Bon Bon there's no point for this poll because we will never c Rios at 135 again, the guy is a lazy fuk that likes to eat, he is 25 and after 3 months training you can still c he is a fat a$$, he is moving up because he is a mini Solis and he will get demolish as soon as he face a good fighter and this time doesn't have to be a technical fighter, Alvarado, Prescott, Maidana, Matthysse, Alexander, Khan either one of them will make Rios like the ****** he is, and to answer your question even before this fight Gamboa by any way he decide to do it...
Gamboa has a tight defense when he want it, Gamboa-DeLeon, the thing he has never being put to the test do to his advantages over everyone he has fought and probably the ones that are coming, Rios is a slow come forward brawler that will never get inside Gamboa's guard, a least not for the time been, Gamboa will take it to school and he will feel the punches...
I'm going to ask just one question to those ppl labeling Gamboa as a Glass jaw, have you ever seen Gamboa hurt? I mean really hurt ala Juama, Salido in the twellfth round against Gamboa, Khan-Maidana, Vazquez-Marquez, Pacquio-Hussein, etc... There is your answer.
Gamboa would had mop the floor with any fighter with Rios level of talent, slow and come forward, actually Rios gets the KO by accumalation more than one punch, he is not a guy that will knock you out with one punch unless you are real a case of weak chin... You are giving too much credit to a guy that have no talent whatsoever and balls along will not do it against a fighter that will not get intimidated, and the pedigre of Gamboa.
Kinda like sayin Hopkins dominated Pavlik so he'd do the same to Taylor. I also disagree anything Abril does Gamboa can do 3 times better! Bon Bon your not reasonable as the other more knowledgeable Cuban posters, are you? I wouldn't rule out Abril giving Gamboa a loss either.
There's no way in this freakish world Abril beats Gamboa. Firts off Gamboa was the much better amateur at the International Level ( and Abril was a good one too but nationally ), then Gamboa is a much better pro in every department. The advantage that Abril has over Gamboa are his height and reach and Gamboa has fought tall guys like that in Cuba. I think I will do a poll on this fight! :good
