Gutierrez is seeking to expand his marquee on a national level, while Spinks attempts to shine on his own terms despite his spotlight catching last name.

Los ntawm lub D Las Vegas and promoted Englebrecht Promotions, lub “Knockout Night at the D” series’ inaugural event Hiav txwv. 12 will take place inside the DLVEC’s 20,000-square-foot tent, located in the heart of the downtown Las Vegas casino district, one block away from the world famous Fremont Street (200 S. 3rd St.).
The 27-year-old Gutierrez (14-0-1, 4 Kos), sib ntaus sib tua tawm ntawm Las Vegas, is ready to make a name for himself and Mar. 12th 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, Mexico, which produced Hall of Famer Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr., cov ntau lwm tus neeg, 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, I fell in love with boxing. 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, XWS LI, is not only the grandson of former world heavyweight champion and 1976 Olympic kub medalist, “Neon” Leon Spinks, his great uncle is world light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, in addition to being a 1976 Olympic kub medalist, Michael Spinks. And young Leon, uas muab 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 (siab) 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, heev, very big event for me, my family will be in the house supporting me.”

Las Vegas (Lub peb hlis ntuj 1, 2016) – Future Hall of Fame candidate Zab “Super” Judah is fighting for his legacy. His road back to the top starts Saturday hmo ntuj,Lub peb hlis ntuj 12, against upset-minded Josh “Pitbull” Torres, in the 10-round main event kicking off the new monthly pro boxing series, “Knockout Night at the D”, airing nyob (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. THIAB) rau CBS kev ua si Network live from the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC).
Los ntawm lub D Las Vegas thiab Downtown Las Vegas Txheej xwm Center, along with Neon Star Media and Roy Englebrecht Promotions, lub “Knockout Night at the D” series’ inaugural event Hiav txwv. 12 will take place inside the DLVEC’s 20,000-square-foot tent, located in the heart of the downtown Las Vegas casino district, one block away from the world famous Fremont Street (200 S. 3rd St.).
Judah (42-9, 29 Kos), sib ntaus sib tua tawm ntawm Las Vegas, has been a professional boxer for nearly 20 xyoo. The southpaw has defeated seven world champions during his outstanding career: Junior Witter, Terron Millet, DeMarcus Corley, Raphael Pineda, Corey Spinks, Joshua Clottey thiab(interim champ) Lucas Matthysse. The Brooklyn native has an outstanding 11-8 (9 Kos) record in world title fights.
Tam sim no, tab sis yog, his past is in the rearview mirror and Judah’s on a mission to capture his sixth world title. That’s what drives the 38-year-old originally from Brooklyn. “I’m very happy to be headlining the first show of the ‘Knockout Night at the D’ series,” Judah said. “I’m always comfortable and happy in the squared ring. I enjoy the sport of boxing and have one more goal…to be six-time world champion of the world!”
Due to a variety of reasons, Judah has been out of action for two years, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he hasn’t been ready to rock in the ring. “Kuv zoo siab heev yuav tsum tau rov qab rau hauv lub nplhaib,” Judah remarked. “I helped Floyd (Mayweather) get ready for (Manny)Pacquiao and last May came out of that camp in great shape. I’ve been ready to fight since then.
“I’ve studied him (Torres) and he’s a hungry, young guy with a great opportunity in front of him. We aren’t overlooking him.”
The 24-year-old Torres (15-4-2, 7 Kos) may not have the same name recognition as many of Judah’s past opponents, but the determined prospect from Albuquerque, NM has nothing to lose and everything to gain fighting Judah.
“I believe this fight can be life changing, not only for me, but also for upcoming New Mexico fighters,” Torres commented. “Boxing doesn’t get a lot of attention in my state.”
Torres is a protégé of the late 5-time world championJohnny Tapia. His brother-in-law, Chris Chavez, now trains Torres, who has been sparring with fellow New Mexican and former world junior middleweight champion, Austin trout, to prepare for the left-handed Judah.
Torres is also a professional barber who’d like to clip Judah, yog li hais lus. “I haven’t had a promoter or manager,” he explained the need for him to be a barber as well as a pro boxer. “I’ve always had to work to pay bills. It’s just had to be that way in my boxing career.”
