If this fight were to take place at 130. Which is a weight that both could make. Who brings home the "W". I could see this fight happening. Last I herd hbo was done feeding Gamboa softies and this would be a big name on Garcia's resume. In my opion the fight makes 2 much sense.
I personally think Mikey Garcia will KO Gamboa. Gamboa has so much natural talent but his technical flaws will be his demise. I think Garcia will time him and hurt him and get him out of there and I really want to see this fight.
I think ure spot on bro with the way u see it. Either way hbo should make it happen top rank should have enuff confidence in Garcia that he will beat Gamboa. And for yuri it's sink or swim time everybody knows how gifted he is. But time for him to take on somebody whose elite already. Lets see it
Ever since Boa left Salas he hasn't looked good at all. He also needs to go back to 130.
Mikey has looked impressive, but he's beating guys who are shot and old. Salido and JuanMa were both shot fighters when he fought them, they both killed each other in two wars. I'd like to see him fight someone elite first.
It would be a close fight, but Mikey has never faced anyone as good as Boa. Boa can move and has power, and won't eat punches like his last two opponents.
Before Gamboa left 126 for good, I thought he'd bust Mikey up. Then came the Rios affair, the 15 month hiatus and two lackluster comeback fights at higher weights. In the meantime, Garcia has grown into a legitimate champion. My only hopes are that Yuri simply needs to rise to the level of his competition and hires a new trainer. Otherwise, his once promising career will take a final nosedive.
Gamboa with no Gameplan probably gets dropped enough times to loose a split decision to Mikey if he gets his sh*t together and gets a real trainer instead of being a greedy cheap fk which pretty much has been the downfall of his whole career he gets a wide UD.
Mikey is nothing Gamboa hasnt seen before Mikey cant say the same Gamboa gets dropped but that only lights a fire on his azs and has never really been in danger like real chiny fighters like Khan.
I personally think Mikey Garcia will KO Gamboa. Gamboa has so much natural talent but his technical flaws will be his demise. I think Garcia will time him and hurt him and get him out of there and I really want to see this fight.
