Jacked that this was finally made. Respect to Top Rank for pushing it through and Gamboa for having balls the size of Jupiter. I assume he's banking of Rios being drained and he better hope he is. Rios will be too much for him IMO but this will be must watch.
I don't think Rios will be a 100% though he really has no business fighting at 135 anymore. With that said I can't wait to see it and props to both men for getting this fight done.
Better boxer clearly but he's also 2.5 inches shorter and has an average chin. Jumping classes and fighting a banger like Rios is ballsy any way you slice it.
Bob is banking on Gamboa not being able to overcome the size differential... he knows the Cuban is just nowhere near as marketable as Rios and is hoping this fight will give Bam Bam a profile boost. Also, doesn't Ahmet Oner partially own rights to Yuri?
Yeah, I wanted Juan/Gamboa so bad! Uncle bob ****ed it up . . . this is a good consolation prize though
