No Rios vs Gamboa

[p4pking]

Awww, bummer this would've been a great fight. Rios is just huge for a LW but Gamboa is so much more talented and would've really whipped his ass imo. Shame that won't happen as I rarely take a dislike to fighters as I have Rios, although I think he might be for real mentally retarded.

Neither fighter had any business fighting at LW anyway, but I was looking forward to a weight drained Rios taking a beating.

They probably just thought they'd promote the fight, and Gamboa would fall in line to avoid disappointing the fans.

Gamboa probably shouldn't take the fight. Gamboa would be a small lightweight, and Rios shouldn't even be fighting at lightweight anymore.

Though, there is some speculation as to whether Rios was just irresponsible with his weight and maybe now he's learned his lesson, and will be gradually down to 135.

It was too good to be true. Gamboa is super talented to fight at lightweight, Rios has said he can make the weight if motivated, so this would either be a good fight or a serious mismatch of the kind Terry Norris v Meldrick Taylor provided a number of years ago.

Good comparison. I just recently watched that fight too.

But are either of them yet as good as Taylor and Norris were ?

I think Gamboa's talent is closer to Taylor's was than Rios is to Norris.

Idk I just don't like Rios. He's a bully and a thug.

my only gripe is why did gamboa wait this long to come out with this statement, this fight was brewing for some time now. With this I'm starting lean towards Rios.

Gamboa pulled one on a lot of people. He let the talks continue and the chatter go around. He saw how Timothy Bradley played his cards, and he got what he wanted. If the money was right he would fight, but I would say he would make the LEAST amount of money for a champion jumping two weight divisions in history.

I do not think that Rois would make the weight anyway. Almost guaranteed he comes in over. This is what he gets for training with Margarito, being a douchebag, and acting like a thug.

But again, any publicity is publicity. Look what Margarito did with his career. He is the whipping post

My dogs talent is closer to Floyd Mayweather's than Rios's is to Norris. I think Gamboa would have whipped ass, shame this is off!

His last fight was at 126 and jumping 2 weight divisions to 135 doesn't seem smart to me.

Oh ok. I agree with that, I thought you had some other reason.

Gamboa is a girl. If you're going to pull out of a fight, you shouldn't wait until you're supposed to be at a press conference a month before the fight.

Gamboa has lost himself a fan.
