he held the wba regular belt i think which is just like a wbc interim belt. you know, those make believe belts?

I figure Gamboa wouldve jumped at the opportunity to fight the super champion John. But John seems to be content with defending his belt every 6 months to a year vs lower caliber opponents in Indonesia.

Title or not, we all know Gamboa is THE guy in the division right now.

Did HBO just say that Gamboa was not a beltholder at featherweight?

They showed the top feathers and did not acknowledge him as a title holder.

Why?

Gamboa was (very vaguely) stripped of a WBA title he didn't earn. Chris John is the rightful WBA champion...to be the man you have to beat the man....

Yuri was also stripped of his IBF strap because he failed to show for their second, "morning of" weigh-in.

Gamboa does not need a title listed beside his name to be great. I would love to see Gamboa collect every belt available in this world but dominating the current champions. And then I would love to see him smile, rap his heart two times with his fist and then drop all of the belts at once into the garbage can, replacing the lid on top while smiling and grabbing his $20 leather belt........Rockin'

"I am Yuriorkis Gamboa... You will know my name."

Did you all catch that?
