Does not sound like Rios vs Broner will happen anytime soon

Yes it would be a smart fight as there's no names at 130 for him. Broner said he's up for it so let's do this. Gamboa is a better win for Broner than any of the guys fighting at lightweight now. Lightweight division is pretty **** at the moment. It was quality a while back when Marquez, Guerrero and Valero were knocking about there.

 

I'd say he'd weigh in about 143 probably giving away 5 lbs or so to Broner. Gamboa has been knocked down but never really hurt. That said, he definitely doesn't have an iron chin, but all he has to do is box clever. He has better footwork, speed and skill than Broner.

They have one common opponent. Broner lost to that one (in the eyes of practically all non black people), while Gamboa hardly lost a round.

I want to see good fighters fighting each other. It's a more intriguing fight than anyone currently campaigning at 135.

 

Broner-Rios would the the most entertaining "Max Kellerman Face Off" to date.

 

Rios is just telling it like it is. Those who thought this fight would happen would be wishful thinking at best. Top rank and GBP aren't working with each other.

 

Like I said, in the eyes of all non black people. You have no perspective when it comes to black American fighters.

Broner has definitely improved. Doesn't suddenly make him Floyd.

I've read Gamboa walks around over 150 between fights. He's known to cut a lot of weight. He's a chunky fella. Cotto is an inch taller and look where he's campaigning.

 

Rios ain't making 135 anymore, hell I'll be surprisede if can make 140. It ain't happening, not to mention what everyone has already pointed out, the Top Rank and Golden Boy beef is just another obsticle.

 

What an idiotic comment. :-( Generalize much?

 

People were absolutely pissed at Rios, they shitting all over him. He missed weight for the second straight fight, and came back heavier on his retry. There wasn't much post fight anger due to the fact that he was the benefactor of one of the worst decisions in recent memory, that became the focal point.

 

broner was gettin smacked around by little ass ponce deleon. gamboa has a great chance at beating broner. Haymon would never make that fight for Broner though

 

If he had trouble with a poor man's version of the shoulder roll (Abril), Rios would get absolutely embarrassed and likely KOed by Broner. Doesn't mean I don't want to see it and this "feud" between GBP and TR can never be justified.
