Why is Boa fighting at lightweight???? Smfh he's too damn small for the weight. He needs to get his ass down to 126 or 130 atleast man.

[tiliheels]

Gamboa is at lightweight likely bc it is a fight he's takin on quick notice..and the competition isnt stiff..i hope he shows discipline for 12 rounds and totally outclasses the guys..he can make it at tht weight if he fights that way

Gamboa looked like a superbly skilled 12 year old trying to beat a grown man there's just so far talent and skill can take you. A man has to know his limitations, and how far can one handicap one self before the playing field is just too tipped the other way to win the day.

He shouldn't be in there looking like his opponent's son staring at their nipple in the stare down he is ok at 135 and can beat any A- B fighter, but why just be ok in a division you got no business on when you could be on par with elite competition a few pounds south . It's not like he can't make the weight because he can. Getting the fights at those weights, now that's a different story all together and it is a lengthy one....well long story short, it's his fault now he is paying for it.
