Rios is tailor made for Gamboa

[boxing2106]

Gamboa will move up and he will be stronger hes a natural lightweight.He will run circles and bruise up rios with fast blazing combos.im not biased at first i was 50-50 about it but gamboa will be like pacquiao and rios will be like margarito a standing target punching bag.i will bump this after the fight.War Gamboa !

Margarito is extremely slow Rios has some speed but the talk will be done inside the ring.

Rios will make it entertaining, he can take a punch.

He can take a punch but he can give an even better one.

Yeah I really resent people making comparisons between Rios and Margarito. Okay so they are similar on how they can both take a punch and always keep moving forward, but that's pretty much where the similarities end. Rios has a highly underrated defense imo, he blocks punches very well has a really strong guard, and unlike Margarito Rios actually has LEGIT power that can truly damage somebody ESPECIALLY someone smaller like Gamboa.

But with that said, I will say that Rios did not look good at all in his last bout with John Murray, I really hope he doesn't look like a zombie the way he did at the weigh in.
