Cuban amateur star, Yuriokis Gamboa and his team are going through
negotiations to face another former amateur star Elio Rojas, a source
close to the negotiations tells 15rounds.com. The fighters seem fine
with their purses, but small details are being negotiated.
After defecting from the Cuban national team before the Olympics, Gamboa
has been on a tear against some very stiff opposition. He currently
stands at 12-0 with 10 knockouts.
Elio Rojas recently defeated Hector Velazquez in a WBC Featherweight
title elimnator after suffering a very questionable defeat at the hands
of Gamaliel Diaz over a year ago. His record is 20-1 with 13 knockouts.
