Yuriorkis Gamboa beats Darling Jimenez
Yuriorkis Gamboa beat Darling Jimenez to win the vacant WBC international super featherweight championship. “El Ciclon de Guantanamo” dominated most of the fight but was down in the fourth when Jimenez caught him with a left.
ARENA-CEO Ahmet ?ner: “Gamboa is a complete fighter but tonight I was not happy with his performance. He was a little bit too arrogant and gave me a hard time. You must not forget that it was only his 10th pro-fight though. He has got to improve his defence but he will definitely be world champion one day. After all I am glad that he had to go the distance. That was an important experience for him.”
James Kirkland won the vacant NABO championship by stopping Eromosele Albert by t.k.o. in the 1st. Albert came back to his feet after a bad first knockdown but didn’t recover from it. After the second knockdown referee Joe Cortez stopped the bout immediately after only 66 seconds.
