Poor sap thinks he's still in the ammys against fighters with questionable power / nanny referees and knockdowns with no consequences.

One of these days he's gonna find he can't get up from one of those.

Hope you fight smarter than that !
No doubt, Gamboa is one of my favorite boxers but his defensive skill/chin can be questionable at times. So exciting to watch, but as much as I want to see him get a big name super fight, I think Rios or Broner will be able to leave him face down on the mat.

He does have a pretty average chin, messing he's as far to the bottom as he is to the top. But he compensates that for beautiful movement, one of the best lateral fighters I've seen, and heavy hands in a very low weight class.

He may look cocky in the ring, but I see that as confidence. Cubans work ethic is incredible. He probably trains as hard and as smart as floyd mayweather. now I'm not comparing him to floyd the boxer, but floyd the gym rat, the way he works out.

I should also say he has beautiful feints. something you rarely see in a boxer, in the farenas fight one of the commentators said he was throwing "meaninglessness" punches, when in reality he was fainting and setting up a big shot, also keeping his opponent on the defense.

Don't get me wrong , he has beautiful technique but he has this air of how everyone's beneath him. It would work if he wasn't getting chin checked every second or third fight. Now it just looks silly n delusional.
That Farenas fight is what finally turned me off him.

Rigondeaux and Lara are where it's at.
