Jaz, he has been knocked down twice in the last 3 fights, he's been stunned at least twice on occasions he hasn't been down once against Jimenez and once against Ramirez right before he got him on the ropes and dropped him for the second and final time, but both of them going by their records aren't big punchers at all. I give Gamboa credit for making a B-line to them right afterwards, but I wonder what will happen if somebody like Juan Manuel Lopez hits him cleanly down the line. As for Gamboa vs Chris John, I see him beating Chris John and maybe even everybody at 126, but its not the strongest division, there are tough guys north and south of the division that could really cause him some trouble.
There are also Miguel Garcia, Carlos Velasquez coming up that might give him troubles, especially Carlos.
Beard means chin by the way, I am refering to how good his chin is.
All in all Gamboa might be the most exciting, most gifted fighter in boxing, but either he needs one hell of a chin or to change his style in order to get to the top, or at least to stay at the top.
