    And what are the expectations for him tonight? What are we looking for as far as improvement?

    not very. Gamboa moving down from 130 fighting a guy moving up from 122 and who's never performed well against anyone worth mention. At least he gave a tough fight to Mike Oliver, but Mike Oliver got KTFO in his very next fight against a gatekeeper.

    Rojas was a very good opponent though

    Average opponent actually, but better than this total non-threat tonight. Too bad Rojas pulled out, I guess a destructive loss in the hands of god-King supernatural is not something most people want.:yep

    Well lets not focus on Rojas....he pulled out for whatever reason (isn't this the 2nd time?)

    I am hoping we see some improvement in variety of attack and body punching, along with hopefully keeping his hands up.

    Amsterdam communicates with Gamboa via myspace, I told him exactly what to do tonight, you'll see a short, amazing performance in flawless form.:good

    I may even become head trainer if my tips work for King Yuri.

    Average opponent who provided the only blemish to two titleholders' records.

    Rojas couldn't secure a visa.

    Seeger is a midget compared to Gamboa, and I expect a destruction.

    This guy is a trailer park tough man participant that is trying to make some bucks by boxing, I was still hopping that Rojas was the fighters at least is a better fighter and is bigger too.

    I read it here when it happened actually. I have no source and it could be faulty info.

    Terrible opponent, it'll be a first round TKO.

    The Johnnie Edwards first round TKO gets underrated though, he was a pretty durable fighter overall and has proven that against solid mid-level competition, can give many hot prospects rounds and even upset some of the overrated prospects.

    Well I am going huge on the under, and quite honestly I will be shocked if he lasts more than a couple rounds against GOD Yuri

    I can't believe the Yuriorkis Gamboa hype....

    Juan Carlos Gomez is the best cuban fighter atm, and he'll probably beat Samuel Peter if he's given the chance.
