Hulk i was not saying anything about Broner i just saying jml needs to go beat sal. You were saying this shit about ducking which i think is a tad to soon to say about a fighter who just lost his belt.

I like Gamboa more than Lopez. I'm a Gamboa fan and aside from Ponce De Leon, Gamboa has done far better against their common opponents.

I just think that HBO and company are trying to sweep a Gamboa vs. Lopez showdown under the rug far too soon. Lopez is an elite fighter still.

And I was glad Salido TKO'd him. But can he do it again ?

That match vs Salido more and more has proven to be a great learning curve and plus for Gamboa. Was the first time I recall him making big a alterations as it went and showed maturity with Ponce Deleon as well as appreciation for power. I believe the stoppage was iffy though. Gamboa has many options but he still has some big gaps in defense and leaping in badly that can be exploited. Not sure about a Lopez fight, they have just gone different directions and Lopez has some rebuilding to do. I'd favor Gamboa in a shoot out even though Lopez to me is all around more sound boxer. He's just been through the grinder.
