Top Rank president Todd Deboef "I'm pushing for Rios vs. Gamboa on April 14th"

[asereestoypelao]

Well gamboa vs ríos april 14 good,good fight for boxing fans.

[MrAfilao]

I think there is a big difference in weight, and it is a big risk for Gamboa.

But you know what, that cuban kid has balls and skills, he's been fighting much bigger fighters at the time of the fight before. I still think think Gamboa skills will impose, even when the chance of getting KOed by Brandos Rios is high

[SAMSWILL]

I don't support this fight. Be mistake by Gamboa team.

[damit305]

Gamboa will pick apart Bam bam. Expect an early to mid rounds stoppage. Unlike Miguel Acosta that folded to Rios' tenacity and pressure, Gamboa will out-endure Rios given it goes to the later rounds. TKO 5 Gamboa. 

[phillymuniz]

True fight freaks are praying for this fight!

[SAMSWILL]

I'm cuban and that fight doesn't make any sense to me.

Rios to big and don't even have a title anymore

[ANTPHRESSH89]

@SAMSWILL rios would be drained his body ahs changed 140lbs is a strong weight for rios gamboa is too fasted too skilled right now

[damit305]

@ANTPHRESSH89 Rios has a nutritionist\conditioning coach now. 135 shouldn't be hard to make.

[MrAfilao]

@ANTPHRESSH89

the fight can't be at 140, Gamboa can't even make 140 a Rios fighting with nutritionists to make a 140 is going to come at 170? come on!

I think Rios coming even at 165-170 would get beat by Gamboa's skills but I agree Gamboa's team shouldn't throw his gallo in a match like that.

[damit305]

@SAMSWILL Gamboa has an agenda to fight Mr. P4P. (Not Floyd) Rios is a stepping stone in his path.

[MrAfilao]

@SAMSWILL

Here is the sense, it is not from the boxing start point, it is all about Top Prank.

They want to make the Gamboa vs Juanma Lopez fight, the hype that was gone after Salido destroyed Juanma. That fight isn't going to happen unless Gamboa takes a loss

I agree the weight differences is too much for this one, but I think Gamboa have the balls and skills to win

[KASHLAMDA]

Why make gamboa go up in weight when he can fight donaire. Seems to me that they don't care as much for gamboa.

[damit305]

@KASHLAMDA Gamboa should wait for Donaire @ 126 till 2013? Nope. If anything Donaire should make his move vs Gamboa immediately @ 126 bf Yuri moves up. Why not? Because Nonito wants nothing with Gamboa right now.

[MrAfilao]

@damit305

Nonito wants nothing with Gamboa and nothing with Guillermo Rigondeaux, I guess he would jump to fight in the heavy weights :)

[damit305]

@MrAfilao Olvidate de Rigo. Rigonedeaux is being treated like the hated stepchild by Top Rank. Rigondeaux needs to keep doing what hes doing and call out the best at the same time stay busy vs the right step up opposition.. I would love to see Rigo vs Arce or Nishioka.

[simozonelayer]

at 0:44 were you checking to see if his fingers were crossed?

:)

[bertmarx4ever]

yeah right..
