Castellanos Drops Gamboa Twice, Makes Him Quit After Seventh

•May 5, 2017

LAS VEGAS – Yuriorkis Gamboa can’t use rust or a long layoff as an excuse for this. Less than two months after a lackluster performance in his return from a 14-month layoff, Mexico’s Robinson Castellanos stopped Gamboa after the seventh round of their nationally televised fight Friday night. Castellanos floored Gamboa once apiece in the third and fourth rounds and appeared to hurt the former three-division champion more than once in the seventh round at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
