    On the Rosado-Clottey undercard.

    Tune up type fight. HOPEFULLY, hes finally back and plans on being active.

    He could turn into another Rigo.

    Gamboa-Loma would be well worth the watch at 130

    Gamboa is done. He's got a glass jaw. I admire how he fought vs Crawford, who was clearly too big for him. He looked talented, but he's got a horrendous glass jaw.

    Up at 135, fighting a guy who is now a big 140 lbs maybe.

    Other than that, he may get caught now and then, but theres very few guys down at 130 who will hit like Crawford

    That was his second fight at 135 against a quality fighter. Gamboa is still a solid fighter with a good name. Hopefully he gets away from the King of Petty 50 Cent.

    HBO loves Gamboa very explosive fighter, 130 is the ideal weight for him he's calling out Loma.

    Gamboa should fight Walters, would be a great fight. I'd love to see a Lomachenko fight but I'm not certain about it, I don't think they'd just move up to face Gamboa the way he is now. However, if they continue having no options at 126 they should just take the fight.

    Loma has already said he'd fight Gamboa on Twitter at 130 after he called him out

    I love watchin Gamboa fight ... Hope he stays a lot more active .... With his lack of fighting though with a lot of 'down time' I can't see him making 130 anytime soon

    Gamboa is done but Pacquiao wasn't done after he got brutally knocked out against Marquez? People need to stop acting like Mayweather's win vs Pacquiao means anything.

    I believe with regards to Gamboa, a part of him is gone. His ultimate great killer instinct. At 130lbs however, he is going to be a major force and can beat anyone really.

    Lomachenko will take advantage of Gamboa's huge defensive flaws. Gamboa will give Lomachenko a tough fight.
