    Team Gamboa approached Demarco for a fight in the spring, and Demarco declined. Source is Dan Rafael. I'll post link in a second.

    He got his ass handed to him by Valero and Broner. he's in no rush for a third one.

    Agreed. Those were two hard losses.

    Gamboa is going to be in the same boat as Broner. Forced to move to 140 bc there is no one at 135

    Gamboa wanted Bradley at 140, Bradley wanted Gamboa to go up to 147 :lol:

    140 would have been good for that fight,

    I reckon he needs 2/3 confidence fights before he's back in the big leagues

    Demarco's had a tough road. He gets a free pass for taking a light touch or two.

    One can't expect him to take on Gamboa after a devastating beat down from Broner.

    Demarco can't handle speed and power he would be frozen by Gamboa's speed and power just like he was against Valero and Broner.:deal He would get knocked out, smart move by Demarco.

    Gamboa was 148 in the ring for his last fight

    Bradley was 147 in the ring vs Pacquaio...

    Just stop cutting weight and fight lol.
