    Didn't Mosquera hold the world title and beat the WBA champion for his strap?

    Didn't Valero beat the champion for his strap?

    This isn't no vacant title bout ... these guys beat champions and Mosquera only lost 1 fight and hadn't been knocked out to that point.

    Add to that Valero beat him in Panama - Mosquera's home turf ... lets see Gamboa do some **** like that.

    Yeah I agree ... he was Barrera's training partner (in Mexico) and he sparred with Morales and just about everyone on the hollywood boxing scene.

    I don't think the Gamboa team has given up the WBA - route... Gamboa is facing Jose Rojas in June, who is ranked #2 by WBA whereas Gamboa is currently #3.

    Very dangerous fight for Gamboa, but to be frank, I think this will be a very exciting but very short fight. Gamboa by TKO within 3 rounds. Valero has very very weak defence and he hasn't met anyone with Gamboa's handspeed so far.

    On the other hand, if Gamboa continues to forget about defence, he will be stopped. He can not box Valero in the way he faced Jimenez. If he is focused, Valero has no more than 3 rounds.

    He had several sparring sessions with two pretty unknown fighters named Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera... :deal

    How is this even possible? Rojas only fought a few fights at above 126 and they where against scrubs. His last couple of fights were at 126.
