    Nope. Just reinforces even more that, when involved with Arum, you may not get a fair shot.

    Why? So he could've beaten Rios, only for the judges to **** him?

    He's probably relieved.

    Completely different, Abril wins and Arum has lost out, Abril doesn’t have an exciting style and he has no following. Gamboa arguably has both – the only winner of Gamboa Vs Rios would be Arum whichever way it went.

    Both Rios and Gamboa are both potentiol cash cows. Gamboa would have got a fair shake, the winner of Gamboa/Rios would have just moved on to being finacially raped more by Arum.

    As good as Gamboa is, he's never been (and never will be) a cash cow. Arum has shown that he has no idea how to market Cuban fighters. Regardless of how exciting he is, Arum is rolling with the guy who makes him money.

    Gamboa was never getting a decision over Rios.

    He's missed an opportunity to beat Rios in my opinion.

    as shitty as rios looked, it wouldnt have made it to the 12 round...and even if it did, Gamboa is a big name unlike Abril and regardless of what you dumb ****s think...the judges robbed the guy...not the promoter.... but gamboa looks like a jack ass right now, unless you think abril is the new super stud around..he is not...he simply had nothing to lose and wasnt afraid to lose....
