    Default Holy crap... Gamboa.

    He's fucking fast, I mean I've watched guys like Leonard, Taylor, Mayweather, Jones, etc., and p4p his speed matches or surpasses any of them except maybe JOnes, I mean Gonzalez had really good speed, and he looked lost in there, even the few times he tried to throw punches Gamboa evaded punches I honestly don't think anyone I've ever seen would have been able to get out of the way of, I mean he would be coming forward full speed and still be quick enough to dip or move around the on coming punches. I know this wasn't his most exciting fight, but if he continues to fight safe like this I am confident he will go a long, long way in his career, unless he gets caught by that Tarver type punch. ON a better note, everytime he has been hurt or knocked down he recovers immediately.

    He really does and having been ringside for his fight vs. Ramirez I can tell you he's even faster in person all you really see is a blurr...

    Also for me, Meldrick Taylor had the fastest hands ever. Faster then SRL, PBF, RJJ and Ali.

    Yeah, he's fast. Gamboa seems to be getting better with his ring savvy too. But Gonzales seemed to lack confidence. There were a few moments during the fight where Gamboa was wide open to counterpunching, but Gonzales didn't, or couldn't pull the trigger.

    I don't think he was as wide open as you think, a few times Gonzalez tried and Gamboa even though he was coming in, still got out of the way.

    I don't think Meldrick Taylor IMO was p4p faster than Roy JOnes Jr or the like, but his speed and punches seemed effortless, and Gamboa throws his punches with that same ease. Calzaghe also throws punches like them. You don't hear a hiss, they aren't expending all their energy, they just punching naturally, only M. Taylor and Gamboa to a greater extent do it at lightning speeds. I think Gamboa also has much faster feet and better footwork than Taylor when he uses it.

    Yeah, Gamboa has good reflexes to get out of the way and all, just saying that there was a few times when Gamboa was off balance, overextended , and exposed, and rather than take the opportunity, or at least try, Gonzales just continued to cover up. Not a lot of times mind you, just a few times.

    That was a "gift" tko much like Leanard's against Benitez. It helps Gamboa's record, but it was bullsh-t all the way. As for Gamboa, I was less than impressed by the way he leaves himself open for right hand counter.

    Beating a dead horse...I know.But I just for the life of me do not see "It" .Trying to keep an objective mind and fully realizing that he is barely into double digits as a professional but he is repeating the same mistakes over and over.The jab....what jab?He lets his emotions rule the day and should be,(his camp and trainers more so) refining his Basics RIGHT NOW before he gets into the big show and has no plan B.That chip on his shoulder is an inviting target,get the hands up,stop bouncing in and out,He looks easy to time and is pretty predictable Imo.Keep thinking of a newly built,impressive looking house,spectacular to look at but missing the intangibles.....like plumbing,electricity,and at times even a wall or two.If that makes any sence...been a brutal day.Would not be suprised to see him shoot up to another division next fight or two.
