Gamboa vs Ponce de Leon: Live Results and Round-by-Round Coverage

Tonight at 10:30 p.m. EDT, HBO has the main event from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, as top featherweights Yuriorkis Gamboa and Daniel Ponce de Leon officially end the latest Cold War between Top Rank and Golden Boy.
Gamboa (20-0, 16 KO) and Ponce de Leon (41-3, 34 KO) are drastically different fighters to be sure, but both have a habit of making for good fights, and Gamboa should be considered must-see TV no matter who he's fighting. The Cuban dynamo has left his fellow defectors of recent years in the dust, becoming a regular HBO headliner and one of the most exciting, explosive fighters in the sport, possibly knocking on the door of real stardom with just a couple more good wins.
That could start here, but Ponce de Leon won't be in Atlantic City to lie down and roll over, either. The Mexican slugger did lose his last fight on March 5, but he stepped up to 130 pounds to face top prospect Adrien Broner, and many felt he deserved the win in a tightly-contested 10-round battle.
Join us tonight as we wrap up a big day of live coverage.

it's what you have to bet to make back 100 or win in excess of it.
Boxing writer: "Iran, what are you going to do when you retire?"
Iran Barkley: "Rob your house"
by Matt Miller on Sep 10, 2011 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions
so -200 equals 2 to 1 favorite, for example

Iran Barkley: "Rob your house"

also if the number is a positive number
like +150, that means how much you will win if you wager $100
right, exactly

okay, so the bigger the – number, the bigger the favourite?
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
-875 is a big favourite right?
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
that means you have to bet $875 to win $100

yeah for example
vitali was -700 today
and gamboa is -1400 the last time i checked
i took under 6.5 rounds at +105
it was the only reasonable bet on the fight available
okay, and how is that decided?
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
if you're asking about the over/under
the line was 6.5 rounds
if it goes past 1:30 into round 7, the over wins
if it doesn’t go past 1:30 into round 7, the under wins
the over was -140 and the under was +105 when i got down
no, that’s actually the only thing i understand… I mean, how are those numbers decided? how is it decided that one person is a 14 to 1 favourite?
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
its just someones job
usually they work at the sportsbook
i see… well thanks for all the info… this definitely makes more sense now
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
i should point out
that their job is not to create a line that reflects “reality” but a line that will split the action 50 50 on either side
yeah its way too high
basically its saying that ponce de leon is expected to win once out of every fifteen times they fight… that doesnt sound right to me
what does being a -375 favorite mean?
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
I watched this fight live this afternoon
and I must say that’s the only way to watch a Kilt. fight. Midday, along with college football. That is not to undercut the clear superiority of the brothers, but to me, it’s like watching Alabama against, say, Austin Peay. Sure they have a chance in theory, and it’s fine to watch a sport I like, but there are no surprises here.
Wear something sexy to my funeral.
Current undercard fight ended with a horrible shot to the back of the head. Not sure if it’s a NC or a DQ yet.
Or…by TKO? Jesus Christ, I wish more people were seeing this so they could be as dismayed as I am. This will set female referees back awhile.

Feeling each other out. Gamboa looks so much stronger. We’ll see. PDL is poised, tight D. Still in testing out mode. Ponce looking OK, Gamboa maybe a little hesitant. YG not pushing it on offense at all. slow round.

Gamboa misses with a strong left. Gamboa much more offensive now. Much more. Gamboa giving PDL respect for sure, not the offensive whirlwind I might have thought. PDL gets the best of that exchange. Good exchange of left hands there that faovored the Cuban.

Gamboa seems more in control now of the fight to me. PDL is awkward and weird on offense, but Gamboa is landing more accurately. Gamboa with a clear skill advantage but PDL is holding his own pretty well, thought not quite winning. Odd rhythm to this fight.

Good hook from Gamboa 30 secs in. PDL kind of tricky, which I think is what is saving him. Gamboa puts em together well. Pressing now. PDL tries to fight back. Ref didn’t need to get in there like that methinks. Gamboa winning this round, but PDL is in it. Still, Gamboa landed more clean shots.

Lot of dancing around from Gamboa. Gamboa really confident but mostly dancing. Showing a lot of respect for PDL. Slowing down now. Hard right from Gamboa now. PDL doesn’t seem to have quite the skill level but he is giving it his all. I gave that last round to Gamboa.

Juanma also went life and death with Mtagwa and Gamboa blew him out in two, and Salido beat Juanma while Gamboa had no problem with him.

PDL is hesitant. Gamboa doesn’t want o punch in bunches. Maybe he is trying now.
Ref stops it and calls a cut on PDL an accidental headbutt. Doctor looking at it. Doctor stops it.
undramatic end to an undramatic fight. We are going to the cards and scoring the partial round.
I guess I have it 78-74 Gamboa. Whatever. Kind of a nothing fight, really.
