Comments Thread For: Arum: No Garcia-Gamboa - Who The F*** is Gamboa?

[VAGAB0ND]

I think I remember one guy in a Garcia/Gamboa thread say his name , guess it was u.. Look man ... If u follow Cuban fighters all u here is 1)they are boring, 2) nobody wants to see them fight. Low and behold we have a Cuban fight that people wanna see and has potential to be exciting.

I'm not mad at the consolation prize ,more like the reasons behind it .
Arum is trying to give us and Hbo the fight he wants so he is safe business wise.


WHY DONT HBO WANT THIS FIGHT ? It's not just me...

Garcia vs. Uchiyama is not a safe fight by any means. We get it, you want to see your beloved Cuban get the opportunity. But don't act like he's the best or most dangerous fight for Garcia. He's not. Uchiyama at 130 and Crawford or Vazquez at 135 are tougher fights, period.

[CLUE]

Garcia and his personal team ducked the fight, this has nothing to do with Arum. This is an attempt to take the heat for Garcia.

Ok Garcia team and arum feel it's a bigger risk to face Uchiyama rather than face Gamboa. Gotcha bro !

No safe fights . But some fights are safer than others

Arum is such a piece of ****! Just doing this to not let Gamboa eat. And We the fans end up getting ****ed over again.

If you were Bob Arum what would you do? He is a piece of shit but I can't fault him for being human. In the real world you cannot expect to **** people over, and then ask them for a handout. Unless the person is a push over, which he isn't, that's not going to happen.

Why the f**k wouldn't HBO want Garcia vs. Uchiyama? That's a good a$$ fight!

Luckily you already said it so I dont have to anymore.
How can this be a duck taking on the real Champion at the weight?!
Uchiyama is the man to beat and Im relieved they're even thinking about fighting him.
It would have been fun seeing Gamboa get his ass ko'd tho

Bop certainly knew who Gamboa was when he was not giving us Gamboa-Lopez as well as when he traded him for Jessie Vargas.

What a ****. Hopefully HBO sticks to their guns, what is Arum going to take Garcia to Showtime? Latin Fury PPV? HBO can force this fight still by not giving Garcia any other options. Arum can get pissed but he has no where else to go.

Uchiyama fight is Great!!! However, a win over the Cuban would have propel Garcia's name and credibility even further then a Uchiyama win.

His name: yes. His credibility, I'm not sure. I think beating Uchiyama at this point is more significant than beating Gamboa.
