    Boring fight. Broner comes in at 150, and hurts Gamboa.

    Equivalent to Sergio/Chavez Jr., except Broner's not a bum.

      Broner is going to have a hard time getting back down to 135 I think. Gamboa catches him and puts him down, too little movement.

        No way a fighter successfully goes from lightweight to welterweight and back to lightweight again. If welter is too big he should try light welter but if he tries lightweight he is done.

          Tom Cruise is correcto! Its all about his name for now! Gamboa is just another name and his people need to eat to so if Broner says jump the Gamboa people reply "how high"! Positioning a young fighter takes time and if he can fluxuate between two classes they have more names to choose from.
          I see potential, what I don't know is Broner personally, if I did know him I could say how far he'd go against who's here right now! If he was dedicated to win I doubt anyone could catch him. For now low output guys are fine, Khan and Bradley although light hitter will bring high activity and that could be a problem. But then again if he losses a few by the time he's 25 or 26 I couldn't care because the greatest fighters have losses! He's an interesting study for me!
          If Rigo had viable opponents he'd be fun to watch also but I doubt theres alot of interest in his career the little guys suffer that way, shame too. Ray

                Gamboa can't even take his power up to 135. What makes you think a super blown up Broner wouldn't beat him?

                Just remember. Broner at 135 is not the same as Broner at 147.

                Gamboa's not exactly Paulie in the chin department either.

                  No disrespect but are you trying to SPAM FOR A WEBSITE or something? Your starting threads then using some of the strangest sources, guys on Facebook ant Twitter are not reliable sources!

                  as for this possible match up, it is really not all that bad of a match up but unfortunately it does nothing for Broner now, he will just be accuses of fighting a "LITTLE GUY" now. If your going back to 135 it should be for maybe Ricky Burns or Miguel Vazquez

                  Or drop down to 140 and give the fight the fans what they want and are voting for which is Lucas Matthysse vs Adrien Broner if they can't make Danny Garcia vs Lucas Matthysse which is looking more and more unlikely as negotiations are kinda dragging on

                    That would be real ****** to go back to 135 if true, but rumors are a dime a dozen around here.

                      I don't like Broner, but if he can make 135 still then its fair for him to fight there (even though he promised to fight the guy with the highest % of vote next). I seriously think Broner stays at 140 and above now though, his frame just looks too big for 135 to me, I doubt he'll be able to make that weight much longer.
