Comments Thread For: Yuriokis Gamboa, Brandon Rios Engage in War of Words

Only because people kept sweating him about "ducking" Rios! Rios knew FULL DAMN WELL that Gamboa would be too small for him! My God, Gamboa got his Olympic gold medal when he was a FLYWEIGHT!

well then u shudnt be sayin that rios is brining things up, gamboa shudve showed up that day if he didnt want ppl give him ****.

thats not rios problem.

and why doesnt gamboa fight a LW with a title like miguel vazquez who also called him out?

gamboa dont want no part of miguel vazquez

So gamboa turned down a career high +1mill payday for a fight with Rios because he supposedly felt he deserved more and continued to reject it even after TR put more money on the table, yet he had no problem accepting a measly 50k for a fight with Farenas? Since then Rios has earned approximately 6mill while Gamboa is left fighting for peanuts on undercards. People often question Rios' intelligence, but damn Gamboa has made some dumb business decisions.

Gamboa wrecks this bum, size/weight difference or not.
It would be absolutely laughable.

He wouldn't even get a punch off.

We all know what happened but people are just so quick to scream ''duck'' All the drug issues and the guy is a prizefighter not a T.R Charity fighter.
A much lesser skilled Cuban took his place and absolutely embarrassed him.

You think Gamboa wouldn't fight Vasquez? lol
I've never seen a Cuban duck any fight. Its not in their DNA.

Gamboa needs to STFU he said he wasent getting a fair share ummmm how much is he getting paid now????? what a moron rios was gonna be hes biggest payday he should just retire

[Tay Roc]

Shit must mean Gamboa ducked! Mikey is fighting Juan Carlos Burgos.

Mikey challenging Gamboa says nothing about Gamboa, it just shows that Mikey is not ducking.

Gamboa needs better management. He's a sucker, just like all the other Cuban boxers getting played by promoters and managers.

Would love to see Gamboa step in with Rios. Boner left the division to avoid Gamboa who called him out. Gamboa can't get paid, so no reason for him to step in with Rios for less than his fair share. Have Fiddy Cent set the fight up, and let's do it in San Antonio! Gamboa does not get enough credit; he's a great fighter who is still growing into his own. Rios got exposed with Pacquiao; Gamboa would beat Rios... and if Rios doesn't think so, step in with him.

That part in bold, it would have applied to Gamboa 3-4 years ago. He is just a wasted, fat midget now. It's sad.

[honey_punch]

gamboa vs rios at 140 will imo play out like del a hoya vs pacquiao...rios is neither del a hoya or as faded but he will struggle at the weight and get badly beaten....I think rios is only going to get worse as each fight goes on.

[BaDaBiNgVIP]

gamboa wanted to get paid his fair share so he passed on a $1.1m purse, by far his career high. Then signed with 50 cent, with next fight vs farenas on a top rank undercard.

haha, true that. Signed with fifty and still no able to secure a decent fight or payday. This guys is going to rust like the tin man if he does not pick up the activity.

You're the joke bud., that's what's laughable. In Gamboa's last 2 fights he failed to wreck Farenas and Darley Perez
