Thats what Gamboa Knew......

He could have outboxed Rios and still lost because it wasn't in Arum's plans. He knew Arum's gameplan from the start and wasn't going to lose his '0' with a bull**** decision.

 

maybe so.

 

heres an old conspiracy thread of mine about the situation :yep :think

Definitely in my mind I think Arum puts pressure on the judges, somehow he "has" them.......
I don´t mean that they are necessarily corrupts.....but somehow, someway, Arum has them on his side....

 

let me give you a hint

If it was Gamboa in there it wouldn't have gone to a decision

 

Yeah..but I don´t think it´s only a matter of money.....
In the boxing world there is a lot of "exchange of favors", I mean...like in politics you always owes something to someone and that´s the way this big machine works.....

 

Smart move Gamboa

 

But does it even matter? If Gamboa was to actually beat Rios which I doubt, I actually think he would have been stopped so good decision, WE all know who won, so he did't get the "official" win, we know Abril won, nothing changes that, it would be the same if Gamboa gets robbed, we would all know he won.

 

I doubt it. Gamboa can't spend his career worrying about getting robbed. This wasn't the reason he didn't fight Rios - he must be kicking himself that he didn't given the performance.

 

I agree, raising his profile to that extent would have redeemed the sting of getting robbed.

 

Gamboa isn't worried about Rios. No doubt Arum or friends have an affect on the decision. Boxing needs a clean up
