Gamboa is clearly the better fighter p4p, but I think Rios is just too big for him and wins by mid to late KO. Unless he's even more horrendously starved and dried out then last time, in which case maybe he goes down. Kind of dumb that that's the kind of thing that's going to determine the winner, rather than who's the better fighter.

There are other fights I'd rather see these guys in (tons for Rios at 140, for instance), and Gamboa going to 135 pretty much guarantees we never get Gamboa vs. Donaire, which is the fight I'd like to see more than any other below WW.
