[SugarShane]

Easy fight for Gamboa.

 

[TommyGunn]

+1.

I'll stick this thread.

 

[LeedsLad]

He fights Humberto Toledo 2 weeks before according to boxrec Anyways, Gamboa will knock this guy out.

 

[SugarShane]

Boxrec is the crackhead of all boxing sites.

 

[TysonJones]

This is on espn 2 for those that didnt know. he also fights this weekend on espn2.

 

[LeedsLad]

Thanks Lance, just edited that in the title:thumbsup: Anyone seen much of this Edwards dude? I expect Gamboa to win easily but havent seen anything of Edwards.

 

[TysonJones]

Yeah, gamboa should crack his chin around the 2nd or 3rd.

 

[SugarShane]

Edwards sucks. He's just a toss-in opponent.

 

[TysonJones]

Its for the NABF championship belt now. gamboa will not be fighting on the 8th after all.

 

[SugarShane]

I know. That was too close of a period for him to fight and fight again anyways. There's always a good chance of one of those fights getting canceled.

 

[Icantbox]

so if Gamboa keeps fighting and winning, what is the earliest ya'll could seee him fighting for a major title?

 

[TysonJones]

The end of this year.
