The winner of the sweepstakes: Gary Shaw, who will become his co-promoter, Shaw and Arena owner Ahmet Oner announced this week. And for good measure, Shaw will also become the co-promoter of Odlanier Solis (7-0, 5 KOs), Gamboa's Olympic teammate and fellow gold medalist. Both fighters will appear on Shaw's May 17 card, with Gamboa appearing on the televised portion of the HBO "Boxing After Dark" tripleheader in a major step up against Marcos Ramirez (25-0, 16 KOs). Junior middleweight prospects James Kirkland and Alfredo Angulo will appear in the other two bouts on a card dubbed as "Night of the Rising Stars." Kirkland will face Eromosele Albert and Angulo is expected to meet Richard Gutierrez. "I get along very well with Gary Shaw. He is exactly the partner I have been looking for," Oner said. "I saw some of his shows and liked what I saw. He came to visit me in Hamburg and we had a long and very good meeting. He's got excellent TV dates in the USA, and I've got excellent fighters -- it just fits. I think we complement each other very well and I am convinced that we will be a strong team and have a major impact in the future." Shaw was also pleased by the arrangement: "I am excited and honored to be representing Ahmet and his roster of exciting fighters. Yuriorkis Gamboa and Odlanier Solis have the potential of becoming the greatest one-two punch in sports since Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig and they will be the heart of our all-star lineup. American boxing fans are in for a treat, seeing not just the best foreign fighters, but the best fighters in the world, and I am honored to be a part of that." The deal, however, did not come without some messiness. Shaw's signing of Gamboa means he has been pulled off of DiBella's April 11 "ShoBox" card on Showtime, which neither he nor Showtime are happy about.
If you don't have a Television set on May 17th...FIND ONE.
Gamboa...
Way to go, HBO. That's what B.A.D. is about.
