He can beat Broner.

He can beat most everybody at and around his weight. Eventually I see a superfight with him and Donaire. Yes, I have massive expectations for the guy.

Good fight for Gamboa. It will be his biggest boxing event yet and a lot of people will get to see him do what he can. If he loses he has an excuse in the weight difference and if he wins he becomes a p4p player and potentially a major star.

I still am not buying this at all. I believe 50 is building a hype train for a fight that nobody is really considering making happen anytime in the near future. I am thinking 3 or 4 years down the road.

I said this in the other thread, ...if the same Gamboa who fought Farenas fights Broner he will get killed.

This was one of his worst performances I've ever seen.

[NutHuggers]

Completely agree

I can excuse Gamboa's recent performance because of ring rust...after all...he hadn't fought in like 18 months. That being said...despite his tremendous physical gifts...his defense gets him in trouble. He needs to tighten things up considerably against someone like Broner. I still feel Broner is a tad overrated...ESPECIALLY on defense. People keep trying to make him out to be like Floyd defensively...he is no where close. I have seen him get hit by far inferior guys than Gamboa...the difference is those guys are so much smaller than him physically. His win over Demarco was insanely over hyped. Dude has talent...but he needs to step up his competition big time before i am a true believer. I also don't see Broner staying at 135 for much longer...and Gamboa shouldn't take the fight above 135. So i actually would want to see this fight sooner than later.

I can tell you for a fact that he did not take the Farenas fight seriously at all. He did not spar a single southpaw once throughout training camp for the fight, he only sparred left handers. Gamboa can beat Broner if he really wants to imo

You need to do your homework because you obviously don't know the background of the story. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GAMBOA! Do you even know his history? He just walked away from a huge fight with Rios and fucked over a bunch of people including fans BECAUSE HE WAS MAD ABOUT HIS PAY. He then makes the dipshit move of signing with 50 Cent and fights a no name for a fraction of what he was offered to fight Rios. Gamboa's only goal is to "get that paper" and he's calling out Broner hoping for a payday. If he wanted to fight the best he had plenty of opporunity but decided to sit on the sidelines. Now that his plan didn't work out he's begging to get back in the game.

I'm a fan of both guys, but Gamboa is not in Broner's league.

I'd pick Broner if this one goes down. Gamby did not look that great in his recent fight. He should face someone else before fighting Broner
