    Glad to see I'm not the only one going back and forth of that match as well. I initially went with Rocky, and still might, I haven't firmly settled on picking Gamboa yet. They both have the potential to give each other a ton of problems, it's far more competitive and 50/50 than most people seem to think.

    I agree.

    Both guys are faded (although possibly shot) but Gamboa always relied more on athleticism than Martinez. Usually when those guys age, they might see the openings but they can't capitalize. And really their talent (speed/power) is what makes them special in the first place (see RJJ). I always thought Pac was in this camp but he actually has underrated skills to go along with his talent, which is why he can compete even at 40.

    Now Martinez has been more inactive than Gamboa but it's not like Gamboa's performances have been all that great (he lost to Sosa 100%). Gamboa hasn't scored a KO in years and I don't think he'll outbox Martinez. Early in his career, Gamboa knocked you out but he was always flawed as a fighter, even at his best (his defense was always shaky). Unless Martinez is shot and his punch resistance is completely gone, I think he'll either score a late stoppage or win a decision. Martinez is actually the better boxer IMO. Gamboa would be smart to empty the clip early and hope for a stoppage. I think the longer the fight goes, the worse it is for him.

    Yeah the only real pick em fights according to the odds are Ramirez v Hooker and the Dawejko v Hernandez fight which wasn't added

    Martin UD, Gamboa UD, Davis KO, Williams SD, Farmer UD

    Still have to think about the other two fights, Corrales and Hooker are very tempting
