FYI: Rojas is a much tougher test than Cab is for Gamboa.

    Yeah Rojas' reach is pretty long. Gamboa's reach reminds me of Ricky Hatton. Gamboa is lucky he's so fast and can get in and out so quickly by using his feet. He's like, a lot of people have said, mini Roy Jones. When his legs are gone

      Its funny you say that. I mentioned on the show that Yordan was so off with his left hook he was missing by inches. I think that was more an accuracy issue than Cabs defense.

      What will suck with those 3 is they all will land alot.

      Rojas has the lowest amount of power out the three but I think he can get the TKO stoppage.

      Gamboa and Rigo hit like trucks though.

        I lean towards Gamboa knocking Cab out as well, but Cab is a beast, I can certainly see his 10 foot height advantage being a problem for 5'5 Gamboa.
        I don't know, I will lean towards financial reasons, though...

        He does have the height advantage, but he is just too hittable IMO..

          Dom I know you're not a nationalistic type of fan but c'mon. He's great at timing but he's fought some really slow guys.

            He could certainly win, but I doubt he looks good.

                  I actually thought he showed some improvement defensively in his last fight.

                  He'll never have a great defense though.

                    Watching the Barros fight Gamboa is in deep **** vs. Rojas.
                    Barros's ability to control distance made Gamboa look very ordinary. Rojas will more then likely do the same, plus get his offense going. Great matchup this is gonna be, we're gonna see how legit either guy is
