Yes, he was electrifying; and even though Gamboa hasn't been lately, most people feel that he can be again. The Biogenesis thing certainly looks bad, but Yuri's never tested positive for PEDs -- not in his pro career, and not in his extensive amateur career. Maybe Gamboa is guilty of using PEDs, maybe not. At least one professional athlete whose name appeared in the lab's records was found innocent by Major League Baseball: Gio Gonzalez. If one athlete was cleared, that means others might also be innocent.
To tell you the truth, although the Top Rank fiasco turned out to be a bad business decision, I can't help but chuckle at the fact that Gamboa flew in the face of the powers-that-be. How often do you see a fighter pull that kind of move? Anyway, you're right: Yuri needs to tone it down and get this fight made. If he manages to beat Mikey, he can go right back to being brash. His career will be back on track, and it'll be difficult to put a lid on it.
