BoxingScene.com has been advised by more than one source that hot featherweight Yuriorkis Gamboa (11-0, 9 KOs), who won a gold medal in the 2004 Olympics, signed a promotional deal with Don King. Gamboa was being co-promoted in America by Arena Box, based in Germany, and Gary Shaw. [details]

I really, really liked how the combination of Arena and Shaw were moving him. I sort of feel uneasy about the new move. He better keep his October 4th date though. That HBO card might not go on without him and it is a good one top to bottom. -
Expect Gamboa to have long stretches of inactivity now that he signed with King

You thought Primm Nevada was an odd place?
DK will have him fighting in Montana and Maine or whatever random place he can find.Comment

My thoughts exactly.
Seriously, do these fighters realize the lack of ANYTHING DK has done for ANYBODY he has that is not a heavyweight the past several years? Only Cory Spinks got a little attention from DK, and that was because he could sell tickets in St.Louis.
Devon Alexander, anyone?
This is horrible news.Comment

I hope he doesn't get ripped off, pushed too soon or made to wait long periods for fights, Shaw was moving him well.Comment

Not that I'm a big fan of Gary Shaw or anything, but it seemed to me Shaw was doing a very good job with him, fighting the right opponents (good ones too) and getting him exposure on ESPN, HBO and Showtime. Not sure what Don King has planned but lets hope he has the kid fighting good opposition and frequently.Comment
