Timothy Bradley vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa?

Bradley by decision. I wouldn't even be shocked if Bradley got the KO. I would be rooting for Gamboa though.

 

That's precisely the point. I don't get why a bradley-gamboa idea is absurd but a rios-gamboa isn't. It's not like gamboa will be facing a giant guy. This match-up is possible to be made imo.

 

People actually believe that Bradley could knock Gamboa out? If anything it would be the other way round. Gamboa is the better boxer, he has the olympic gold and athleticism Bradley is lacking. With that being said Gamboa looked terrible in his last fight and very lazy, I'll put that one down to ring rust. Bradley beat Pac in my eyes but he hasn't fought in a long time, if the fight goes down tomorrow I'd make it a 50/50 fight.

 

Just because you walk around at a certain weight doesn't mean you should fight there.

Ortiz would get killed at middleweight. Broner said he was walking around at 157 a few months ago.

 

Floyd doesn't get killed at 147 because he has the talent to fight without having a huge weight advantage. If Gamboa can't fight a guy who naturally weighs the same as him, how great is he?

 

Exactly, Floyd's real weight class would be 140, but he has the skill and style to pull off fighting higher. Same with Pacquiao.

 

Gamboa will never get kO by bradley..he absorbed every punch that he take before and got back up super fast and all those were big punches..bradley have no power to KO Gamboa...Gamboa have power to KO Bradley....and both guys have great skills and athleticism..sped and footwork goes to Gamboa but going up that much I don't know if he can keep it..to me is a 50/50 fight....Gamboa by UD or late KO...

 

Do you think Gamboa can survive Bradley pressing him all fight long and digging to his body.

 

I don't think that he will have the chance to press Gamboa for 12 rounds digging to his body without get badly hurt by Gamboa's power and speed..

 

You think had Gamboa's power is going to come up with him that quick. Imagine Lopez vs canelo

 

I can't assure that...I can't imagine Lopez vs Canelo..Lopez last fought at featherweight Canelo is a huge JMW and lopez alredy lost at featherweight..Gamboa wan easy every contest...I don't know if he will carry his power and speed so much weight but he did say that hes walk around weight was ~150..and I know that he do the sparring with WWs..

 

I'd be utterly shocked if this fight actually happens.

 

Ortiz is too short for a middleweight. C'mon dude you know you can think better than that. I never even mentioned walking weight for the Gamboa-Bradley to begin with.

The other poster just mentioned both Gamboa and Bradley's physics and it's not absurd to make this fight happen. And I'm not even saying Gamboa would win already. I'm just saying this fight is possible to be made.

 

Yeah..me too..

 

You're exaggerating here, let the emotions fly out lol

Of course Canelo is too big for Lopez. He's also too big and too tall for Bradley

Bradley and Gamboa are not that big of a disparity. They only belong to certain weightclasses where Bradley seem far ahead.
