Gamboa you better watch yo back!!

[Ron_Simmons]

That'll be one hell of a fight! I still kinda favor Gamboa, but Garcia is heading his way. I expect a more competitive fight than the Juan Ma fight in which I thought Juan Ma would get slaughtered in against Gamboa.

I think its an interesting match because of the speed and power that Mikey brings but I think Gambo is just too fast and strong for him. I think Yuri can put mikey to sleep with just one punch
but it does make for a good match up because Mikey can catch Yuri too. and it could set up a trilogy but not right away because both dudes are young
I would like to see Mikey go at Juanma first and knock him out then take on Gamboa

The difference between Mikey & the typical Gamboa opponent though is that Mikey is actually very good defensively & fights by boxing 1st.Gamboa goes in search of ko's ends up exposing himself with recklessness & has been caught because of it.Mikey can also counter punch & has good handspeed.Mikeys counterpunching is gonna slice Gamboa's output in half & probably stop him late.Not right now but sometime next year.

Bob will overprotect Mikey the same way he overprotected Juanma and he will never feed him to Gamboa, because he knows he will lose. A young mexican champ has too much value to even consider matching him against anyone dangerous, so forget about the big boy of the division Gamboa. Unfortunately, that's the Top Rank way. If he was with Golden Boy, they wouldn't hesitate one moment putting him against Gamboa and they would accept that first loss as a learning experience. With Top Rank, this is a fight we will probably never see

[KnockUTheFukOut]

not even close to being ready for Gamboa, but he is a very good young fighter

Bob would probably throw him in with JuanMa before Gamboa

[Pullcounter]

mikey will get blitzed. gamboa is too athletic.

[Sheppirino]

With all the buildup of the JuanMa vs Gamboa fight that has gone out the window cuz of Salido I guess this would be the next best thing.

Actually, it might be a better thing to buildup. I just hope neither of these two lose on the way to each other. Arum should try to make this fight sometime within a year. He should have learned his lesson on trying to marinate a fight for too long.

I'm seeing like some Marquez in this guy,but with a better chin.Call me crazy but that's what I see!!

What do you mean overprotect him & feed him to Gamboa??Mikey is better fundamentally than Gamboa..Gamboa is more athletic yes but he doesn't have a six pack in his chin & Mikey cracks like no other & can counterpunch!!

the point he is trying to make is gamboa would be the favorite thats enough for top rank to not make the fight, i agree with bowae though bob is going to give him the juanma lopez treatment

Juanma's been rocked & dropped repeatedly,what treatment are U speaking of??Mikey is more fundamentally sound than those 2.Can U explain further,what's the Juanma treatment??
