Yuriorkis Gamboa the Cuban superstar (9-0, 8 kos) is fighting Darling Jimenez (23-2-2, 14 kos) for the vacant WBC international championship in Primm, Nevada this Saturday on HBO in a 12-round 130 bout. The 2004 Olympic gold medallist from Cuba with super speed and power, is fighting on HBO for the first time. Gamboa's promter Ahmet Öner and his ARENA Box-Promotion have done a great job with Gamboa and this is his step-up fight against a NY Gloves champion. Gamboa is a -800 boxing betting favorite at SBGglobal.com in Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Darling Jimenez.

If Gamboa beats Jimenez – which I am pretty confident he will – this might be the beginning of a long and successful relationship. The future starts now!” Hopefully we can present all three 2004 Olympic gold medallists – Gamboa, Solis and Yan Barthelemy – on the same card then.” At HBO's meeting Öner grabbed the chance to talk to former world heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis who will be announcing the fight. “You got some very exciting prospects”, said Lewis. “I can’t wait to see Gamboa and I also want to take a look at your heavyweight Solis. I hear he’s the next big think. Those exceptional talents are the future of the sport.” Gamboa is a physically imposing explosive hot shot but Jimenez is a very good little fighter. This should be a helluva a fight for the viewers at home. Solis and Barthelemy are also mustard. This is a tough group of well-schooled boxers from the ARENA Box-Promotion faction.
