Cuban fighters are so babied lol... they made sure they put Gamboa in with the lightest-hitter they could match make him with lol...

Great to see him back, can't wait

These long layoffs are extremely disappointing.

Finally Gamboa is back but at lightweight is still a stupid idea. Unnecessary putting himself at a disadvantage and risk not to mention low rewards all the good stuff is south of lightweight.

Ortiz vs Jennings should be good as well. Hard to measure Ortiz so far demolishing cab drivers I don't put too much stock in that.

word is that gamboa is a lazy drunk/cig smoker...has no real interest in being the best he can be..just makes a little money every now..idk how true it is but judging from how his career has went....hmmm

Gamboa vs Walters.

There was talk of that fight for December of this year but Gamboa has been inactive so he needs a tune up.

How nice so now the WBA will have 3 "champions". Tyson Fury their "Super" champion. Ruslan Chagaev their "Regular" champion and this winner of this their "Interim" champion. WBA is definitely the worst all these alphabet organizations.
