    Gamboa was ready years ago. But Mikey's team didn't let it happen.
    If they fight now, it will be a question if Gamboa can win enough of the early rounds, and survive the later rounds to win a decision. Garcia is going to have to pressure Gamboa, test his chin and cardio, and try to win a decision or even a stoppage.

      Gamboa walk around weight has always been 140+ even when he was 126 he rehydrated over 10 pounds but has always made weight without any struggle, I think he only went up thinking he was chasing money (all the calling out Bradley and Broner and so forth) now how things stand today the money is back down pretty funny the ****ty career Mismanagement if you ask me.

        Mikey was a contender years ago, too green for Gamboa. But now, Mikey's a man.

            Yeah, I'm not sure Gamboa would have any trouble making 130. The problem isn't the weight as much as it is the ring rust. He'll always have the speed and power to continue testing Mikey's chin and mettle, but it'll be an uphill climb for Gamboa, especially if he takes the fight next.

              Mikey can easily make 135, there are no excuses. He still looked like a mild zombie during the weigh in. He was easily 143 or so last night.

                      I think Mickey stops him.. Gamboa definitely has declined and with his flashy style it's just a matter of time before a good boxer-puncher with pop catches him, in my opinion.

                      Hope this fight happens, preferably at 135.
