Comments Thread For: Chris John-Yuriorkis Gamboa Eyed For March, Says Arum

[blank916]

John's extremly overrated ass will get curb stomped by a less overrated gamboa

[AntonTheMeh]

First Gamboa was going to fight Rojas, then Caballero, now John. I hope the fight actually happens this time.

Well saying you're going to fight these guys, is way better than what Lopez is doing. Lopez is being highly protected. And I don't blame Arum after the Mtagwa-Lopez fight and the Mtagwa-Gamboa fight, obviously Lopez is not all that. It's not even about Gamboa knocking out Mtagwa and Lopez couldn't, it's about Mtagwa having Lopez out on his feet in the later rounds. Pathetic.

yes, cause that **** never happens in boxing.

Don't sleep on the Dragon, he will give anybody problems and knows how to fight

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is planning to pursue a featherweight showdown between unbeaten boxrs Chris John (44-0-2, 22KOs), of Indonesia, and, Cuban-born, former Olympic gold medalist, Yuriorkis Gamboa (19-0, 15KOs). John is the WBA's "super champion in recess" in the featherweight division. Gamboa, promoted by Top Rank, is the IBF champion and the current "super champion" of the WBA. The sanctioning body has ordered both boxers to fight.

Gamboa has the power to hurt John but John has superior boxing skills with consisitensy to put Gamboa away. if I had to favor anyone in this fight Id favor John.

What about Lopez's wins of Luevano, Concepcion and Marquez AFTER he moved up to featherweight since he was already starving at super bantamweight?

Explain those please, i find it funny everyone tries to centralize that particular fight when Juanma was weight drained and weak instead of his wins over BIGGER men after the move up in weight.

get real douche

[-Boxzilla-]

well its hard to believe anything arum says about potential match-ups. but i hope this is one that will actually be made

[FloydTBE]

finally, chris john faces a top 5 FW

[cubano11]

Dejalo quieto, keep thinking Rojas is soft.

John would take Gamboa to school early, but Gamboa wouldn't respect his power for too long before taking him out late.

I second this

[fabie]

This is a very interesting match up....although John is a very good boxer with an awkward style, I think he's a little past his prime....don't get me wrong he's still dangerous and could end up outboxing Gamboa, I think the two fights with Rocky Juarez said a lot about him at this point in time

this would be a huge win for Gamboa

I think that he deserves a rematch with Marquez.

[cubano11]

Gamboa will get outboxed like a b1tch if he disrespects him.

I have 2 millions if you wanna bet ???
