When I ask if he's for real, I'm asking is he FOR REAL. I've seen a little bit of him and the guy looked like he was ready for a world title shot after like 9-10 fights. Yes, I saw him get dropped in his last fight, but I remember another guy that was prone to a knockdown, or two........ yet would always get up to dominate the guy that put him down (with very few exceptions) He went on to have a pretty solid career. His name was Felix Trinidad.


Maybe it's just me, but I think that they are very similar fighters. As Gamboa continues to raise his level of competition he will continue to get knocked down, but it won't matter because it seems to me that if you knockdown a guy like gamboa, it gets him ready for a fight, ala Trinidad.



IMHO............... After knowing about the guy's incredible amature career, not to mention his Gold Medal, plus what I've seen from him in VERY few pro fights.........................this guy is world class, and a future all-time great.
