Gamboa vs Mtagwa

[eagle]

I have a lot of respect for Mtagwa he may not be that skilled, but he makes up for it with heart. He is responsible for the question marks over JML now and his fight against Tomas Villa was nothing short of amazing, that being said Dib (one of my least favorite fighters out there) is miles ahead of him on talent, and Gamboa is a phenom. So he is great gatekeeper, journeyman test for anyone and Gamboa passed with flying colors. I really doubt we get to see JML/Gamboa this year, I think Gamboa will make JML look like an amateur. JML will not risk his Dodge sponsorship against Gamboa.

Dont get me wrong im a fan of Mtagwa too. I hae massive respect for those African guys that dont have great skill but turn up to fight in great condition everytime. The Ndous Bikas, and Tackies of the world. I'd actually rather wait for a Lopez v Gamboa fight when they are both more established. I'd kinda like to see these guys in with some veterans now who wont go away easy, and will really test them. Pity JMM cant fight at 126-130 anymore.

Yeah that's probably true, I think Chris John would be a good fight for JML, Lopez throws a hell of a lot of punches and that's a lot opportunity for John to counter. I think Gamboa would blast John out of the water.

Yeah i thought of John as a good test style wise foor both but im not sure he hits hard enuf to hurt them. Would Caballero or Rafa Marquez be effective enuf at 126 to test them? I was gonna add Vasquez but i think he is shot now.
