I heard thea there's a Gamboa/Cruz unifacation match in the works for next year assuming Gamboabeats Garcia and Cruz beats Ricardo Castillo. But I'm sure its just a rumor...
Gamboa-Lopez 2010 plans are for real! Bob Arum is planning 2 more title defenses for each fighter with the possible big one in June 2010, and the fighters are ready for the challenge. JUANMA: "Our plan is to fight on October 10, then January 23, 2010 against Celestino Caballero, and then we have a date for June. At this stage, I would like the big fights, but I am not the one who picks the fights and I don't protest what my promoter Top Rank tells me. It's not a secret that in 2010 I will be moving up to 126-pounds. Gamboa is in those plans. This is a business and the viable option is a fight with Gamboa." GAMBOA: "Right now it's really a matter of getting everything together for us next year. The promoters are trying to organize that event. It is a fight that would generate a lot of interest and the one where a champion like Lopez wants to challenge me. It would be a honor to give him the opportunity."
