    I favour Gamboa as well, but given that both are in Arum's camp it might mean they don't fight each other unless its a unification fight.

    Would be over in 6 explosive rounds either way. Athleticism and speed alone wouldn't be enough for Yuri, he still has to work on pro boxing fundamentals such as adaptation, timing and better overall defense. Gamboa is the naturally more gifted athlete but JuanMa might pull it out due to a more complete and effective style (even if he's slower and still somewhat hittable). Since there's time for Gamboa to improve and adjust to prizefighting, I wouldn't predict for the future because it's up to Yuri whether he can reach that next level, but as for today, I'd pick JuanMa by KO.

    Its just people and their hype. Hopefully we can get these two in the ring to settle it.

    The way it's looking Gamboa's either fighting Elio Rojas or Caballero next.

    Still good, I'm hoping that its Rojas that way JuanMa can fight Caballero next.

    Care if I save this quote for the fight?

    I think Gamboa is on another level. JuanMA does have two really bad habits, one of which he's built his career knockouts on, and thats pulling his pants in between shots, and repeating the left hand right hook routine over and over and over.

    Gamboa is going to catch him in an exchange, trust me.:smoke

    Nobody is invincible, but JuanMA has those bad habits that a guy with Gamboas experience and athletecism can exploit.

    I say Gamboa knocks him out, brutally.
