Gamboa v. Ponce De Leon

[Rantcatrat]

I feel like Gamboa will KO De Leon hard as much as I like De Leon. I'm a big fan, but Gamboa just seems on another level. I know he is somewhat vulnerable himself, but he punches like a beast.

This could be a repeat of De Leon's fight agains Juanma. Gamboa wins around round 4

[CutMeMick]

I kinda think PDL can go the distance...

But I'm more inclined to Gamboa going all out and looking for the TKO.
After all JML got in 1 round. I'm sure Gamboa doesnt want to get a decision win.

[CFH]

De Leon might be able to catch Gamboa with one of his wild punches, but I doubt it; he's too slow and he doesn't have the chin to stand up to Gamboa's onslaught.

Gamboa by early TKO.

This fight comes on tonight after the Vitali vs. Adamek replay @ 10:30 PM EST here in North America

At Atlantic City, N.J. (HBO): Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Daniel Ponce De Leon, 12 rounds, featherweights.

I believe Gamboa destroys Ponce, I don't see this going more than 5-6 rounds tops.



Why don't we use Rant-Cat's thread for the fight thread?

Gamboa vs. Ponce comes on after the Vitali-Adameck replay in 2 1/2 hours or @ 10:30 PM EST here in North America.

So Gamboa vs. Ponce isn't likely to start until 11:30 PM EST or about 5:30 AM in the UK and Europe.

[Tam Seddon]

Agreed, this is ending early.

Agreed, this is ending early.

I'd love to see De Leon do well or at least make the fight competitive, but realistically, I see Gamboa doing a blitzkrieg on his ass, Ponce is just too slow for a whirling dervish like Gamboa.

[Mars_ax]

The Vitali vs Adamek replay is starting now, Gamboa v. Ponce De Leon won't be on for another hour.

Gamboa looks like a friggin jr welterweight. This one is all about when not what.

Ponce is out of his league, I don't expect this to go more than 5 or 6 rounds, if that.

Damn do I hope Ortiz beats Mayweather.

[Mars_ax]

Ponce already in the ring, Gamboa on his way, the fight should start in a few.

Pretty much a trumped up showcase for Gamboa. I don't think Gamboa is the all out flawless gem some do but these guys are going in completely different directions. Dont go to the fridge...

[Spicoli]

I like the mobility and patience from Gamboa. He may have given the round but seems to be leashing Ponce De leon into something big

[Mars_ax]

Gamboa reminds me of a mini-Tyson, he even looks a bit like him.
