Old fight against the current P4P #1 amateur Alexey Tischenko of Russia. GREAT ACTION>>> [YT]kPnKS_JE3qU&feature=related[/YT]
As do I, cleanly. Regardless, Yuriorkis is a beyond supernatural progenitor level genius god-King in the professional boxing world and will soon be annointed and have complete and utter control just like the gentleman in my avatar does now in Showtime's best series ever.
The thing that really impressed me in this fight is that this was straight after Gamboa went from Flyweight to Featherweight. It's insane that a fighter can go up 2 divisions (amateur divisions) and clearly beat the No.1 amateur in the world. Gamboa's handspeed in this fight was insane aswell.
the russian kid also looked good. i hope he turns pro. Gamboa had a 2 year age advantage, plus the style in wich they fought favored the more explosive gamboa, the russian is more technical fighter
Alexey (the Russian) only got beaten for the first time in about 4 years at last year's world titles in Chicago, against the English Frankie Gavin (def medal contention at Beijing :good ). But yeah I thought Gamboa took this one too. It's hard to score though as there was so much activity and did get quite messy at some points. Good to see so much agression in an am-fight- which can sometimes be too tactical and dull
gamboa was the aggressive fighter, initiated a lot of flurries, yep it is hard to score. The russian kid did pretty good..they both look like they're on the same level. The russian was fast but gamboa was faster
Tischenko is a a great boxer-puncher, but i don't think he plans on turning pro. There's alot of money to be made as an amateur in Russia.
