Im looking at the guys who gave JUanma trouble and it were the aggressive fighters like Mtgawa, Rafael Marquez, and Salido.. Mikey Garcia dont fit the mold but he's an exception cuz he's in a class of his own..
Gamboa has been trying to be more of a cute boxer these days.. I can't remember the last time he fought aggresively.. probably against that one bum pinoy but that was way over a year ago..
Gamboa may be fast but often times that speed is innaffective because he's so fundamentally flawed.. For a fast fighter, he sure does get caught hard and often by nearly everybody who has fought him.. His defense is horrible.. He fights with his hands down and that chin is exposed especially when he's backing straight up.
I believe Juanma is better off when somebody gives him space and tries to box with him and I think Gamboa is that type of opponent..
Im not saying Gamboa would box with him for 12 rounds but he wouldnt suffocate him the whole time..
