GUILLERMO GUTIERREZ BEGINS ERUPTION BOXING MANAGEMENT DEAL WITH IMMEDIATE TITLE SHOT

Undefeated prospect challenges for WBC belt in first fight under new management deal 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

San Antonio, Texas; March 29, 2024 – Unbeaten super-flyweight hope Guillermo Gutierrez has secured a title shot in his very first fight under new management team Eruption Boxing Management.

In what is a statement of intent for both boxer and manager, 25-year-old Gutierrez will challenge for the WBC Youth Intercontinental championship at P4P Promotions’ blockbuster ‘Noche de Campeones’ event on April 20 in the Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, Texas.

The San Antonio native, who has streaked to an impressive 10-0 since turning professional in June 2021, will face old foe and Laredo’s own Jaime Jasso in a rematch for the belt.

Gutierrez and Jasso engaged in a hotly contested four-rounder in December 2021, which Gutierrez won via majority decision when both men were eager new pros.

Now they renew their rivalry over eight rounds, with a prestigious WBC belt to be handed to the winner.

“I’m excited as I have been eagerly waiting for this opportunity to get back in the ring,” said Gutierrez. “I know my opponent will be ready for me because, in our previous fight, they thought they had won. However, I am always in the gym working hard to improve myself and on April 20 my dedication and hard work will show.

“Guillermo Gutierrez is an exceptional talent with immense potential,” said Legge. “He is not only training hard but is getting better with every fight, every sparring and training session. Guillermo is on a mission and won’t stop until he reaches his goals. I’m excited to add him to my roster of promising fighters and help guide his career to new heights. San Antonio has produced some of the sport’s brightest stars, and we believe Guillermo has what it takes to join their ranks.”

While proudly representing San Antonio, Gutierrez’s preparation for his crucial showdown with Jasso has included a sparring stint at Robert Garcia’s gym in Oxnard, California – proof that the young prospect is willing to leave his comfort zone in pursuit of glory.

There, his skills were fine-tuned by Garcia, one of the sport’s most renowned coaches, who has trained such modern greats as Anthony Joshua, Nonito Donaire, Marcos Maidana and his own brother Mikey Garcia, to name just a few.

“I went to California with the mindset to learn as much as possible from Robert Garcia and his guys,” Gutierrez said. “I wanted to test my skills against some of the best fighters in the world. This trip made me a better fighter, that I know for sure.”

* Gutierrez v Jasso II for the WBC Youth Intercontinental super-flyweight championship will be one of six title fights to be staged at ‘Noche de Campeones’ in the Sames Auto Arena, Laredo, Texas, on April 20, 2024.

Dean Berks – 26th Feb 2024 

The state of Texas has produced an exceptional line of fighters over the years: Donald Curry, Orlando and Gaby Canizales, Terry Norris, Jesse James Leija, and Juan Diaz is an impressive list. Add more recent champions like twins Jermall and Jermell Charlo, Errol Spence Jr, Jesse Rodriguez, and top 154 lb contender Vergil Ortiz Jr, and you can see just how special the “Lone Star State” is.  Hoping to add his name to that illustrious list is San Antonio’s super flyweight prospect, Guillermo Gutierrez. Unbeaten at 10-0, with 1 KO, the smooth stylist has just signed a contract with Eruption Boxing Management and will be guided by the companies Manager/President Gwen Legge. Both are hoping that the partnership will reap the rewards.  Gutierrez was introduced to boxing when he was just 8 years old by his father.  Speaking to the San Antonio Express, he recalled his beginnings in the sport. “I think he always wanted to be a fighter,” his father said, “So he signed me up. At first, I hated it. I would cry. I didn’t want to go.“ But he soon caught the bug, first training under the late Lorenzo Trujillo, before training under former WBA bantamweight champion John Michael Johnson.  Because of his diminutive size, fights were difficult to make in the early going. However, Gutierrez went on to have a very good amateur career with over 120 fights overall. Then the professional ranks came calling.
His journey started in June 2021 with a points win over Frank Boston, and in his next fight, he stopped Gabriel Guerrero, his only inside the distance win so far. But he is hoping to make improvements in that department, starting with a trip to spend some time with the esteemed Robert Garcia at his gym in California.  Gutierrez next fight is scheduled for 16 March and will see him compete for his first regional title, the NABF Jr., the first in what he intends to be many.  The next twelve months could shape up to being an exciting time for him, and hopefully, he will then be ready to make his move into the top ten in his division.
