    I can see Rios pull out a TKO8 or 9. I think Gamboa is bullshitting, he is a super feather calling out Rios who is moving up to Jr. Welterweight. I can't see the fight happen at lightweight with Rios claiming to no longer want to fight in the division.

    Could be April 14.


    Rios returning that day at Mandalay Bay per Steve Kim.
    Gamboa is possible.

    Would be huge!

    Rios cannot fight at 135 anymore, if he fights Gamboa at 135 he's gonna get overwhelmed by his speed and skills and Gamboa can crack. The Rios that fought Murray would get destroyed by Gamboa.

    Rios can bang and Gamboa's chin is questionable.
     
  5. I think Gamboa pretty much outclasses Rios.

    Think Mayweather Hatton.

    RĂ­os CAN'T make 135 anymore. FFS, did you see his picture versus Murray??? He was like the guy from The Machinist! Sunken eyes, protruding cheekbones, strange pale color. That is not healthy. He shouldn't try to fight at 135 anymore.

    I'll reserve judgement until I see how this nutritionist works out for Rios.

    135, Rios struggled and Gamboa is going up to unfamiliar territory

    could back fire either way but id rather gain weight rather than lose

    is Gamboa taller?

    he will be much quicker and is sharper but will he have Rios off of him, i think he hits hard enough and Rios is easy enough to hit for Gamboa to have success

    hope its a shoot out

    rios by ko in the later rounds.

    hes just too big even while being weight drained i just dont see how a much smaller gamboa can pull off with a win
