    Looking forward to seeing the explosive man fight again. Just wondering what he's got lined up and when he will be back.

    Cheers fellas.

    Not sure but he'd better do something quick to repair his image. He's not exactly a youngster and the big names aren't gonna hang around forever.

    He's keeping quite as of now, but is expected to make a statement regarding the whole fiasco with Arum, Oner, and advance he took for fighting Rios but not showing up to the pressers...

    We're all wondering...

    I was thinking the same thing. I hope he announces a fight soon and doesn't make a ***** move and stay undercover for the next few months.

    He's not getting any younger and probably only has few more years left at the elite level so going into hiding right now is possible the dumbest thing he could do.

    Joshua Clottey at least got a big paycheck before he scarpered :lol:

    He had what alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity and realised "**** I'm fighting a ****ing welterweight" and then went and had a game of soldiers instead.

    I dont even get excited for fights anymore until i see two fighters in the opposite corner. 90 percent of fights they get hurt or pull out of a fight. Watered down shitty era.

    I get what you're saying mate, but Gamboa is a genuinely exciting fighter and i can't really comment on what's gone on coz i don't know.

    But yeah boxing does have a habit of kicking us in the teeth these days.
