Salido came 10 pounds heavier than Gamboa and wasn't prepared. I feel a rematch would be good now that Salido has Juanma's belt.
The fight should be in Mexico, the fan base is stronger there than in Miami.
I just hope Arum makes this fight happen.
no point in this fight gamboa wins again. lopez vs salido 2 makes more sense and more money for salido. gamboa vs john should happen and the winner gets lopez vs salido 2 winner.
Juanma didn't get caught coming in though. He got caught once he was brawling, not on the way in.
Basically Salido hit him with 1 punch. Looping overhand right. I'm just doubtful Gamboa would not be able to see that and just keep his left up.
no sir! Salido was hitting him with that right all night. It was a matter of time that crushing one landed. Gamboa will dog him again though.
Salido looked good against Juanma, although a little reckless but he still got the job done. I understand that Gamboa has the fastest hands in boxing but he also gets caught coming in.

He already beat Salido convincingly. Gamboa needs to fight John or move up in weight. He needs a real challenge. Why have this great talent just knocking out randoms when he could be proving his greatness? It's time. He might have to go as far as Lightweight, or maybe a catchweight. But he needs to fight in a hotter division. Lightweight is hot.

He does, but he was far too good for Salido first time around and has improved even since that fight.
I really do think Gamboa may have had his last fight at 126, unless Chris John decides to man up. Up a division seems like the next step.

I understand why this would be possible, but I don't see much point.
Gamboa won in very convincing fashion (I had it 115-109 and that was with 2 points deducted), outboxed Salido and dropped him a couple of times. A closer first fight would have been a worth-while rematch and a good fight for Gamboa, this one? Meh.
