Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Jose Rojas (April 17th)

[orishas]

Gamboa by KO within 5 rounds...

[Silencers]

Gamboa should win this. Rojas' best days were at 122 and his schedule has been a little erratic, he's only fought twice in 2 years.

[KJB]

Gamboa should win this one: he is a massive talent, Rojas is an older fighter and should be pretty rusty coming in.
What I am really interested in seeing is whether or not Yuri gets dropped in this one, or fights with a more disciplined attitude when its for the a bigger prize.

y the **** is he still fighting bums???can't he ****en step up the competition , what a waste of a fight.!the guy is 141 in the world??

maybe they are trying to do it like chavez jr....fighting bums until they have like 50 fights.

gamboa have a lot of speed/skills/pop BUT if he continue fighting w/o defense he's gonna get ko pretty soon.

Yes, that's how you build experience.

Gamboa is (according to BoxRec) #5 ranked in the World as a featherweight.

I would love to see him fight Jorge Solis before he fights Chris John.

If you look at his resume he has fought some quality opposition, in fact his resume is better than most people with only 14-15 fights. Typically he'll fight a bum or two to stay active then step up opposition. The guy fights practically every month so I have no problem with him fighting lesser quality guys to stay busy.

Are u dumb? No offense but:

1. He has 14 fights.

2. He is fighting for a world title, why would he fight anyone else?

As I said, no offense, just the first impression I had...
