[url]http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=391770&cat=boxer[/url] According to BoxRec, Yuriorkis Gamboa will make his 1st defence of his newly won Interim WBA Featherweight title against former WBC Featherweight titlist Guty Espadas Jr. I assume this is a stay busy match untill we can have John/Gamboa.
Very smart choice. Arena is looking for Gamboa-Caballero for September, and Espadas is pretty tall himself with a decent punch and good amount of experience. People will point out he's an undeserving challenger and was KO'd by Juarez in 2 which is true, but the point here as Kid Cuba said, it's a keep busy fight for the big thing in the Fall, and it's intelligent match-making.
Since you like Boxrec so much, take a look at the record of Espada's las 7 opponents. Then, look for how many good fighters has he beaten in his career. This is another cherry picking fight. 2008-10-24 Espada fought a guy that was making his "PRO" debut. WHERE WAS THE FIGHT?????? The sindicate of taxi drivers buildingdeal, Cancun, Mexico. Do I need to say more????????????????????????
So Gamboa is continuing with his bum tour huh.. GUty Espadas Jr, are u kidding me? Espadas Jr has been DONE since wayyyyyy back.... The last fight ive seen was when he got beat down by Morales and morales stood over him and took a picture.. ahahhaha Morales is so bad ass. Gamboa VS Espadas Jr? that's low.
Except that wasn't Espedas. That was Fernando Velardez. If it's a stay busy deal to bridge to John or Caballero then fine.
Gamboa better fight these bums now, before Juanma steps up to 126. Because 126-130 will be Juanma's divisions for the next 2-4 years, and make no mistake he will own those divisions!!!!
Why don't you read what I said first... Who are you expecting him to fight in the mean time? This is a stay busy fight untill Gamboa/Caballero. Do I need to say more?
