Arum on gamboa/lopez "You gotta wait for the cake to bake"

This is literally the only subject I agree with Arum on. This bout in a year or two should be massive.

 

What if one of them loses? It would be like someone taking the cake out and doing a massive **** on it. I know I'd rather a slightly undercooked cake than one that's covered in faeces.

 

Exactly. One of two things is going to happen here. Either one of them will lose, taking away from the appeal, or one (Juanma) will move up to a higher division. Thank you Arum for ****ing up yet ANOTHER fight.

 

hes exactly right, you get two young guys afraid to lose who are still green despite being top players in the sport and you get Bradley Vs Alexander

Let them develop continue to win maybe one loses in the process and you can get leonard vs hearns

 

patience is a virtue. If one of them loses, then

1) they can rebuild their rep in a few fight. A loss is not the end of the world.

2) a new star might be born in the winner.

 

well maybe you need to turn the ****in' oven up *******...we've been waiting 2 years already dickhead..

 

arum wouldn't put that bun in the oven..that fight was going to be boring as hell based on styles.

 

Both of these guys are approaching 30(Gamboa actually turns 30 this year). They're really not all that young and have been fighting for a while. I can't see how this bout gets any bigger.

 

Probably lining up the winner to fight pac

 

the thing is as long as pac is the cashcow, these guys will and will be second fiddle.

i'd like to see them fight but arum's the promoter and he's building up these two fighters very slowly. the benefits will pay off when these guys get paid in the millions.

 

this is true today we focus way too much on losses

early losses are good they are learning experiences

some fighters dont lose til their first big fight and fought to protect the 0 or didnt know what defeat felt like

a fighter who lost may not be afraid to lay it on the line

like how Leonard fought Hearns when Leonard lost his 0 and Hearns hadnt

I mean look at how Bradley and Alexander fought

now put in Khan who is phenomenal since defeat

 

Bob can take this cake and shove it up his ass. They should be negotiating a rematch by now.

 

Juanma is really the only one that can get a big following because of the PR fan base. But how many PR fans actually respect him. Arum won't let him fight caballero, and it makes it look like someone is scared of him. Even though Cotto had his ass kicked twice he is perceived to be someone who is always willing get in their with the best. Can you say the same thing about juanma?
