By Jake Donovan - Yuriorkis Gamboa remains a man of his word. Unfortunately, it’s his most recent words he chooses to honor, where he promised to once again be a no-show for the Los Angeles end of the press tour to hype his scheduled April 14 HBO-televised fight with Brandon Rios.
The Rios camp along with Top Rank Inc. and the West Coast-based media gathered at the Biltmore Millennium Hotel’s Crystal Ballroom in Los Angeles to hype up a fight that has received overwhelming support from the boxing public.
“The most surprising thing for me with this fight was the reaction from the fans,” said Todd DeBuof, president of Top Rank. “They were going nuts. They were sending me e-mails. They were texting. You have to see the blogging out there, the comments in the social media. So what happens? Tickets go on sale and there is incredible demand.”
