    when is he fighting next?
    who is he fighting next?
    what is the highest weight he could probably compete at?

    he's ****ing disgustingly nasty. I always liked him for his natural abilities but never realized till today how good his footwork is. He will be a problem for anyone he fights. They need to start matching him up with the top gunners in whatever division he will be in

    Gamboa's chin is suspect, if he moves to lightweight he will be a knockout waiting to happen IMO.

    At his weight, I want to see him fight Chris John.

    I don't think I agree with his chin being suspect. He just fights so wild sometimes that he puts himself out of position or off balance most of the time.

    I really dont see the point in Gamboa jumping up to weight classes. Why not move to 130 win a title then move up again even after 1/2 fights and then try?

    Not convinced Gamboa can be "Gamboa" @ the higher weights.
    I'd like to see a couple warm-up's or 2 depending how he looks first then...
    (As long as he don't become the new Guzmán & slows down his climb @ his peak)

    Not sure if his (Gamboa's) T-Rex like arms can handle the bigger guy's with the reach.

    In addtion to everything that's already been said, I believe the highest weight class he could effectively compete in would be 140 IMO. Despite his prodigious athletic ability, he's just too short for WW.

    Yea that height may kill him moreso than the weight I see Russell Jr having a similar issue. Broner and Donaire I think wont have a problem possibly making 140 in a few years
