Yuriorkis Gamboa is on The Fast Track

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By T.K. Stewart - Cuban Yuriorkis Gamboa won a gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, which he calls, "My biggest feat in boxing so far."

Tonight at Buffalo Bill’s Star Arena in Primm, Nevada he’ll try to make good on another feat and win a world boxing title. For Gamboa, his has been a professional boxing career that so far has sped by at warp speed. His first title shot will come against Venezuelan veteran Jose Rojas for the vacant interim WBA featherweight belt.

It will be Gamboa’s 15th fight after only two years as a pro. To date he has only fought 46 rounds in the paid ranks and already he has been officially down on the deck four times, only to storm back every time to secure the victory. [details]

I love the guy, and he has been great, but has only beaten bums. He has to start fighting people with pulses.

The guy is amazing to watch. I'm a fan. He's an incredible talent at the very least....I wonder how far it will take him.

[MR.PLANAS]

Great boxing skills with an extremely weak chin. We'll have to see how he would hold up with a real puncher.

His opposition through 15 fights is pretty ****in solid if you ask me.

Only the Ramirez guy, who was 25-0 (i think).

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Gamboa needs ti tight that defense up, because his chin is shaky and a good puncher can KO him.

But he surely is entertaining to watch!!!!!!!!

[MaFu MoFo]

Gamboa is going to make money. That's all that matters now.
