Review: 2014-11-15, fight not particularly good between Yuriorkis Gamboa and Joel Montes de Oca: it gets two stars.

Gamboa’s rival was properly selected for improving his confidence on his come back to the ring after suffering his first defeat of an excellent boxing carrier. I assume Gamboa will produce future and similar good results with rivals of better qualifications than Montes de Oca that however put a nice fight.
