    Gamboa vs Garcia: Looks like both fighters want it

    Not sure if this was shared already. This was after Showtime's interview. Box Azteca in spanish! Both fighters want the public to know that they want the fight and that neither are scared. Its all about negotiations.

      Good find bro! Thanks for sharing. I believe this would be a very competitive fight. Even though Gamboa is not quite the same energetic explosive monster he was back then, he still has some boxing skills that could prove difficult for Mikey to figure out. Mikey is a very solid all around fighter though BUT with a suspect chin. If Gamboa manages to come into this fight motivated and energetic, he could rock Garcia.

      LOL @ Robert Garcia asking him if was going to duck the press conference like he did for the Rios fight. There seems to be some rivalry here and I'm loving it.

        Gamboa will probably ask for too much money

          I got it on my facebook feed and said, WTF. I didnt see this last night. Gamboa looks motivated in that interview so I'm sure he wants this.

          I laughed too. You can tell it bothered Gamboa just a bit.

            That is probably the only thing that would keep this from happening.

              Gamboa isn't skilled enough to have a chance. His superior athletics allow him to get away with a lot, but he's no prime RJJ, and Garcia has proven to be a master boxer.

                Gamboa is no pushover for Garcia. I favor Mikey, but that's a real fight. Yuri better realize his market value and that this is the only big money match remotely close to him right now. Don't price yourself out and show up for the presser.

                  Garcia has shown some shaky whiskers early in his last 2 fights realistically Gamboa's best chance is to catch him early and do enough damage to cause a stoppage or make Garcia weakened enough to build an early lead.

                    Lets make it happen,,

                    Its one of the most interesting fights to make in the sport,,

                    A win over gamboa this summer, would really catapult garcia's starpower, and would lead him to manny
