    This could look like Juan Manuel Lopez Vs. Ponce.

    Gamboa doesn't take the risks JuanMa does. So it will take a while for the knockout. Round 3-5 I'm thinking. But, Ponce could pull the upset. And push to the win. He put up a fight with Broner and has many other good wins on his resume. But still, Gamboa is a knockout artist capable of beating Ponce.

    How do you see the fight going.

    He does but not as much as Juanma.

    I wanted to say Gamboa does not take the risks JuanMa does.

    ...In that case, I wanted to say "Sherlock Holmes was nothing without his PED's." and then use this emoticon:

    Gamboa by ko.

    Since Yuri, at times, leaves himself open and PDL has genuine ko power, you could argue he has a chance. I just can't see it though. Gamboa is too quick and too good - a different level of fighter. He probably gets him out of there in the mid-rounds.

    I was thinking 3-5 rounds. Give Ponce a chance though. He is one of the best opponents for Gamboa in this day and age.

    I've got to say I think Gamboa will humiliate de Leon. Maybe a mid-round ref or corner stoppage.

    I'm still hoping to see Gamboa-John, as unlikely as it seems. Jhonny Gonzalez would be a really fun fight while it lasts.

    PDL is a legit opponent but I think it's going to take someone special to beat Gamboa, who I think beats anyone under 135.

    PDL's improved since the Juanma loss but Gamboa will still KO him mid rounds.
