He wasn't tired at all, are we watching different fights here? And only by a 4 point margin for Mijares, this fight was scored very dominative by everyone I've talked to and aside from the scores, Munoz was beaten very badly and Mijares looked like he could go 15, it wasn't a close fight on the scores and it wasn't a close fight in the battle.

Munoz is a B+ fighter, Mijares schooled him, what else does he have to do?:think

Seriously, try to find a poster about that gave Munoz more than 2 rounds, most just gave him the 1st, then a middle round or a middle round even somewhere when he did take a round off.

1 dimensional? He showed that he can do multiple things.

He showed he can pressure, counter punch, fight inside, rough house inside with great strength(I hope you noticed his strength was very evident), swarm etc.

He just needs to develop tacticality, which comes from more training and more experience, then he'll know where and when to use all of his strengths , Guzman used to be the same way as Gamboa, but has since become a more tactically sound fighter with his physical gifts.

Here's the kicker, Gamboa's got better reflexes and power than Guzman, so the high hopes placed on him are still very much in tact and the defence you want to see realistically is just minor adjustments, I'm serious, nothing to worry about.

And his speed and reflexes are A+ level, they are absurd, he's the quickest guy in boxing bar none.

 

Looks like Malignaggi-N'dou is about to start- I'm picking Malignaggi, for the record.

I think it'll look very similiar to their first fight.

But N'dou is a strong guy, he isn't a pushover. Malignaggi's going to have to be as sharp, if not sharper, then he was during their first outing.

 

I just don't know where you are getting these idea's though, no disrespect of course.

But he did show great composure and relaxation against Jimenez, after getting KD'd he adjusted a little and then came back stronger and dominated him until the end.

I used Guzman as an example of an improved defence over time, he used to war with his speed and reflexes just like Gamboa's been set to do lately. Very similiar fighters.

Tacticality comes with experience, the pro games are different from the ams by a long shot. He's got some to learn, but his assetts are as top as you'd want them.

I know a gem when I see one. Spotted Mijares immediatley, for example and he's just about to become the undisputed champ here in a very good division. So I think when we give guys like Bute the total benefit of the doubt despite flaws and others, like Pavlik, but then take down improving fighters like Mijares and Gamboa, who have much greater potential, is not right.

 

For another example, Guzman at 27 was a similiar status. Guzman's better defence use of tacticality came in the last 3 years.

Though, let me clarify, at 122 Guzzy was a beast. At 126, against that smaller opposition, Gamboa would be a beast even with no improvements. John, Linares and the lot just can't compete with his speed and ferocity.

BUT, the bigger guys at 130-135 are mostly elite fighters, so he's got his work cut out for him.

 

I scored it a draw, personally, terrible fight. I wasn't going to be the least bit annoyed if N'dou was announced the winner.
