Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux's Trainer Gives His Take on Gamboa vs. Rios

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Earlier this month, trainer Ismael Salas had a glorious moment when his fighter Guillermo Rigondeaux captured his first world title, seizing the WBA junior featherweight strap with a harrowing sixth-round knockout over Rico Ramos inside of the Palms Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Short interview, but surprisingly long on substance. I think Gamboa should build up gradually, and it's a little concerning that Salas, who knows what he's talking about, seems to agree.

I like what Ismael had to say about Yuri's intensity. It's some real insight. I never had that impression of Gamboa, but I can believe it. I like it.

I'm happy to read that Salas doesn't hold any ill-feelings about Yuri's change of trainer. With his training of Rigo and his experience with Gamboa (and others), Ismael's coaching career should be set.

who else does salas work with/train?

I really hope this fight gets made. Even with a nutritionist Rios will still struggle to make weight IMO, he just to big and has outgrown lw. But I definitely think he would train harder then he did for Murray who was never a threat. If he really struggles to make weight he will be in for a rough night against Gamboa.
I agree with Salas its a huge jump up in weight for Gamboa who isn't a big fw to begin with. I can't image that he walks around much heavier then 135.

I think he trained Danny Green.

Adrien Broner would destroy both of these bums. I'm so tired of Rios getting any public attention. He sucks. Gamboa is a little better and would beat him easily but like I said, Adrien Briner is too much of a problem for either of these frauds.

Adrien Broner wouldent do S.hit to Rios. If anyone is the fraud its wannabe Adrien Broner with his insult of a imitation of floyd. We are talking about the Adrien Broner who everyone with any sense felt he lost to Ponce correct? Rios takes Broner soul and ****'s it in the ass.

I don't know if Salas is working with anyone else but Rigo at the moment. However, back in October, someone jumped on me because I made a statement about Ismael spending most of his training career in the Cuban amateur system. I wasn't able to confirm all the information the member posted, but here are some of the names he provided:

WBC 105 Katzuto Ioka
WBA 108lb Pitchit Noi
WBA 112lb San S Ploenchit
IBF 112lb Pitchit Sitbanprachang
WBA 112lb Yoktai Sit O
WBA 118lb (2 time) Daorung Cho Siriwat
WBC 147lm Selcuk Aydin
WBA 175lb Danny Green

Another quote: "Salas was the 1996 WBA trainer of the year and has worked with past greats like Terry Norris and more."
