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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!!

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.

Great ko, excellent vid.

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

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.

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

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

this is Gamboa's sweetest punch.

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

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

does friday night fights still even come on

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

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.

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

segurrrrisimo saludos brother

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.

DuquesneCubanisimooo, que dia es la pelea?

is al related to bob seager?

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?

quien tiro la tiza?

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

@juniorgerrard09 when is that fight?

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

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

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.

the other guy folded up like a piece of paper lmaooo hahah

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

he did bro, he did

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.

man we all are waiting for the same

Devastating kayo! Gamboa is one immensely gifted fighter.

3:53 OWNED

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Damn, Seegar got folded up like an accordion!

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.

5:57 Epic Drunk Stand !!!!!!!!!!!

SUPERB!!!

jesus! is seeger still alive?

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.

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.

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

gamboa vs vazquez?

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.

gamboa vs gary russell jr.! plz

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

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.

@mrbgnwo what do you mean hold what?

are they even in the sam e weight?

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.

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

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

you are lookin at the future

yes he was

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

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

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...

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

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

yo lo veo super potente como nosotros los guantanameros ha!!, ese es el tipo.

Odlanier solis is fighting on Oct/11 against a guy named Chaucey Welliver.

somethin tells me in the future he will be the best pound for pound fighter and Gamboa is a great fighter and is ruthless like damn he fuckin tough he dunt play around

Es gratis si tienes HBO. Arriba Gamboa!!!!

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,,,

i thought i was the only one who notice that haha

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

@5:32...teddy atlas says BALBOA LOL

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

gamboa has unbeleivable speed but his chin needs alot of work

@koolxjames3 not yet, gamboa stil need more exp

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

mi jente Rigondeaux pelea el 22 de mayo junto a Lara en ESPN Rigondeaux va hacer su debut profesional

si, yo escuche algo de eso tambien

Señores, pongan pausa en 3:53,, Thomas con la guardia baja y derechazo de Gamboa en pleno rostro.

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

asere a duquesne parece que le paso lo mismo porque no lo veo aqui tampoco

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?

Eso de que fue un codazo me pone tranquilo, porque cuando yo lo vi me asuste, yo pensaba que lo habia encentrao, pero si fue un codazo es trampa. Arriba Gamboa, la verdad que es un caballo.

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

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

Gamboa is the only boxer i know that wears his trunks below his belly button.

Damn gamboa,you're good big dog. Man,dile a tu agente que te busque mejor competencia loco.

This Gamboa kid is dynamite!! can't wait to see him fight Juanma Lopez!!

Caballero, no se si se dieron cuenta pero antes de la pelea estaban diciendo los comentaristas que por poco la suspenden porque Gamboa tenia el pulso muy bajo y no se sentia bien, pero asi y todo se lo comio vivo. Yo, de por si lo vi medio decaido, como que no estaba 100%.

@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?

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

Reminds me a bit of the early Shane Mosley.

Si. Esta ya confirmado en Boxrec, la pelea es contra Marcos Ramirez el 4 de Octubre. Pero ese tipo fue el que se echo pa' atras la otra vez que iba a pelear con el. Vamos a ver si esta vez no se apendeja. Gamboa #1.
