    Would prefer if they both had a run out at the weight before they met but I guess I'll have to suffer it if they don't....

    The classic 'duck him to fight someone better'?

    And Peterson did actually beat Khan, so he is the one who should be moving on to better things.

    Rios v Gamboa is a fight I never expected, but it's intriguing. I'm not sold on Gamboa at all, I still believe he's more flash than fire, but he's got skills. Has he got the power to keep Rios off of him though?

    Antillon couldn't dent the guy, neither could Acosta: Gamboa's a sharp puncher rather than a brutal one. Can he fight the disciplined sort of fight needed to beat an excellent swarmer like Rios?

    Course Gamboa has the power. Acosta and Antillon are mediocre punchers. The explosiveness of Gamboa is on a completely different level to those two.

    looks like some of us are right about Rios making weight. He wants the fight at 140

    I wouldn't call Antillon and Acsota mediocre punchers at all, especially Acosta.

    And we have absolutely no idea how hard Gamboa will hit at 135.

    Went and watched Gamboas last 4 fights just now and feel that if he can take to the weight well he could win this fight. Possibly getting dropped by I dont feel that Rios is THAT big a puncher. He seems more the acumulative type and reckon Gamboas speed could cause problems especially if its at 135 and hes drained at the weight. IF gamboa can beat him up early and invest in some body work I reckon hed be able to take him cannot wait for this fight however.
