Rojas is actually very solid, certainly better than the current version of Oscar Larios, who is the reigning WBC world champion. It's a big step-up in competition for Gamboa. Elio's only loss is a controversial decision to Gamaliel Diaz, who has an upset victory over Robert Guerrero. He also beat Hector Velzaquez rather easily to win the WBC eliminator. He could cause Gamboa serious troubles if Yuriorkis just goes all out, with the usual 'defense' of his.

at the begening of the fight yesterday i was looking at Gamboa and he look patient so i said to myself finnaly i will see him fight a couple of round then BANG! it was over! must be hard to find opponents for him but you can be sure i will be looking for his next fight!
He has awesome natural power. Left hook to body and then bam that short right hand on the jaw. Great speed aswell. He's very exciting to watch, I just hope he sorts his defence out a bit and his chin holds up.
I hate the people that are just waiting for him to get knocked out. What good does that do boxing? We could see this guy in some potential amazing fights if he doesn't get knocked out and ruined.
He sure is an impressive fighter, no question. Skilled fighter with very fast hands and brutal, Tyson like power.
Some people just want to see him KOed because he's arrogant. Others, like me, just want him to face a well-rounded puncher, who would punish his arrogance. Do you hate me too?
Of course not Decebal. :rofl Nah, it wouldn't be too bad if he faced a guy who could hurt him numerous times and make him think twice about keeping his hands down, but I don't want to see him knocked clean out and ruined. Doesn't do anybody any good.
He's a good guy. When i was watching the fight on ESPN the commentators stated Gomboa sold his Gold Medal so he can throw his daughter a birthday party. Like who does that ?
I hate the people who say he has a glass jaw when they have no idea what they are talking about,balance and everything else.......that's really annoying. That being said he got the guy out fast last night but his last few fights he hasn't shown progress at all.
