Very impressed with him, he seems to have developed a bit more boxing skill now. To go along with his great natural talents, i hope he gets a big fight soon because in his last fight he really looked special.

AGREE!!!
The kid is FAST. And he been wiping out all his opponents with ease. Besides Chris John and Lopez I don't know who can give him a serious challenge. I like Caballero and R. Marquez, but Gamboa is all wrong for both of them.
Lopez's camp needs to make the fight. Guarantee classic!!!
Dude looked amazing .. As did Martinez last week and nonaire the week before that . Easy to be hyped of the last thing we see . Gamboa is fast strong etc .... But five min ago when Juan ma was ko'ing everyone in the first and beating the crap outta Gerry p and ponce the same was said of him . I think both have serious defensive issues and it'll just be who hits who first. If gamboa didnt play for the crowd and kept his hands resonably up he could win easy, but we all seen guys beat speed with timing and Juan ma can hit. So who knows ? Both are bad ass in their own way
im asking u guys who have seen more of him , is he a bit chinny
agreed it's a real 50/50 fight, also i'd say they're about even in power, Gamboa has more speed but IMO Juanma is more technically sound, he throws straighter shots and has a wider variety of punchesQuote:

He is the fastest man in boxing today. But lets not go too crazy over his domination of Solis, because honestly Solis offered up virtually NO OFFENSE. Now some if that is because of Gamboa's speed, but clearly Solis had no game plan, no plan of attack, and no iniative. He came in overly confident and had his hands at his waist.
Solis really was not a good measuring stick for Gamboa.
Gamboa always has his hands at his waistQuote:

Not too sure about that. Not saying he is or isn't. BUT just because he has been down a few times doesn't mean he's chinny. He's got up and won each time. ODLH was floored a couple of times early in his career and he was far from chinny. Time will tell.Quote:

Anyone got a link to this.
Gamboa is ok, he ain't the best. Of he good then Edwin valero was elite
If you meant the Gamboa vs Solis fight,

Nice balance he has in his movements.I like him.
I think he's a sloppy spastic fighter with iffy balance and 20 fights who can be hit often. He has some serious work to do once you look passed the colorful packaging.
Ah we have our very first disagreement ;D Mr Spicoli.Quote:

Not so much off balance with his general moves in his early work.
Im off to watch some more of him if I can.
Which fight has he been tested the most in that I can look up?
Dont hold back, tell us what you really think. :D He's fun to watch. I like to watch him because even when he gets knocked down, its like he is offended and wants to come back even more reckless and harder.Quote:

He has great speed no doubt. He def over commits and gets stuck in that singular gear, often resulting in him getting caught. Think thats a result of huge push and living up to his tag-line of the next best thing and big banger. Great for fans...bad for him in the long run I believe. Balance has always bugged me....even in that last clip when he gets kd on Solis with right hook he pitches left with both legs straight and anchor right kicking out a bit. Aching for counter. His explosive offense erases alot of his flaws for now.
His fight with Darling Jimenez was billed as 'showcase' on HBO. He ruled fight but case of where his head was caught up in it. Looked like a product rushed to market and frustrated. Check it out..and yes he's gotten better.
His bouts with Speedy Gonzalez, Estrada, Jose Rojas were nice. Gonzalez was off brutal war and undersized but showed some moments with movement and boxing. Salido was a solid proven dude but single geared. Gamboa loaded up and then gets dropped. He did make some adjustment but fought way to 'tight' and flustered. I think it was Gamboas best win, or at least the one from which he takes the most. I don't hate the guy, shit he's fun TV and has natural speed but he''s always struck me as rushed and not developing reliable second game plan when all dont fall over.
I just watched him on utube against Solido ; that arms down stuff could get him into trouble if he is timed right. I thought he maybe resting his arms and not fit enough to go the distance with them but he was as fast in the finishing rounds as he was to start with, so it maybe a habit or style thing with him :-\.Quote:

He has some very fast reactions though. I got a bit reminded of Mosleys jab with that slide forward with the snap jab for added speed. Remember Forrest had the right answer for that with the stiff jab in the face all the time.
He is fun to watch, I'd love to see him get really tested though, you're right, most of these boys look better when they are getting it all their own way. Be interesting to see the top men in the divison with him.
