New boxing chapter to start for former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Saldırıya uğradı” Gonzaga

Leave a comment
Ekim 28 Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Kütle. (Ekim 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger Cebrail “Saldırıya uğradı” Gonzaga starts October 28th when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” kart, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “New England'ın Geleceği”, to be held at the DCU Center (Sergi Salonu) Worcester, Massachusetts.
“New England'ın Geleceği 4” Rivera Promosyonlar Eğlence tarafından sunulmaktadır (RPE), üç kez emekli olanın sahibi olduğu ve işlettiği, İki bölünme dünya şampiyonu Jose Antonio Rivera ve oğlu, Anthonee (AJ) Rivera.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (MA). An imposing physical fighter, 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 KOs, 9 SUBs, 1 Aralık), tutar 4th degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, Birleşik Krallık, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Mirko Cro Cop with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture in his next fight.
Gonzaga, who retired from MMA 1 ½ yıl önce, also defeated Ben Rothwell, Shawn Ürdün ve Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-R,) – Rocky Gonzalez & Gabriel Gonzaga
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 (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu-) 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. Şimdi, 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. MMA, 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, Rocky Gonzalez, 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.
“boksta,” Gonzalez dedi, “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, yani, 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.”

“I can’t afford to lose, and I don’t want to lose.” – Anthony Joshua

Unified Heavyweight World Champion Anthony Joshua worked out for the media Salı günü Sheffield, İngiltere, as the undefeated British sensation continues preparation for his showdown against IBF mandatory challenger Carlos Takam on Cumartesi, Ekim. 28at 5 um. VE/2 um. PT SHOWTIME canlı from Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Galler.

“This is a must-win for myself and for Carlos Takam,” Joshua told Sky Sports, which will present the fight in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports Box Office. “As much as my supporters want to see me win, there are still a few people who doubt me and want me to lose and disrupt our plan. They don’t want to see the cream rise to the top.”

Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs) is not taking Takam (35-3-1, 27 KOs) lightly, and said he feels added pressure taking on a new opponent on short notice as Takam replaces the injured Kubrat Pulev.

“Twenty wins, 20 knockouts ain’t bad, but boxing’s unforgiving. So don’t ask me what you do for your 21st kavga,” Joshua said. “I can’t afford to lose, and I don’t want to lose.

“Boxing is a sport that’s unforgiving in a sense that if Takam beats me, that loss will stay on my record for a lifetime. That will always be my legacy. It will not be, 'Ah, he was a world champion, and he did well for the sport of boxing.’ No, yapamaz, yapamaz, no no. It would be, ‘He’s 19-1.’ That’s the new legacy and I just don’t want that blemish on my record right now.

“I’ve known about Carlos Takam for a long time and he’s a very, very well-rounded fighter. He’s been moving his way up the IBF rankings, so I’ve always had my eye on him anyway.

“I think Eddie did a great job to have someone in place in case these mishaps happen. And when I heard the news I was fighting Takam, of all people, he’s a very strong, game fighter. This is his chance to kind of shock the world.

“Takam is already as tough as they come. He’s so tough. He just keeps on walking forward, and that’s disheartening for a fighter.

“When I’m in there with him, it will be interesting to see how game and ready he is, and what fire he is ready to go through.”
