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

[CubanGuyNYC]

in the mid 90"s we trained out of the b street gym downtown, he was older but worked with a few amatuers at the time, helping us get ready for tournys. he's a real down to earth dude, he's opening a new gym in la soon if not already

Freaking awesome!

In my experience, most boxers are pretty cool guys. Of course, you can't say that about all of them; but, on the whole, most fighters are nice dudes.

Gamboa, just like Rios...either one of them could be in the top 10PFP some day. The old farts Mayweather, Marquez, and Pac have to leave some day...maybe Rigo, Dullorme, Dell Valle could be there as well. Paris, Alvarado, and that french 140 pounder who was on Showtime late last year too.

It takes a very special kind of moron of the dumbest order to call Gamboa and Rios Bums! And then to say Broner beats both of them is almost as ******.

i like broner but i agree 100% rich

This seems like a big jump for yuri, but it really isn't.

Yuri fought a bunch a 130lbs and only moved down because of the bigger names at FW.

If anything this is just Yuri moving up 1 weight class from where he typically would be fighting.

There just hasn't been any talent at 130 since Pac and Marquez last fought there. When both JMM and MP moved up to higher weight classes, combined with Lopez and others moving to 126.....it just made sense for Yuri to campaign at FW in hopes of landing a big fight.

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.

oh but he does. gamboa's certainly been clocked at around 160lbs and looking fairly solid at it.

[frosty-g]

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.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
ha.

Damn he most blow up easily. I thought he might walk around at 140 tops.

yeah, i dunno if the 160 was unusual or not but he looked alright. there's some pictures around where you'll see he looks pretty big but solid, not able to say what weight but pretty good and strong.
