    I honestly didn't think this fight was going to happen. Great for us fans.

    I'm with Gam by UD with a early scare.
    Winner will boost their stick for a big time money fight.

    Well, of these one of these two over hyped jobs will get cancelled out. Two puffed up dudes that gave up championships on the scales and are realisticaly seperated by a division...or more..when the opening bell rings. Strictly a network creation.

    This is their big money fight.

    This is an exciting match up, thought Gamboa had other challenges at his weight but maybe he hates the smirk of Rios and wants to kick his ass. Hope we get to see this fight over here.

    I hope the skill of Gamboa wins out, but Rios is bigger and he's a bully of a fighter. I see a Gamboa decision with a scare or two, or a Rios KO.

    I would assume that the winner would get Juan Manuel Marquez or Roberto Guerrero.

    That's how I see it. I'm excited about it. If Gamboa, he's a star.

    I hate sounding so negative but is anyone considering the poundage Gamboa is packing on here and how it negates that speed. Rios will come in unofficially well above 135 as hes appeared, check the handle bars, this will be a literal catchweight fight and personally I think Rios walks through a guy who can't afford to make as many mistakes as the sponge that is Rios and Gamboa hasn't fielded anything close to a legit lightweight punch yet. I think their kinda just serving up Gamboa and his noteriety here.

    That said, I hope Rios gets ktfo. Just sayin

    i kinda feel the same way, but IMO if Gamboa can keep his speed and power, and uses his movement he can easily pick Rios apart

    This is my view as well, including the hope that Rios gets KTFO. That happening depends entirely on him hurting himself to make weight, IMO, which is of course a very real possibility. I still think neither of these guys belongs at 135. Gamboa should be at 130 at most and Rios should definitely be at 140, if not WW.

    I really like Gamboa though and this would be huge for him if he pulled it off.

    Makes sense.

    What did Gamboa weigh for his last fight at the actual fight? Maybe he weighs 130-135 generally for his featherweight fights, and he'll just not have to pay any attention to the weight during camp?

    I would have preferred Gamboa had 2 fights to get adjusted to Emmanual Steward before gaining some pounds and fighting a heavier guy. Great head movement, but he has a habit of sitting in the pocket for a second or two and trying to slug with guys to make things exciting. Lets just hope he knows the difference a few pounds can make and puts on a boxing clinic first and slugs after Rios is wobbled/spent. Rios has a strap but as a guy of limited skill, he really doesn't have much to lose in terms of losing a fight to gamboa and what it means in terms of his longevity. He can lose and still live off a diet of bums he can walk down, margarito style, and still be paid.
