Yuriorkis Gamboa's Next Opponent..

[Reggie Miller]

Rojas is the number 1 contender in the WBC, I heard Gamboa and him will be fighting for the interim title while Larios recovers from cuts suffered in his last fight.

oh oh, i just saw some videos of rojas..

good bye gamboa.

bumped for the gamboa fans.

Gamboa will get exposed as soon as he takes on a top division guy, but good luck to him..

[Miburo]

Gamboa is already capable of taking an alphabet title in this weakened division, but becoming champion - he needs work for big fights to become locks. Again I will go against the grain here and say that his guard should largely be ignored and taken as a given and set facet of his offensive game. He lets his hands go so much and it's such an ingrained habit that it's pointless to attempt to alter. What he needs is to work on lateral movement and sharpening his ability to slip punches (the latter of which is already pretty good). He's probably one of the few guys with speed and reflexes good enough to implement the shoulder roll as a regular defensive measure on the inside.

Gamboa is fighting Rojas, it's already signed. This fight is just to keep him active because the fight with Rojas can't happen yet on january, and yes, it will happen unless Gonzalez pulls out (Gonzalez is the second one scheduled for that ESPN date, the first one was scared and pulled out from the fight). You people are terrible predictors, Gamboa will easily get rid of Rojas.

Btw, this is not really a step up, not really a step down, this is lost of time, they should just give the champs to him already.

not really,he's not ready yet, look what happened to davey moore back in the 80's, he was 12 and 0, inexperienced, and got ko'ed by roberto duran.

gamboa is not ready for the top 10 guys yet.

Gamboa is fighting Caballero next after gonzalez. Not Rojas.

[lefthook2daliva]

he looks like he loves getting macho when he gets hit, which will cost him at the top levels..

give him to mayweather sr!

He reminds me of Mayorga in that respect.

LOL! I'm sorry, but anyone that says that Gamboa needs to work on his lateral movement has absolutely no clue what they are talking about.
