Did anyone see the post-fight interview with Mikey and how desperate Gamboa looked? Should Mikey Garcia use this reason to not give him the fight?
I wonder if this is a valid reason to not fight someone now.
Oh he is definitely desperate. Look what 50 has done for him so far. He blew off the Brandon Rios fight to get out of his contract with Top Rank. He ends up fighting on a Top Rank Miguel Cotto undercard in his next fight for a reported 50 grand. Nice job Curtis.
Of course he is desperate for a payday......
Gamboa can push Mikey Garcia if Gamboa fights like he used to and not like he has in he's last 2 fights. Garcia get into defensive lull's sometimes and a fighter like Gamboa can press the action on Garcia and capitalize on that.
I think Garcia-Gamboa is one of the best fights that can be made in 2014.
You dudes acting like Gamboa is some killer who's gonna box circles around him are on the good sh*t. I mean sh*t Michael Farenas had his ass in trouble for f**k's sake.
Gamboa is capable of winning but the idea that it's going to be some take Mikey's ass to school blowout is insanity.
Gamboa got this if they ever make the fight which they won't. Arum doesn't have another Rigo-Donaire situation in his hands.
Garcia-Gamboa must be made. Top Rank is really making HBO look like crap if it wasn't for Ruslan and his wars against Bradley and Alvarado, HBO would of had a real ****ty 2013. Arum can't sell crap nomore
HBO is pushing for Garcia to fight Gamboa. Gamboa f**ked up by signing with 50 Cent. So yes they are desperate if Gamboa doesn't get Garcia next they are f**ked.
Mikey Garcia is high risk low reward.
It's like Lara calling out Pirog at 160 and was declined, people said he was desperate. Desperate for what? To fight a fighter who fans feel is a killer, and brings no money? Yeah, Gamboa is desperate for top 10 P4P recognition just like any other fighter. You're gonna hang him for that?
Wowwwww. Garcia is high risk low reward?? Like 3G would say "are you serious" no foreal "are you serious"

Pirog, haven't heard that name In a while
I really think Gamboa doesn't want another setback again. He saw what happened when a potential fight with JuanMa crumbled due to the timing(or whatever) so I don't think he wants history to repeat itself once again.
I wonder if this is a valid reason to not fight someone now.
Absolutely it's a valid excuse. Sadly. These days in boxing, anything (ANYTHING) is viable. Mikey saying that he's not going to fight Gamboa because Fiddy's last album was whack is a valid excuse.
And who would be high reward in or around his weight class?
Higher reward around his weight class, meaning also 140? Swift Garcia, Rios, Alvarado, Khan. He can also do what other fighters have done to become superstars, jump all the way to 147 from 135. Mosley and Pac did it successfully in the last decade while Marquez tried it but was unsucessful, he can be the first to do it for the 2010's decade. Go up challenge Marquez, Pac-Bradley loser/winner, Maidana-Broner winner, even fight Broner at 140 win or lose, since he says he'll come back down to 140.
The 147 option is of course if Gamboa dares to take that risk in order to make real money.
