    Gamboa vs Rios on April 14th!!

    For those of you that didn't know, Gamboa is moving up two divisions to get a crack at Bam Bam. I HAVE A LINK!

    Who will win? I say, If the weight isn't too much for Gamboa, he takes it by split desicion. The judges will score it closer than it really is because of a certain old prick.

      Gamboa is the future of boxing. Reminds me of a combination of Floyd and Roy Jones Jr. but a little smaller right now. I think he'll be the guy who will ultimately beat a beyond his prime Mayweather down the road and give Floyd his first loss.

        Rios wins until proven otherwise.

            Yeah, Rios does have the size advantage. Can anyone tell me of a fight where Gamboa has been rocked or dropped? Let me know, I want to see how Gamboa acts when he's in trouble.

              He's been rocked several times and dropped several times.

                seems like rios size, pressure, and chin will be favored for him to win this fight against the smaller gamboa, but man, i'm hoping gamboa is able to come out on top. it's hard to see since gamboa has been dropped before, and now might be a bit slower than usual and will face a truly bigger man, but we'll see. it's hard to picture, but i want gamboa to win.

                  I can't see Gamboa winning unless he gains incredible stamina @ 135 and takes the punch well @ 135. We're talking about Rios who is quite effective @ cutting off the ring and it drains your stamina quickly. Curious to see Gamboa's power too. Rios has scary power though, I think he will drop Gamboa couple of times before it gets stopped.

                    I Like this fight Rios vs Gamboa. Both these guys are in their prime kinda surprise that this fight got made though. Props goes out to the new prez and scum bag Arum for this fight happening on HBO. Can it be the next Chavez vs Taylor classic.
