    I could see him at 140 way down the line. His frame isn't that different from Manny's.

    Gamboa has already said that he wants to move up to 130 and 135 lbs after he wins a title at 126. He might move up to 140 since he was in the neighbourhood.

    I definitely jumped the gun on this one. I love the guy, but he's too flawed to get to where I originally predicted.

    He is looking way better now, calmer, choosing his punches better, keeping his defense up.

    I agree, I like when fighters make the necessary adjustments early in their careers they are only exploiting their potentials and Gamboa has a lot of it.

    Bump For obvious reasons... Gamboa was very impressive tonight ... I think everyone at 126 knows that they might be in trouble

    i think he will have a cotto like career

    will be in tough fights for another two years will be vulnerable
    but tough too

    then someone will dominate him and he wont be the same again :think

    He will be an ATG. The first truely great professional Cuban fighter. p4p 1. I honestly can't think of anyone in boxing that has more upside. **** this **** about hsi chin he;s never been hurt just caugh tleaping in. If anythinghe's had a great chin. The Prince used to jump in all the time and get caught. He was on the deck multiple times in his career. But how many times was he really hurt? Pretty much never. Gambo wll be fine. HE is way faster then Lopez. He'll tune his ass bad.

    Doubt it. I am not impressed with Gamboa, Lopez will knock him out.
