    Juarez is getting stopped, won't be competitive at all. Pointless fight.

    ****in' Juarez has lost 5 straight in a row now...Well 6 if you count the gift draw in the first fight against Chris John, **** is ridiculous.

    we'll see if HBO approves this mismatch, hopefully not. It flies in the face of the quality matchups they been working on for 2012.

    I'm excited in as much that Gamboa is fighting and we get to see him again, but this is a total mismatch. I could think of 20+ better fights.

    When was the last time a 126lber went up 2 weight divisions to fight a 135lber?

    Then again, I'm always excited when Gamboa fights. Best pure talent in the past 2 years.

    Can Gamboa not make 126 lbs anymore?

    I'm not sure but Rocky has still been fighting at 130 lb, only fought north of there once and dropped back down. Gamboa would be making the bigger move, but neither are lightweights.

    It's always a pleasure when Gamboa destroys an opponent, but Juarez lost too often lately.
    21 fights in 5 years sounds good to me. Hopefully he gets a better opponent after that.

    Didn't realise that, cheers. Its a prudent move on Gamboa's part, but nonetheless I'm excited to see him fight, in the same way I was excited to see Tyson fight Tony Tubbs.

    OH DAMN! Just when you think we got rid of Juarez he shows up again like a turd that just won't flush. DAMN. I hope Gamboa knocks him the hell out so we won't have to see him again.

    Absolute garbage fight. Isn't Juarez on like a 5 fight losing streak?

    Gamboa TKO5.

    This.

    Gamboa should just move up since there's pretty much no one who wants to fight him and Arum doesn't want to feed JuanMa to him.

    :deal.

    Very bad match-up Juarez is a done as a fighter. What sadist put this fight together? Juarez is not even a top 15 ranked contender.

    Oye Bon Bon, Juarez es Mexi-Americano. El es de Houston, TX. Nomas para dejarte saber. Para mi es igual, pero ya sabes como se pone una gente. :good
