    Caballero doesn't sell anywhere. He will be KO be either one, Gamboa or Juanma. So, its up to Gamboa if he wants to fight Rojas or Caballero first. After they clean the division the money will be in Gamboa/Lopez. And if Lopez doesn't improve the mistakes he still doing.........Then it will be Gamboa by KO

    I like Elio, but, Gamboa is the real deal. Gamboa by KO.

    if gamboa doesnt fight caballero but instead fights the wbc champ and gifted rojas, i wouldnt consider it a duck at all. now if he fights guty espadas or some ish like that then yes it will be

    i like rojas vs gamboa much more than gamboa vs caba for this summer, i hope they go with rojas

    Hey, if this fight happens then we can still see JuanMa/Caballero.

    Gamboa by mid TKO.

    I wouldn't consider it ducking, ducking would be if Gamboa insted fought a C+ fighter insted.

    From Elio's mouth, he is facing Jhonny Gonzalez next in August, here in the Dominican Republic.

    Well said amigo PuertoRiqueño, JuanMa is very good and strong but he can't make those mistakes against lighting quick and powerful Gamboa...

    The Gamboa-Lopez mega fight will not happen anytime soon as Arum has said officially that he wants them both to first clean-up the featherweights and then go at it down the line, he is trying to build up their mega fight for sure, in a way he is right, it does'nt make any sense having them fight now, let's wait until there is absolutely no one available in the featherweights division for them and then place them together in the same ring, it will be a mega fight for sure. Gamboa IMO, is too quick, slick, powerful and explosive for Lopez... :good

    Yeah, as a matter of fact I was going to make a thread about this but you beat me to it!!

    If Rojas thinks that he can handle Gamboa, he must really be optimistic. At least I give him credit for wanting to face the Cuban but he better not or he will lose that WBC belt for sure...

    Funny thing is that Don King said that Rojas is the best featherweight in the World...:-(

    What??? Has'nt Don King seen Gamboa, Lopez and John??? :huh

    Either way, Rojas is a good Champion and he will make a good win for Gamboa's resume. I would prefer for Yuriorkis to first flatten Caballero and then flatten Rojas, no disrespect for those fighters but Caballero has a very big mouth ( he needs to be tought a lesson ), and Rojas is very " daring " for wanting a piece of Yuriorkis...

    Gamboa's really improved his defense in his last few fights. He's really coming into his own and I don't think anybody can stop him at 126lbs.

    Gamboa is way too fast and strong for Rojas.
