Gabriel fight tomorrow (Thursday). While I never thought he would be a world beater I was a little shocked when he lost to DeMarcus Corley. That loss looks a little better given Corley's win over McCloskey (and his admission of West African Voodoo - I mean herbs).
But he has a great story & I was hoping he'd at least earn a title shot. A Puerto Rican New Yorker would be a huge draw against Malignaggi, Judah, Holt or many other fighters plus the inter State rivalry with Chicago or Detroit (he & Vernon Paris would be a good battle) or even against an up & comer like Sadam Ali.
Hopefully he'll win. He won't go far but he's tried too hard to stop just now.
