Comments Thread For: Gamboa Ready To Face Lomachenko at 130-Pounds

[SlySlickSmooth]

Could be a FOTY candidate, these guys shoot punches like machine guns.

Loma don't have the power to halt Gamboa attack speed is basically same, Gamboa UD and would ppl stop with a fighter needs to grow into a division or get a tuneup but was just screaming for rigo first fight at 126 to be against loma

[LomaUsykKlichko]

loma pitty pat punches aint gonna keep gamboa from throwing. I just can't see a cuban getting outclassed so gamboa by TKO.

Uh go watch Loma-Toledo in the World Championship finals in 2011

Good fight . I'm taking gamboa to win it . Hope Loma says yes , Loma makes 134 and gamboa can make 130 still .
If Loma can not make 122 for rigondeaux, then he has Walters , gamboa and donaire , all of whom are at his weight class .

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .

That's a great fight. Throw Rigo in the mix and I'd watch all 3 of these guys fight in any of those match ups, hope they can make something happen.

Lomachenko does not make "134", he makes 126 which is the featherweight limit. You are talking about rehydration weight which is something that just about every fighter does. Some fighters blow up 20 pounds on fight night, others put on 6 or 8 pounds which is fairly normal. You're making it sound as if he fights in the lightweight division. Please don't confuse both as they are not the same thing.

Sadly, Walters failed to make weight in his last fight. He is going to face Jason Sosa who is a super featherweight(130 pounder) in the undercard of Luis Ortiz-Bryant Jennings. Seems to me like he will fight in the super featherweight division, so Loma would have to move up for this fight to happen.

Donaire is not in Lomachenko's weight class, he fights at 122 & will probably fight for the belt that Rigo just got stripped of in his next fight in december.

Gamboa hasn't fought in a year, I would welcome this fight, but I'm afraid about the ring rust. Loma would also have to move to 130 for this fight to happen too.

All in all, great fights, but NONE of those fighters fight at 126. However, they are certainly negotiable & all would make great fights.

As I said in the other thread, I've still got Gamboa.

Despite being past his prime, inactive and not having a proper trainer, he was simply that good. He has obviously faded and the weight jumping will do him no favours, but even if he can get to 85% of what he was, I think he'll beat anyone from 126-130.

[Pain~Lucy]

they could fight by late 2016 or early 2017 to build up the fight

[John Locke]

A real 50-50 fight, don't be surprised if Gamboa edges it.

This is the same guy who had a huge chip on his shoulder when he left Arum because he thought he's worth millions of dollars. Fast forward he still thinks he's in fantasy land and he's already talking about how he and the Ukrainian guy will fill the MGM arena. He's been inactive and probably begging for his next meal, but hasn't humbled down.

Can't this guy just for once concentrate on making fights happen? He's talking as if there are no promotional issues here, which he himself created.
