Not sure if this was shared already. This was after Showtime's interview. Box Azteca in spanish! Both fighters want the public to know that they want the fight and that neither are scared. Its all about negotiations.
True and agree to some part but its all for the same reason...Money. If Gamboa is as desperate as you say, he will take whatever offer he is given. Do you see that happening? or do you see a back and forth $$$ war between both sides?
I see Gamboa agreeing to a reasonable amount lets say 200k but of course he won't agree to get taken advantage off for 80k
Why?
"A win over gamboa this summer, would really catapult garcia's starpower, and would lead him to manny"
LoL. Why? So Manny could end his career? Because that's what would happen. It's always easy for an up and coming fighter to say that they want a certain opponent, until they get in the ring with them. Based on what I've seen in the last two fights, Garcia is a future star in the sport BUT he would get Ko'ed by the great Manny Pacquiao. For him to think he can just jump up almost 17lbs is Ludacris and unnecessary. His body says he will most likely never be a welterweight. 140lbs is where his going up will stop. Look at how stocky he already is for the weight he's at. Common sense says that he cannot go up much higher. His chin and lack of experience would get him KTFO.
Are u kidding me Gamboa is desperate for this fight the only thing that would get in the way is arum and dunkin

That is probably the only thing that would keep this from happening.

Lets make it happen,,
Its one of the most interesting fights to make in the sport,,

Garcia has shown some shaky whiskers early in his last 2 fights realistically Gamboa's best chance is to catch him early and do enough damage to cause a stoppage or make Garcia weakened enough to build an early lead.
Gamboa is no pushover for Garcia. I favor Mikey, but that's a real fight. Yuri better realize his market value and that this is the only big money match remotely close to him right now. Don't price yourself out and show up for the presser.
Gamboa isn't skilled enough to have a chance. His superior athletics allow him to get away with a lot, but he's no prime RJJ, and Garcia has proven to be a master boxer.
Good find bro! Thanks for sharing. I believe this would be a very competitive fight. Even though Gamboa is not quite the same energetic explosive monster he was back then, he still has some boxing skills that could prove difficult for Mikey to figure out. Mikey is a very solid all around fighter though BUT with a suspect chin. If Gamboa manages to come into this fight motivated and energetic, he could rock Garcia.
I got it on my facebook feed and said, WTF. I didnt see this last night. Gamboa looks motivated in that interview so I'm sure he wants this.
LOL @ Robert Garcia asking him if was going to duck the press conference like he did for the Rios fight. :lol1: There seems to be some rivalry here and I'm loving it
I laughed too. You can tell it bothered Gamboa just a bit.
