    gamboa has a short frame...he shouldt fight above 130,otherwise will be fighting people 20 lbs heavier.
    and i believe his speed will suffer above 130
    but if Rios goes down to 130 will be mutilated in 6 rds

    Ríos is glue footed but has chin and hits very hard.I pick Gamboa by decision.

    Rios by TKO.

    Too big and strong for Gamboa, who hasnt even fought at 135lbs.

    I think your mistaking lateral movement to being quick afoot... Gamboa is definitely quick on his feet, but he tends to jump in and out.. He doesnt move side to side and use his fast footwork to his full advantage.

    I also think you should know who your dissing, when you tell Ricardinho that he dont know **** about boxing.. Hes a solid insider in this buisness and knows more about boxing than a vast majority of the posters on this site.

    Rios wins this one by stoppage if these two were to meet in their next fight.

    A lot can change down the road though, by the time Gamboa finally moves up. It would then depend on how well Gamboa carries his best assets up with him (and if Rios is still in that weight class). Still a tough fight for Yuriorkis stylistically.

    Gamboa's lack of lateral movement makes him predictable and easier to connect with plus Gamboa does not have a disciplined defense. I can hardly take a person seriously if they think that this will not be an issue if Gamboa faces Rios @ 135.

    Thanks Anarci but this dude just is not worth it...

    Even though i pick RIos to win this matchup... Its actually a compliment to Gamboa having to go up to Lw to find an even matchup or some one that can beat him,as i dont see anyone from 122 to 130 beating Gamboa... And that includes Nonito... Although i rate Nonito higher pfp.. I think hed have to gradually work his way up to Fw.. He could probably beat most or all the Fw right now, but Gamboa is at least as fast.. And im sure that Nonito has never tasted power like Gamboas.... Wish Gamboa would have been around 6,7,8 years ago when the Barrera,Morales,Marquez and Pac were here.. Since then Gamboa is definitely the best Fw.. Chris JOHn?? Meh!!... good boxer but i think Gamboa would be too much for him.. For as good as a boxer as Johns is he wouldnt be able to keep Gamboa from going thru him.

    " A solid insider " .... Hahahaha LMAO , a " solid boxing fan " that's what he is .
    ¿ Because he comes here often he's supposed to be a boxing expert ? I'm not dissing anybody , I'm just stating a FACT , Gamboa DOES USES HIS LATERAL MOVEMENT , he doesn't just " comes in and out " as you said , Gamboa uses his quick feet very well , he also uses the ring extremely well to his advantage too , if you and Ricardhino can't see it , well it's not my problem , you should take a closer look to his fights instead of saying the same b***** t that all Gamboa's detractors use , I ask you the same question I asked Ricardhino : ¿ Did you saw the final 10 seconds of the 3rd round against Solis ? , yes , just before he downed Solis with that 1/2 combo ? , and not only in the 3rd , in fact he used his laterals A LOT in that fight . If you as a boxing fan are unable to apreciate and UNDERSTAND Gamboa's style by now , well let me tell you that you know **** about boxing too . Peace .

    The only people that are not worthy coming here are trolls like yourself and anarci , thinking because you have 5000 plus posts that you are boxing experts , ¿ Do you know me ? , ¿ Do you know who I am ? , ¿ Have you ever trained a World Champ before ? For all you know you could be talking with Enmanuel Steward here ..... You two talk like you are boxing experts ( or trainners ) when in fact your naivety about the sport ( I took some time out to read some of your posts ) betrays you as another couple of boxing fans . Peace .

    WTF you talking about little boy?? I know your a nobody and that you aint no damn trainer...Cause all you talk about is Cuban fighters and disrespect people.. I looked at the first 5 pages of your posts, and you knowledge is limited to Cubanos and trolling on other people.. What are you 12,13 years old? And anothter thing you assume that people here are claiming to be experts because they have over 5,000 posts? How do you know some people here dont write for boxing publications or have inside ingo by knowing some top pros personally?.. you dont cause all you do is mouth off..

    And i never said Gamboa is inept at using lateral movement.. I said he doesnt use his fast footwork to his full advantage.....That means im acknowldeging he has footwork but that he could use it better... Hes had hundreds of amatuer fights and is a world champion.. Obviously i know that he is capable, but he tends to be predictable sometimes... He has natural speed but he is not slick, a part of that is because his footwork can sometimes be predictable.

    I know nothing about boxing huh? Why dont u show me how much you know instead of always popping off your big mouth.. And limiting your talk to just Cubano fighters... Its all good to back your fighters(Culture,Countreyman) up cause i do too.. But i talk about all fighters not just Latino/Mexican fighters.

    ! Hey take it easy cowboy ! You gonna have a stroke and we're only talking about boxing , first of all let me tell you that the reason my posts are about my people is that for the first time we Cubans have a few amateur boxing stars trying to make a name for themselves in the pro game , this doesn't mean that I don't like the rest ( mexicans , puerto ricans , etc ) it's just that I don't rate many of the boxers that are active now , ¿ why do you want me to comment on Berto or Ortiz or many others if I think they are **** ? My boy let me tell you that Im Cuban and although not a boxer my WHOLE family ( 2 brothers , 3 cousings , my father and my late granfather ) are ( or were in some cases ) involved with the sport , either as trainers or boxers ( amateur ) so I grew up practically in the gym , all they talked at home was BOXEO , I like Gamboa was born in Guantanamo ( Pedro A . Perez reparto ) and I KNOW Salas ( Gamboa's actual trainer ) since my childhood , so I know what Im talking about , Im 37 years old now and have been living in London since the last 15 years , that's why I don't know Gamboa personally , but my uncles ( trainers from ESPA , Luis Alfonso Regueferios and his brother Noel ) know him very well from his times there and they say the oposite , Gamboa,s key for victory during his amateur days was FOOTWORK , he relays on this even more than his punch , due to his small frame he has to be in constant movement ( and this due to his low centre of gravity and balance has cost him those flash KD ) so that's Gamboa in a nutshell : footwork plus speed , about me not respecting the other posters in ESB you are wrong about that too , I respect everybody here , you will only see me lose my cool with 3 people here ( probably 5 now ) so you are wrong about that too . Now let's talk about other non Cuban boxers , ¿ Who do you want to discuss ? ¿ Active ones or the classics ? ( Chocolate , Pepp , Canzonery , Dempsey , etc ) , I repeat it again : the only reason you see me only in Cuban threads is that aside suporting Los mios I don't rate most of the actives ones ( not even Paquiao ) as real good boxers , with some exeptions of course ( Mares , Nonito , Segura , JMM , etc ) . I hope this helps you have an idea , more or less , of where Im comming from. Peace .

    gamboa has never fought at 135 and I am not sure that his power would carry him up to that weight. He has been on the canvas too much in his short career, Rios would put him down for good.

    Maybe your taking his and later my comment out of context... Once again i said he doesnt use his speedy footwork to his full advantage, if you notice he tends to jump in and out, more so than side to side(which is lateral movement) i know he can and sometimes he does,but not as much as he should...
