It was inevitable after seeing how easy it was to nail Gamboa with flush shots in he’s last couple of fights.
Unfortunately the career of a talented boxer come to its end. Since the fighting styles were quite similar it was quite difficult for Gamboa to perform well showing too many flaws in his defense therefore was an easy prey of a low level boxer but very eager to win. His mind is still fully immerse on his loss to Crawford.
No mas.
