伍斯特, 質量. (十月 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger 加布里埃爾 “受到攻擊” 岡薩加 starts October 28日 when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” 卡, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “新英格蘭的未來”, to be held at the DCU Center (展廳) 在伍斯特, 馬薩諸塞州.
“新英格蘭的未來 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, 二科世界冠軍 何塞·安東尼奧·里維拉 和他的兒子, Anthonee (A.J.) 里維拉.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (巴西柔術) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (嘛). An imposing physical fighter, 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 科斯, 9 SUBs, 1 DEC), 持有 4日 degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, 英國, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion 米爾科·克羅馬警察 with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion 蘭迪時裝 in his next fight.
岡薩加, who retired from MMA 1 ½ years ago, also defeated 本·羅斯韋爾, 肖恩約旦 和 Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-R) – 洛基岡薩雷斯 & 加布里埃爾·貢扎加
Gonzago has a new opponent for his four-round bout, Tampa’s pro-debuting 亞歷杭德羅·埃斯奎林·聖地亞哥, 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. 現在, 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. 在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, 洛基岡薩雷斯, 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.
“在拳擊比賽中,” 岡薩雷斯說, “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, 所以, 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.”
