Broner if nothing else has very, very fast hands. He's explosive. Gamboa is of course one of the fastest fighters in the world. Whether Ponce does **** poor or well, will the recent fight against a fighter as fast as Broner help him out here as well?
It couldn't hurt.. Broner is fast, but Gamboa is on another level. But, I see how just having fought a fast handed fighter like Broner could somewhat have helped Ponce with this bout.. Especially confidence wise, because he, in many peoples eyes won that fight.
I can see relations such as Broner is very fast ( not as fast as Gamboa ) and powerful but Gamboa is a whole new ball game. I think it might be a little helpful but I am a Broner fan and Gamboa is Broner multiplied by 2. He won't beat Gamboa but since Ponce De Leon and Gomboa are both action packed, risk taking fighters it will be a back and fourth war in which in the end I see gamboa on top.
I think broner is more dicsiplined so it should help, but gamboa's speed is another level, but I think he can draw him into a war and not a boxing match
Broner fought very negative, backpedaled all night. I've got zero doubt Gamboa is easier to hit then a defensive minded Broner.
Ponce is going to be way to slow for Gamboa I don't care how you look at it, this fight will last as long as Gamboa would like it to last.
Yes, Broner a G and he performed very well against him, Juanma was just wrong for De leon and the way PDL stormed out the gates led to his downfall... I hope he is more Patient with Gamboa to give us an Interesting match.
+1 Ponce's chances reside with low activity from Gamboa (??) and a couple of accurate bombs. Otherwise Gamboa KO/TKO early to mid rounds. Either way I think the Under is very tasty. Best of luck to Ponce though!!
The answer= NO. Ponce while being very slow ( against fighters with decent hand speed ), has very bad technique. He throws his punches wide open and picks his shots one at a time. Gamboa is 2 times faster than Broner and 3 times more powerful, plus Gamboa also has that incredible amateur career to help him. Does Ponce have any chances against Gamboa? His only chance is a wonder power punch and for that to happen is as difficult as gargling water upside down! Oh and Gamboa can also take a good whack too, he actually has a better chin than what most of you think. If Broner ( who is nothing spectacular ) was able to land at will then Gamboa is going to pick Ponce apart in less than 6 rounds. I feel bad for Ponce, he is a very nice person and all Mexicans should be proud of him. Very humble guy.
