I totally agree, Gamboa makes some silly mistakes, but I just see him being too athletic & too strong. Jhonny is great if he can find that perfect shot, but I think Gamboa would just swarm him. I think if Hasegawa had carried his power from 118 up with him, he could have done this, but he just didn't seem to have the pop to seriously trouble him. I also think Gamboa has an ok chin, it's overcommitting with his combinations that fucks him up. I think John would actually be a great fight, but it would have to be in the US because he'd get fucked in Thailand.
