Comments Thread For: Jorge Solis Hits Atlantic City, Ready For Gamboa Bout

It's been a pleasure watching Gamboa grow into the fighter he is today. He's been one of my favorites for years now... He will come of age in this fight! Gamboa will put in WORK this weekend!

I don't think Solis will be able to beat Gamboa. Bob Arum is trying to protect one of his HBO fighters the same way he is protecting Juanma and he wouldn't put them in their with anyone who has a significant chance. In boxing, anything can happen but I think this is a safe bet for ol' Bob.

One thing I wish is that HBO would refuse to show anymore Gamboa and Juanma fights unless it's with each other next. The time is now for these guys to fight. Hey, HBO forced Sergio Martinez to fight a guy he didn't want to fight if he wanted to fight on HBO, so they should do the same with these guys. It's nothing against Gamboa and Juanma, it's f'ing Bob who needs to get with it. One loss for either of these guys against each other won't end their career or popularity, but one loss against someone else for these two could be devastating. The time is now...

Thumbs up!! I agree so much with your last paragraph... Yuri is my favorite fighter and I wouldn't mind HBO boycotting him until him and Juanma face each other. But then again, the old greedy man will just move them to Showtime... Actually, that's what he's been doing lately with Juanma. HBO didn't want Juanma with the opposition he's getting and uncle Bob just brought him to Showtime. I don't think HBO is happy with Yuri's opposition neither but they are trying to build him into one of their big superstar so they are tolerating the non-elite-opposition he's facing.
