Gamboa moves up to take on Rios at 135.

Rios TKO5 in a war

Gamboa ko 4, way to classy for rios.

**Mark G** · February 16th, 2012, 09:11 PM

Oh fuck yeah! I can't wait to see this. I think that Gamboa's speed will make the difference though.

Me took, but great fight. And I wonder if the size difference will make any difference.

**TysonFan** · February 17th, 2012, 05:47 AM

Interesting. Gamboa is a unknown at 135. Gamboa's speed and power vs. Rios effective brawling style.

**HOMICIDE** · February 17th, 2012, 07:36 AM

Now this is something I think all boxing fans should look forward to...takes me back to the days Boxing After Dark was all action war!!!

**mex fighter** · February 17th, 2012, 07:44 AM

rios is my favorite fighter right now, and i don't give a fuck if he gets ktfo, he'll go out on his shield doing it.

i still see him taking gamboa out in about 8.

This would be a great win for him if he can pull it off. Gamboa has been fighting at feather and Rios and lightweight. You'd be happy to know that both of them fucked up a Chihuahua fighter lately (Ponce de Leon and Antillon). I wonder if size will play a factor in the outcome. Donaire is happy that Gamboa is moving away from the weights that he plans to campaign in I think!

**mex fighter** · February 18th, 2012, 08:10 AM

as if its such a difficult thing to do (fuck up a shihuahua fighter)

Gamboa might be moving up but Nonito still needs to get past Arce if Arce can get past his current opponent.

As much as I like Rios I can't see him beating a good boxer like Gamboa. Rios is fun to watch but he is too one-dimensional and much slower than Gamboa. I give Rios a punchers chance but I'm leaning towards Gamboa. It should be a great fight!!!

**Rebel** · February 21st, 2012, 09:33 AM

My initial gut feeling says this will be Gamboa's breakout fight. I hope I'm wrong.

**mex fighter** · February 21st, 2012, 09:47 AM

gamboa will try to make it a stinker by doing what most pinko commie refugee cubans do....tap tap tap and run.

hopefully he'll stay in the pocket and try to mix it up with rios. thats the type of fight i'm expecting, anyway.

gamboa is no jorge luis gonzalez, thats for sure. no one can obtain that kind of awesomeness.

Ain't that the truth, we may never see a SUPER STAR like JL Gonzalez in our life times...or EVER...he could walk on water

**mex fighter** · February 21st, 2012, 10:21 AM

i'm just glad we were alive while he was in his prime. i pity the fans that never saw him in his heyday. we're blessed.

Beyond blessed, may the Mayan calender be right and let it end in December so we can know that we were the last generation to see the Greatness of JL Gonzalez...

**mex fighter** · February 21st, 2012, 10:30 AM

all these other so-called "fans" will never understand how great he was. i'm sure they're rolling their eyes right now. they can kiss my black ass, as far as i'm concerned.

On the undercard, Mike Alvarado (32-0, 23 KOs) may face Mauricio Herrera (18-1, 7 KOs), who handed Rusland Provodnikov his first loss in a close decision in January 2011 on ESPN2.

**BKING** · February 25th, 2012, 09:09 AM

This is going to be a great fight. Bam Bam is the significantly bigger guy, but Gamboa has the faster hands and better skills. Bam Bam is coming to go to war; Gamboa will try to use his handspeed, but when he gets tagged, we may see fire works. Gamboa is no stranger to the canvas.

**The Hitman** · February 28th, 2012, 12:04 PM

Love this matchup, love Gamboa here.

**HOMICIDE** · March 6th, 2012, 08:26 AM

So...no one talking about how Gamboa no showed the press conference in his own back yard...looks like the fight won't be happening :(

**The Hitman** · March 6th, 2012, 08:31 AM

Yeah I hope the fight comes off. Apparently Gamboa is saying he never signed for the fight?

**mex fighter** · March 6th, 2012, 08:48 AM

maybe gamboa's vagina is leaking pussy juice.....who knows.

Ill say this much...if he backs out he is not cut from the cloth of the great JL Gonzalez that is for sure!

**mex fighter** · March 6th, 2012, 10:02 AM

shit, who is? JL Gonzalez>duran, leonard, hearns, ali, robinson, chavez

Preach!

**O-Dogg33** · March 6th, 2012, 12:10 PM

Gamboa is holding out til he gets more $. No deal was signed on his end apparently. What a pussy ass move! He waits until a few minutes before the press conference to relay this information to Top Rank. It'll suck to lose this fight I'm still bummed that we didn't get to see Ortiz-Berto II.

**HOMICIDE** · March 6th, 2012, 12:57 PM

He didn't show up to the LA presser either so I am pretty sure this fight will get shit canned soon and we will be left with Rios Vs. Some bum Abril

**Rebel** · March 8th, 2012, 12:58 PM

Top Rank even offered $100K extra for the winner yet he still backed out of the fight. What a shame.

**mex fighter** · March 8th, 2012, 01:04 PM

that pussy is definitely no JL Gonzalez.

what did we tell you?
