    yup.

    there is no way gamboa will get to khan's weight and fight.
    126 looks like his good weight to be at.

      He has a lot of potential, it's hard to say if his defense has improved because his last fight ended inside a round but if he can correct his bad habits, he can be a force to be reckoned with.

      And Khan fights at 135 although I have read a rumor that he's moving down to 130 but Gamboa has just moved down to 126.
      Honestly, i doubt Khan will be able to make 130. He is very big for 135, and i think an extra 5 pounds would leave him drained.

            Yeah, I read the rumor and I thought it was ridiculous, his team hasn't announced anything yet so it's probably just a rumor.

              I do hope it is. What has Khan got fed up of being put down by 130 pounders, so he going to join them?

                Gamboa vs Chris John... That way after that fight we never have to hear Chris Johns name ever after Gamboa destroys him.

                  Gamboa is greatly being hyped. That's the problem. He's good and he has a great amateur career, but amateur and pro are two different things. He will go pretty far however, at least that's what it seems.

                  How do you see Juanma vs Gamboa play out now???

                    Yeah, it'll just make his chin worse.
