This is a bad fight for Rios. If he wins everyone will say he beat a featherweight, and I don't think it's entirely unrealistic to think Gamboa might pull out a victory with his speed and talent. I understand the fight from Gamboa's standpoint because a win will do wonders for his career, but at the same time people won't kill him for losing after making such a drastic jump in weight. But I don't see why Rios' camp would go for this fight. Regardless, I'd love to see it happen.Comment

Gamboa beats Rios and I think he has a easier time then people think with him...WHY? SPEED! Rios while tough is VERY SLOW...ACOSTA was not only out-boxing him but he hurt and wobbled Rios a few times, with Gamboa, I think he will OVERWHELM Rios with his Hand Speed and I think Rios will struggle to land clean on Gamboa because he is so fast
It is going to look like the recent Asylum Moreno vs Vic Darchinyan fight IMO, A BOXING CLINIC!
But if Rios get the win...then YES you have to give him Credit!Last edited by sicko; 01-10-2012, 09:39 PM.Comment

Yes and I believe Rios is the real deal.I won't give Rio any credit if he beats Gamboa . the facts is that Gamboa is two weight class lower then Rios. On top of that Rios is a huge 135lb that come in 155 on fight night. Gamboa weight in on fight night at 140.
As taste this fight sounds it doesn't make much sense to me. I see that top rank try to cash out Gambo he doesn't sell well and a major threat to Mickey Gracia.Comment

Rios-Gamboa is a potential FOTY candidate if Rios were to win, because he would have to come from taking an ass whoopin' before stopping Gamboa, so I assume he'd get credit from the majority if he were to win.
I have a high opinion of Rios, as a fighter, but Gamoba will put a beating on him if they fight. Rios-Gamboa is Yuriorkis' coming out party.Comment

this exactly and im betting on gomboa to win.don't blame Rios, gamboa is the one that's been calling him out. And it's good money.
To answer the question, I'll have to see how the fight goes. Obviously if Rios destroys Gamboa in 1 or 2 rounds the size would have been just too much, however if it's a competitive fight and gamboa doesn't seem completely out of his elemant, I'll give Rios his props.
Remember guys Gamboa has something that Rios doesn't - lightning fast speed. Speed can nullify strength & power. Will it be enough to win, time will tell. But don't count gamboa out completely.Comment
