World title shots for Gamboa and Hide

[Mikkel_K]

This was already posted in the Boxing Comments-board, and there is another thread on this WBC-stuff also, so feel free to move (or delete), although I found it worth noticing and debating here too: http://www.saddoboxing.com/8533-gomez-gamboa-hide.html

Anyway, Gamboa gets a shot at winning the WBC-interim title in his 13th pro-fight, as he is designated for an eliminator against Elio Rojas. Not really the big one, but still pretty cool for a guy who turned pro less than 18 monts ago.

Herbie Hide is assigned to fight a final eliminator against Matt Godfrey with the winner meeting the winner of Fragomeni-Wlodarszyk. All three fights look pretty cool to me, but then again I've always kinda liked Hide.

What do you guys think?

Hide-Godfrey is kind of interesting. I don't even know what Hide looks like these days, I haven't seen him fight in a long time. Godfrey looked a bit shaky last time out IMO. More than a bit actually.

I think Gamboa needs to get his head right & tighten up his defense,or he will be beaten as his competion increases...By KO.

I kinda like Hide. Huge power, china chin. Makes for interesting fights. Prime Hide V Haye would have been a fun fight to watch.

Another Herbie Hide fan here. Not sold on Gamboa, agree with Spicoli.

Massive fan of Hide here Hide deserves this title shot he has worked well for it.
