    I think the size and power of Rios would probably trump Gamboa's speed and athleticism if true. (Plus we have to see how well Gamboa retains his speed and present power at 135) It'll be fun to watch, that's for sure.

    great fight , i see this one going to Gamboa imo.. too fast on his feet for rios never mind the hand speed lol , Rios is a warrior but i think that any boxer would give him trouble as his style is more suited to a slugger/brawler

    This is fantastic news because this is an amazing fight. Props to both men for taking the fight and for Gamboa for stepping up, us boxing fans deserve a fight like this. Only problem is I'm torn between the two :lol:

    **** Mayweather vs Pacquaio it's guys like these we should be supporting! :thumbsup

    Yeah but how long has Gamboa been around? How many high profile fights has he been? Case closed. Arum is a ****, and this is what, 1 good Top Rank fight in 10 years? Get the **** outta here dude.

    and even if you do hurt him, there is still no gurantee...Acosta had him hurt and still ended up getting KTFO...How i see Gamboa getting whooped...except he wount hurt Brandon like Acosta did, and will get beat up worse.

    Gamboa has already signed thus the reason I said the fight is official.

    looks like Alvarado is still going to be on the undercard vs TBA

    HBO is still Showtime's Daddy
