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.?
