Re: No Rios vs Gamboa
Well, that's a downer. Was already looking forward to it. Hope the fight still pushes through. Starting to look like Gamboa's having serious issues with Top Rank. Gamboa should just follow Lamont's way and give Arum the middle finger.

It's not off yet and there's still time, hopefully it happens because this is one of the more intriguing fights of 2012.

Re: No Rios vs Gamboa
why should a guy who is fighting at 126 move up and fight the biggest 135 pounder in the world?

Re: No Rios vs Gamboa
I like the idea of 100k to the winner but it's got me thinking the fight's not gonna happen. Looks bad if the promoter is trying to bribe you into a fight. Is Gamboa having any problems with Top Rank

Broken record here but I'm not all busted up if this doesn't happen. Gamboa is not a lightweight, neither is Rios for that matter.

Re: No Rios vs Gamboa
Awww, bummer this would've been a great fight. Rios is just huge for a LW but Gamboa is so much more talented and would've really whipped his ass imo. Shame that won't happen as I rarely take a dislike to fighters as I have Rios, although I think he might be for real mentally retarded.

Re: No Rios vs Gamboa
Neither fighter had any business fighting at LW anyway, but I was looking forward to a weight drained Rios taking a beating.

Re: No Rios vs Gamboa
They probably just thought they'd promote the fight, and Gamboa would fall in line to avoid disappointing the fans.
Gamboa probably shouldn't take the fight. Gamboa would be a small lightweight, and Rios shouldn't even be fighting at lightweight anymore.
Though, there is some speculation as to whether Rios was just irresponsible with his weight and maybe now he's learned his lesson, and will be gradually down to 135.

Re: No Rios vs Gamboa
It was too good to be true. Gamboa is super talented to fight at lightweight, Rios has said he can make the weight if motivated, so this would either be a good fight or a serious mismatch of the kind Terry Norris v Meldrick Taylor provided a number of years ago.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

His last fight was at 126 and jumping 2 weight divisions to 135 doesn't seem smart to me.Why doesn't gamboa?
