Elio Rojas(WBC Champ) calls out Yuriorkis Gamboa(WBA Champ)

yeah Rojas would be fine for me as any top 10 featherweight. the important thing is that he steps up in class now..
Concepcion vs Luevano was close until he knocked him out after the bell.. since he is with toprank i feel its not that surprising that he is in that Juanma and Gamboa to clean up the division game..

 

Yep. He said it today on a boxing show down here in DR.

 

Owch, only 1 person thinks Rojas would win.

 

lol so gamboa who hasnt fought anybody is the fan favorite and juanma who has fought better opponents is running and ducking because he's afraid... lol

:hat

 

Mi amigo PuertoRiqueño, when we look at both Gamboa's and Lopez's first 18 bouts, ( since Yuriorkis only has 18 bouts, we can only compare up to 18 fights ), we can clearly see that Gamboa has fought better opponents. Only after those 18 fights, is when Lopez has fought the better opposition. Just check both fighter's record on BoxRec and you will see that Yuriorkis has fought tougher fighters right from the start...

Even though many of Gamboa's opponents are not very famous, they still had good solid winning records, and Gamboa even beat 2 undefeated fighters in Marcos Ramirez ( 25-0 ) and Jonathan Barros ( 28-0 ). Gamboa has'nt faced a single fighter with a losing record yet like JuanMa has, all of Yuriorkis' foes have had " all winning records "... :good

Que Dios te Bendiga...

 

Believe me, Juanma wants no part of Gamboa. Neither does Arum.

 

this is a stupid way to look at it and the only reason you are using this type of reasoning is because it makes your boxer look better... but gamboa is older than juanma and both are champions so you cant go by number of fights and records... after both became champions who has fought the best opposition... juanma has won belts in two weight classes while gamboa keeps fighting nobodies no matter what the record saids when he fights them they're still chumps... remember a boxers record only tells half of the story

:hat

 

Gamboa by KO

 

Anymore news on this?

 

If Gamboa doesn't fight JuanMa, Caballero or John next this would be a good fight.

 

another KO win for Yuriorkis

 

Man, I am boricua too as you already know. I would love for Juanma to defeat Gamboa and I think he has the talent to do it. BUT, last few fights I expected Juanma to improve in some areas and fix some mistakes he makes. I didn't see none of that. I honestly would love to know what is going on with Juanma's training. Gamboa has way too much boxing experience. Juanma cannot make those mistakes in front of Gamboa and expect to win. He needs to be at his best to have a chance

I would love to see the boricua win. However, Gamboa is such a nice guy I will not mind seeing him go all the way to the top.

 

Gamboa
