YURIORKIS GAMBOA Headlining the 1st "Friday Night Fights" of 2009...

Lara looked f'n awesome.

 

..and much improved from his pro debut, when he looked very amateurish. I was pretty surprised to say the least.

 

I love it how they hype Gamboa as a puncher, he can't punch for shit. The guy he was fighting was a much smaller guy who had been KO'd by smaller guys. Gamboa is not a puncher. The guy needs to learn to keep his hands up too, he is definitely getting KO'd and soon I think.

 

Gamboa ='s Joan Guzman 2.0

 

but with a worse chin.

 

I went to sleep after 6 rounds. The only fighter who looked impressive on that card was Lara.

 

You think he'll be that good?

Even if you're down on Guzman, it seems like a compliment to Gamboa.

 

who said Guzman was good. all flash, no substance.

 

He doesn't have the chin to be that good. He's skilled no doubt, but he's going to sleep when he faces any above average puncher.

 

Like I said, even if you're down on Guzman, I'd consider it a compliment to Gamboa.

 

It's not just the quality of his chin, it's where he leaves it.

 

U CAN'T Really Guage Gamboa's Power Based on 1 Guy, Especially Considering the Guy REMAINED N a SHELL Throughout & was CONTENT to Go Rounds...Sure, he was SMALLER than Gamboa, but he PROTECTED Himself Well...

It REMAINS to B Seen if Gamboa's a Puncher on the ELITE Level, but he's ALREADY a Pretty GOOD Puncher on the Current Level he's @...



REED:hammert:

 

For sure.

 

agREED...

Gamboa HASN'T Looked HURT on Any of his Knockdowns, but he's Been Soooooooooooooo WIDE OPEN when he Got Caught, that he Went Down...& he's Shown NO Inclination to CORRECT that Flaw...

TRANSLATION: Based on Muzse's statement, Jake believes Gamboa is hall of fame bound.
