Quite a good fight here I think. Seeger proved against De Leon hes quite a tricky fighter, I look forward for this step up for Gamboa.

Nice to see him take a small step up, i don't think in gamboa's eyes it matters who is in there but we'll see if this guy can make him pay a little more for the mistakes gamboa makes.

Darling Jiminez is a really underrated fighter, I've only seen this Seeger in bits and pieces but I'm not sure he's any more of a test then Jiminez.

Seeger is a step sideways, he will get schooled hard. He's got nothing to keep Gamboa at bay powerwise. His ko % is very misleading, I saw him against Mike Oliver and that was superbantam(his last fight) he jumping up to SF and is in over his head IMO.

The guide says Gamboa's fighting Jose Rojas, but BoxRec still says Seeger.

Good choice for Gamboa, bad choice for Seeger. I will be surprised if this fight is competitive at all.

Seeger is the perfect choice for Gamboa after his performance with Jimenez.

Seegers mainly known for facing DPDL most recently he fought Oliver.

Seeger is not active enough and is slow he just stands there he has a lazy jab.

If there's ever an opponent where Gamboa HAS TO show what he's got this is it. I really expect nothing less then an explosive TKO win in a one sided affair.

Is this for Gamboa's spot on ESPN Friday Night?

Can't wait; got my DISH service back up and looking forward to FNF's. Never seen Seeger tbh; but I like Gamboa and hope he sparks this guy in definitive fashion.

Seeger fought Daniel Ponce De Leon in 06.
You actually might have seen Seeger when he fought Mike Oliver think it was one of those times where FNF was moved to like a Thursday or something I can't remember the specifics now but I think that's how it happened.

Should be a relatively easy fight for Gamboa IMO accompanied by a nice KO!!!
