wow I didn't expect for this fight to be made, I don't know if I can pick a winner yet seeing as I have no clue how gamboa will be at 135. I will say this, if rios wins and depending on how he wins it will be looked at as a tainted victory for some. There are people that are going to say that the only reason he won was because he beat a guy that came up from 2 weight classes. On the other hand if gamboa wins and does so convincingly a lot of people are gonna start comparing his rise in weight to that of pacquiao. I think this fight will elevate both guys but imo gamboa has more to gain in this situation.

I really wanted to see Gamboa vs Donaire instead Rios bring nothing other then size the skill levels difference between these two is too big not even on the same class TBH
hopefully Donaire takes notes from Gamboa and moves up to fight at least guys his own size

This really will come down to how each fighter takes the separate kind of pressure. Gamboa's style could frustrate Rios with his in and out movement and speed and Rios with his relentless pressure could wear down Gamboa late. I'm going to slightly favor Rios catching up to and stopping Gamboa late.

I was always under the impression that matches were made according to weight, thanks to Phenom now I know that height, skills, and weight are all factors.
