Re: Gamboa said he do 130 for Mikey Garcia
After his last fight, why would people want to see it? He needs to step it up and remind everyone why fans were excited before. If this is him trying to entice fans into another good enough effort, while he continues to potshot and let his combination hand speed and head movement spoil, he needs to save it. Truth be told, statements like that are part of whats wrong with boxing. Guys like broner and maybe now gamboa, play the weight game, try to rely on natural talent and try to cherry pick division champs for trinkets to improve their star status and get more money per fight. If that's where this is going I'd rather see if Garcia can get the strap back and have a long run at dominance of a weight class, rather than seeing gamboa possibly win one (once an sanctioning body finds a strap to put up for the fight) and then bolt to another division higher or lower right after. Just my opinion.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
