Rios vs Abril Agreed/Gamboa to be sued

so gamboa is still with top rank?
Did he call the fight off due to money (no floyd) for the fight or another matter?

How many fighters tried to get away from Arum but failed?

 

Top Rank has officially filed a federal lawsuit against Gamboa to recover damages. Among other things, Top Rank claims Gamboa not only agreed to take the Rios fight - he was forwarded an advance on the money [Gamboa allegedly accepted a $70,000 advance]. Gamboa also cost Top Rank thousands of dollars when he allegedly requested the scheduling of a press conference in his hometown of Miami, which he no-showed.

Between the time he accepted the deal on February 16th, and the time he made a decision to withdraw - Top Rank is claiming that a rival promoter [or promoters, indivdiuals outside of Top Rank] spoke to Gamboa and persuaded the Cuban boxer to withdraw from the Rios contest. The alleged culprits have not been named in the legal documents.

 

They both beat the crap out of Acosta though (a slight exaggeration, perhaps)

 

Meh, Rios did for the last few rounds, the Abril fight was a bit too messy really.

Anyhow, the Abril fight was just embarrassing. At least Rios is also a top fighter, and merely had the attributes to take advantage of Aguacerito down the stretch. Abril's not very good, and would have never stood a chance against a non-shot Acosta. It hurt a lot more. Thus I hope Bam Bam pummels the dick.

 

Should put Mike Alvarado in with Brandon Rios instead.

 

Gamboa is taking chicken lessons from Void.....................

 

Such a shame if we miss watching Gamboa in his prime. Hope he gets out of it alright.

 

whats Abril like. Havent seen muich of him?

 

Gamboa bottled it, plain and simple.

Abril is a decent fighter, but Rios will deal with him inside 8 IMO.
