    Any information is appreciated, I heard he beat Juanma Lopez in the amatures. What impressive victories does he have as a pro?

    Is he the guy that will ultimately KO Gamboa?

    hes very talented but its hard to know how good he really is when he keeps fighting cab drivers and japanese food delivery guys.

    I might get smacked around for this..but when I first saw him fight, he kinda reminded me of Sal Sanchez the way he was calm under pressure, and throws punches smooth and fluidly.

    Clearly a young good fighter whom you can not find any real weakness at this point.

    i think he can..despite being younger and less experienced, linares is more polished than gamboa and has the strengths to exploit his weaknesses.


    but watch out! here come the ****ing gamboa fantatics parading around how he's better than floyd mayweather already, has eyes in the back of his head, can fly on magic carpets, walks on water, has more speed than jones and more power than mike tyson.
