"El Ciclon" recovers from knockdown to blow away Ramirez
The Gamboa-Mania continues! In his second appearance at HBO's Boxing After Dark Yuriorkis Gamboa once more thrilled the audience with a spectacular knockout victory over previously unbeaten Marcos Ramirez (now 25-1, 16 kos).
"El Ciclon de Guantanamo" was knocked down by an elbow shot in the first round. Gamboa recovered quickly and came back to overwhelm Ramirez with his enormous speed and irresistible power, sending his opponent to the canvas with a stunning uppercut before finishing him off after 1:41 minute in the second.
"I was not really hurt by the knockdown", said Gamboa after the fight. "I knew that I would beat Ramirez. I feel great and I want to go on to become champion of the world."
It was Gamboa's 12th win in his 12th pro-fight including 10 knockouts. "El Ciclon" was rated on #3 (WBA), #4 (WBC) and #5 (WBO) in the world rankings before the fight. Now a title shot could be next...
