Yuriorkis Gamboa would of sparked Rios anyways.

I'd like to see Rios fight JMM. I think Marquez would counter him all night and stop him late This is correct.

hopefully now Arum can focus on Making Gamboa vs Donaire that's the real super fight I think Donaire is fighting wv2 next

Never liked that fight one bit now Gamboa can focus on fighters around his own size. hopefully now Arum can focus on Making Gamboa vs Donaire that's the real super fight

Gamboa is a heavy handed fighter aswell. And Rios does not like for his body to be hit. Steward would have Gamboa staying behind the jab and outboxing Rios to a easy UD. I don't think he's that heavy handed, but his punches are so sharp with so much snap that he shocks his opponent. Don't get me wrong, he's got power, but I don't think he has lead fists like Rios.

I guess we're all just going to overlook the fact that Gamboa is a 5ft5 featherweight with a vulnerable chin. Seriously. Chinny little featherweight vs. Paul Bunyon Jr. WW with dynamite power.

Gamboa gets hit too much to go to war with a bigger fighter with lead in his fists like Rios. He could stick and move around him a little big, but he'd get drawn into a brawl and stopped.

I guess we're all going to overlook the fact that Brandon Rios is a 5'10" plodder with no technical skills or ring smarts. Gamboa is the truth.

Gamboa beats rios just by boxing him! Rios is like margarito come foward take the punishment while he punish u sooner or later he will get xposed! :boxing:

Pretty BOLD comment I think Gamboa far more talented but needed to get adjusted at the weight first.

And what the skill difference is between Acosta and Gamboa?. If Rios cracks one, he cracks the other too I think, and probably easier because of Gamboa´s suspect chin.

can't believe people ever thought he could beat Gamboa the skills difference is huge different leagues Agree. Gamboa is a full notch above Rios

Rios is a good fighter but he wont be anything special. He just goes with one thing in mind and no plan b. From what I've seen from him so far he doesnt make adjustments he just keeps pressuring until he gets you. Exciting fighter though and it would be real interesting to see how Gamboa deals with somebody as tough as Rios.

not even in Gamboa's dreams

Brandon will do okay at 140. Like another poster said he was huge at 135, which is why he had his success. He eventually wore his guys down with relentless pressure. But he possess no outstanding boxing skills, technically. At 140 he won't have that much of a size differential, Mike Alvarado rehydrates to 160+. He'll be exposed.

I was there with him from Wed til Sat and it was pretty bad what he went through I thought the Lowther fight was bad but that was nothing I´m sure he will be stronger after moving up, some dude´s bodies just don´t like to be super slim.
