I think if this fight is definatley not happening then Rios should just forget 135 and move up to 140. I feel a bit sorry for Rios having to travel so far for a press conference for a fight that Gamboa claims he never signed the contract for. That would be very frustrating for Rios but I think he should get over it and move on. There is a lot more opportunity for him to if he moves up now.

I think it was a bit disrespectful to Murray on Rios' behalf to not make 135 and then for Rios to fight at 135 again against Gamboa anyway. I read how he justifyed how he would make the weight for Gamboa and that is fair enough as beating a p4p fighter like Gamboa is worth sticking around at 135 for. Now that the fight isn't happening he should move up if he has had weight issues and focus on becoming a solid 140 fighter.

With Rios not making the weight at 135 I dont see how fighting DeMarco is a good move for his career. He should start pushing for titles at 140 now and move on from not getting the fight. Its a shame because Gamboa-Rios would have been a good fight, but this happens in boxing.
