Saw his last fight, he showed lateral footwork plenty enough, but it was useless. It was just dancing. When it came time to engage his opponent and actually throw some punches, footwork disappeared.Originally Posted by Pacstraightleft

The talent and skills are there. But he has some bad habits that could lead to his downfall. And I don't think he can change them.

Nope at least not now he's not for real.
And as I posted in another thread he will have a loss by this time 2009.

Re: Yuriorkis Gamboa........ Is he for real?
I share the sentiments of most guys, he has the talent, but seems overeager to impress and muddles his own work leaving himself open. He doesn't seem to have a plan B, or any strategy whatsoever. With the right guidance the sky is the limit for a guy of this talent IMO, but I also think he's fighting above his natural weight, and while he has a good KO% he has to nail the guys a lot to get them out of there.

Needs to get with right people around him, he may have already done that, but this guy is just to raw still to consider him for REAL. Love the excitement he brings to a fight. A cocky confidence that if not bottled and trained to be used properly could be his downfall. I wish him luck though and look forward to see where this highly touted PROSPECT takes his career.

Re: Yuriorkis Gamboa........ Is he for real?
I think his main problem is, too many people telling him he's better than he is.....all the tools are there, and for about 8 seconds of his last fight when he got caught a little bit and took things serious he looked awesome, then he got comfortable and back to all the cocky silliness. I think it will take his first loss before we see how good he really is...
