Oh by the way, Gamboa fights next Saturday

[Canelo Phresh]

Remember Gamboa can beat floyd.

It doesn't look that good after Garcia dominated Salido.


He has the footspeed and handspeed to pop in and out and flurry his way to a wide UD. I mean freaking Alvarado outboxed Rios, come on man.

He really went through hell and back to get there though, and he was 159 fight night

[El Angel]

Gamboa doesn't fight anything like Abril. A stubby-armed midget like Gamboa would be forced to utilize a lot more lateral movement than someone like Abril, because he lacks the height and reach to keep him at bay, and he's not big and defensively solid enough to effectively smother Rios at close range.



Gamboa dodged a bullet and a career-ending beating there.

Gamboa had more than enough foot speed to out manuever the plodding the Rios to a UD. Especially that incredibly drained version that showed up. Alvarado did it, I'm confident Gamboa could too.

I don't think anyone cares because Dawson is the main card, he's not even relevant anymore after quitting to Ward. But hey an HBO date is still an HBO date.

[BornToLive]

Shame about Dirrell, wasting his prime years sitting on a promotion shelf, he has himself to blame for that though. If he kept himself busy...he would've beat the likes of Bika, Abraham in a rematch & Stieglitz....he would've been a worthy contender for Andre Ward.

I actually think his best win was Salido and the allegations fizzled out as much for him as for the MLB players involved it was discarded for the low cred of the article and the papers allegedly being fake, the MLB try to buy them to analyze them for ton of money and the guys declined obviously afraid of fraud, but the RIos move was probably the worse move of his career that would have been a big W should have gotten that and THEN go ape **** on BOB.



Hate spammers too

Didn't know this, make me a feel a LITTLE better And you're right, even though Salido wasn't as highly regarded then as he is now, he was a good win for Yuri. I just think Ponce De Leon is a little bit better.

Not long after that Bosch PED story broke, Gio Gonzalez, the Washington Nationals pitcher, was cleared by Major League Baseball. It didn't entirely discredit the PED scandal, of course, but it did cast some doubt on the allegations. I haven't followed the story intensely since then, but it seems that there were at least some holes in the initial reports.

What a terrible move that turned out to be for Gamboa. Sheesh.

Anyway, I can't wait to see what Yuri looks like at lightweight....

We have talked about this so many time and it never gets old, man that move gamboa made proved to be career suicide. Now lets hope all the cuban fighters in the future can use him as a reference of what not to do.

I'm pissed I thought it was today.

That's the way life is sometimes, papa. You take a shot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. Yuri thought he was shooting for the stars. Turned out to be a bad decision. No one at the time could know for sure what would transpire. Now here it is. I just hope there's still time to salvage something worthwhile from Gamboa's career.
