I won't give Rio any credit if he beats Gamboa . the facts is that Gamboa is two weight class lower then Rios. On top of that Rios is a huge 135lb that come in 155 on fight night. Gamboa weight in on fight night at 140.
As taste this fight sounds it doesn't make much sense to me. I see that top rank try to cash out Gambo he doesn't sell well and a major threat to Mickey Gracia.
don't blame Rios, gamboa is the one that's been calling him out. And it's good money.
To answer the question, I'll have to see how the fight goes. Obviously if Rios destroys Gamboa in 1 or 2 rounds the size would have been just too much, however if it's a competitive fight and gamboa doesn't seem completely out of his elemant, I'll give Rios his props.
Remember guys Gamboa has something that Rios doesn't - lightning fast speed. Speed can nullify strength & power. Will it be enough to win, time will tell. But don't count gamboa out completely.
this exactly and im betting on gomboa to win.
Rios-Gamboa is a potential FOTY candidate if Rios were to win, because he would have to come from taking an ass whoopin' before stopping Gamboa, so I assume he'd get credit from the majority if he were to win.
I have a high opinion of Rios, as a fighter, but Gamoba will put a beating on him if they fight. Rios-Gamboa is Yuriorkis' coming out party.

Yes and I believe Rios is the real deal.
Gamboa beats Rios and I think he has a easier time then people think with him...WHY? SPEED! Rios while tough is VERY SLOW...ACOSTA was not only out-boxing him but he hurt and wobbled Rios a few times, with Gamboa, I think he will OVERWHELM Rios with his Hand Speed and I think Rios will struggle to land clean on Gamboa because he is so fast
It is going to look like the recent Asylum Moreno vs Vic Darchinyan fight IMO, A BOXING CLINIC!
But if Rios get the win...then YES you have to give him Credit!
i won´t give Rios any credit because it would be a MASSIVE FLUKE if he managed to beat Gamboa
Gamboa is a skill set above Rios faster than Rios, Rios has the power yes, but he dont have the reflexs he aint a better boxer

Gamboa needs to have this happen. If he pulls it off, it's such a massive victory.
I don't want to say Rios shouldn't get credit, but it's hard to give him a lot.
I respect your opion I can see all the RIOs fans going apes ..

what weight would they fight at??Rios cant even make 135 anymore
135. rios is trying to stay at 135 a little longer so they can probably make that fight. i guess he's going to have to work a little harder to get in better shape to lose those lbs. seems like he shoots up after fights.
i doubt it's that great of a fight tbh, i don't see a lightweight gamboa being or looking as good as he is right now at featherweight. being 30 and 5'5 moving up 2 weight classes to fight a younger man in rios who probably walks around at 150+ is a bit crazy. both are grown men though, if they're up for the challenge then let it be, but if rios blows gamboa out, i don't really see it as that great of a win seeing as he's beating up a smaller guy. it is what it is though, "war gamboa!" if it gets made...

Doesn't it matter lol Gamboa is a freaking feather weight the only way this fight makes some sense if they fought at 130. In which it won't make any real sense consdering Rios is weight drained at 135
