Yorkies Gamboa vs Mikey Garcia

[Adamjr91]

It sounds like HBO are trying to get Garcia and Gamboa in the same ring while Bob Arum is pushing Mikey Garcia-Juan Carlos Burgos match-up.

Gamboa-Garcia is clearly the more compelling match-up. I think if Gamboa has a decent training camp he could cause Garcia fits. Who you got and why?

Garcia would own gamboa after a few rounds,,

Gamboa would start fast and control the early rounds but slowly and surely garcia would time him, start catching him with counters, and then drop him when gamboa has his chin exposed and in the air,,

Mickey by UD, in a fight that looks alot like khan-garcia but without the stoppage

Garcia stops Gamboa. Too much technique over Gamboa's recklessness.

I'm not sure, Garcia has been dropped by lesser punches. If Gamboa came in shape I think he could win this. His raw athletic ability will be more than enough to pose serious problems for Garcia. I still don't think we have seen the best of Gamboa and I think if he faces a top opponent like Garcia he will dazzle.

you may be right,,,, Gamboa is a tough fighter to handicap because there is so many unknowns about him still.

I favored Garcia because he is the more technically sound fighter of the 2, but i wont argue against someone that thinks gamboa may win.. His handspeed could bother garcia all night and gamboa may cruise to a decision..

I hope this fight gets made in the summer of 14

It`s not going to happen. Check fat dan`s blog. Arum said he didnt want to waste his time with that two time wife beater any more.

First real test for Gamboa. If he wins, then his career would be revived in an instant. The rematch would follow, which would be bigger than the first.

Yea, I think Garcia would be the favourite, I just have a sneaky su****ion that Gamboa wins it. It would at the very least be a serious test for Garcia.

There aren't many other options. Although I think Burgos beat Martinez, it was damn close and HBO aren't keen on Garcia cruising to another victory. HBO needs to start putting together competitive fights, they have **** loads of competition coming from Showtime.

If Arum was still promoting Gamboa, I'm sure his domestic issues wouldn't be a problem.

Gamboa-Garcia 2014, lets get it on

[sugarsmosley]

if bob's really goign to drop gamboa for the domestic violence thing we can definitely wish this fight goodbye and most likely gamboa's career at the top level

garcia knocks him out. gamboa makes too many mistakes which mikey would capitalize on, gamboas chin is shaky too. he has a punchers chance himself, with power and handspeed like that theres no way he couldnt. but before he could land with those t-rex arms of his theres a lot of ground to cover. mikey has such tremendous command of distance i dont see gamboa getting close too easily, at that point he gets frustrated, sloppy and put to sleep.
