What happened in this fight?

[Rover]

Hamed takes it. Gamboa too easy to hit.

[p4p1]

Hamed for me as well at his best he was fast hard to hit and only needed one small opening, which Gamboa would provide.

[RadioElRadar]

Hamed by mid-rounds stoppage in a fire-fight for me

He'd provide some big openings IMO.

[Counter-puncher]

pretty sure both would be hitting the deck at some point here

Probably multiple times like the Kelley fight, and I think the result would be the same.

Naz fairly early. As others have pointed out, Gamboa provides the openings, and I can't see Gamboa getting up from a flush shot from Hamed.

It could turn into a bit of a firefight, like the Kelley fight, but I think the outcome would be a win for Naz anyway.

Naz, aside from his power, had tremendous guts. I can't see too many beating him in a straight ahead manner. It was necessary to adapt and outbox him like MAB did if you want to win. Not everyone can do that, I don't thin Gamboa could in this case.

even in the Barrera fight the two times Berrera almost went back to the way he normally fought he got tagged hard.

Yeah, but overall he showed quite a bit of discipline, though he'd done that also in the Jones rematch.

I agree I was just pointing out that as controlled a fight as Barrera fought the two little slip ups he made and marched forward got him tagged, if he had of fought that way the whole fight I think we can agree he would of gotten himself knocked out. Coming forward against someone like Naseem means real trouble.

[Rover]

I agree he'd have been KO'd fighting like that.

[Giancarlo]

Naz.

Wonder what he is up to now.

Whatever it is, it includes a lot of eating based on what I've read about his weight.

I was literally seconds away from saying the same thing. Except I was just going to say "Most likely, eating"

I'd pick Naz by KO.
