I was screaming at the telly good lad it's a stupid medal; you need to feed your child! That guy earnt my respect with his general attitude and behaviour. What a great loss it was that 50cent basically shafted the guy out of the right training he would need to become dominant in the sport. He was still fairly good despite all that mess dragging him down. Top fella I reckon.

Hunger and homeless are almost non existent in Cuba. I highly doubt he had to sell than medal to support his family. Edit: From what I can tell he did to pay for a birthday party for his daughters first birthday, which is noble but she wasn’t gonna starve if he didn’t do that.

@@or1134 I don't need to be Cuban to be able to know about history of Cuba and what life was like before communism(hint Hella racist and shity for the wroking class who were a majority of the population) or to tell the difference between us anticommunist propaganda and reality. Also here in the usa most amateur boxers and lots of pros have to have another job to get by cuz they have to pay for things like rent and trainers. Unlike Cuba where they provide public access to the top fighters and trainers, they dont have to worry about outta control rent prices, and have public Healthcare so they don't chase to pay for their own medical in a nation with the highest medical costs in the world and where medical bills are the leading csus eof bankruptcy. Lets not pretend poverty is something unheard of in the usa, especially among amateur boxers or fathers in their late teen/early 20s as he was at the time...

This was beautiful. Boxing is one of the most unforgiving and brutal sports in the world.

Gamboa had a spectacular run, and he's one of my modern favorites because of it.

don't care most people blame 50 because he allowed him to fight Crawford after moving up in weight and only having 1 fight at that weight in a 2 year time span before fighting Crawford, They could’ve handled it better and he should’ve had more fights at that weight before fighting the best, but at the end of the day he’s the one that didn’t improve on his game so who can you really blame here? 🤷🏽♂️ Plus he didn’t have to take the fight either, people act like fighters don’t make their own decisions.

Gamboa was a beast at featherweight but he didn't do anything noteworthy at lightweight. He's a textbook example of a fighter who lost the edge that made him great by moving up (and inactivity). Crawford is turning 33 soon and the fact that a former featherweight from 6 years ago remains his most accomplished opponent doesn't saying much about the depth of his resume.

Nothing but respect for this man he is a legend in his country and the pride of his family thats all I acknowledge in this story the positives he overcame alot
“There’s more to boxing than Tyson and Mayweather” I felt that.
I did too
Seeing Gamboa now makes people forget just how good this guy was in his early days. He was an absolute beast of a prospect
Got to give props to someone that sells the most important thing he has to support his family. True champion in my book
I was screaming at the telly good lad it's a stupid medal; you need to feed your child! That guy earnt my respect with his general attitude and behaviour. What a great loss it was that 50cent basically shafted the guy out of the right training he would need to become dominant in the sport. He was still fairly good despite all that mess dragging him down. Top fella I reckon.
Hunger and homeless are almost non existent in Cuba. I highly doubt he had to sell than medal to support his family. Edit: From what I can tell he did to pay for a birthday party for his daughters first birthday, which is noble but she wasn’t gonna starve if he didn’t do that.
He’s not the first Cuban Olympic athlete to do that.
@@darthchingaso3613 It is probably safe to say the you are not Cuban, are you?
@@or1134 I don't need to be Cuban to be able to know about history of Cuba and what life was like before communism(hint Hella racist and shity for the wroking class who were a majority of the population) or to tell the difference between us anticommunist propaganda and reality. Also here in the usa most amateur boxers and lots of pros have to have another job to get by cuz they have to pay for things like rent and trainers. Unlike Cuba where they provide public access to the top fighters and trainers, they dont have to worry about outta control rent prices, and have public Healthcare so they don't chase to pay for their own medical in a nation with the highest medical costs in the world and where medical bills are the leading csus eof bankruptcy. Lets not pretend poverty is something unheard of in the usa, especially among amateur boxers or fathers in their late teen/early 20s as he was at the time...
I never knew about the 50 cents angle, now we see why Mayweather and others called 50 cents a snake.
"cent", dumbass
@@pretorious700 it’s a simple spelling mistake, no need to be a dick

why do you call him that?
Sold his Gold medal? Damn. That must of hurt. Much respect to this man.

This was beautiful. Boxing is one of the most unforgiving and brutal sports in the world. One moment you're on top with the entire world screaming your name, and then the next you're forgotten or ignored by promoters who only want to fatten their pockets at your expense. Gamboa had a spectacular run, and he's one of my modern favorites because of it.
I can't remember the fighter, but he was at world championship standard, and the quote was something along the lines of: "When I beat X, I had a 1000 missed calls on my phone. When I lost to Y, I had 2 missed calls, and they were both from my mom." Makes you think.
Eternal Mirth sergio martinez when he won the title vs when he lost to cotto
its also one of the most bias sports out there when it comes to judges' scores since they are watching live at ringside you cant really have all angles, dont have time for replays and punch strength is subjective to a person its guaranteed a human error will happen. TKOs are the saving grace and the most clear cut objective wins

So much respect to Gamboa! The man risked everything all for his love of the sport and to provide for his family! Not everybody deserves a shot, but he proved he belonged in the ring with his extraordinary talent.
“we were just two warriors in the ring trying to get the victory” spoken like a true champion with no excuses! Much respect to both fighters ✊🏾

Great job, man. Thank you.
Gamboa was a beast and came from literally the bottom. Did it for his daughter. 50 cent was a poison to his career. Imagine if Mayweather Sr trained Gamboa after making the deal to Mayweather promotions.
don't care let me know when you find out. I do wonder why to
don't care most people blame 50 because he allowed him to fight Crawford after moving up in weight and only having 1 fight at that weight in a 2 year time span before fighting Crawford, They could’ve handled it better and he should’ve had more fights at that weight before fighting the best, but at the end of the day he’s the one that didn’t improve on his game so who can you really blame here? 🤷🏽♂️ Plus he didn’t have to take the fight either, people act like fighters don’t make their own decisions.
@don't care bc if he had someone like floyd they could've helped him strengthen his weakness. 50 was only interested in profiting off of him and didn't know shit about boxing
don't care yes you’re right he didn’t fix his defensive flaws but also promotional inconsistencies from an inadequate and uninterested promoter kept him inactive and on shelf. Which also resulted in his marketability reducing greatly
Mayweather sr aint sh1t 😂😂😂
Could have been a true super star but his is not unhappy ending. He’s out of Cuba & was able to earn a living doing what he loved. No matter what his bank account holds, it’s probably much more then he ever could have hoped to make living in Cuba.
That depends. If his family faces a big medical expense in America he could easily be bankrupted overnight. In Cuba, citizens have free medical care.
@@barrybarnes96 yeah horrible medical care, I rather lose everything and get my family real help, than get free horrible help, and he can afford health insurance obviously so it wouldn't ruin him

Sad part is Mayweather let him go after he built TMT in the shadows and gives Ellerbe and Haymond all the credit.
Cracking upload. Cheers man.
It's interesting, we like to think that for a sport like this it's all based on an athlete's ability, but in many ways professional boxing is like the music industry. Talent is unquestionably important, and yet, being recognized by the right people at the right time is just as important if you really want to make it big.
Gamboa was the guy who first got me into boxing, weirdly. When 50 sign him I got interested through the "beef". Then started watching Floyd, Pacquiao and others. I stayed up for Gamboa vs Crawford in the UK and watched on an illegal stream. Was gutted but also became a fan of Crawford that night who has gone on to have a great career

Yes i really like your channel most of d timewatching boxing nd geographical videos,,, thanks,,..
I remember years ago watching him fight before I knew who he was. His speed and footwork caught my attention. He definitely had great potential.
Great work as always. I think it was Roy Jones jr who put it best when he said that he was relying way too much on his speed and natural talent, which could fade across time and weight upgrade. That's when fundamentals come into play, which he lacked, being the natural talent that Gamboa was.
Josh Portnoy kinda ironic roy said that because that happened to him when he went up to hw and dropped down way fast. He lost speed and reflexes.
Great vid dude that’s why I’m subscribed I’ve would’ve never known these passionate fighters
Gamboa was my inspiration and I have been really wondering what happened to him. Thanks for the video.
A start of this fight I remember saying to myself that Gamboa was too fast for Crawford to catch. But then he got over confident. If he stayed with his style and gameplan during that early rounds to finish the fight he would have won it by unanimous decision. But that's the beauty of boxing.
You don’t think Crawford adjustments had anything to do with it?
@@devante_9346 nah... Gamboa got over confident with his early success in the fight and abandoned what was working. Once he opened up and began trying to trade, Crawford began to use his ability to counter and pick his spots. Crawford was dead in the water. Speed is hard to overcome in a controlled state, once it gets out of control it's all down hill from there.
@@bacchusthompson5834Very well put.
Was one of my favorite fighters to watch, sad to see that his career didn’t go as far as it could have, although he did achieve great things, he was destined for far greater. Still, what a career.

Great video. Miss watching Gamboa.
Gamboa had problems with top rank way before signing with 50 cent he had close to 17 months off before being able to fight Michael Farenas . 2009 was possibly the last time I can remember gamboa fighting 4x in a year
When people claim Bud hasn't beat any good fighters they should remember just how good Gamboa was?
Your right but crawford was just naturally the bigger fighter he fights at 147 now gamboa would never
Gamboa coming off inactivity and going up in weight still gave Crawford hell
Gamboa was a beast at featherweight but he didn't do anything noteworthy at lightweight. He's a textbook example of a fighter who lost the edge that made him great by moving up (and inactivity). Crawford is turning 33 soon and the fact that a former featherweight from 6 years ago remains his most accomplished opponent doesn't saying much about the depth of his resume.
except gamboa took a dive
cowardfraud beat excellent but way smaller fighter, that was not easy job either.
