Please, remind me who Mike García has beaten...

The Juanma win made that Gamboa win better though, that is what I'm saying.

Salido is the same fighter post Juanma than he was pre Juanma. But, he didn't have a marquee name pre Juanman. So beating Juanma made the Gamboa win better than it was before Salido beat Juanma.

I understand all that. But you didn't address my comments about Yuri's win over "Siri": Gamboa didn't look spectacular, but he handled Orlando quite convincingly. Do you agree or disagree?

If you're asking me if Gamboa clearly won, then yes Gamboa clearly won. Salido had his moments though. But, never once was Gamboa did I feel that Gamboa was in any serious trouble or in the verge of losing the fight.

Mikey is a prospect and a very good one! However I don't agree with his fans who filled the forum this morning screaming how he would beat Gamboa now. RIGHT NOW?!?! REALLY? maybe in a year or 2 he's got a chance but not now.

Okay, then, my point is that clearly beating a guy like Salido is, in and of itself, fairly impressive. Whether it was a spectacular win or not by Yuri is a little unfair, IMO. Right now, for Mikey Garcia, even getting past "Siri" by a SD would be impressive.

Gamboa has a ways to go. Regardless of his amateur experience, Yuri is still evolving as a pro. (I would argue that he, and other Cuban defectors, spent too much time in the ams. It probably hurt their ultimate professional potential.) For now, it's safe to say that "El Ciclon" is (was) the man to beat at 126, and that he's an exciting fighter with major promise going forward.

I don't think he's ready for Gamboa personally.

But, personally also I do think that Garcia is just as good or better than anyone who Gamboa has fought thus far in his career. Which includes Salido who I think is Gamboa best win. And, is not like Gamboa look spectacular in that fight either. And, that win became better cuz' of what Salido did to Juanma.

now you're ether trolling or know **** all about what you're chatting....theres no ****ing WAY garcia WHO WON'T EVEN FIGHT gamboa anytime soon is better then salido. garcia struggled against remalord for 7 riounds before catching up to him in the later rounds (many people such as yourself forget about this all because he ko'd remalord at the end).......is this a ****ing joke LOL
