Comments Thread For: Photos: Brandon Rios Training, Baiting Gamboa To Fight

[Dustaine]

If Gamboa had a tough time with Salido, Rios will be Nightmare. I like Gamboa and admit he is a Class A Fighter with Tremendous Skills, but Rios is a beast that will surely make this an inside War. Gamboa has never Really been Tested before so hard to Know if he will handle the Pressure well however I predict a 12 Round War with the more Active Man getting the Nod...So My money is on Bam Bam

A wide UD, with a could-have-been-KO is struggling? Stop talking trash and watch the fight yourself.

i didn't really like the idea of this fight at first and i still kind of don't. i really think bam bam should move up, fight at a more comfortable weight. moving up to 140 gets him guys like soto, morales, guerrero, alvarado, and khan. it also takes him a step closer to getting someone like ortiz or pacquiao. gamboa has has guys like broner, garcia, and the salido/lopez winner as possibilities. if this fight isn't signed by summer, then they should completely forget about it. so what if gamboa said rios's name, rios ain't going to fight everyone that calls out his name.

I was there from Wed on and it was awful

i can only imagine, brother. he looks like a different person in the weeks leading up to a LW fight.
i hope for his health that he's done there. he has a good boxing base. he can tweak his style for guys at 140 with robert's help. he's slipping punches and keeping his gloves up better these days.


great show on tuesdays by the way

really, man, great show. i think the only guys who enjoy it more than the fans are the fighters//guests

they all want back on!

Staying at 135 is a mistake. Rios has no business at this weight anymore.

Should just move up to 140 and try to establish himself there.

Gamboa vs Rios what is Top Rank waiting for this fight to mold or what man I tell you guys this they let these fights marinate two long.

Man good fight, But Rios is makig a mistake staying at 135, That could cost him the fight!!Rios needs to go up and fight guys at 140 already. Fight Peterson or Maidana and then move up to guys like Bradely and Khan..
