Finally an interview where someone asks Gamboa about Caballero

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

Is Gamboa even a big name himself, though? I only know him for embarrassing Juanma on his own card. I think that's where a lot of the hype came from. But still, is his name big enough to say something about another fighter's popularity?

Actually Gamboa's name should be bigger than it already is. I knew about Gamboa before I knew about JuanMa. But both he and JuanMa needs to step up and fight Caba. Neither of the three are huge superstars(meaning the casual fan does'nt know they even walk the earth let alone that they are up and coming stars at 126), the only difference is that out of the three, Caba is the more decorated, and more experienced of them.

Yeah it probably should be. He's got some really quick hands. But as you said, none of the three is a big enough name to be talking about how other fighter's aren't big enough yet. I'd say Juanma is the most popular of the three right now, but even he doesn't have a huge fanbase.

What I don't like is how Gamboa said he'll fight anybody, but at the same time he gave reasons not to fight Caballero.

Basically, the same road Juanma is going on...

I agree wholeheartedly with you potna. To me their(Gamboa and JuanMa's)undefeated stature is'nt whats going to propel them to stardom, facing eachother on regular T.V.(HBO/Showtime perferably HBO) is what will get the casual fan in the mix and spread the fan bases of both, but their greed is going to be their downfall, along with Bob Arum.

[Shattered Jaw]

Gamboa and JuanMa are just Arum hypejobs. Caballero is a true champ.

Technically he said he doesnt want to fight Caballero yet!!!

i technically cosign, yuri maricon said the same thing juan maricon said.
