking time bomb.

 

I highly doubt he Gamboa could consistantly fight at 126. He was chisled against Jimenez and still came in weighing 140 lbs.
