licking my chops over this matchup, i can see gamboa being too quick for rios early on but rios slowing him down with some body rips and rocking him in the later rounds. Potential foty candidate
Looks like this fight is in serious jeopardy. Gamboa didnt turn up to the miami presser. Word is that he is in las vegas with a floyd associate. Toprank are going ahead with tomorrows LA presser....that will tell more. But it sounds like rios v gamboa is off. Sounded to good to be true....
There is photos circulating as most would know of Gamboa looking in great shape & training at Mayweather's gym in Vegas. Whether Gamboa shows up in LA will determine if the fight still goes on....doesnt look good.
looks like zero chance unfortunately. i thought it was a strange to take this fight anyway at this stage.
Still all very up in the air...which aint good. No confirmation on anything. You would imagine before this week is out something will be announced.
Would not suprise me if it ended up being Rios v Alvaredo @ 140! That would be a ****ing war and almost make up for Gamboa, the ****, pulling out!
No complaints from me if its replaced with Rios vs Alvarado at 140...that has WAR written all over it.
I dont blame gamboa here. Its on toprank...they never got gamboa's signature on a bout agreement and they along with ahmet oner changed the contract anyway ( in tooranks favour). Going ahead with press conferences when a fighter hasnt signed is stupid. Gamboa didnt like the contract and didnt sign.
