【2008.07.18】Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Al Seeger

[@soulinthewall77]

Gamboa is amazing--incredible speed, power, footwork--almost the complete package. I hope this guy goes to the top.

[@dhmb2]

100% agree. He gives just as much as he needs to give! The best boxer out there right now!

[@jonvdw]

If he can keep his feet on the ground, definetely a future champion and hall of famer. One of the most exciting prospects in a long, long time. All the skills, speed and 1 punch knockout power any fighter could ever dream of.

[@etimsam]

cubaa456, many thanks for this post. You're doin a great job, man. I didn't think I'd see the full fight until I watch it on tsn the following week, here in Ontario, Canada. We gotta watch out for this kid. He's certainly a sensation. The way he dispossed of Al seeger in a single round has a lot to say about his punching power. I agree that Al seeger has lost the last three fights. But it took the big punching Ponce de leon 8 rounds to put him away. Gamboa did it in 1!!

[@koolaidandcereal]

Damn, as soon as he hit him he knew that he was out cold. He just walked away like it was nothing. Gamboa is a BEAST!!! I hope Gamboa and Juanma meet, but I'd like for Gamboa to have a couple more fights first just to get more ring experience. I thought Juanma was a beast, but the more I watch Gamboa, the more I learn towards him. Something about his punches that look like they'll be more effective than Juanma's. They're quick, and powerful. There's so much control in his punches, it's amazing.

[@IRLangmaid25]

I remember seeing that on Five here in the UK and I was instantly thought WOW!! this guy is amazing I have to keep an eye out for him, because I could just tell he has that something special about him.

[@damit305]

@Warchild203813 I'm sorry... are you opining this after the Juanma beatdown??

[@yusings]

Yuriorkis Gamboa Toledano (born December 23, 1981) is a Cuban professional boxer who, as an amateur boxer, won an Olympic gold medal in the flyweight division at the 2004 Summer Olympics and the current WBA "Regular" Featherweight Champion.Gamboa's younger brother is boxer Yoelvis Gamboa.

[@sourmuffins7]

Wow, this guy is going to go far. I'm going to keep track of this lad.

[@tikocal]

I'm a fan of boxing and both boxers and this fight should take place because this is what the sport needs. A great current pound 4 pound veteran champion from the Philippines ...but here comes this young confident kid from Cuba who had nothing now leaving a path of destruction against his foes unlike any other.

[@70gabino]

Thanks for pointing that out! I almost choked on my beer!

[@CarlesX7]

Great ko, excellent vid.

[@cantasonero]

gracias una vez mas ng saludos para el leon y el duque estamos en contacto

[@damit305]

Actually, Gamboa has technically been down twice. First time in his US debut (which i was at ringside at the Hollywood Hardrock casino) vs Adailton De Jesus, then against Darling Jimenez. Either way, they both were very controversial knock downs.

[@questguy]

if this kid goes down in weight to 122,that would be the weight class to watch in my opinion with de leon, lopez, molitor, vasquez and marquez the class is jam packed with great talents

[@NickyQ]

The four dudes in suits at 4:00 won a lot of money. LOL.

[@cantasonero]

gracias mi hermano ,del carajo aqui en mexico no sale na de eso ,no hay videos?

[@cantasonero]

segurrrrisimo saludos brother

[@ShroomStomper]

hes gonna be big he has all the traits of bein a champion

[@ldiddynyc]

if you want to talk current events, not 10 months ago, then let's go. I didn't know much about Gamboa. he's pretty freaking awesome and im happy him and his boy lara and rigond are making it big. didn't know much about cuban boxing before. Lara is my fave. gamboa should drop weight class to reign well. juanma is the man right now and he's going to the 126 category. gamboa has a chance but needs more movement, hands up, and switching (southpaw/righthanded) to get punches in on Juanma.

[@Ivan1781]

does friday night fights still even come on

[@ldiddynyc]

you're right, that's why they got him seeger to fight and not somebody else. they have to bring him up right or else things may/or may not turn out bad for him. he's still a little short for his weight and can get caught out of range. he drops his hands all the time.etc

[@DoLaYGG]

Wow gamboa strength was Wow.. I would like to see Chris John Vs Gamboa,it might be very2 good match..

[@TheMorning_Son]

what about andre berto is he in the same weight as gamboa

[@marianao22]

el orgullo de mi cuba viva el ciclon gamboa dios te cuide pasano bendiciones canpeon

[@etherealpictures]

Devastating kayo! Gamboa is one immensely gifted fighter.

[@ScorpionYank37]

Al Seeger is still seeing stars after that punch. Yuriorkis Gamboa said, "GRAB THIS!"

[@ldiddynyc]

I'm sure there are some beasts out there in the island. alot of them have weight to come in as heavyweight, not many hispanics have that luck.

[@jesustriales]

DuquesneCubanisimooo, que dia es la pelea?

[@tanloco1000]

@koolxjames3 not yet, gamboa stil need more exp

[@damaster59]

gamboa is fucking awesome. this kid is just incredible, the speed and accuracy and footowork, just beautiful. really makes the sweet science very sweet indeed.

[@ldiddynyc]

i just seen guillermo in two fights here on youtube. ese moreno pega :o very nice. he beat that Yan lui (el chino) not easy to beat that guy. rigondeaux tiene una pegada tremenda.

[@bumbana]

wens this guys next fyt? cuando pelea otra ves? este no juego le dio su palo CUBAAAAAA

[@puertorricane]

cant wait till summer juanma vs gamboa is a big fight and anything can happen

[@enriqueo81]

this is Gamboa's sweetest punch.

[@Coquitus]

You gotta remember that boxers always fight below there natural weight so they can have a better chance at beating opponents.....then they gradualy move up. In the future i see gamboa going up to 135 and 140....and if after that hes as good as now or better, people better watchout.

[@Jecxbox]

He jumped up in the air celebrating at the same exact moment that that final KO punch landed. Cat like celebration reflexes lol

[@azaproc]

is al related to bob seager?

[@4fingers100]

i hope the men that sorrounded gamboa will not rush to the money coz usually things will go wrong when that happens. gamboa is still young don't rush him into big fights but by that said i would like to see him fight Juanma or donaire.

[@whoodkid]

power and explosiveness.might not be perfect but will only get more awesome with time

[@me1570]

@juniorgerrard09 when is that fight?

[@lamilinson07]

Es un salvaje Gamboa ese ba a llegar muy lejos y va a ser lloral a muchos k rapidez. Y los puñetazo k tira ahí k agararle miedo a ese cubano i love

[@keytrixz]

Gamboa reminds me of a young tyson. This kid will be the next big thing in boxing. I don't think he will make it to the welterweight to catch the ones who are at the top at the moment. When that day happens, those welterweights at the top right now would be over the hill.

[@dfolegna]

Ray Leonard did the same until he fought Benitez for the title fight. I don't endorse him ( I don't like his career ) but he became famous also for that kind of flashy boxing.

[@tmh1717]

gamboa vs gary russell jr.! plz

[@cantasonero]

coñoo yo dije al leon le paso algo,porq te mande unos mensajes y no tenia respuesta,q bueno q estes de vuelta ,porq es q borran las cuentas bro?

[@Bleekcastle]

I hate it when fighters hold too much. But I guess when fighters hold it's only because they know they're not on your level. Loved it when Gamboa dropped him.

[@supersomebody101]

best boxer in the game...mayweather and pacman should run and retire quick before they face gamboa. this kid will never lose!!!

[@hippiegirl25]

i know just meant that as far as been a pro he just a rookie and he already that good and i know he had sumtin like 400 ametur fights but pro is different thanks bring on lopez

[@salao000]

quien tiro la tiza?

[@ucz24badest]

good fighter going to be a great fighter depending on how he fights wen he is put to the test but i like him....

[@dlc85007]

@mrbgnwo what do you mean hold what?

[@thesoccerboy20]

@SnakeLadyENY420 the whole weight class has boxers like that there are few featherweigts with skill any more

[@KTF0]

You can see Joel Casamayor jumping for joy @ 3:53.

[@damit305]

@Warchild203813 Salido had no distractions bf facing Lopez? Salido traveled a couple of thousand miles to fight Juanma in his backyard in PR. But poor Juanma had distractions. Juanma will get blown by Salido in a rematch.

[@damit305]

Guillermo will leave the island when he gets a chance. Lara se volbio a escapar, Rigondeaux will follow... it's just a matter of time

[@salao000]

man we all are waiting for the same

[@Orisha1990]

Because of his lack of defense he has found himself down on his butt once on a lucky shot in an unbalanced pose due to his constant movement this is always a risk but he has never been hurt this man Gamboa sprung up and brought hell with him and unleashed it onto his opponents face he is the best prospect in boxing and a future no contest world champion.Watch carefully seegers fight and you will see hes defense has improved.Did i mention he fought with a wrist injury on that fight he was downed?

[@Robertikin537]

quien gano entre Janma y Gamboa? si alguien vio la pelea

[@TheMorning_Son]

@keytrixz hes more roy jones and also sergio martinez

[@krystlechampagne]

ah mi im de dios en el amor con este tipo él un combatiente tan bueno

[@tanloco1000]

ill tell you exactly who, Guillermo Rivoundaux... :D

[@ldiddynyc]

al de nosotros le fue mal este fin de semana (Cotto). suerte a Gamboa en su carrera.

[@ELHURACAN58]

PUR- Juanma Lopez MEX- Abner Mares CUBA- Yuriorkis Gamboa Quien dice que el boxeo se esta acabando?

[@damit305]

@camon211 I love him too. I won't make an arguement and sound rhetorical by saying Gamboa has fought "trash" cause for the most part so has Juanma Lopez. Gamboa KO's Lopez bf Rd7

[@ldiddynyc]

haha i'm hispanic. it doesn't matter what race i am. realistic to the game. known about it for 12+ years.

[@rhymxs2007]

pero en que año bro yo comence en 1994 y termine en el 97 septimo 6 a noveno 6

[@SanDiegoOfficial]

are they even in the sam e weight?

[@CeeRay78]

He's the shit, he could get in with the lightweights and some welterweights, he like small TYSON to the fullest, he's blessed fa sho...

[@borinquenlomejor]

tienes toda la razon Juanma se esta descubriendo demasiado Juanma no era asi...pero juanma a demostrado corazon tambien,, se que contra Mtawa se vio muy mal eso le pasa a un boxiador que no le da merito al otro,,, te voy a decir algo Gamboa esta Kbron,, buenisimo lo unico es que seria otro tipo de pelea..los estilos de los boxiadores hacen la pelea y cambia mucho,,Tu no oistes a Gamboa hablando que no se puede comparar a Juanma con Gamboa,,, si tu algun dia guantiastes sabras el significado,,,

[@badcoochie]

That much power in featherwieght, imagine if gamboa was a heavyweight.

[@santanaincubus]

3:53 OWNED

[@muizzmc]

thnk u gamboa and amir khan are the way forward for boxing.... gamboa will knock any1 out in his divison and khan will slowly increase 2 become the best with the speed defence and movement

[@salao000]

si, yo escuche algo de eso tambien

[@MASSIVE100]

I know the fight promoters are salivating for the day he and pacquio bump heads, but gamboa has to get his rank up

[@damit305]

Opinion respected. Good luck to you and your family. BTW you mean romanticism.

[@ATAKAN-23]

AHMET ÖNER is young and he knows who is the boxer of the future!! And also he is the godfather of hamburg ;-))

[@Elterraplanista]

there will be no stopping him cause he is from cuba he aint gonna let no1 beat him

[@aquarius0125ful]

@thesoccerboy20 y shouldn't i?he's a living legend!7 division world champion, 3 time fighter of the year, fighter of the decade, hall of famer, US associated press fighter of the year, 25th most influential boxing figure of all time, the only boxer with three linear championships- now tell me, how can't he be a LEGEND?

[@salao000]

[@scheissdreckhass]

jesus! is seeger still alive?

[@aquarius0125ful]

There will only be one manny pacquiao but gamboa may be at least as good as him sumday. he has the power, speed and boxing skiills.but it will be a long way for gamboa to be the best lb 4 lb someday.he's got to work more on his foot movement though..a solid camp 4 ds boxer will give him more opportunities in the future.in 2yrs time, he will be among the best,as long as he has a solid camp with him.good luck to his fight wd lopez , if it happens, 4 sure he will win by KO...

[@alexsep82]

he did bro, he did

[@damit305]

Then start promoting Gamboa Vs Pacquiao, or are the Filipinos scared?

[@calymero]

Gamboa is like a Rocket. I´ve seen him live.

[@JMBedolla]

gamboa vs vazquez?

[@TimeSplittersChimp]

Isn't that white guy with all the badges on his hat in Mayweather's corner as well ?

[@MARRERO006]

gamboa lo mejor que ahi CUBA PARRIBA NADIE PUEDE CON ESTE

[@damit305]

@Warchild203813 Yes there will be a rematch with Salido, those are Bob Arum's plans for Juanma but after Salido defends his title in Mexico first. Bro I don't want to spoil it for you and all the Juanma fans, but Salido is going to whoop that ass again . I'm sure you've heard of a saying "styles make fights" well lets just say this applies 100 percent here. Don't lose your college money on this one.

[@jandry12]
