Yuriorkis Gamboa Scores A Vicious First Round KO

by Michael Sedor on July 19th, 2008

Yesterday’s ESPN2 Friday Night Fights was hit with two ferocious displays of power. The first was an electricity outage at the bouts’ venue — the wonderful Terrible’s Casino complex in Primm, Nevada — the second was a vicious knockout by Cuban featherweight Yuriorkis Gamboa.

Gamboa’s first round KO of Al Seeger reminded us once again why Yuriorkis may well be boxing’s top prospect. Even though it only lasted two minutes and change El Ciclon de Guantánamo looked demonstratively better than his last fight, a ten round decision against Darling Jimenez.

In the Jimenez fight Gamboa was all flash, fought with his hands down, and looked very unprofessional. As a result his trainer was promptly dismissed. The change appears to have paid off; yesterday Gamboa was business-like and calmly efficient. Below is the video of his terrific KO.
