Rios v Gamboa looks set to be called off...

About time they gave us a big fight that we actually want to see. I think Gamboa will win it in the late rounds but i can see them both going down atleast once, looks a very good fight. Just hope it lives up to expectations.

 

Gamboa should have more than enough to outbox Rios but Gamboa still has an air of vunerability about him - especially moving up in weight against this guy. It'll be great while it lasts. Can't wait!

 

I think it will have Cotto - Margarito II vibes.

 

Easy win for gamboa il probably have about 20k+ on him

 

:rofl Wanker

 

You been building it back up since your banker "system" went bust over christmas on Arsenal?:rofl:rofl

Think Bam Bam scores the come from behind KO in the 9th or 10th, his relentless style will pay off IMO.

 

You're a bad, baad, baaad man... but I like you're thinking.

 

Hope the health is well Shaun. PM greg with your pick this week.

 

Better get your VCash up then, hadn't ya Mr Highroller?

 

Gamboa will announce himself on april 14th -it's about time!

 

Gamboa's muscle mass has me believe he will weight hop a bit. His speed lets me think he might be able to handle it.

Rios looked dead at the weight last time out and it seemed to affect his performance.

I know Rios wants the big fights but I'm not sure if he may have taken a big risk here. If he doesn't enforce his power then things could get tough.

 

I had Rios taking this before. But i think Gamboa will win this if he fights the right fight. He'll be too fast for Rios. Also Gamboa will be just fine at 135lbs, i don't think he's THAT small and i think Rios will struggle to make it. I think Gamboa has the attributes to win this relatively comfortably and surprise everybody. His vulnerabilities will stop me from wagering on it though. lol

 

Pressure fighter vs speedy boxer, always loved this style matchup.

Gamboa isn't that small, he even had his first few fights at super feather. He has the speed as well as the skill to completely outbox and outmanoeuvre Rios en route to a TKO. I think Rios is underestimating how difficult it will be for him to make 135, which doesn't bode well for the later rounds.

Either way, I can't wait for this fight

 

Stopped coughing up blood at lease. Booted oot the hospital coz they needed the bed... the fannies. Left you and the boys a wee battlecry on THAT thread.

...till the bitter end...

 

Gamboa will be to fast and because of the opponent you won't see him taking his foot off the gas. He needs to fight a smart fight but I don't see the move to 135lbs being a problem.

I don't think Rios can make the weight safely and can see it going in a similar way to Pacquiao vs De La Hoya.
