Ugh yea!!!!He is a junior margorito,you could pretty much hit whenever you want!Gamboa is going to have easy target practice.

I've been wondering the same. When will it be announced as "official".

There's been way too much 'beating around the bush' in this one. Can some please elaborate? Or is Top Rank pulling our d!cks?

am i the only one who doesnt wanna see this? gamboa still has some good fights at 126-130 and rios still has some good fights at 135-140. instead of him fighting someone 2 weight classes smaller. i have no doubt it would be exciting, but kinda pointless on rios part. but its everything for gamboa.

NO the fight is not going on...Rios is a 140 pounder and Gamboa is a 126-130 pounder.

don't ask me where i know this from.. but yeah they still talking about it. gamboa accepted the fight at 135lb and if it works they will receive 750k each. gamboa was then approached and asked if he would still take the fight at 140lb, and he said yes, but only if he receives more money. so this is where the negotiations are now. it could be 135lb and everything would be fine, or 140lb, but then gamboa wants more money
