And everyone's favorite since Friday Night Fights a couple weeks ago, Yuriorkis Gamboa is also scheduled to fight.

No venue or opponents have been chosen yet but it makes me want to watch it right freaking now

Can't wait to see Gamboa again! Any word on who he's fighting? I hope it's a decent opponent. Wonder if Norwood is ready yet? I doubt he ever will be!

Can't wait to see Gamboa again. I know its very early to say this but I think he'll be on top of the sport in a few years, just an incredible talent

I agree... a superstar in the making!

Solis seems to have weight issues but Gamboa is freaking incredible.

It's amazing, I remember the day they defected it barely made headlines and I didn't hear anything else for like 2 weeks but I had a feeling it would be a HUGE event.

After seeing Gamboa perform the way he did, that seems to be correct. Can not wait for this one.

Odlanier does seem to enjoy food......a lot of food. I hope he gets set straight in the years and months to come because we need GOOD depth in the heavyweight division and not more David Tua's, Kirk Johnson's, and James Toney's!

Gamboa is a beast....I wish he had been around when Mayweather Jr was coming up!

I've not seen Gamboa, what weight is he?

Angulo - Gutierrez is going to be an absolute cracker. Wow, that's some great matchmaking, that is going to be a war!

Gamboa is an amazing fighter and he will be champion within a year or so. Solis doesnt impress me. Hes good for the the type of fighter he is, but nothing really sets him apart from the other heavyweights of today. When saw a young Ali or Tyson you knew you were watching somithing special. I dont get that feeling with Solis, but I do when I see Gamboa. Hes a special kind of fighter imo.
