    Gamboa takes this imo.
     
  2. Gamboa will shred him.

    It's the perfect fight for him to announce himself and prove his undoubted ability.

    I'm surprised Arum is making this actually.

    I'm pretty sure he said he thinks Rios will win.

    Rios is going to cain him! Gamboa will box and move for the majority, but there will come a moment Gamboa will have to stand and fight, and I don't think he has the chin to take Rios' best shots.

    His best chance is if Rios' new nutritionist doesn't have an effect and he is completely dead at the weight, more so than against Antillon and Murray

    Wow. Nice fight, shame Gamboa doesn't have experience at the weight. Gamboa wins, he's too quick and accurate.

    Rios will keep coming though while it lasts.

    Great matchup

    I thought Rios was struggling to make 135 and moving up?

    I do. I've been a massive Gamboa fan since like, his debut or whatnot, but on fight night I think Rios will be way too big and indont think Yuriorkis will have the dig at 135 to keep him away.

    Really hope I'm wrong! And why is my prediction sought after, I know very little about this kinda' stuff! :lol: :good

    Great fight! FOTY candidate for sure.

    This goes similar to Rios-Acosta, with Gamboa completely out boxing Bam Bam for the first 6 rounds then Rios taking over and stopping him late.

    Rios KO 10.

    This fight is awesome.

    So many factors to take into account. Styles, weight, speed, technical ability, heart, power, grit.

    Can't wait for it. Props to both guys for taking the fight as the weight could represent a real risk for both, it's a fight that didn't have to happen and they both could have easily plodded on against less riskier opponents. Hope the rest of the boxing world takes note.

    Gamboa TKO5
