Say what you want put Salido did not train properly for that fight and it was obvious coming in over weight for the fight, the salido that fought juanma would of KO'd Gamboa.. Real Talk.. I hope they rematch after Salido ends Juanmas career

Okay, maybe Orlando didn't "train properly" for his fight with Gamboa. Maybe he wouldn't have so many losses if he didn't turn pro at such a young age. Maybe Salido didn't actually use steroids when he tested positive for them in the Robert Guerrero fight. Maybe, Maybe, maybe....

Yuriorkis Gamboa has a growing fan-base that extends well beyond the Cuban community. That's because he does nothing but win and look electrifying in the process. Yuri is a monster at 126, and the man to beat in that division. If you think that Salido is anywhere near that, you're in a tiny minority. As solid a fighter as Orlando is, he's an overachiever.

Salido knock out Gamboa? Unlikely. Orlando retire JuanMa? Even less so....

I don't think Gamboa gets passed Deleon.Not talking ****, just saying...But, they will meet at 130 with one loss each, and in my opinion Juanma ko's him...Not a Cuban hater,so before u start buggn, let me say that...I think Lara is the man, I thought P. will was going to overwhelm him...so I respect him, think he is solid..rigo is a beast, but Gamboa, over rated, not that good.

Gamboa overrated? No chance. He's a beast. If Yuri loses to Ponce De Leon, I'll not only be disappointed in him, but in my own judgement. As far as a Gamboa-Lopez fight goes, I used to think it was a toss-up. After the Salido loss, I understandably started to lean towards Yuri.

I have always considered Lara third among the Cuban defectors. Rigondeaux being #1 and Gamboa #2. But on July 9, Erislandy showed me and many others that he's for real. He's a threat to anyone at 154.
