The fans also found Rodríguez as the clear winner, with 30 scorers on BoxRec averaging a score of 116.57–111.63 in favor of Rodríguez.

Gaballo vs. Sueno, Bravo

Gaballo vs. Paipharob

Prior to the Michael Bravo victory, Gaballo became the mandatory challenger for Jason Moloney's WBO title, Moloney would first defend his title on a rather controversial victory against Saul Sanchez, a month after that, Gaballo made his second defense of the Oriental belt against veteran and former Interim WBA strawweight champion Paipharob Kokietgym, Gaballo makes a quick work out of his Thai foe as he landed the same shot that Donaire made him taste defeat, left punch to the body, ending the bout in 32 seconds. Although Gaballo seemed like the reasonable opponent for Moloney, however, on March 6, 2024, Moloney would be announced to defend his WBO title against Yoshiki Takei.

Gaballo vs. Torres

In April 7, 2024, Gaballo was set to have a keep-busy fight before taking a world championship bout, awaiting for Moloney vs. Takei winner, Gaballo's opponent, Kenbun Torres is an interesting opponent, having a rather lackluster career from 2003 to 2007, amassing a record of 10–2 before retiring until Torres' return in 2016 amassing a record of 12–3, and retiring again, in 2023 he returned again and his first bout was an upset knockout loss against a journeyman but would compose a record of 13–5 before fighting Gaballo, Torres later vowed to make a life-changing victory, and so Torres did, Torres scored a shocking 3 knockdowns against Gaballo en route to a first round TKO loss for Gaballo.
