WORCESTER, ಮಾಸ್. (ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ 29, 2017) – Former UFC heavyweight title challenger ಗೇಬ್ರಿಯಲ್ “Napao” Gonzaga has a successful pro boxing debut last night (ಶನಿವಾರ, ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್. 28) in the co-featured event on the “New England’s Future 4” ಕಾರ್ಡ್, ರಿವೆರ ಪ್ರಚಾರಗಳು ಮನರಂಜನೆ ಮಂಡಿಸಿದ (RPE), at DCU Center, Exhibition Hall, ವೋರ್ಸೆಸ್ಟರ್.

6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (ಎಮ್ಎ), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, ಟ್ಯಾಂಪಾ (FL). Gonzaga stalked the southpaw Santiago, landing some hard shots in the opening round. The heavy-handed Gonzaga picked up the pace in the third and his upset-minded opponent responded in a positive fashion. Both fighters exchanged freely in the fourth and final round, neither was hurt during the contest, and Gonzaga was awarded a win by four-round majority decision.

“I thought I’d be more relaxed in the ring like I had been in the gym,” Gonzaga said. “I did my best and came away with a victory. I was too safe in the third round. My punches were much strong and a lot of his punches I blocked with my gloves. This was really great! ಟುನೈಟ್”

“I felt good and gave it my all,” Santiago remarked. “He hit me with some shots and gave ’em back. Not only does he have a big nose (“Napao”), he has a strong, big head, ತುಂಬಾ.”
