Next for JuanMa has to be Marquez or Caballero although I'd heard Gamboa and Caballero might be on a collision course. In the meantimemI'd like to see Gamboa step it up against a top Feather who is established such a Larios or maybe a shot at the IBF Champion Cristobel Cruz and then push for the Juarez-John winner before taking the big fight with JuanMa.
True that about Lopez.Hes just hitting a wide known stride himself.I think that Gamboa needs to step back...get some off TV time and fine tune his game.I think they are moving him at a hurried pace and bypassing focus on defense and patients.Frankly I think hes a bit spoiled.I though at first they were going after Cruz for coronation belt.Maybe I'm loco but right now I think Cruz can weather him early and beat Gamboa.

Not sure about Larios on different levels.Giving his medical situation I dont see Larios in the States and getting a fight like that.He's depths above Gamboa in experience....tough as nails battler but as of late he gets hit 'ugly' with effect.Dont want to see him facing anyone with big power....could end in a bad way and a steady diet of milk shakes?
