    Wow, off topic, but what is it like living in Cuba? I just assumed that people in Cuba did not have access to the internet. Figured if they did, then they would all leave the country.

    Is it common for Cubans to have access? Are you logging in from home, or?

    This is such a good fight, too bad it probably isn't happening with their promoters and Top Rank seems to be taking Gamboa in a different direction. This fight could be really big in about a year but I"d love to see it now, it couldn't help but to be explosive.

    I guess Gamboa would be the favorite right now, he's easliy the more experienced guy but I would only slightly favor Gamboa, for now. I think Gamboa makes more mistakes and he can be hurt, I'm unsure on Broner's chin though, I don't know if its good or bad.

    gamboa is flawed , broner is inexperienced and untested at the world class level, both obviously talented....

    Broner lack experience, at this stage of his career he would get whooped by Gamboa! I can see Gamboa taking him out around the 7th or 8th. Broner has potential, bit he needs a lot of work and more fights with quality opposition.

    LOL, I live in the US! But to answer your question, there is Internet in Cuba and many Cubans do have it but not at home. They have to go to Internet places to use it.

    Gamboa by KO.

    When Broner was up against the ropes, doing his Floyd impersonation, he was still getting caught when he should have moved off. Gamboa would severely punish him in that position.

    As much as I hate to pick the guy with the proven Glass Jaw, I'm going with Gamboa. He's too quick and too much of a beast offensively not to find Broner's Chin while he's trying to be cute like Floyd.

    This is brilliant, ponce didn't take a round so I fail to see how that's unimpressive.

    Gamboa by decision. Styles make fights, and this would end up looking like Leonard vs. Benitez. Two counter punchers, very tactical, wouldn't be interesting to your average fight fan. However boxing purists would appreciate and enjoy it.

    Gamboa, easily.

    Broner has skills but he'd be way over his head in this one. It would probably be a boring fight, with Broner in full retreat after realising that Yuri is too fast/strong/good for him.

    However it plays out, Gamboa wins.
