    I'll make it short buddy . . . if Rojas can lose to Cris John by a UD . . . how can you expect the guy to make it past Gamboa ???

    Rojas has already 6 loses! :deal

    Gamboa by stoppage before 7th.

    Gamboa will stop him within five. He was better at the lighter weights IMO.

    Not a certainty that John would beat Gamboa IMO, 65-35 IMO.

    I don't know **** about this Rojas guy.
    He does hold quite an impressive win over Celestino Caballero.
    Most of his losses were early in his career. John is a solid fighter so losing to him is not a big shame imo.

    Judging solely by his record I'd say he definately has a chance (considering less qualitative opponents were able to tag and put down Yuri as well).

    I expect Gamboa will beat the **** out of him, even if he goes down. He just gets back up angry.

    I think he'd have too much for John too, good and basic fighter as he is.

    Gamboa by stoppage. I've spoke against him in the past but its real impressive to see his activity.

    Rojas is no pushover, but I'll still go with Gamboa by late TKO.
