Arum: Garcia-Gamboa in Serious Negotiations For 5/17 - Boxing News
I was so pumped to go see Gonzalez-Mares at Staples but since Mares fucked up everything, this is the second best option.. But knowing Arum, I wont hold my breath for the undercards..
Re: Mikey Garcia-Gamboa in serious negotiation for a fight at the Forum LA 5/17
Just pumped to see boxing back at the Forum. Used to love those Tourneys they put ogether and aired there. Garcia should do a number on Gamboa but it'll be fun.
Re: Mikey Garcia-Gamboa in serious negotiation for a fight at the Forum LA 5/17
I think Garcia is too precise for Gamboa :) both are a little chinny so could produce some drama :D
Re: Mikey Garcia-Gamboa in serious negotiation for a fight at the Forum LA 5/17
My inside sources from Banner promotion think that Gamboa has the style to get garcia off his rhythm..
If you guys are attending this fight, sign in and we will have a Saddo kick back next to the beer stands.. we'll just post up like gangsters and get our drink on..
Re: Mikey Garcia-Gamboa in serious negotiation for a fight at the Forum LA 5/17
gamboa is fast but he is way too easy to be hit. garcia will easily capitalize.
Re: Mikey Garcia-Gamboa in serious negotiation for a fight at the Forum LA 5/17
Gamboa has looked like shit in at least his last two fights. Hard to see any other outcome than a Garcia win.

Gamboa has one of the worst cases understanding his own range and Garcia has one of the best... This will be an Easy UD for Garcia if Gamboa can't win inside of 3rds as Mikey uses those rounds to learn.
GARCIA UD - Gamboa stops taking risks in the middle rounds and coasts to a well deserved loss.
I'd personally be interested in a Donaire Vs Garcia instead

All of this depends on if Gamboa comes up under-conditioned. Which may not be the case. Gamboa may be able to bring the heat for at least 8 full 3 minute rounds.
Re: Mikey Garcia-Gamboa in serious negotiation for a fight at the Forum LA 5/17
I hope Gamboa can win this, it is a quality fight.

Agreed.. garcia wins easily was my initial thought but I look back and realize many great mexican fighters have hard time when up against slick black boxers..
Re: Mikey Garcia-Gamboa in serious negotiation for a fight at the Forum LA 5/17
Heck of a fight. I'll get there if it happens.
Re: Mikey Garcia-Gamboa in serious negotiation for a fight at the Forum LA 5/17
1 fight in 2012, 1 fight in 2013 and 1st fight in 2014 v Garcia? Gamboa is going to get destroyed. I think hes going to take a nice payday here and retire.

You may be right but garcia has never fought anyone with exceptional speed, movement, and the power of Gamboa.. looking at his record, he's fought a bunch of bangers who stood right in front of him ..
Gamboa has been boxing and using the ring a lot more lately .. garcia is gonna get some new looks in this fight and he might have to work a little more for a victory..

Mikey with a big KO on his way to stardom

I don't agree.. All of Gamboa's speed and conditioning are counterproductive. He moves around with no real purpose and his sense of range is slightly amateurish. Garcia is surperb at exposing weakness and Gamboa's weakness is tailor made for Garcia and will lead to an easy UD.

This would actually be a really exciting fight I'm sure. Considering Gamboa has been treading water for years, it's easy to forget his talent, and the fact that he's still undefeated, or yet to face a truly hard fight. I'd favour Garcia as most would I'm sure, but Gamboa could surprise everyone once he's actually faced with losing down the stretch. He's certainly the more explosive athlete of the two.
If it weren't for the gongshow of promotional disputes in boxing, this would probably be a candidate for co main to Mayweathers next fight as well.

Thing is Garcia is not a Mexican boxer he is an American boxer . He honed his craft here in the USA. So you may as well call all black fighters Africans. Secondly using Gamboa and slick in the same sentence is a joke. Gamboa is a fast fighter with no fighting style or identity. Gamboa does not even know who he is in the ring and loses focus during his fights. None of his previous opponents have the skills Garcia and all come straight foward brawlers like the opponents you say Garcia has faced. Name one opponent that Gamboa has faced that has a boxers skillset?
Mikey is going to jab the midget to death with height and 3 inch reach advantage, frustrate the hell out of him then make him gamble & lunge in and then KTFO out of him

I wouldn't be surprised if both guys got dropped along the way. Garcia is able to adjust to his opponent as needed ;)
