    Is this the second show that ESPN is showing of Gamboa in February. I could be mistaken, but I thought Gamboa was going to be on ESPN two times in Feb. If it is then that would be pretty cool, plus I wouldn't mind seeing Yan Barthelmy fight either.

      Thats funny, Gamboa fights on Feb 8 and 22, and they have only an opponent for the 22th!!
      But i think this is another good match up for Gamboa.

        Humberto Toledo was supposedly in against Gamboa on the 8th but informed the promoters this week that he was suddenly not interested.

        Thats why there is no opponent yet for Gamboa on the 8th in Delaware.

          I guess he will fight a weak opponent because on short notice they wont fight someone decent, or maybe the even cancel the Feb 8 date.

              Honestly, they are so intent on getting him a title fight by the end of the year that they dont seem interested in fighting a lesser opponent. So if the opponent is weak - I dont think it will from Gamboa's side.

                Look who they match him up against already. They have NO interest in putting him in with a tomato can.

                  In case no one was listening to the show last night ... Gamboa is now facing Baudel Cardenas in an eight round bout on next Friday's ESPN2 opening bout.

                  That came straight from the promoter as we going on the air.
