Comments Thread For: Team Gamboa Accuse Top Rank of "Protecting Fighters"

[Cubanborn87]

Did Arum pressure him into bringing up Rios' name in public, too? S'far as I remember, he was the one who requested that fight in the first place.

oner was the one that requested it , not gamboa

Gamboa's excuse for calling out guys then ducking. Fight Miguel Vasquez!

vazqueza team already turned him down, that was supposed to be his opponent not darley perez

I'd only seen callouts coming from Team Gamboa at first. Rios was more like, is this guy serious? So you're saying this was Oner that got it rolling, and then things span out of control?

BTW, I was really disappointed seeing Gamboa rep Team Oner at Aydin Karass. I thought he wanted to ditch that guy with the buyout. If not, I don't get the objective.

so Gamboa didn't think that top rank wasn't protecting him and his iffy chin?

Gamboa trying to outdo Top Rank by fighting Perez

Let me c, uhm 20 fights and none of the opponents has a losing record, Salido, farenas, solis, leon, jimenez, no cherry picking punchers and a couple of undefeated boxers in only 20 fights, no he is not been protected, definitely...

[garfios]

He didn't anger them that much if his first fight back was on a TR PPV undercard, 6 months ago.

But the real problem is, who is there to fight below 140 that's a name opponent? Maybe Mares, but he just moved up to 126 which Gamboa can't make, plus GBP. Who else is a name, Ricky Burns? Maybe Mikey? Has Gamboa called out Mikey?

Mickey avoid him like the plague when Gamboa was the IBF Champ, Arum pay him for not to show up at the weight in so he could be strip of the belt...

Hey Gamboa where were you when Top Rank was waiting for you at the press conference with Brandon Rios?

[Frank Ducketts]

Gamboa is right.

For years after Juan Marquez lost to Norwood, JMM was kept away from Barrera and Morales because he was too much of a risk. Barrera finally fought him when he thought Marquez had lost something.

Funny thing is when Floyd was with Top Rank, he fought monster comp.

I'm with you Gamboa.

He should have taken the one Bone Arum threw at him even if what Arum was trying to do was sacrifice him like he thought Donaire-Rigo was gonna play out and derailed Arums plan like Rigo did by Boxing a Zombi Rios ears off like Abril did....but then again Abril got robbed so maybe it was best for him after all.
