Unbeaten super featherweight sensation Yuriorkis Gamboa (9-0, 8 KOs) puts on a display of strength under the watchful eye of his strength and conditioning coach Moritz Klatten as he does chin ups with 90 pounds of weights attached to his lower body. The feat is amazing considering Gamboa fights at 130 pounds. Gamboa is in intense training for his May 17th HBO debut against fellow unbeaten and WBO #2 Ranked Marcos Ramirez (25-0, 16 KOS). 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

Man,his next opponent is 25-0 with 16KOs,Gamboa doesnt want no easy options,hardly any fighter today has had this great opposition in there first 10 fights

Something i recognised about Gamboas opponent is out of his 25 fights,3 have come by the way of DQ,his last fight was against Adailton De Jesus (Who Gamboa knocked out) And Dejesus was warned 5 times,and had points deducted for lowblows,something tells me Ramirez plays up to lowblows,something Gamboa has got to watch out for

Gamboa is the real deal! he is the future star at superfeather! and damn at him already fighting a guy with that good a record lol

dude doesnt wanna be handfed! and HBO knows a star when they see one thats why the scooped him up real quick.

This guy is devastating he has some crazy power he is a true specimen.

I want to see him vs VALERO! badly!

Gamboa's defense is his speed. He can see shots before they come and has incredible hand speed (great left hook). Hes also really big for a flyweight, but he looks bigger in photos than he actully is. Hes gonna be the next big thing though, you watch

HBO To Televise Super-Prospect Yuriorkis Gamboa's Next Fight

25.03.08 - by James Slater: The sensationally talented Yuriorkis Gamboa, who defected from his native Cuba so as to make it as a pro in boxing, will have his next fight, in May, shown on massive T.V cable channel HBO. For many fight fans, this bout will mark the first time they will have seen the supremely gifted and ultra-exciting Gamboa. They are in for a treat.

Marcos Ramirez, of Kansas City, also an unbeaten prospect, is the man expected to be facing the 9-0(8) Gamboa on May the 17th. Gamboa's German promoter, Ahmet Oener, is certainly moving his boxer quickly. The 26 year old super-featherweight, who, in his last fight in February, destroyed the capable Johnnie Edwards in less than a single round to annex the vacant NABF 130 pound title, isn't phased about fighting such good opposition so early in his career, however..

Gamboa, a former Olympic gold medallist at flyweight, is surely a world champion of the future. Blessed with speed and awesome power, the 26 year old looks as close to a dead cert to make it to the very top as you could likely find. Since turning pro back in April of last year Gamboa has blazed through everything in his path. Can he do the same against the unbeaten Ramirez on his HBO debut?

Ramirez has a superb 25-0(16) record. Turning pro back in August of 2000, the fighter nicknamed "Flaco" is a talent in himself. Aged 26 like Gamboa, Ramirez has also been in with an opponent that the gifted Gamboa fought. Brazilian Adailton De Jesus is the common opponent in question, and both men beat him. The problem for the man from Kansas, however, is the fact that Gamboa ripped through De Jesus in six impressive rounds, while Ramirez was forced to go the full twelve rounds to achieve his win. If this is anything to go by, Ramirez is without a doubt the lesser puncher of the two men. Still, Ramirez was the first man to defeat the Brazilian, and a case could be made that he softened him up somewhat for Gamboa.

Unless there is an upset of the scale of the recent one that saw the hotly tipped Andy Lee beaten, Gamboa will surely get his tenth win on May 17th, though - whether this fight is against Ramirez or another fighter. The dazzling Gamboa will also likely thrill his HBO audience while winning.

nice article it rearly doesnt matter who he faces at the moment hes a fighter that can rearly cause trouble.

Alot of their fighters were born strictly to box. Gamboa is incredibly talented and I am wondering who will give him his first shot. Oh **** just imagine Gamboa vs Linares

that would be a great fight. i think him vs guerrero also. i just wish someone would take chris johns belt.

let's see if gamboa impresses HBO tonight.
