Tonight at 9:45 pm EDT on HBO Boxing After Dark, Yuriorkis Gamboa looks to stop the insanity befalling his fellow Cubans in recent weeks, as he takes on Mexico's Jorge Solis in the featherweight main event.
The arguably more interesting fight of the night is the co-feature, as featherweight late stage prospects Mikey Garcia and Matt Remillard do battle in a 10-round bout.
You can check out our full preview from earlier this week, but here are a couple of snips.
Gamboa-Solis:
I get why people love Gamboa. At times, he's a destructive force in the ring. He has unbelievable natural athleticism and ability, and he combines that with a strong boxing IQ. It's rare you get both. He has also adapted beautifully to the pro game, which some of his Cuban counterparts fail to do after they've had the amateur system drilled into their brains for so long. ... Solis is a good fighter. So was Salido, so was Barros. I hope a different fate awaits Solis, though. I hope we see the Yuriorkis Gamboa that got everyone excited in the first place, and not the guy just there to get his W and await the next fight. And I hope Max Kellerman brings two pair of pants.
Garcia-Remillard:
[Garcia's] TV breakout came on the undercard of the Soto-Antillon barnburner in December, when he shredded tricky and frustrating Canadian Olivier Lontchi, knocking him out in the fifth round. The Lontchi fight showed Garcia at a to-date career best. He was just locked in offensively, took what Lontchi gave him, and made the most of it repeatedly. It was a really impressive performance for a young fighter against a savvy and in many ways downright annoying opponent. Lontchi is no great shakes, but his skill set is built to bother prospects, and Garcia just took him apart, doing far better than Juan Manuel Lopez did in 2009 against Lontchi. ... [Remillard] has not faced the same level of competition that Garcia has, though. Nicknamed "Sharp Shooter," the best win on his sheet might be veteran Mauricio Pastrana, which was a six-round decision win back in 2008, long after Pastrana was a contender. I don't mean this to offend any of our readers in the northeastern United States, but I think it's fair to say that the prospects out of that region in recent years often don't hold up to scrutiny once the time has come to find out what's what and stop feeding on the chum. Is Remillard another overhyped-via-moderate hype New Englander, or is he the real deal?
Join us tonight for coverage and talkin' about boxing. We might even learn something, too.

Gamboa needs to put on a show tonight. I know Solis is good and all, but with all the amazing performances that’ve been happening recently, Gamboa needs to blast him out of the ring if he wants to be amongst the elite.
Solis is not exactly that easy to blast away

Garcia-Remillard R1
Why does Remillard wear those heinous Manfredo-style trunks? Is that a northeast thing? Both guys jabbing to start, Garcia seems a bit more relaxed to start. He’s shooting some left hooks from distance. Right to the body by Remillard, but then Garcia SPRINGS INTO ACTION! Remillard covering up as Garcia bangs away at the guard! Remillard trapped on the ropes, doesn’t hold, but gets out without taking huge damage. Remillard fires an uppercut inside, doesn’t get there. Garcia pumping a jab out, keeping Remillard at bay. Remillard misses a right, Garcia’s does not miss. Body shot by Remillard again. Good opening round.

Garcia-Remillard R2
It might just be how they look naturally, but Garcia simply looks far more confident coming out of the corner for the second round. But then Garcia has permanent bitter beer face, like he’s just looking for an ass to kick all the time.
Remillard drills the body again, this time with a left hook. Mikey is staying straight up and waiting for his shots, though. He just gives the appearance of being in control of this fight, while Remillard so far looks like he’s constantly in his own head. But Garcia’s there to be hit, too. Remillard with a right, then a left hook to the body. Garcia fires back with a combination. Remillard fires another overhand right, that one short. BIG right by Remillard, JUST barely misses being a home run punch. Boy that was close – a glancing shot that could have been a huge blow. It was there. Garcia eats another right. That right hand is definitely there for Remillard. Now some good body work. BIG right by Remillard.
We’ve got a fight, folks.

Garcia-Remillard R3
Robert tells Mikey that he has to be meaner. Garcia throwing mean to start the round, but Remillard is still doing a pretty good job not getting nailed totally clean. Two good body shots by Remillard. Now he goes back to blocking most of Garcia’s punches. 1-2 by Remillard, but Garcia’s comes back and was a lot better. Bit of a cuffing right from Garcia. Back to the body again for Remillard. Now they get in the trenches. Nice left uppercut rips the guard of Remillard. Remillard still pressing, but Garcia is starting to really take the momentum hard. Time called to replace Garcia’s mouthpiece, then we’re back to action. Garcia closes the round nicely.

Garcia-Remillard R4
OK NICK! I really disagree with Lederman giving Garcia the second round, but hey.
First minute of this round is Remillard looking for a way in, not finding much by way of an open door. Garcia looking for power shots as he’s all but abandoned a real jab, and he’s also head-hunting in a major way. Maybe he’ll look for body shots in the middle rounds. Remillard just can’t get it going offensively this round at all. Mostly landing pitty-patty shots. Now he goes to the body, but Garcia comes back at him immediately.

Garcia-Remillard R5
Garcia starting to really discourage Remillard, who isn’t willing to sell out on power shots as he was earlier. Roy says that “people don’t understand” that Garcia is a good puncher. I…disagree. I think people understand that quite well. Roy musta forgot. Garcia has taken full control of this fight the last two rounds. Remillard is looking more and more like he’s uncomfortable with the pace and style of this fight. He gets nothing done this round.

Garcia waiting a little more this round, not as aggressive, maybe taking a half a breather. Remillard trying to come down the middle, with “eh” results. Garcia with a hook to the body. Three hooks by Garcia, really just potshots. But he’s pressing the action again and making Remillard look outclassed.

Lederman goes on one of his tangents about this fight being over and the crowd not giving a crap. “FUH GOD’S SAKE!” I love Harold. I really can’t imagine an HBO fight without him.
Remillard has basically fallen out of this fight. He’s not near Garcia’s league and it’s showing in a big way. Remillard is, unfortunately, showing exactly what I expected. He’s well-schooled, has some ability, but doesn’t look like a big league player. Garcia is the real deal as a potential contender. Remillard isn’t. It’s really just that simple.

Mikey still rather easily outclassing Remillard, who has checked out mentally and isn’t looking to win this fight anymore. Kellerman’s take on Garcia not having much passion is spot-on, in my estimation. He’s a very talented fighter with major league power, but he doesn’t have that extra something that you get from a guy like stablemate Brandon Rios. Garcia gets Remillard on the run at the end of the round.

Garcia-Remillard R9
Remillard looks a little more peppy early in the round, but it doesn’t last once Garcia starts coming back at him. Remillard with a clean right hand, but Garcia comes back and all but erases it. Remillard coming in, Garcia again backs him off, and DOWN GOES REMILLARD! First time on the mat as a professional. Probably should have taken more time. Remillard holds him for dear life and won’t let go. 20 seconds left, Garcia looking for the finish. Remillard on the ropes, doing what he can to block, but this has gotten nasty BIG LEFT HOOK AND REMILLARD IS DOWN AGAIN! He’s up and looks bad, but the round ends.

Cuffing blow, but that’s a push as Remillard falls. He’s exhausted and hurting, and bless the kid, he’s really trying to fight this round. He’s just in trouble out there. Garcia knocks him back on a left hook to the glove. Garcia throwing away with Remillard on the ropes, and the ref is looking in long. Remillard fires back with a big right hand. DOWN GOES REMILLARD AFTER THAT ON ANOTHER LEFT! They need to stop this. It’s well in the bag. They’re going to let him keep fighting. Garcia firing, firing, firing. Remillard THROWS BACK! Hey, don’t question the kid’s guts. He’s got that in spades.

If I were ranking alphabet titles, all the way across the sport, by order of how seriously I can possibly take them, that one’s below a good amount of “interim” belts and almost all the “super” and “regular” belts. He got that for beating Miki Rodriguez. That would be like if Yuriorkis Gamboa got a “world title” for that time he beat Darling Jimenez. Except Jimenez is better than Rodriguez.

Is that fuchsia trim on Solis’ trunks? I like when guys show some color in boxing. This is show business! Even if it’s a gaudy ass color like fuchsia. Although that might not really be fuchsia. FUCHSIA!!
Oh God, I forgot about the hilarious faces Solis tends to make.
Gamboa outside and waiting. Solis comes in with an awkward two punch combo. Now Gamboa showing off his speed. There are a LOT of empty seats across from the hard camera for this fight. Must have been Remillard tickets. On the plus side, some guys have LOUNGIN’ room to talk on their cell phones.

Gamboa-Solis R2
RIGHT HAND AND DOWN. GOES. SOLIS. That’s the explosive Gamboa. Solis up and he’ll fight on. Gamboa is far, far too fast for Solis. Left hand hurts Solis, Gamboa tearing away in the corner. He wants to throw tonight. Gamboa just firing cyclone shots. Not landing a ton, but Solis can’t do anything but bend over and try to duck. Gamboa goes low on a body shot as he starts another charge, which gets the referee to break them up. Chopping right to the back of the head, and ruled a knockdown. That didn’t look like a knockdown to me, but there it is. We fight on again.
Gamboa with a HUGE right that stuns Solis. Jorge can’t do anything with this style. He just stands there, his defense leaking. He’s a fine fighter, but tailor made for Gamboa when Gamboa fights like this.
Gamboa 10-7 (I’d have called that 10-7 even without the second iffy KD)

Gamboa-Solis R3
Gamboa rips to the body again. He has to be careful since he keeps almost going low or actually going low on those, on account of Solis is so much taller than him. Gamboa warned again for a short behind the head. Max, quite hilariously, immediately rushes to Gamboa’s defense by saying, I shit you not, “Kinda! Kinda! But…” Calm down, Max.
Gamboa lays back a bit more this round, but isn’t taking it easy. He’s just too fast and too good for Solis. Solis has nothing in his arsenal that suggests he can get into this fight, IMO. Not if Gamboa doesn’t let him. HUGE SHOT AND DOWN GOES SOLIS! NASTY! JUST NASTY! Solis is on bad feet and hurt, busted open a bit, wobbles back to his corner.

Gamboa-Solis R4
RIGHT HAND AND SOLIS IS DOWN AGAIN!
This is highlight reel shit here. No joke. Everything “bad” I said about Gamboa the other day…fuck, did he READ that? Is he proving a point here? This is crazy. And Gamboa firing away with insane fire, Solis down again, and IT IS OVER!
Yuriorkis Gamboa TKO-4
Mother fucker.

just imagine for a second if Donaire was in this weight class… Donaire vs. Gamboa… fuck, that gives me the giggles just thinking about it
I will not buy any PPV promoted by Bob Arum.
Could happen some day
But not now with Donaire moving to GB

See what I mean about overrating a fighter. Donaire is good but I don’t think he would take a flush shot from Gamboa well

I don’t like the Cuban boxers…too cocky, too arrogant by half, and lots of time they are overr hyped….BUT…this kid is damn good. Obviously.

I’m working on a big feature on the current Cuban guys and in a lot of cases I agree. But if someone is going to be cocky, this guy can back it up at least.

Nothing wrong with cockiness. Most great fighters are. Cocky fighters who can back it up are a joy to watch

I would be 0.4% surprised if Gamboa’s next fight is Remillard. I’m not kidding.

He was comparing Pacquiao to Gamboa — not just saying “Pacquiao doesn’t hit hard” like Oscar did. Which Oscar also fucked up on once he decided he should get on that “Manny is on steroids” kick.
