Why does Gamboa seem to get a free pass....

You're such a belligerent twit that it's a wonder anyone takes you seriously.

Gamboa was shown last night as a guy who can be put on the canvas, against a guy who hadn't done anything at a top level in a number of years.

You mercilessly rant on Khan, like this thread mentioned, without pointing similar fingers at Gamboa, much like other fighters you zealously back.

Sounds like you've just found another bandwagon to jump on to try and find yourself some friends, poor kid, it's a wonder anyone listens to you at all.

 

Gamboa was very lucky he wasn't facing a better counter puncher last night, but it would have been considered a damn near jaw dropping performance for every other nine fight prospect in recent memory.

Anyone who thinks Yuri was remotely as hurt last night as Khan was against Limmond is delusional.

If they both fought Manny this year, do you really think Khan would do better than Gamboa?

 

Dumbass, Gamboa was put on the canvas briefly by a temple shot from a guy who can actually hit, it's not at all comparable to Amir Khan's issue's.

**** off.

 

You're a child, a cranky little child who obviously is up past his bedtime. Perhaps you should go to bed before you truely prove how limited your ability to act normal in society is.

Did Khan not get up and win his fight against Limmond? Just like Gamboa?

You don't see me stating "Gamboa is utter ****, he's a bum" like you would state about Khan, because I respect both fighters.

I don't however respect you, you need to compare every single fighter for some reason I don't know, without realising all it does is make you sound like a ****ing bum.

Go on, rant about Taylor or Pavlik again, you're nothing but a big mouth who railroads on other peoples opinions and talks himself up as some kind of elite analyser. This is about as much bull**** as anything else you've stated in this thread is.

Gamboa is a prospect with a hell of a future, he has rough edges and they were shown up last night

Khan too, is a prospect with a hell of a future, who is further advanced in his professional career than Gamboa is.

The fact that you show no respect to the latter shows everyone here what sort of guy you are, a complete utter child.

 

If you were any kind of respected or intelligent poster yourself, this little whining rant of yours might have meant something. As it stands, it doesn't, because you're someone who's proven his lack of understanding of boxing as a sport on more than one occasion previously. I mean, weren't you the guy saying fighters of Leonard's era were primitive compared to fighters like Floyd? :nut

 

Difference in class between a Brit domestic creampuff like Limond and world operator like Jimenez, difference in punching power also.

You'd have no right to claim anything on Gamboa like I do Khan. But it's obvious you know very little about boxing.

What are you on about here?

I have no reason to talk about Taylor or Pavlik, I don't railroad on others opinions, many people have developed their views off of my original views, tool. I don't claim to be an elite analyser, you don't comprehend the difference between a joking gesture and a serious one, because you are an utter moron.

He's somewhat rough around the edges, mild issue's that can easily be corrected.

Wrong, on all accounts.

The latter deserves very little respect, other than the basic respect that all fighters get just for getting in the ring and fighting.

 

Are you here to try to save your little buddy? You can't save him when he's already stated such naive and disrespectful horse crap, you might as well just tell him to post a little cleaner in future.

And yes, I was the one who mentioned that training techniques, nutrition, fight science and the ability for the MAJORITY of professional athletes to be FULL TIME and not semi-professional of the 1980s were completely different and primitive today.

Tell me how many of the boxers outside say the Top 15 were working secondary jobs to make a living during Sugar Rays career.

Now tell me how many boxers outside the Top 100 of PBF's era are working secondary jobs.

Oh look, another one of those facts you simply can't argue.

Difference between people like you and Amsterdam adverse to me? I don't coat everything in opinion.

 

:rofl I think you're confusing the 80's with say....the 20's? Seriously, that is one of the most uneducated posts I've ever seen. Talk about over-doing it. Get your eras straight. You're spouting ill-advised nonsense right now, which is little different than what you normally do.

 

Is this your opinion? Because it certainly isn't fact. Limond has only ever lost to two fighters... one of whom is now a world champion, the other is likely destined to be a world champion.

Jimenez however has lost to two fighters outside of Gamboa, both of whom have never got near title fights, let alone owning a title, both of whom boasted multiple losses before winning against Jimenez and both of whom have since been beaten after beating Jimenez.

Oh, by the way, Jimenez's punching record is severely enhanced by his last little winning streak, of which Anchodo was the only guy that had a career to be proud of and look at that... Anchodo had also been knocked out previously, severely calling into question his chin.

What's obvious is that you think the little bit of knowledge you have allows you to have such idiotic opinions, such as "Jimenez is WAY better than Limmond" - do you know this for sure? So far all I can see is Jimenez losing to guys who can't even be considered fringe contenders while Limmond has only lost to a now current champion and guy seemingly destined to be future champion.

Go on, refute this?

What am I going on about? I'm calling you a disrespectful bum with more opinions than knowledge, you don't deal in fact, you deal solely in opinion.

You choose "fighter of the month" like Gamboa, or Mijares, or Calzaghe, or Guzman - funny that, considering that's pretty much a list of people who have bandwagons like you wouldn't believe and you think you're not see through as a bandwagonner?

You don't think yourself an elite analyst? Well **** me, that's a good thing, because obviously your inability to correctly rate Limmond vs Jimenez over the one thing we CAN rate them on - performance - is so far off it's not even funny.

After 400 amateur fights, 10 professional fights etc, I would say leaving your hands down and going down in two fights thus far early into your career is a little more than rough edges.

Have a look at Povetkin, arguably had much stiffer competition than Gamboa to this point, has he been down yet?

Khan and Gamboa have both been down to guys who are not notoriously known for punching. Both got up and finished the job, only in Khan's situation - he finished the other fighter and had him retire on the stool.

Oh how objective you are.

Khan has won a title eliminator fight and beaten an ex world champion, yet he's not further progressed into his professional career than Gamboa?

This again is why people should really just ignore anything you say, you don't deal in fact, you deal in fantasy.

Yes, an olympic medalist who has beaten an ex world champion and won a title eliminator doesn't deserve any more respect than the little respect one gets for getting in the ring.

You, my friend, are ****ing owned.

 

I love the research you're doing here to prove your points.. i.e none.

What was it about Roy Jones Jr even 10 years ago fighting firemen and policemen? Yes, semi-professional fighters.

Now check the 1980s, if you can find me a guy outside the Top 15 that wasn't working a secondary job that wasn't a prospect coming up in the world, then do it.

Difference between you and I is, I DO research my points. You just take personal opinion and believe you're right.

Much like your pal above, don't come Monday - you're FIRED.

 

Just like to make it clear to people in the thread who aren't the forementioned bungle**** brothers, I rate Gamboa and think he's a great prospect, I just don't see any reason to disrespect Khan and call him a bum in comparison when Khan has done more in his career to this point than Gamboa.

 

Aw look, the little elite group couldn't come up with any answers for me.

A shame.

 

:good well said

 

Good post except that the KD against Adailton De Jesus was a farce. It was not a KD and it was a terrible call by the ref.

 

i gotta go with pugilistic on this - as much as i respect amsterdams opinions normally, and agree with a lot - normally very good at picking fights, i think both he, and sweet pea, are way out of line with their criticisms of khan. sure he's overhyped, but he's been down once, got up and finished the job - who cares how hard someone really hits - if they're a boxer, they can hit! all it takes is one punch on the button, by someone trained professionally to be able to hit that shot, and anyone goes down. khan managed to get up, and return the favour, but do it in such a fashion that made the other guy quit!

cant ask any more than that.

so stop with your pathetic insults and derogatory remarks, that are not only unjustified, but downright ridiculous, and give them BOTH a chance to come through.
