RAZZ-MCFC Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 do one Lopez, got beat off an average fighter, Gamboa would smash him to pieces. He's just fishing for a payday. After scoring an 8th round technical draw over Daniel Ponce De Leon on Saturday night, Yuriorkis Gamboa made it clear he was looking to leave the featherweight division due to the lack of competition. Puerto Rican featherweight Juan Manuel Lopez seems to have taken acception to Gamboa’s comments. “There are plenty of quality fighters at featherweight,” said Lopez. “If he fights me, I will beat him.” Lopez and the Cuban Gamboa were being groomed for a potential super fight, but Lopez lost to Orlando Salido earlier in the year, this creating a bump in the road for the match-up. “I have to fight Mike Olive in October,” said Lopez. “Then I have to take care of business with Salido, but after that I am more than happy to fight Gamboa.” As for Gamboa, he has set his sights high, and probably unrealistic, as he is fishing for a showdown with pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao; a fighter who campaigns three divisions away from Gamboa’s featherweight class. www.examiner.com/latino-boxing-in-national/juan-manuel-lopez-questions-yurokis-gamboa-move-from-featherweight#ixzz1XjesbbHH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelchair Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Would be explosive before Lopez gets KO'd though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamasadlittleboy Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Would have liked him in with John, Gonzalez or Garcia before he moved up personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ-MCFC Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Would have liked him in with John, Gonzalez or Garcia before he moved up personally. I think he should fight John at 130, who gives a fuck about a world title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should fight John at 130, who gives a F*** about a world title. John then has the good old "I wasn't good at the weight" argument. At 130, sadly, there isn't a lot going =/ Broner and then...errrr...Salgado? Ignore Uchiyama and Ao, Burns can't make the weight (apparently...)...thnnest division in the sport today.

brooklynbrawler Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Re: Juanma questions Gamboa's move up After scoring an 8th round technical draw over Daniel Ponce De Leon on Saturday night, Yuriorkis Gamboa made it clear he was looking to leave the featherweight division due to the lack of competition. I thought Gamboa won the fight? Either way, the fight still makes sense, just not as much as it would have done a year ago. They really missed the boat on that one, and I knew one of them was destined to lose before the fight could happen. Would have been somewhat of a superfight...now it isn't.

londoner Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 It looked like this might happen. The fight between Gamboa and Lopez has been spoken about for over a year and the longer it dragged on the more it looked unlikely to happen with one reason being that one of them might move up in weight.

RAZZ-MCFC Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 It'll teach Bob for trying to milk as much money as he could out of Juanma before throwing him to Gamboa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 JuanMa needs to concentrate on his own career. Gamboa would hammer him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
