    Mikey Garcia has called out Gamboa after his one sided UD over Juan Carlos Burgos. If the fight happens who wins and how.

    Gamboa has a way of underperforming. I think Gamboa will get countered and knocked out.

    It's inevitable he hits the canvas at least once, even if he sees the final bell I think.

    tough fight for Garcia. They may both hit the canvas at least once. I think he stops Gamboa late.

    Would love to see this fight. Garcia wins on points, I think.

    Gamboa's whiskers are suspect. I wouldn't be surprised if Garcia starches him.

    Gamboa overwhelms him with speed and beats him to death

    I think this fight is going to be next. Garcia is not a powerful at 130 as he was at 126. Burgos had him in trouble for a little while and I'm sure Gamboa was watching. Gamboa speed is what is going to bother Garcia. I think this is a 50/50 fight.

    Gamboa stoppage, I can see Garcia dropping him but wont finish him, Gamboa is too skilled and too fast Mikey doesnt have the best head movement he will get caught alot

    :good He won't replace Broner as the poster boy for glass chin's, but he's not exactly Jake LaMotta.

    Garcia has never fought a fighter with speed like Gamboa. And he's been fighting the same type of fighter for the last few years now. I want to see how he adjust when Gamboa beats him to the punch constantly.

    Will he up the punch output? Will he remain calm and try to counter? Will he break? Garcia has never been tested at the top level, but then again, neither has Gamboa.

    I favor Gamboa 60/40 if the fight gets made.
