      Two outstanding athletes with fast hands, blinding reflexes, KO power and styles which were/are both entertaining and highly unorthodox.

      You'd have no problems selling out the MGM with this pair and you might expect something special.

      But anyone who's seen Gamboa at length must worry about that chin. And Hamed hit with the kind of power which would seriously worry some Super Middles.

      Granted, Hamed took an eight count on half a dozen occasions. But it would be a mistake to think his chin was in any way vulnerable. Hamed's weakness was always overbalancing throwing slashing upper-cut hooks starting somewhere near his toes. Gamboa is unquestionably quick enough to catch and topple him at the full extension of the punch. But putting Hamed down and keeping Hamed down were two feats no fighter ever accomplished.

      At best Yuri turns the fight into a Kevin Kelley-style shootout and suffers the same fate. At worst - he overdoses on starch early.
