Once again I say that Juan Manuel Lopez KTFO gamboa...

Gamboa is the "Edison Miranda" of 126...he will look like a world beater against class B opposition, but he will outclassed by smarter, more disciplined fighters like Juan Man Lo.

Juan Man Lo is surprisingly poised for his age...he showed great maturity against a tough, rugged aggressor like Ponce De Leon. He didn't try to stand and trade with Ponce. He waited for his opening and took advantage of the overly aggressive De Leon.

Gamboa will suffer the same fate. Maybe not as quickly, but he will get caught coming in.

 

didn't see the fight...did he show off that amazing chin off his again or what?

 

He was floored in the 2nd round from a straight right hand against world beater Roger Gonzales

 

I co-sign that. But I am in no rush to see Juanma going up in weight. There are a few good more lucrative fights at 122lbs right now. And I don't think Gamboa is going to wait for Juanma. He is going to get KTFO before Juanma gets to him.

 

I think Lopez is just too slow and plodding for Gamboa. Gamboa needs a solidtrainer that works well with controlled aggression....I'd hate to say it but Freddie Roach would actually be a great choice. He needs someone that will have him using his great attacking skills (not someone like Manny steward who would try and fail at making him a safety counter puncher) while keeping his hands up and using defense and better less predictable head movement as he attacks

 

Juanma better stay away from Jhonny though.

 

Freddy might have a chance to fix him. But this is not a typical 13 fights boxer with 30 or 50 Amateur fights. This kid has been fighting for a loooong time. And right now, Juanma can knock him out.

 

I was at the fight tonight, and I saw De Leon fight at the forum a few times, and I don't think Gamboa will ever even reach the level where he can hang with Ponce. He's just too flawed. That wasn't a huge punch that Speedy landed but it turned his head right around, and he was also wide open for counters - at least it looked like to me - all night long, but Gonzalez wasn't able to capitalize on them because he too often went into a defensive shell.

I honestly don't see Gamboa getting past any top level fighter. Not hating, that's just what I see. Anyone capable to punching with him during his flurries will probably drop him and stop him.

 

I was at the fight too...did you see El Feroz??!!:yikes

 

Gamboa is just power in both hands no more

juanma by ko in the first round
