Leider Galvis W8 Yeiner Gómez... Colombian featherweight Leider Galvis (4-0) was the standout performer of the night at the WBA Future of Colombian Boxing event held this Saturday in Barranquilla. Fighting in front of his hometown crowd, Galvis defeated Yeiner Gómez (6-1-1) by unanimous decision the Cuadrilátero Élite Gymnasium. At just 21 years old, Galvis entered the fourth fight of his professional career against a more experienced and still-undefeated opponent. The featherweight clash was fought at a relentless pace from start to finish, but Galvis passed a major test by flooring Gómez once on his way to carrying the scorecards by reported tallies of 76-74 (twice) and 77-73.
