    Even if Gamboa fights Mares and wins, we still would think his style is shitty!

    For me Gamboa's biggest weakness is his habit of losing focus in the ring. Don't know what his training ethic is like but his focus probably sways in that regard too. I think if he still let his hands go but sat down and threw less but more meaningful punches he'd get knocked on his ass less and be much more effective offensively as he has the speed and (unless he throws flashy yet silly flurries) considerable power. Last fight I saw was against Michael Farenas and he looked great early on but a little bulky and seemed to gas and lose the edge on his punches mid fight. Definitely the ring rust too but he looked more like Tyson than a lightweight in stature. Probably too late for a stylistic change though. He has the talent and at times looks incredibly comfortable defensively and when counterpunching but then he has those patches where he just drops the ball and gets hit. When he goes to finish a guy or wants to fight he bites down and just throws those silly little flurries by instinct as well. A few deep body shots would serve him much better.
