Re: Garcia/Donaire/Martirosyan tripleheader thread
A swarming Gamboa with fast combinations on the in the inside (where it suits his reach) could have Mikey a little flustered. Too bad he doesn't do that anymore. He doesn't even have someone that can be heard over the cash register sounds to clue him in. One or 2 flash knockdowns could be possible for Gamboa catching Mikey on the way in. But then Gamboa would get on his bike and duck/spin/clinch his way to a decision loss to keep from taking a drubbing, A stiff jab from mikey on the occasional 1 punch lunge from Gamboa could put an off balance gamboa on the seat of his pants. This fight would be 99% mental with Gamboa being disinterested and disarmed by the first game fighter he's fought in a while.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
