Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Jason Sosa

Post by diddy »

Am I the only one that thinks Sosa wins this fight handily? Gamboa looks like a shot fighter. Talk me out of hammering Sosa at -300 odds. This line should be double that. Sosa is a good fighter that only loses to the top level.

ppl underrate sosa. hes very tough and strong. think hes no worse than a guy like francisco vargas or miura and could beat both. id be surprised if gamboa beat him. gamboa doesnt like it tough.

Something tells me a draw wouldn't be too shocking of an outcome here. Gamboa knows his career is on the line with this one. Sosa is obviously the fresher fighter.

Sosa stopping him or taking a decision wouldn't be too shocking either, but I just sense a draw in this fight for some reason.

i think sosa is the type of fighter who gives gamboa the most problems these days. strong, aggressive, and keeps coming. look how gamboa dealt with that type of heat last time.

just can't see how Gamboa wins this fight , bailed out after 7 in May & scraped hone in August , taken this fight at 3 weeks notice Sosa wins everyday at this stage of their careers .

Should be a decent fight but think Sosa is probably fresher so should take it.

I get that prediction.

Sosa already has 4 career draws on his resume (rarely do we see a world class caliber fighter with 3 or more draws on their ledger).

Remember when people thought Gamboa was going to be special? I was one of those people.

if sosa wins i want him to fight fransisco vargas, at least if vargas beats sosa victim stephen smith. either that or alberto machado next. sosa gets treated like a journeyman but i think he could beat guys like salido, vargas, corrales, machado,and miura.hed at least win some. although if he loses tonight then its a bad look

wow, gamboa has two points off and still wins an md. seemed like a close fight where the deductions wouldve swung it to sosa.

i figurered it was closeish, but gamboa turned into a holder and his offence really slowed down so i coukd see how lederman liked sosa in the 2nd half. but for gamboa to win thats like 7 of 10 for him and i thought it was closer. like 5-5 then points off.

Terrible decision, guy gets a knockdown and plus they deduct a point from his opponent and he loses a 10 round fight? Makes you wonder..about the world..

That same Trella who had Canelo vs GGG as a draw. He is not terrible, he is corrupt.

I was really shocked at the decision. I thought with the point deductions Sosa had it for sure. I thought it was fairly close, but Sosa definitely should've gotten the nod.
