50 cents on Gamboa

Jackson, also promotes junior lightweight title-holder Yuriokis Gamboa and is busy securing him his next assignment. Jackson says Gamboa wants to fight lightweight champ Adrien Broner but that they tried to make a fight with the man Broner won his belt from, Antonio DeMarco. Jackson says that potential bout fell through, however, when DeMarco promoter Gary Shaw said he wanted an interim fight for his fighter before facing Gamboa. But, Jackson pointed out, “I’m only telling you the things that fall apart. I’m not going to tell you the things I’m working on because you people get in the way. Because then your opinions start flying and you make the guy nervous.”

Luego había uno por ahí que preguntaba con tono cínico por qué Gamboa no enfrentaba a DiMarco. Pues ahí lo tienen, el mexicano, o su gente, no quiere. ¿Miedo a desmoronar completamente al azteca? Yo creo que sí. Pobre Gamboa, ni luciendo mal, dejan de temerle.
