Mr. Seeger had absolutely no time to prepare mentally or physically for the boxing style that a Gamboa employs, or to study the videos. Again, his was a last minute sub situation when the scheduled boxer, Jose Rojas, backed out of the engagement. In my mind this makes Al Seeger even more courageous than he is, and has always been throughout his boxing career. This kid, maybe not a household name to some boxing fans, is a phenomenal athlete, and a world class boxer. His reach, his poetry of movement and his record of defeat by knockout of the majority of his world-class opponents speaks volumes for his talents. Go back and review Al Seeger, both as an amateur, and as a professional, and one would be unable to find anything to disqualify him from world-class status. The kid is a wonder, and a beauty to behold. The results of this bout for Al Seeger, while disappointing, are short-term, but I guarantee that he has learned a heck of a lot from the experience. Al never talks trash like many other boxers, is humble, a great man, and overall, a boxing professional, like the former greats. I cannot recall another like him. I have no doubt that the boxing world has not heard the last of this young fantastic boxer. Mr. Gamboa may have won this fight, but even in the results of this night’s engagement, Al Seeger is still a champ.
