Gamboa vs Lopez

I think Gamboa has improved too much for Lopez now. He is basically blowing right past him in the improvement department. Gamboa throws much straighter and faster than Lopez. And now Gamboa is picking the right times to use his unmatched explosiveness. Gamboa by KO. Probably something like the 7th round.

My opinion is the same as before last night, I think Gamboa will spark him. Lopez is a very good fighter, but Gamboa is just too fast for him. When it comes to power as well, Gamboa was knocking out guys at 130lbs before comfortably moving down.

Also, disagree with Spicoli, Gamboa is 'the next coming'. The guy will rule the sport one day.

Lopez is my boy but i don't like his chances in this one. He has the power to trouble Gamboa but Gamboa poses the same threat for Juanma but also add that he's quicker and is very awkward.

Gamboa by KO, around the 5th or 7th round.

I think his defensive leaks are buried under his explosive offence.Its not always going to be one way traffic and he gets hit...and dude is 28 long ring years old.I dont see it,just too premature to think him ruling the sport for me at this point...but I'll def watch the ride.
