    I really don't see anyone at 130 who can give Lomo a close and fair fight but Gambao. I think Gambao is smart and quick enough to break Lomo pattern of fighting.

    On paper, IDK, not really IMO. But stylistically Gamboa is probably the hardest fight I can think of in that weight class.

    What weight class is Gamboa at currently?
    (Has anyone seen dude latley)

    Dude has that lil' stalky body type that get heavy real quick.

    Has anyone seen him since the "Bud" fight?

    Eh, I think Gamboa gets KO'd by a sharp counter he doesn't see coming.

    Yeah, he had a bout in Cancun or something afterward and another fight not too long ago. He is back at 130.

    Lomachenko is another excellent fighter from Eastern Europe.

    I wouldn't write off Gamboa here.

    Great fight, I would love to see it. Gamboa needs to be more active, I hope he still has it.

    What a great fight! I just hope, Gamboa would get his act together and starts to build his reputation again. Fight would be a chin check for Loma. I can't see Loma stopping Gamboa either..

    If Gamboa's not faded I'd love to see how Loma would deal with his speed and movement. 130's such a great division, but really Salido, Walters, and Gamboa are by far the best fights for Loma, with other guys at 130 just icing on the cake.

    I like Gamboa but feel he's probably fairly far removed from the guy who'd previously troubled people's p4p lists. I'm still gutted we never got to see him rip through Juanma. Salido spoilt that party too.

    Gamboa is still an active fighter?

    Nelly has been off the big stage for a while. He wasted his career at 135lbs where he didn't look 'elite' at all.
