Yuriorkis Gamboa back in action Octuber 30th

Nice to see that Gamboa is getting a US fight. Kid is the real deal. He was the least hyped of the three, but I'm easily the most impressed with him.

 

Supposedly, Oner wants him to be fighting for a title by his 10th bout. I could see it happening.

 

if this is true oner is a dumbass!!

this type of strategy never works.......just look at david reid. it burns out the fighter and shortens his prime.

the guy needs to learn step by step. 15-20 fights should be a minnimum.

its already backfireing with solis. he matches super tough in his first three fights.........so when he matches him with a 19-13 guy in his 4th fight its a downer!!!
so what does he want to do for an encore??

 

Worked just fine with Kosta Tszyu, Evander Holyfield, Sven Ottke, Anthony Mundine, and had mixed results with Oleg Maskaev.

If a guy has that much amateur experience and has been that dominant, there's no reason to take baby steps. They already have their stamina built up and know a lot of the nuances of the sport, which are the reasons you bring a fighter along slowly. Let them sink or swim - if they sink, they were probably going to sink anyway.

 

Holyfield and Tszyu are expected to go to the hall of fame.

ottke benefitted from a weak devision (at the time), carefull matchmaking and lost of hometown help.

mundine......last time i looked he got knocked unconcious in his 11 fight when fighting lighthitting ottke.
and he never beat a real super middle top gun!!! echols was a faded blown up middleweight.
and he lost to some bull**** fighters.

and i wont even get into maskaevs career.

 

have you read what i have written??? i was saying he is being matched too tough to early!!!!

cause if he keeps at this pace he will be fighting top ten guys within his next 3 fights!!

and at this pace, he´ll burn himself out!!

you need to pace yourself and learn the pro game!!

and looking at the scales, solis doesnt even know how to live like a pro yet.
not with his fat ass and belly.

 

where did i say that he should fight bums??? where did i say he needs 50 fights???

where did i say he needs to be overprotected??

is there only overprotection and overmatchment in boxing for you??

i said he needs to slow down competitionwise!

learn the game.

how do you expect him to become a champ quickly when he acts like a fat kid with an IQ of about 50??

his ass is fatter than kirstie allies for christ sake!!!!

he needs to become a pro fighter before he can become a pro boxing champ.

 

But Bum, you can't say the same things about Gamboa...I think the Cuban featherweight has already learned how to fight as a pro...7-8 more fights and he is ready for a world championship bout...

 

Absolutely.

 

Nice to see this kid staying active. Call me crazy, but even with his lack of experience at the professional level, I think he has the potential to become a P4P fighter one day.
