Ríos wants to fight Gamboa... @140 lbs.

... well he may have problems with 135 but he expect Gamboa to move 3 divisions to fight him ... for what? Gamboa is the star of the two, why even care about Brandon?
... but I guess that if Gamboa move to 140 he will next want to fight at 147

 

ya I think Gamboa is simply just the better fighter

 

Me personally, I would much rather see the fight at 135...I think 140 will be too much for Gamboa and I can see him getting a savage beating at this weight.

 

Gamboa can't fight at 140 this fight will never be made.

 

Realistically, this should end all talk of this fight. At 140, I'm just not interested.

Rios against Maidana or Matthyssé would be fantastic. Unfortunately for Yuri, the 130lb division is dead. He should have one or two more fights there at most before trying to go after the top Lightweights.

 

isn't Maidana with Goldenboy?, that fight ain't happening...

 

He'd kill him in the face.

 

It was a good idea for them to meet at 135 but if Rios has to move to 140 then this fight should be put to rest, atleast for now. I always thought Rios should look to move to 140 and then 147 to try to get himself in the Pacquaio mix. Even withouth Pac there are tons of options at 140 and 147 for Rios. I wouldn't be shocked if his first fight at 140 was Alvarado which is a good fight itself.

Gamboa still has some nice options from 126-135. At 126 Arum has Lopez(if he beats Salido) and Garcia which are good fights and in another couple fights Gamboa-Donaire could be huge. 130 has a great fight with Broner and 135 has some nice possibliities. Gamboa simply needs to become more active and make some of those nice fights.

 

Rios v Madaina .... what a fight that would be, 2 warriors

 

I really don't think the Chilean would be able to handle the Honduran's pressure and would crumble in the late rounds.

 

Rios would've beaten his ass regardless

 

let him fight Ortiz

 

Rios has potenial to have some great fights at higher weights. Gamboa-Donaire is mouthwatering.

 

Rios is ducking. He can make 135. He's just notoriously lazy when it comes to road work. He doesn't put the miles in.
