    Really though, who has Broner fought? I understand that people like to jump on the bandwagon of a flashy, mouthy American boxer but Broner has never fought anyone even remotely close to the level of Gamboa. Broner looks the goods but he is still unproven, he hasn't fought any elite fighters yet. The talk of 'Broner by easy ko' is just plain ridiculous.

    I'd favour broner. I think Gamboa needs to fight more regularly. I think he could stay where he is and rack up wins and wait for other big money fights to come a long.

    Broner will time him eventually and send him to a mini-coma, the size disparity is too important in that match up.

    Broner would knck him out by the mid rounds after feeling him out an getting warm. Never even seen Gamboa at 135

    You know a guy is over hyped when he is he is rewarded a p4p ranking & ppl claim every elite fighter is easy work lol.I can def see broner beating him but all this talk That he's going to KO him in the first punch or round is just plain stupid.Gamboa movement & power will cause broner problems.

    Broner's power might prove the difference maker down the stretch, but I think Gamboa would use his shorter height to his advantage, and take what PDL did and apply it much much better. Staying low, throwing combinations, going in and out, side-stepping, feinting and bating, etc. I think he'd go into the second half of the fight with a lead on points.

    I'd pay good money to see this. Would be a really fun and intriguing style matchup.

    So Gamboa never impressed you coming along but Broner did?

    Gamboa was the cup of tea everyone wanted a couple of years ago. He came right out of the gates fighting the guys that Broner is fighting NOW.

    Didn't Gamboa duck the **** out of Rios already?

    And now people are saying Broner is scared of this wannabe?

    I don't just care about Floyd's camp/Floyd/Leonard etc etc.

    I care about good boxing matches. I want this fight to happen but Rios has nothing for Broner. Broners a G and a top fighter.

    ****'s sakes, Rios was destroyed 10-2 by Abril and you think he's going to beat Broner.
