    Yeah if it was just a flash KD it would be elss suspect, but he was hurt evidently by a guy that cannot punch even a little bit. Limond has no power on the domestic circuit, on the world level, he'd not have even gained a KO.

    On the world level, Limond's a completely feather fisted low level journeyman.

    Plus, Khan doesn't have the ability people think he does. Gamboa needs a few things to work on, Khan needs a load. Gamboa's chin is not glass, Khan's evidently is.

    I see a wide gap between Gamboa and Khan, which doesn't mean Khan can't make something of himself.

    As far as prospects and potential goes, I agree than Gamboa has more than Linares, but in terms of actual substance, atm Linares is on another level. Potential has to be developped correctly.

    As far as calling Larios undersized at 126, I just don't see it.

    Also i don't think that saying that Gamboa won 9 out of 10 rounds in brutal fashion is accurate. I gave round 1 to Jimenez. You can give it to Gamboa, but he didn't win it in brutal fashion

    Double ****ing standards.

    Khan needs to work on head movment and defence. He also is 5 years younger than Gamboa meaning that he has much more time to work on his few things than Gamboa.

    Gamboa is not any better defensivly than Khan.

    It's French, not Spanish. But both equally suck.

    Yeah buy Limond who only has like 8 KOs in 25 fights put Khan on ***** STREET and knocked him down! That's not impressive at all.

    That part of the fight was not I will grant you.

    But the way that Khan gets completly abused on here about his faults with no thought for how good he could be and the way that Gamboa is going to be something else and is just learning when he has issues is pure bull****.

    Gamboa has a lot less time to recitify his mistakes being FIVE years older than Khan.

    The difference in how they are treated is disgracful.

    You know the reasoning for that? I dont know if you're britsh but the british fans talk so much **** when they have a decent fighter that it really gets irritating after a while especially if the fighter isnt that great. Khans a very good fighter dont get me wrong but that chin of his will be his downfall. Plus he really needs to step up the competition and stop fighting all of those creampuffs. Chavez Jr is even worse! He's fighting damn cab drivers.

    we have to remember that this is actually the second time gamboa got dropped in his current 10 fight pro career. apparently, he hasn't learned yet from his first KD. hopefully, he does from this second one.

    but one thing's for sure, gamboa CAN be dropped and probably much worse when he steps up his competition to the B, A and elite level fighters.

    Fair enough man. Some people can be very annoying I know.

    As for his chin, it could well be. Bearing in mind Khan is a massive 135lber. If he went up to 140 he could gain some resistance due to not having to drain mabye...

    To be fair in Khans fight before last he took on Gary St Clair who is not a bad fighter at all and he shut him out completly.

    Gomez despite being shot to **** in my eye's still does hit hard. If he makes contact it should be able to tell us wither Khan's chin issues will cause him major problems in his carrer.

    EVERY fighter gets abuse here. some more than others, because of their very high profiles (khan).
