Introducing Yuriorkis Gamboa

Tonight's tremendous card on HBO's Boxing After Dark (keep reading, you'll like it!) features quite possibly the most exciting young fighter in all of boxing. Yuriorkis Gamboa is a 26 year-old Cuban defector who is already 9-0 (8 KO's) since turning professional last April instead of attempting to defend his gold medal in Beijing. What has boxing lovers going nuts over the fighter isn't his record or pedigree, but his rare mix of speed, skill, power, and bravado. Continue after the jump for some video evidence via Ring Report which just finished celebrating Yuriokis Gamboa Week.

Tonight Gamboa takes on another legitimate test in Darling Jimenez, but be sure to catch the rest of the card. Each bout has the potential to be special.

Yuriorkis Gamboa = Mike Tyson + Roy Jones + Floyd Mayweather
