    I posted this is another thread;

    Well, I've been on the Gamboa bandwagon since day one and I'm not getting off anytime soon. It would show amazing confidence to jump up two weight divisions to fight a monster who really should be at 140.


    One thing - Gamboa doesn't have a bad chin. Most of his knockdowns were as a result of him being off-balance and a little reckless. The only time he even looked a little hurt was when Jiminez hit him with his forearm. That's not to say Rios can't hurt him though - his size, strength and power mean he almost certainly can - but being down several times doesn't automatically mean you can't take a punch.


    This is the toughest fight of both guys careers and I think Gamboa can do it. Yuri by decision, where Rios blames being weight-drained for the loss.

    The Cuban Bon Bon is back and better than ever! Gamboa wins by Cuban boxing clinic or late TKO. New mega-star on April 14 " YURIORKIS GAMBOA " . ;)

    WAIT WAIT WAIT.

    So a dude who maxes out at 140 naturally

    is fighting a dude who maxes out around 155+ naturally...

    Rios going down in weight (as usual)
    and gamboa going up..

    Holy crap

    Will be like a 20pound weight difference and a 4inch height difference.


    If Gamboa wins he deserves so much respect.

    Gamboa takes this, i see many here jump to write him off, he is better boxer i think he will win, plus this weight is hard for Rios to make.

    It is a tough fight for both fighters, kuddos on both of them for making it happen.
