~ The Yuriorkis Gamboa Bandwagon ~

Gamboa isn't ready for John since he's only fought a C+ level fighter ONCE and didn't look faultless either. Gamboa has a lot of proving to do before he deserves such a fight.

 

He's got a good start. He needs work on hes defence a bit but he looks promising. Definately exciting to watch.

 

LOL.....be easy. He's got the TOOLS and TALENT to be the future, but he's far from it at this point. Given his preformance on 10/4 only solidifies that he needs to be brought along in a controlled manner....progressively getting harder and more dangerous as he is moved along.

Let's be honest...Gam is a great talent, has a lot of AM experience and is young. But the man needs to work on his "D". His beard is decent but he CAN be KO'd. He almost got KO'd on Saturday against a guy who isn't even ranked.

Gam has to work on somethings and eliminate the bad habits he picked up from an extensive AM career.

 

Why would it stop?:huh He was clipped by the bow from a fighter whom was definitley not in Gam's leauge. Had the fighter across from Gamboa had been a top contender or ELITE....that bow would have been a flush right hand rather than a missed one that was followed by a elbow. And if that was Valero that Gam faught on 10/4 he would have been KO'd for sure.

 

he has already been knocked down and hurt by 2 journeyman. :rofl

What do you think is going to happen when he has to fight a top contender?

 

He still has to get some more fights till the title

 

Yuriorkis "glass jaw" Gamboa???....who would join that hype train?

 

wow, are u a fashion expert? the guy can wear whatever he wants

 

It would be great news if he signs with GBP, since they're the US co-promoter for Linares and John. Makes it a lot easier to put good fights together.

 

**** this bandwagon

 

Elio Rojas? That's kind of a lame opponent. Guy's recently been beaten by Gamaliel Diaz, who's been whooped by just about every top fighter out there (although I heard the fight was a robbery). I would have hoped it would at least be against Jose Rojas, who's at least beaten some good fighters.

It's an interesting prospect-prospect fight, but it's a joke if it's for a belt. Rojas could be dangerous though. He has good power when he sits on his punches, and is a decent boxer with decent speed, so he has a puncher's chance.

 

i think he is the future...i like him a lot, but he needs to get some basic fundamentals together first. He has amazing speed and skills, but his D is leaky.

 

I guess it would depend on how many BAD dates there will be in January. I'm pretty sure that on the 17th they are doing the Duddy/Hearns and Kid Chocolate/McGirt, Jr. doubleheader. The next week, WCB is probably doing Margarito/Mosley.

I'm looking forward to this if it comes off.
