On HBO: Brandon Rios vs Yuriorkis Gamboa (at 135) Mike Alvarado vs Ruslan Provodnikov :happy Also seen on twitter that Arum is saying that JMM-Peterson is close and could take place at Cowboys Stadium in July :think. Both Peterson and JMM will have keep busy fights in Mexico in March (on the same card) :think. But seriously, Gamboa-Rios with Alvarado-Prov is awesome!!!
looking forward to that one! seems we have to wait an age for every decent card these days, lets hope theres more like this one
Think for Gamboa/Rios there's an excuse ready for both guys if they lose...Rios can say he was struggling with the weight and Gamboa can say the jump up was too much for him. It's a really intriguing fight IMO.
I'm leaning with Gamboa but he can be so reckless. Could all depend on how Rios looks on the night as well. Prov vs Mike is a cracking undercard fight as well. Has to be a war that one
I don't think Rios can make the weight safely. I see this going in a similar way to Pac vs De La Hoya. Gamboa's speed will prove the difference, late stoppage.
