Gamboa

Tonight I saw an incredible mix of power and boxing skill. The 2004 gold medallist Cuban with more than 200 hundreds fight in the amateur and in his 11 pro fight display power and foot work not noticeable in a long time. Timing was the key in his win. Gamboa show that his ability and his experience can take him to the higher level in boxing, and if continuing with this pace , he can become a Champ by the end of the year. Take a look to this guy, and that what everyone should begin to do, stop protecting your fighter and take them to the next step without taking baby step or protecting them, once in a real fight they don't known how to react to pressured,or to the next level of competition. I believe with so many venues to become champ we are making Boxing more weak compared to other sport. Remember back in the day Boxing used to be the KING of the sport and is time to bring Boxing to the highest pedestal in sport. We need more fighter, promoter and matchmaker who will take a risk and put good shows.

The Corner

In boxing nothing is more important than a good corner, in training they do thier job by working hard their fighter, after training day, a trainer still working. Day or night, Monday or Sunday they think, analized, and put together a plan for their fighter.
In some cases the trainer go the extra mile, in other cases they are more that trainer, they become father figures, uncle, friends and more, but as a trainer we need to know our boxer and known they limitations, to avoid any further damage to them.
When ever a fighter is in trouble as a trainer, we need to asked how they feel, but the judgement and the decision come from a strong trainer the one respect his fighter,. I rather have my fighter to loose a fight and come back another day than have to caried a guilt. Its time for the commission to put some kind of training or clases to be abe to identify when a fighter is in problems.
Trainers need to do thier job and protect our fighter.
