By Jason Kim: Yuriorkis Gamboa (21-0, 16 KO’s) says he’s done with the featherweight division and will be moving up in weight to chase Manny Pacquiao after Gamboa’s listless 8th round technical decision last Saturday night against Daniel Ponce De Leon (41-4, 34 KO’s) at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

A Gamboa Loss Good for Business?
By Chip Mitchell : As early as 2008, a winner-takes-all showdown between undefeated featherweights Juan Manuel Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa seemed inevitable. It was a 50/50 fight if there ever was one, and Bob Arum proclaimed that it could be built to be the “biggest featherweight fight of all time”.

Gamboa-Ponce De Leon: Just How Far Can Gamboa Go?
By Bradley Pearson: September 17th all eyes will be on boxing’s current superstar attraction Floyd Mayweather Jr, as he makes his long awaited ring return against Victor Ortiz. But precisely one week prior to this, attentions will turn to a champion who hopes to one day emulate Mayweather’s mainstream appeal- one of the sports future virtuoso candidates, unbeaten Cuban sensation Yuriorkis Gamboa.
Gamboa-Ponce De Leon takes place on September 10th
By Eric Thomas: With Juan Manuel Lopez’s defeats removing any chances of a fight between Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa (20-0, 16 KO’s) for the time being, Gamboa will instead turn his attention to former World Boxing Organization (WBO) super bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce De Leon (41-3, 34 KO’s) for a fight on September 10th at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Daniel Ponce de Leon was setup at Anaheim, California
By Francisco Hernandez: Several weeks ago I wrote an article pointing out how Daniel Ponce de Leon was being set up to be the stepping stone for Golden Boy Promotions new hype job Adrien Broner. Daniel Ponce de Leon was supposed to lose this fight no matter what. It is not surprising then that despite winning the fight last Saturday night at Anaheim, California, the judges awarded it to Adrien Broner.
Broner defeats De Leon, but doesn’t look like a future champion
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions might want to cut their losses while they still can with undefeated super featherweight Adrien Broner (20-0, 16 KO’s) because he doesn’t appear to have the talent to be a future champion and may have a hard time getting television air time unless he changes his style of fighting. Last Saturday night, the 21-year-old Broner defeated former super bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce De Leon (41-3, 34 KO’s) by a controversial 10 round unanimous decision by the scores of 96-94, 99-81 and 96-94 at the Honda Center, in Anaheim, California.
