Official highlights
I guess is about time for Gamboa to think in retirement before being hurt badly. He was a good boxer but his speed and reactions are clearly decaying, non sense for continuing on this hard activity.
Davis did very well but just in 2 of these rounds he got in trouble due to a good combinations connected by Gamboa.
