Gamboa's opponent announced

Texanballer774918y ago

Unbeaten super featherweight sensation Yuriorkis Gamboa (9-0, 8 KOs) will now face Darling Jimenez (23-2-2, 14 KOs) his May 17th HBO debut. Jiminez has won six straight, all by KO. Gamboa was originally slated to face WBO #2 Ranked Marcos Ramirez (25-0, 16 KOs), but Ramirez decided not to take the fight. A 2004 Olympic Gold medal winner for Cuba, Gamboa opened eyes in his U.S. television debut back in February as he brutally knocked out Johnny Edwards in one round on ESPN2 to win the NABF super featherweight title. He has been so impressive that after just nine fights, he is rated WBA #5 and WBC #8 respectively. A good step up opponent i think possibly better than Ramirez since i know who Jimenez is since he last beat former champion Mike Anchondo

first of all, Yuriourkis looks like Nelly http://www.grooveshark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/nelly.gif http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/01ovgUA8whfZb/340x.jpg second, is Gamboa also a defector like Casa? LOL i was thinking the exact same thing when i first saw him on ESPN2 this should be a good fight!!

Yessir, he is a defectior. Jiminez is no damn joke.. If Gamboa wins this, he's gonna have a title shot before his 15th pro fight.

Good step up against a guy who has won like his last 6 by KO.
