"Afraid you're gonna lose" and "afraid of losing" have different meanings. "Afraid you're gonna lose" means you are afraid of losing a specific game, competition, etc., and the act of losing will happen in the future. "Afraid of losing" is a general statement that means you are afraid of losing any game, competition, etc.
