      I think gamboa is barking up the wrong tree. He couldn't ko a super slow ponce or old vet like salido. I think Rios is more skilled then these two guys and is huge for a light weight. I don't know why people say Gamboa will walk right through Rios or beat him to pulp.

        The only concern for me is the size.

        Gamboa is a far better fighter in every aspect, but Rios is huge at his weight while Gamboa is short and will be very small at the weight. I still think he can box circles around Rios with his freaky speed and ability though so I'll roll with Yuri.

          Yeah I'm thinking the same. You know what though, there's a few people who evidently DON'T think the size is too much of an issue- Gamboa and his team.
          Gamboa and his team are very experienced and intelligent, and not just a bunch of gung ho tough guys. They seem to be pretty confident.

            I really hope this happens. I think Gamboa wins, and looks better than expected.

              I lean towards Rios in this one. But Brandon is successful primarily because his opponents tend to stand right in front of him. If Gamboa is able to move for twelve rounds, and not get tagged with a big shot, he can eke-out a UD win. Of course, twelve rounds are a long time to avoid getting caught.

                I always liked the idea of Gamboa vs Donaire more than this, Id like to see Rios fight at 140 against a top guy there he is obviously killing himself to make 135.

                  Rios late stoppage. I like both fighters and it will be bitter sweet watching them go to war and one of them having to lose. I just think Rios size and style is going to be too much for gamboa. I think it will look like the acosta fight.

                    Hard to call....

                    I think Rios might just splatter him actually, Gamboa for all his physical gifts is far from perfect and will be in with a MUCH bigger man who can really ****


                    I love the fight but id rather see Rios vs

                    Katsidis
                    Maidana/Matthesye
                    or even better Ortiz! Victor Ortiz vs Bam Bam Rios a grudge match made in heaven!
