Fights on Espn2: Gamboa vs Castellanos

[Spicoli]

absolutely PERFECT straight right drops Gamboa in a heap! Timed like a clock and picture perfect on the button, He's up at rounds end.

[Spicoli]

Same shot..different round. Gamboa dropped and looks discouraged. He looks toast and legs done early 4th

[Spicoli]

Gamboa on heart and instinct. Literally reeling in the wind but steading end of round. Corner tells him to not just stand there . Deep hole and he needs to get respect immediately.

[Spicoli]

Teddy spot on about Gamboas early push. Slower 5th and Gamboa looking like he at least has some idea. Not a bad round for him.

[Spicoli]

Long shots and sneaky loop right backing Gamboa again in 6th. Gamboa just squares and rolls out after single shots. Again Castellanos has him on end of right hand as bell sounds. I think I've seen at least 101 commercials for Canelo v Chavez..Chavez almost looks gaunt

[Spicoli]

In rounds have Castellanos 5-2 and have no idea what Atlas is watching . If this is 'even' I'm fookin Santa Claus. Gamboa just gets hit so ugly in spots.

[Spicoli]

Woooaaahhhh....Gamboa stays on the stool! Game over. How was Castellanos a 20-1 underdog?

[Ron Swanson]

Can't believe he asked his corner to stop it. Just because he has gotten off the mat so many times you don't expect him to give in. I hope he retires, the fight is gone in him.

Yep thinking the same. Before he'd just get clipped and rage back, his legs and reflex never recovered off hard shots early here. Hope he gets out

Just finished watching it. Castellanos hurt Gamboa multiple times during the fight. Gamboa wasted his prime and now it's too late. Congratulations to Castellanos. The guy is a rugged gatekeeper. Not sure how he copes at 135 tho, he's been a career feather up until this fight. Nice RBR to @Spicoli.

Gamboa was going to be one of my favourite fighters. He was truly skilled and was going to be a super star. Just a shame.

Man, fighter after fighter you are wrong about "skilled", I don't think you know what the word means. Not saying this to insult, but because you know boxing well enough to know who is skilled. Gamboa got by on physical talent, his weakness was not developing skill.

OK but he had the potential to be a skilled professional fighter.

Always leaned more to reflex and solid athleticism with him and the early push and hype on him was so over the top. Weight probs and layoffs did no favors. May fall in to the style over substance that so many have. Maybe a Berto, Broner or to be determined Wilder more recent. All with glaring flaws too that follow them as the level of comp gets deeper. On a side note have a feeling Oscar cannot stand Teddy . As he was writing him off in interview, Oscar was straight staring a hole through him .
