Now, what was GGG's ranking at 160? And what was Ishida's rank at 160? So yea, people had every right to sh1t all over that fight.

Oh please dont give me that bullsh1t about weight. 135 is a very weak division and Gamboa wants to fights its 50th ranked guy. If its his first fight at 135, then why was he trying to fight Burgos? That makes your whole argument collapse right there.
Ishida was ranked higher at 160 then Perez is at 135 and also beat much better fighters then Perez and his only loses came to the top 2 guys. If Perez fought the top 2 guys at 135, he's be ranked like 157th instead.
Golovkin will have fought 3 guys, all much better then Perez by the time Gamboa fights Perez. Yet you sh1t on golovkin and defend Gamboa
He wanted to fight Burgos and Burgos never fought at 135. So idk what your point is? And who did Ishida beat cause I'm not familiar with his resume. I only know Kirkland...

Damn, what past?
The theater as well?
I remember reading the theater was specifically ruled out because of that.
Dibella used to promote Clottey, but other than that I have no idea what it's about.
I remember this tweet from a while back. Seems Clottey and Dibella don't get along.

I'm not saying its a good fight but it sure as hell isn't a sh1t while Clottey vs Nelson is a GREAT fight. They are both either sh1t or great.
Why do they both have to be the same thing? I've already explained how Clottey-Nelson is a much better fight, a decent one, while this a complete sh1t fight. He was even KD 2X by guy who lost like 8 fights in a row, 4 by KO
He's not a cherry picker. Look at all the people he's attempted to fight. Beltran, Salgado, Burgos and Vazquez Jr. And he also got his resume to prove that he's not.
Of course he is, he's probably fighting Perez next. Gamboa "tries to makes" fights with Rios, Salgado, Burgos and Vasquez, yet fights Farenas and Perez instead.
That was 4 years ago. We're in 2013 and he's debuting a 135 so he's definitely not a top fighter. He could be but isn't at the moment.

So why'd he "try" to fight Burgos and Vasquez then? 130 and 135 are 2 of the weakest divisions and the best he could do is perez?:thinking:

gamboa's a top fighter, or at least he's been at the top. what's killing his career is the inactivity.
his wins over de leon and salido were top wins, and he won a "world title" all the way back in '09.
It is an awful fight for Gamboa. People complained about Golovkin fighting Ishida in a stay busy fight but his kid couldnt even hold Ishida's jock strap. The reason he hasnt fought top fighters is because he cant beat him. He's taking the Salita route, fight bums, get that record nice and shiny until some cherry picker or sanctioning body gives you a shot. And its worked

Gamboa vs Perez and Nelson vs Clottey are no different. Only a person with an agenda would praise one and sh1t on the other. That's for sure but do you man.
If anyone here is mad its you. You're mad that Gamboa is juicing and still fighting on HBO. Deal with it. Hopefully Perez knocks him so you can stop being so bitter.

Gamboa did look like sh1t, against Farenas, a decent enough guy. He "couldnt" get a fight with the top guys so he just decided to pick the 50th ranked guy? That makes sense
Gamboa vs Perez and Nelson vs Clottey are no different. Only a person with an agenda would praise one and sh1t on the other. That's for sure but do you man.
It is different because it is a much better match up at 154 in every possible way. Nelson has beat decent fighters and is top 20 at 154, please tell me who he can fight whos better then Nelson at 154 anyway

Gamboa used to be one of my favorite fighters. Now he's a cherry picking roider, and you support his sh1t fights because he's cuban:usa2:
Is Willie Nelson still alive?

Go get that filthy hippie, War Clottey!

Guess Clottey blew through his "dive" money already. :nana:
clottey claims that he had to take a dump. i believe him :lol1:
he basically took a 12 round sh#t in the middle of the ring
