It's in the running for KO of the year so far.
Yuri is the real deal. He should have a belt in less than a year.

Yuriorkis Gamboa v Al Seeger on July 18, 2008
For those of us who have so excitedly followed the career of Al Seeger since before he turned professional, we have known that a lack of confidence is not one of Mr. Seeger’s characteristics, and his stepping into the ring with Yuriorkus Gamboa shows that to be true. Most commentators blogging about the fight's results fail to mention that Mr. Seeger had a maximum 3-5 day notice of substitution for this fight. Al Seeger had absolutely no time to prepare mentally or physically for the boxing style that a Gamboa employs, or to study the videos. This was a last minute substitution when the scheduled boxer, Jose Rojas, backed out of the engagement. Should Al have even accepted this fight at the last moment begets a different and unrelated question. In my mind this makes Al Seeger even more courageous than he is, and has always been, throughout his boxing career. This superb boxer, perhaps not a household name to some boxing fans, but to those of us who have followed his career, we find Al Seeger to be a phenomenal athlete, and a world class boxer. His reach, his poetry of movement and his record of defeat by knockout of the majority of his prominent opponents speaks volumes for his talents. I would ask all who saw this bout, and who came away with the impression that Mr. Gamboa “blew away” Mr. Seeger, to go back and to review Al Seeger, both as an amateur, and as a professional. No one would be able to find anything to disqualify him from championship status during the course of his illustrious career. This Kid is a wonder, and a beauty to behold. One merely needs to look at his long & powerful straight right hand, his lightning-quick left and right jabs, and especially, as to his poetry of movement, and then from nowhere, he unleashes a combination of shots against his opponents. Granted, the result of the Gamboa bout for Al has to be deeply disappointing. His fans pray that he was not injured, and that he will soon return to training after the required ‘down time’. Having followed this young boxer for a time, I am even more in awe of his courage and his strength, than I was prior to this bout. When I see his dignity and his commanding courage, I see a professional in the mold of the boxing greats. I wish Al Seeger much future success, and while I pray that he does nothing to compromise his health, I also desire that he not become discouraged. This is but one bout in an illustrious career, and even the greatest boxers have stumbled before again arising and continuing on to even greater glory. I sincerely believe that Mr. Seeger added to his already large fan base that night! Al Seeger has truly, in my humble opinion, snatched a victory out of the jaws of defeat! Mr. Gamboa may have won this fight, but even in the results of this night’s engagement, Al Seeger is still a champ to those of us who ardently follow and love him.Comment

The money must have been pretty good for Seeger to step in on such short notice. He shouldn't have been in at 126 anyways, thats not his weight.
Taking this fight after two tough losses back to back wasn't the best career move, but that's the business.Comment
