Tsurkan should have not been allowed to fight so long.

I will rep when I can.

Gamboa looks very cocky to me. I guess he has the right to be. But it is quite a step up to world opposition....compared to Tsurkan.

Glad you enjoyed yourself.

P.S. Baldo looked very very old and fat. But you looked good Mick :cool:.

Thanks for the comment booze...

The Baldomir pic was good. Baldomir looked ancient, but maybe that was just because he was up against Mick. Dunno. ;D

You know the deal miles... :cool:

Well No Contest for me it's completely different.
When your there and you can see exactly what's going on in each corner you can hear what the corner is saying. You can see when Bunemas being given crystal clear water and he spits out what appears to be "Cherry" Kool-Aid :puke: My girl kept looking away during the Bunema & Tusrkan rest periods as they would spit out blood ;D

(SweetPeas gonna love this reply)

I also side with Kellerman's take that Gamboa is just going to get himself knocked out with the rushes and the flurries... my question is (never seen this guy fight before), is all that athleticism covering up for a lack of boxing skill? If some guy he was able to knockout so quickly was also able to floor him (elbow or no elbow) just as quickly, what's he going to do when someone actually makes him box?

---

Gamboas got a solid amateur back ground...
Actually one of the most solid amateurs in recent times.
He's def. skilled but he still fights very much like an amateur at times.
You can check him out on YouTube there's several of his fights there.

As usual, good top notch quality pics and commentary man.. ;)

I have to rep more people before I can hit you back brutha

I liked Gamboa's performance. Contrary to most thought, I thought that Gamboa's aggressive performance was a Professional style more than Amatuer.

It would do him well if he moved slower up the championship ladder. What's the rush?

Too wild and clumsy though in his aggressive style... he needs to look up Cotto tapes and see how a real fighter "FIGHTS." But I like his aggressive "Fighter Attitude." Shows he's more than athletic skill.

I think I was expecting 3 tough competitve fights, but two were one sided and the third was over before it had the chance to get real good. From watching on TV perspective...of course its exciting when your ringside.

Agreed, Typical HBO blowouts.

As an fyi, I just read that Vernon Forrest has until October 14th to decide whether or not he will fight Martinez, if not, he has to vacate the title, and Martinez becomes the title holder.

That would be good match. I can see Martinez winning but he better not have those hands low with Forrest because he will eat jabs like crazy.

I think it would be a good fight as well. I would give it to Martinez.

I don't think he would drop his hands with Vernon. He started the fight against Bunema with his hands up, it wasn't until about the 3rd round, when he felt extremely comfortable, and confident, that Bunema wouldn't be able to really catch him, is when the hands came down.

But I have a feeling that Vernon won't take the fight, he hates to fight southpaws, and he's looking for big money fights, and even though Martinez's stock went up with that performance, I don't think it will generate the kind of money that Vernon wants.

I think Martinez would win a MD....

Forrest is still crafty himself and has the experience on his side.
It would take a full set of 12 rounds and good fought rounds to beat Forrest.

These fights are on HBO on Demand now.

Alright thanks to everyone for taking the time to post and or view the thread... Much appreciate it. :cool:
