Yuriorkis Gamboa

WBA Featherweight Titleholder 19 0 (15) Last Year s Ranking: 79 Status Report: In the course of 12 months Gamboa went from gifted but amateurish prospect to one of the WBA s 6,712 titleholders, so there s real progress there. How d he do it? A new trainer and a bit more discipline led him to wins over Rogers Mtagwa (KO 2), Jonathan Victor Barros (W 12) and the very good Orlando Salido (W 12). Future: Gamboa is a special talent. He and JuanMa are going to make beautiful music together someday.
