Comments Thread For: Oner: Gamboa is Ready For Brandon Rios Right Away!

[FJRod]

Gamboa needs a step up fight first!!! The fam was discussing this fight last night, everyone pretty much has Rios picked but me. Gamboa has the tools, just needs the preparation for the weight. I pick Gamboa wide UD

Still wanna see rios fight demarco to unify titles.

it will be a big ring to help gamboa.

It might be a small one because Rios is the champ at 135 and Yuri is moving up also I think Rios is more popular then Yuri so he (Rios) has the leverage.

I don't understand this fight from Top Rank's perspective. Maybe someone can help me with the logic here.

Why would top rank make this fight? Unless they assume Gamboa will get beat by the bigger man and they just want to sacrifice him to help build Rios....

Damn 2012 is already looking good! Don't be surprised if this fight happens sooner than later. Remember what happened when Mr. Arum waited to long to make the Gamboa Juanma Lopez fight.

With Arum he is always playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers. I'm sure he has some interior motives and he didn't just make this fight for us fans but we will find out sooner or later what that motive is. While we're waiting I'm just gonna enjoy the action. At least he isn't trying to let this one "marinate".

Rios is knocking Gamboa out under 11 rounds if it happens

I suppose. But this isn't like Gamboa/Lopez where there was a demand being that they were in the same division. No one even thought of gamboa vs rios since they are separated by a couple weight classes. It's weird. There was no demand for the fight in the first place thus no marinating or whatever.

Rios is on his way to become a star there are plenty of good fights for him to make at 135/140. Gamboa while he probably wont be a big star he's an attraction and there are good fights for him still.

Maybe the bob has some masterplan. I just don't see it.

Easy money for Rios! Gamboa is a great talent but sometimes it takes more than that to win. I see Gamboa boxing Rios's ears off until A) Rios lands something big, or B) Gamboa slows down a bit (due to body punches) and gets stopped. Just MO.

nah if this fight happens in Vegas or Cali it will be standard 20x20
