Gamboa vs Rios on April 14th!!

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.

Yuri has been dropped four times in his professional career. He's been off-balance every time. Once he appeared to be somewhat stunned (I believe that was against Darling Jimenez, in the fourth round of their fight), but it's open to interpretation. Gamboa usually gets back up and proceeds to immediately tear into his opponent.

damn that bob arum for his in house fights!

I'm pretty sure Gamboa will win a decision. I can't see Rios winning any more fights at 135 after the way he looked against Murray and after watching that 2 Days show on HBO.. but its surprising to see Rios ahead in the polls, albeit by a short margin but nonetheless this is gonna be one hell of a fight!

Gamboa is just a much better fighter

[Cardinal Buck]

Gamboa's in a different class.

Watch fans who don't know **** about boxing claim Rios was weight drained after Gamboa beats him. Just like when Pac beat DLH.

And he got up and whooped th **** out of the other guy in route to either KO wins or wide UD's. Gamboa has pop and you try to walk through him, he will bust you up...might take a few more punches to do it but he will eventually hurt Bam-Bam.

Gamboa although a different style is the closest thing to Pacquiao there is in terms of raw speed and power combined.

he will light Rios up

I'm really curious to see what Gamboa's power is like at 135. It's very possible that he'll be heavier-handed than ever. It's tough to predict how a drop or rise in weight will affect power/punch resistance.

Rios comes of as a lazy dude. I say he is laughing right now at the idea of fighting Gamboa because of the size advantage he'll have. He takes Gamboa lightly, has to kill himself to make weight and Gamboa shows up looking like the terminator.

Rios pressures early but gets busted up as Gamboa Taxes That Azz!
