Also featured is IBF #10 welterweight Richard Gutierrez (21-1) vs. Miguel Angel Vasquez (20-1, 9 KOs). In another notable bout, Gamboa's Arena Box-Promotion stablemate, 2004 gold medal winner and undefeated flyweight Yan Barthelemy (4-0) will see action against an opponent to be named. The undercard will feature local talent in light heavyweight Dyah Davis (11-1), and heavyweights Kasim Howard (6-0) and Erik Leander (1-0) in separate bouts.

    I looked this Edwards up on the site where they keep records, and he didn't fight all creampuffs either. The one loss was a 10-round decision to 18-0 Elio Rojas and in his last fight he beat Freddie Norwood, albeit by DQ. Seems pretty interesting, and i can't wait to find out how far this guy Gamboa is gonna go. Watching boxing all the time, i'm not easily impressed anymore, but Gamboa was the first fighter in a long time to really make my jaw drop when i saw him the first time against DeJesus. Still has a lot to learn in the pro game though.

    I remember seeing Edwards get shutout by Elio Rojas last year on Shobox. He's pretty limited. Gamboa should stop him.

    I'll be there too and I don't even care who he's fighting. I just want to see this guy fight in person and try to meet Teddy Atlas.

    Edwards is ranked because of a bunk win over a shot Norwood. Norwood was leading on all the cards when the fight was stopped. Norwood being Norwood, he threw down Edwards a few times, then threw 3 or 4 low blows before the ref finally called it.

    I doubt he fights anyone who's a remote threat on the 8th if he plans on fighting a ranked contender two weeks later.

    I hope the televised fights run short. I wouldn't mind seeing Kasim Howard again, who's in the walkout bout.
