Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-12-19, pretty good fight between Yuriorkis Gamboa and Hylon Williams Jr: it gets three stars.The 2004 Olympic flyweight gold medalist and former IBF and Wba Fw champion Yuriorkis Gamboa entered this fight with a pro boxing record of 24-1-0 (17 knockouts) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since November 15, 2014 when he defeated Joel Montes de Oca (=Gamboa vs Montes de Oca); before this bout he had lost to Terence Crawford (=Crawford vs Gamboa).
His opponent, Hylon Williams Jr, has a record of 16-1-1 (3 knockouts) and he suffered his only loss in 2012 when he faced Rances Barthelemy. After this bout he has fought just twice winning over John Willoughby and drawing with Jason Litzau. Gamboa vs Williams Jr is on the undercard of Bryant Jennings vs Luis Ortiz.

Not so sure about this fight.
Yes Gamboa control fight but he was fighting a guy with 3 KO’s.
Williams reminds me of Malinnagi. Good but no power.
My nephew is
Video with no sound and 4 full rounds missing. However, the result looks OK to me since I saw Gamboa winning at least 4 of the last rounds moving very fast all around the ring and connecting the best punches in this portion.
