Good one. At this point this fight is 50-50. boxing fan wins.

gamboa cant make 130 and if he can that makes this 65 fortuna imo..gamboa is up in years and rust...not a good combo to be losing weight..HE DID IT TO HIMSELF THO..

Solid matchup. Both have the power to hurt each other, Gamboa's speed could trouble Fortuna, and Fortuna's angles and awkwardness could trouble Gamboa. Solid matchup!

is fortuna not just as fast?? and factor gamboa having to drop to 130 again..rust and age..i think he's getting ko'd..surely better comp than uchiyama has been facing...this fight determines if fortuna is number 2 in teh division imo

Gamboa is in a hell of a position right now in boxing. Especially for a guy who hasn't been all that active.

He's been linked to fighting Jorge Linares, Francisco Vargas, and now Javier Fortuna. All great matchups, with plenty of skill, power, and fan friendly fights.

2016 is looking like a big year for Gamboa.

ppl at 130 dont respect him bc he hasnt made the weight and would hurt himself to do so imo...and his age is up there...weight drained and chinny..who wouldnt give away the first 3 rounds for that lol

Battle of two reckless fighters. I like it.

[HanzGruber]

Fortuna is fast and his combinations are difficult for an opponent to deal with. Gamboa used to have more combinations but like you said, age and rust takes a bit of that away.

[St. Johns Gent]

Excellent Fight! Great to hear that Gamboa has some great options on the table to either fight Fortuna or Francisco Vargas
