Gamboa vs Lopez

[gest12645]

So who wins now?

It pains me to say it, because I do not care for him, but I would have to go with Gamboa by KO. How quickly? Well that would depend on how Lopez chooses to fight. If he sticks to boxing, I say he would last till the 8th or 9th, but if he tries to slug it out, like he did with Mtagwa, I say Gamboa might take him out around the 4th or 5th round.

And God, I really hate to say that.

[El Kabong]

I say Gamboa KO because he's more seasoned, he's quicker, and he is a lot more polished. However if JuanMa was able to connect I think he could put the lights out on Gamboa too...let's not forget that Gamboa has been put down before

[Spicoli]

I'm not getting all of the kool aid drinking on Gamboa but can say he is must see,awesome impulse and instinct,he detonates on guys but I dont see 'the next coming' as some.....both have lapses big time,hittable.....just think Gamboas fire gets him through more decisively.If it happened next month I say Gamboa on power but see Lopez having many more improvements,learning and growing more over time.

why do you hate Gamboa?

I like Gamboa in this one. Come forward wing right hooks forget the jab and get in exchanges Lopez would get starched badly. If he tries to make Gamboa come to him, jab, set up the right hook he's got chances to touch up Gamboa.

But forget the exchanges. Exchanging with Gamboa is a fool's game. He's just too fast.

[Hulk]

Gamboa by stoppage.

He's too fast for Lopez.

I don't hate him, he just rubs me the wrong way.

Lopez by stoppage

[blegit]

I think Gamboa has improved too much for Lopez now. He is basically blowing right past him in the improvement department. Gamboa throws much straighter and faster than Lopez. And now Gamboa is picking the right times to use his unmatched explosiveness. Gamboa by KO. Probably something like the 7th round.

[JohnnyKickAss]

Hmmm...Gamboa might be the faster,stronger fighter and even better boxer,but he's been down before(like Lyle said)and Lopez is a big puncher himself...so I wouldn't put it past him to knock Gamboa out and lets not forget Lopez eaten alot of bombs in the Mtagwa fight being wobbled hard but not going down...I would say Lopez got the better chin from the two...But in the end my money would be on Gamboa...

I don't hate him, he just rubs me the wrong way.

So how does someone rub you the right way...

[Mar]

Not sure who i'd pick, but lopez has some pretty cool sponsers. Dodge and now freakin Ihop. Made me go get pancakes.

[TitoFan]

My well-thought out, unbiased, scientific, totally objective pick is..... Lopez.

[nyc champ]

i cant see this fight goin the distance ima have to say lopez by k.o

[Majesty]

Let's not forget, Lopez has power too. Gamboa isn't gonna walk through Lopez. It is a matter of who gets to who first because they both have explosive power. That Mtagwa fight made Lopez become a better boxer. Gamboa came in with the gameplan Lopez "should have" had when he beat him.

Gamboa is very very good, maybe something special, but so is Lopez, just because he looked bad two fights ago doesn't mean he's a bad fighter suddenly, that fight probably made him a better one. And Gamboa has looked bad before and been down before. So lets not rule out that Lopez may low and behold hurt him.

It's not gonna be a cakewalk for either fighter.
