Please don't level Gamboa with Lopez.

That's only in the 4th round. Are you saying Vitali didn't whooped Sanders cause Sanders had Vitali on ***** street in the 1st round?

 

Gamboa also lunges in with arms wide trying to land a big punch while coming forward. Other, much lesser fighters than Lopez have been able to time him coming in and put him down. Lopez could end it like that.
One thing that's for certain pertains to another comment on this thread, Gamboa would absolutely not beat Lopez by outboxing him. He'd have to knock him out to win. He's not on Lopez's level as a boxer. He's just got that hand speed and power that could possibly get the KO.

 

true. but the bold cannot be taught...gamboa just has it. and for his limited body of work, he's not super young or anything like that so he does need to figure his footwork out. but footwork can be taught. rafa landed some very nice flush shots on juanma that gamboa has the speed and reflexes to follow up on. i would favor juanma from what i've seen but i think a lot of people underestimate gamboa's chances in this fight.

but juanma looked great tonight.

i just can't stand seeing the slide-shuffle as they are introducing him...that belongs to my boy jermain taylor

 

***** street, what fight were you watching. He was hit with all kinds of punches in that round and his hands were still up while asking Marquez to throw more punches...:huh

PS didn't you make a thread saying if Juanma doesn't KO marquez in 3 you would quit ESB ?

50-50, guys!
