    Comments Thread For: Machado Could Face Gamboa, Vargas or Mensah on Canelo-GGG

    WBA super featherweight champion Alberto "El Explosivo" Machado could very well make his fist world title defense on May 5th, as part of the HBO Pay-Per-View undercard to the middleweight rematch between Gennady Golovkin and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.

    I haven't seen Mensah to comment on him, but between the other two I really hope it's Vargas over Gamboa. Even with the eye damage a possibility I'd pick him over the Machado we saw last time out.

      Mensah is probably Habib Ahmed's little cousin, Gamboa is washed up. Wouldn't mind seeing Vargas take that strap from Machado.

        Machado-Vargas is a great fight and likely turns into a war.

              Not sold on machado he is very robotic, slow and hittable and his chin is questionable. He was hurt bad by Carlos morales who has zero power. Was losing to corrales and hurt multiple times before the knockdown. Which corrales beat but the ref stopped the fight. But he has 1 punch power that bailed him out against corrales. I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch of the corrales fight or vargas. Machado is a terrible style match for Gamboa. Sure he might school machado and win a lot of rounds but only a matter of time till he destroys Gamboa chin.

              Machado vs Vargas
              Corralles vs Gamboa

                K don't think machado is nothing special but he proved he has serious heart in that Corrales fight who had him hurt in practically every round. At this stage i think he beats gamboa, him and vargas would be a good fight. He really needs to work on things tho, very easy to hit and his offense is extremely repetitive

                  Machado vs Vargas
                  Corralles vs Gamboa
                  Both of those fights would be exciting while they last.
