Rios Gamboa.....Fight of the Year....

[THE REED]

I put 250 billion on Gamboa Natas

[_original_]

Love both guys, love this fight!

Gotta go with Rios all the way, he's definately gonna break Gamboa down and put a hellaclious beating on the kid.

[Spray_resistant]

No it wont be a fighter of the year type fight.

If it is it means a toe-to-toe battle and that means Gamboa getting broken down.

Gamboa will potshot from the outside and out box Rios!

This seems most likely his strategy, so it would end up pretty boring unless his power carries up enough to ko Rios with a quick power shot Rios does not see and he won't see many of them coming.

[E-Thug]

It's gonna be a crap fight. I highly doubt Gamboa's even gonna carry his power upto lightweight and he's gonna look slow and sluggish. Rios' pressure's gonna melt him down and he'll be TKO to which all of Rios' fans will act like complete twats and praise him highly for a victroy over a blown up featherweight. Watch, Gamboa's gonna struggle and look slow, mark my words.

From what I understand, Cuban national team members spar one another, regardless of weight-class. This means that Gamboa might've sparred, say, Odlanier Solis, a heavyweight. (I don't know how accurate this is; it's something I remember reading in a book on Cuban sports.) This could be a big reason why Yuri has challenged a much bigger man, two weight classes above him. He's not intimidated by size.

Good point fellas..... But.... How many guys on the Cuban national team fight like Rios??? They all are pretty well versed in the fundamentals of boxing.... Rios goes against everything that the Cuban system teaches.... For lack of a better term Rios is going to try to get in Gamboas ****..... Even if he sparred Solis for example I think those type of sessions were more of a chess match then dealing with what Rios brings to the table..... Inside ability and pressure.... Not to mention headgear won't be involved....

I wasn't trying to imply that anyone on the Cuban team fights like Rios. I was trying to make one simple point: Gamboa is accustomed to being in the ring with far bigger, stronger fighters. This familiarity is likely to help. Even if it doesn't, it probably helps to explain why Yuri doesn't seem worried about fighting a much bigger guy.
