Comments Thread For: Garcia: Mikey Garcia Might Get Yuriorkis Gamboa First

BIGPOPPAPUMP

Trainer Robert Garcia spoke to BoxingScene.com about a possible fight between Nonito Donaire (27-1, 18KOs) and Yuriorkis Gamboa (21-0, 16KOs), which Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum believes will happen in the not too distant future. Donaire, the WBC/WBO bantamweight champion, is moving up to 122-pounds in early 2012, but he's already been discussing the big names at featherweight - like Gamboa and Juan Manuel Lopez.

damn robert don't send your lil bro to his own death! he would get smashed! I like Garcia and he's a solid boxer/puncher, but I just don't think he's "special" enough to beat gamboa. . .

Rome-By-Ko

I have tbh,I would not be surprised if Garcia KO'd Gamboa..If this fight happens I'm taking Garcia by KO..

They're both fast and strong. I still think it's a huge step up for Mikey and Gamboa potshots him to a late stoppage/UD.

Gamboa will beat his ass right now. Different levels of competition, Gamboa is far ahead.

I'd love to see it though. Two very good fighters, that are very entertaining.

@ this point Gamboa would be too much for Garcia....a few fights more vs valid opposition will give him a great chance....not now...

winky's right

Gamboa via KO. Make it happen!

Ive just watched 7 of Garcias previous fights yesterday and I'm really liking what I see, but Gamboa would be too much too soon for him.
Caballero or Salido wouldn't be a bad option, but even those guys are going to be a good step up in competition for him. Garcia has good fundamentals and does all the basic things so well, i guess he needs to challenge for a belt sooner or later.

The Garcias are champing at the bit to be the next Mayweathers in terms of a world class successful boxing family
