Thread created by bwoaye i found it interesting and wanted to share


Last week, Miguel Angel Garcia fought in an IBF final eliminator in the undercard of Gamboa-Solis. A win was going to elevate him as Gamboa's next mandatory.

The problem? His team publicly confessed that Mikey was not ready for Gamboa yet.

The other problem? He's being promoted by Top Rank. Uncle Bob doesn't feed his prospects to the wolves just like that...

The Top Rank solution: Why not have 3 champs instead of just 2 and a prospect?

Since this is in Bob's best interest, they didn't allow Gamboa to participate in the second weigh-in required by the IBF. Gamboa felt Top Rank was being unfair to him. That situation made him unhappy and frustrated since he had the required weight to keep his two belts.

He then decided to throw knives at Top Rank right after his fight during the Kellerman interview. As a response, Top Rank cancelled his post-fight press conference and didn't tell him. Gamboa went to the "press conference" and found himself alone, no one was attending.

Now the good part. As planned by Bob, another final eliminator has been mandated by the IBF. Mexicans Jorge Lacierva and Fernando Beltrán will fight to get that winning ticket. The winner will face Mikey Garcia and Garcia will finally become a champion, the easy way...

To make it short, Arum took a belt from Gamboa and gave it to Garcia. Uncle Bob is still the boss. It's sickening to know how he can manipulate the game the way he wants and get along with it. At the end of the day, the good fights never happen and the sport keeps going down.

He will now have 3 Latin champions, one Cuban, one Puerto Rican, and of course, one Mexican. Top Rank now controls the featherweight scene, it possesses all the champions and nobody else will be able to do a thing about it.

A Mexican champ in boxing has too much value, it's like a precious gem. That's why this all happened. Instead of facing Gamboa as he should, Mikey will now become a champ and a cash cow.

These 3 fighters would do awesome fights if mixed together. Instead, you can count on Uncle Bob to milk them for a few years. He will try to create a big Cuban-Boricua-Mexican rivalry, and all the fans will be suffering while those fights don't happen.

I mean, the rivalry will be fun, now Mexicans can jump in the big party and all... but this shouldn't happen this way. A promoter shouldn't have this much power. All this politic bs is bad for boxing.

 

just heard from a good source that rigondeaux will be on the cotto margo undercard july 16th

 

fighting kennedy maybe, i heard

 

could be my source didnt give me an opponent name

 

This guy has no shame, he is a crook, so that is why Gamboa never show up for the IBF weight in.

 

With an american, Garcia, Bobfather eyes more money in the 126 pound division, and if Gamboa fight Juanma and the winner fights Garcia its ok for me. Lets face it , Gamboa -Juanma really the fight in 126. At least until Rigo and Donaire move up.....
