Lately, Yuriorkis Gamboa has been going tit-for-tat with Mikey Garcia through social media, calling the Oxnard fighter out with some funny memes including the one below.

Garcia has called out Gamboa in the past, but for now is focused on his January 25 opponent, Juan Carlos Burgos.
So instead of Garcia being the target for Gamboa’s trash talk, it seems as though Brandon Rios has found himself at the center of the social media scuffle.
Check the tweets below by both men.

Should Yuriorkis Gamboa continue to seek a fight with Brandon Rios–a fight he refused when he was signed to Top Rank–or should he target Mikey Garcia instead?
