Gamboa is Overated

Gamboa isn't overrated, he's rated right where he should be

I don't see threads constantly popping up proclaiming Gamboa the GOAT lol

Casual fan lol, there is a reason i have had a Boxnation subscription over here in the UK for nearly 3 years.

Who is overrating him? Plus why does he have to be overrated? Because he lost to an extremely smart and versatile fighter in Crawford?

Gamboa will go down as one of the most underrated fighters of this generation. He is just far too small for this division. Especially considering he's fighting a guy as talented as Crawford.

He beats lesser lightweights but he is too short to compete with big and skilled ones.

Says nothing about.your skill when you lose to a big skilled guy who can take your best.

Too bad he didn't stay at 126-130.

I wasnt aware that Crawford weighed 152 pounds, that sounds crazy. I must admit i fell asleep during the undercard but luckily i woke up just Gamboa and Crawford started the round.

I did see the whole fight though. While gamboa did well for the first 3 or 4 rounds. I immediately noticed he usually jumped in head first throwing loads of punches and left his chin wide open.

Based on my observation, i arrived at the conclusion that Gamboa is overated because a decorated amature like himself should never get hit so easily especially when he is Cuban.

So you decide to call Gamboa overrated, when your own bum ass was hardly awake for the event? GTFO.

Gamboa had tons of success early on, I had him winning the first 4 rounds.

Crawford is a switch hitter, he's tricky. It took him a bit to get used to fighting Gamboa southpaw but he could land his power hand easier from that stance and he did so.

Gamboa fought like he always does, he gets tagged and he wants to brawl.

Great win for Crawford but he is a disgrace to the Cuban School of Boxing. Gamboa has zero defence and a borderline glass chin,

Gamboa would have beaten Abril and Vasquez tonight. I don't see Escobedo beating him so who would have taken him out besides
crawford?

I thought Crawford looked great tonight, but I also feel that tonights fight showed that Gamboa was a fighter who always relied on his athleticism and his inactivity, plus questionable chin was on full display tonight. Not trying to hate on Crawford, but I do think saying he's a top 3 P4P fighter is a little bit premature.

I was waiting for somebody to post this ****** *** thread.

Don't think he was overrated, but is chin was always an issue.
