Mikey going to be dominant for quite some time. Awesome talent.
Good kid, too.
I have to go find me a Gonzalez connection.
Rocky has all the heart, desire and quick hands he will ever need, everything else is robotic or maybe stilted, anyway less than smooth.
Good win for Garcia.
A swarming Gamboa with fast combinations on the in the inside (where it suits his reach) could have Mikey a little flustered. Too bad he doesn't do that anymore. He doesn't even have someone that can be heard over the cash register sounds to clue him in. One or 2 flash knockdowns could be possible for Gamboa catching Mikey on the way in. But then Gamboa would get on his bike and duck/spin/clinch his way to a decision loss to keep from taking a drubbing, A stiff jab from mikey on the occasional 1 punch lunge from Gamboa could put an off balance gamboa on the seat of his pants. This fight would be 99% mental with Gamboa being disinterested and disarmed by the first game fighter he's fought in a while.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

Donaire got pushed by old Vic, but he over came Vic in style, Rocky boxed a lot better than I have
ever seen him box before,! Garcia boxed very level headed, it was a good showing of his skills,
I would leave Gamboa alone, as I can only see it ending in tears for Garcia.
While the favorites won, what did we learn? Donaire's is at the end of his career. Garcia doesn't have an invincible chin. Andrade is not the next coming. On the flip side, Donaire's power carried up to featherweight. Garcia is an incredibly accurate sharp shooter and Andrade has a very effective jab.
