I hate to over do the hype....

And honestly Lyle, NO Gamboa does not remind me of Gavilan.

He's a far better athlete than Molina, and he will be a better fighter than Gavilan, I personally have never seen Gavilan as that great, I think both Gamboa and Rigondeaux are better than him. Gavilan lost a lot of the big fights he was in. Gamboa is truly special or he will be if he changes just a few things, he has the athletic ability of guys like RJJ and Mike Tyson.

For a fighter to have well over 400 amateur fights, he should "BE" that good. Gamboa kinda reminds me of Joan Guzman .

And honestly Lyle, NO Gamboa does not remind me of Gavilan.

I think he has the potential to do well...I'm just saying the style and manner in which he fights reminds me of Gavilan, not that he's going to be THAT good. Gamboa has a little jazz in his style a little flare just like Gavilan.


I'm not saying he's going to be half as good as Gavilan, if he was half as good as Kid, then he'd still be a great fighter. His style as a fighter reminds me of Gavilan.
