Comments Thread For: Bomba Gonzalez Shocked as Top Rank Releases Him

[SnakeVen0m]

Lol no one wants these rican bums

I know right, they should do like Mexicans and fight 30 or 40 bee keepers and then step up to an old champion for a belt right?

Who can blame Top Rank on this one? I mean obviously they had expectations coming from Gonzalez for a reason. He did allot poorer from what I expected. Its a tough game to be in, but at the same time you have to arise from the occasion when called.

Blame Top Rank...they should blame themselves

You don't put a guy there with 13 fights against a veteran former champ who's still prime.

I mean...there is a progression in this game. He's still in the prospect stage. Contenders are fighting shopworn former champs to build themselves up

Prospects shouldn't fight still good former champs. It doesn't end well. Case in point

Too many people are wined, dined, and seduced by unbeaten records. These guys should not be getting rated so fast and people need to stop drooling when an unbeaten fighter comes on the scene. He, Del dalle, and Dulorme were not and may never be ready at the top level. Some guys can be thrown in early and come out on top. Not all of them. If Jonathan Gonzales (the Middleweight) were to be a conditioning freak, he could make some serious waves. There are others like Lomenchenko who can make leaps and bounds but again, not all of them. Justin Fortuna fought some serious competition for 5 or 6 fights in a row and he has had success.

Top Ranks fault for thinking Segura was done after his last fight

100% in agreement. Segura performed so bad losing with Viloria and Sosa which lead TR matchmakers and Gonzales' team to believe that the mex fighter fighting in P. Rico would be an automatic victory for the local boxer (expecting the WBO judges to go with a home decision in case that Glez could avoid Segura punches but there was no need of judges since Giovanni showed his power).

I watched that fight, Bomba definitely got hammered out of there but he did land some good shots of his own. He shouldn't have been dropped by TR like that. That's BS.

That's some foul **** man. Threw him to the wolves n then him threw out the window after he came back all ripped up. Smh how about releasing Rigo too Bob???

[chill4500]

That's sad but I wish Arum would do the same for Rigo. GBP could sign Rigo and they could have an all Cuban card with Lara, Gamboa, and Rigo.

Yeah, Rigo and Bomba are equivalent........

That's not what he means. He wish he'd let go of Rigo so he can go to GB. Bob aint doing nothing with him so why not let him go.

[Build That Wall]

Golden boy should take him.
