Two premieres for super featherweight phenomenon Yuriorkis Gamboa: This Saturday (May 17th) the 2004 Olympic gold medallist will give his HBO debut on "Boxing After Dark"; on his way to the fight - that will actually take place in Primm, Nevada - 'Gambler' Gamboa (9-0-0, 8 kos) stopped over in Las Vegas for the first time.
No gamble with Gamboa: Cuban prospect is a sure-fire hit
The first time Oscar De La Hoya headlined an HBO card was when he fought for his first world title at junior lightweight in his 12th professional fight. The first time Floyd Mayweather headlined an HBO card came in his 18th professional fight, when he too fought for his first world title at junior lightweight.
Now, along comes another gifted junior lightweight, Yuriorkis Gamboa (9-0, 8 KOs), the explosive 2004 Olympic gold medalist from Cuba.
