If Caballero can take Gamboa's best shot I think he'll work him over in the late rounds. That's a big "if" though. My money would be on Gamboa. He has the ability to be great, where I think Caba is just a very good fighter.
The style and physical matchup will be fun to watch though.
They should take caballero off the top 10 p4p list and replace him with the Abrahammer.
Especially if Cab loses to gamboa and abraham destroys dirrell.
I think Gamboa< who is doing JuanMa's dirty work, will take this if he fights like he has been as of lately. Caba has a tendency to fight shorter than he is and that will be his downfall
