A trio of young undefeated phenoms were in action in meaningful fights on Saturday night at Terrible's Primm Valley Casino Resorts in Primm, Nevada. In the main event, WBA #3/WBC #4 super featherweight Yuriokis Gamboa (10-0, 8 KOs), a 2004 Cuban Olympic gold medalist, won a ten round unanimous decision over game veteran Darling Jimenez (23-3-2, 14 KOs) to win the vacant WBC International super featherweight championship former held by Manny Pacquiao.

Yuriorkis Gamboa resembles a mini Mike Tyson and has a backstory that could have been lifted from a Hollywood script. In Primm, Nevada on Saturday, he didn't quite live up to his buzz as the best prospect ever, but the 2004 Olympic gold medalist delivered a ten-round beating to a very capable and motivated Darling Jimenez en route to a ten-round decision victory.
No Hall Of Fame For Gamboa, Not Yet

Yes, Yuriorkis Gamboa is a superb prospect, but the Cuban is not without his deficiencies, as viewers who tuned in to the headline bout on HBO's Boxing After Dark from Buffalo Bills Arena in Primm, Nevada are now well aware.
