ВОРЦЕСТЕР,, Маса. (Октобар 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger Габријел “Напао је” Гонзага starts October 28тх when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” картица, the fourth and final 2017 наставак популарне професионалне боксерске серије, “Нев Енгланд Будућност”, to be held at the DCU Center (Изложбена сала) у Ворцестер, Масачусетс.
“Нев Енгланд’с Футуре 4” представља Ривера Промотионс Ентертаинмент (РПЕ), које је у власништву и којим управљају пензионери три пута, два подела светски шампион Хосе Антонио Ривера и његов син, Антхонее (А.Ј.) Ривера.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (БЈЈ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (Мр). An imposing physical fighter, the 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 КОс, 9 SUBs, 1 ДЕЦ), има 4тх degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 УФЦ 70, held in Manchester, Велика Британија, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Мирко Цро Цоп with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Ранди Цоутуре in his next fight.
Гонзага, who retired from MMA 1 ½ years ago, also defeated Бен Ротхвелл, Шон Џордан и Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.

Gonzago has a new opponent for his four-round bout, Tampa’s pro-debuting Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, who also has a pro MMA background.
“I like challenges in my life,” Gonzaga explained why he’s making his pro debut. “I set new goals because I like to be competitive in sports. I have a good boxing coach who told me I should try. I was a BJJ (Бразилски Јиу-Јитсу) world champion and UFC title contender. I have good boxing skills and plan to put on a good show. I do have one-punch power and hit hard.
“I started boxing in 2001 and worked at it every day for two years to learn, but then I was competing in MMA. Сада, I’m focused on boxing. I think boxing is the hardest part of MMA. I know you can’t make mistakes in boxing and there’s no time to relax. У ММА, I could relax a little at times in clinches, but the referee won’t allow that in boxing. I’ll probably fight more than once but not too many because of my age and I’m not really at the high-level of boxing like I was in MMA.”
Gonzaga’s head boxing trainer, Роцки Гонзалез, has been working with several MMA fighters, including Gonzaga, for more than a decade to help them improve their striking skills. Gonzalez freely admits that Gonzaga knew how to box before he started working with him, crediting Gonzaga’s Muay Thai coach, and that boxing came naturally to the big Brazilian who has made an easy adjustment from the Octagon to the ring. Gonzalez also feels that leg positioning differences for MMA fighters switching to boxing, in terms of throwing proper punches, is somewhat overrated.
“У боксу,” Гонзалес је рекао, “fighters need their hands like their legs and elbows in MMA. Distance and timing is more important than where their legs and feet are positioned. Gabriel doesn’t like sparring with headgear, тако, his sparring is more like real fighting. He’s been hot with some real shots but he’s responded well. He’s always going to have a puncher’s chance and he’s deceptive because he doesn’t look as fast as he is.
“We didn’t really plan anything but he got this good opportunity. He’s always wanted to turn pro as a boxer and go from there. Gabriel is a good listener who keeps working hard to get better. When he first brought up boxing, he was contracted by the UFC, but we started talking about him boxing after the UFC released him. He knew Jose from him teaching boxing. Gabriel isn’t doing this for the money. He’s a competitive guy who wanted to try boxing.”
