What was the issue with Gamboa yesterday?

[Cubanborn87]

I was watching espn deportes and the reported asked him about a "problematic issue" (translated) and gamboa simply responded that he couldnt talk about it and that he was ready for the fight. Does anyone know what happened?

'Yuriorkis Gamboa will lose his IBF title tonight after his bout against Jorge Solis, whatever the result, because he refused to weighin at a second day weigh-in.'

That's bull****. These sanctioning bodies are getting worst and worst every damn day. Makes fighters not even care about being a Champion when u think about all the extra crap that goes with being a Champ of a certain sanctioning body. On top of that, you gotta cough up 100k or 200k everytime u fight.

I agree 100% with you, but why Yuriorkis would refuse a second day weigh in???? I think thats a good idea to prevent fighters to weight in 20+ pounds overnight

i think the ibf its the only one that has that rule, salido lost his belt before losing to gamboa that exact way. i guess garcia is going to fight a noone now for the ibf belt , everything worked out for his trainer i suppose

Did you guys find parking down there?

Dam. That's crazy. So they don't get to take any sanctioning fees out tho. Right?

It's good to see IBF actually follow through on their rule. Prevents fighters from putting on ridiculous amounts of weight after the weigh-ins. I guess this was a case of Gamboa missing the weigh-in rather than him being overweight though, a shame. Not that the belts are overly important at this point.
