JESUS CHRIST!!! Gamboa looks like the re-incarnation of Roy Jones, Muhammad Ali und Floyd Mayweather WITH Power... Crazy! Edwards fell flat on his face... this is seriously the most gifted athlete/boxing phenomenon i've seen, since a prime Jones...
Gamboa very flashy...alot of skills....maybe a year or another 7-8 fight he can fight someone like Rocky Juarez.....see what he really has...
did u see him? wait and see ILLU that kid is something special... a RJ like talent - If his stamina is already good for 12 rounds i give him a decent shot at everyone at superfeather except Marquez, Guzman and PAC (though i can see him completely exposing PACs fundamental errors - but that is a kinda crazy pick right now i agree... :: )
I didn't see the fight last night....but i watch a few of his fights on youtube... IMO he relies toooo much on pure skills...and not on his boxing skills..he keeps his hands low...is wide open for counter punches coming in...
Well it's safe to expect him a little more cautious against better opposition. Right now we can enjoy blasting out the bums show for a few more fights. But hey that dude from yesterday went the full distance with Elio Rojas so one round isn't half bad...
Joan Guzman looked every bit as good as this kid did when he first hit the scene. Then he started going up divisions and his style was exposed somewhat. Without a jab, you're going to struggle against elite fighters. Only the most special of fighters can get away with such a basic fundemental error.
The kid had over 400 amateur fights, and he was on the Cuban boxing team. For a lighter weight fighter, that speaks for itself!
Actually, he keeps the left low so that he could counter with his excellent power and speed. When your reflexes are as good as his, and his speed and power is what it seems to be, you can bait a fighter by being lax with the fundementals because it opens up countering opportunities.
