The 27-year-old Gutierrez (14-0-1, 4 KOs), luchando fuera de Las Vegas, is ready to make a name for himself and Mar. 12º is scheduled to be his coming out party on a national stage. He’s rapidly become a fan favorite in Las Vegas because of his exciting, aggressive style of fighting. Chuy’s ready to spread his wings, now being showcased fighting on national television, and expand his growing fan-base.
Born in the fertile boxing town of Sinaloa, México, which produced Hall of Famer Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr., entre muchos otros, Gutierrez is making up for lost time. He was a baseball prospect who didn’t box until he was 21. “I played sports in high school, baseball was my first love, and I dreamed of becoming a big leaguer,” Gutierrez said. “Boxing found me. I was attending college at Southern Nevada and working, but the first day I walked into Johnny Tocco’s gym, Me enamoré de boxeo. I’ve watched so many greats train there and I learned a lot from them.”
“I have a lot of respect for Spinks, but I’m just fighting the man, not his family. His grandfather was world champion, but I’m not fighting his grandfather. I’m excited to be fighting him on CBS Sports Network.”
Spinks (11-3-1, 7 KOs), who fights out of Huntington Beach, TAL COMO, is not only the grandson of former world heavyweight champion and 1976 Medallista de oro olímpico, “Neón” Leon Spinks, his great uncle is world light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, in addition to being a 1976 Medallista de oro olímpico, Michael Spinks. And young Leon, quien cumplió 28 this past Valentine’s Day, is also the nephew of former 2-division world champion Cory Spinks.
His familiar last name in boxing has been a blessing, albeit one that has also put a lot of pressure on Leon. “Things have always been that way (presión) because I’m named after my grandfather, ‘Pops,'” Leon III explained. “From the beginning of my pro career, I was put in tough fights because of my name, just tough fights…real wars.
“I got to 8-0 but that hurt me because I couldn’t get good fights. But I’ve always really been my own man. This is a very, muy, very big event for me, my family will be in the house supporting me.”
