I don't understand why Gamboa left TR for 50, when 50 is working with TR. Seems like 50 is just there to be another middleman taking Gamboa's money. Hopefully he gets some quality fights soon though.

Yet he bought out his contract and gave him a signing bonus. Im gonna take a guess here and say Gamboa's action was more to get away from Oner than Arum.

Time to look for this video. I wanna see how 50 does on the mitts, these two look like they are having fun.

EDIT: No video of this uploaded yet.

Man, I love it. Yuri's already getting more exposure than ever. "50" may or may not succeed at this business, but Gamboa will benefit greatly from his desire not to fail. From the little I've seen so far, these guys are on the right track.

I believe 50 used to box back in the day so Im pretty sure he has some experience with the mitts but most likely rusty as hell with them. They were probably just messing around for the media. I don't think 50 can keep up with Gamboa's handspeed on the mitts.

This is true or so it seems. I wasn't around BScene for all his previous fights so Idk if he ever held any media workouts or anything of that sort. Not only do they look to be on the right track but they seem to have some sort of close connection, that's the vibe I get from watching his other workout videos too. The way he calls 50 into the ring to take pics with him and now doing the mitts together.
