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 right.

"Rising Star" Yuriorkis Gamboa was shining bright when he beat Darling Jimenez from New York this Saturday in Primm, Nevada by unanimous decision after a ten-round-war. Though criticized for keeping his hands down giving Jimenez the chance to drop the Cuban in the fourth most spectators were pleased by Gamboa's exceptional speed, great ring movement and absolute dominance over a very experienced opponent.
