It's called an HGH gut AJ Whyte plenty of boxers have it but you obviously didn't see that weigh in where Gamboa almost fainted and that was making 135.

didn't see that. Didn't remember him having the guy for the Davis fight, which is why I assumed he was just packing a belly

Gamboa is a big lightweight. He fought Bud Crawford at 135 eight years ago.

Gamboa will be a dead man walking if this is at 130. He has to cut an arm to make 130. Shameful fight.

Gamboa-Campbell. Make that fight.

Colbert clowns and frustrates opponents in the ring with his speed and moves. Gamboa is almost always getting constantly frustrated. Not good, I think he might give up early.

Gamboa collecting checks to take care of his fam and Chris maturing one fight at a time.

Tank, Haney, Colbert get talked up as the next generation of the stars but to me just seems like more of the same 'play it safe' matchmaking that has been turning fans off the sport in recent years

Tank and Haney hold belts so they should definitely get criticized for taking on ancient Gamboa. Colbert's not on that pedestal though. Nobody's talking him up to be on the same level as Tank and Haney yet. If they were they would have handed him a belt already like the other two you mentioned.

C'mon Son! Gamboa? Leave that man alone...please? Prime Time vs. Xavier Martinez! Make It Happen! Winner gets Tank, or Tank vacates the WBA title @ 130! MAN UP!

Chris can fight but is a bit over rated in my opinion, plus he's fighting a bunch of dead horses! Chris 24 so if he can't make a run for a belt he can forget about it.
