Gamboa moving to 126!

Friday, July 18 2008

Unbeaten Yuriorkis Gamboa (10-0, 8 KOs) was considered one of the big rising stars of the super featherweight division, however the 2004 Olympic gold medallist has now decided to go down in weight to campaign at 126 lbs. starting tonight in Primm, Nevada, against former 122 lbs. world title contender Al Seeger. "I think 126 is the most appropriate and most natural division for Gamboa at the moment", states promoter Ahmet Öner. "At 5'6 he is rather short. Fighting at 126 lbs. will help him be even more efficient and bring out his power and speed even more. If you keep in mind that he used to knock out tough guys at 130 you can imagine how he will clean up the featherweight division." Gamboa's fight with Seeger is for the WBA Fedelation championship. The co-main event of the night features light middleweight prospect Richard Gutierrez (24-2, 14 KOs) against Jerome "Boomer" Ellis (11-8-1, 10 KOs).

He should be even more of a force at 126, I don't think he'll drain himself to make weight, he needs to get better defensively though and I think he'll move back up to 130 eventually.

Isn't Linares moving up to 130?

After 400 amateur fights with your hands at your side, its unlikely he'll change that much.

Juanma/Gamboa would be a ridiculous fight at 126. Won't happen though...oh well.

That does worry me but I think with enough hard work, he can at least improve his defense if he doesn't get rid of his bad habit entirely.
