An impressive showing by the victor here, 2004 Olympic Gold-Medalist & former 2 division Titlist 🥇🇨🇺Yuriorkis Gamboa (30-2-0, 17KO) met with former 3-time Titlist 🇵🇷Rocky Martinez (30-4-3, 18KO) in center ring, and impressed by knocking out Martinez with an explosion in the second round.
At 37 years of age, Gamboa looked fresher than he had looked in recent years, and still possesses quick hands and feet, and still packs some serious power. With Martinez being a year younger than Gamboa, it was essentially built in as a crossroads match with two aging veterans hoping to prolong their prospects in the time that they have left in the sport, and Gamboa capitalized big time tonight, propelling him to broader options.
