Chapita to face Nava
By Ewan Whyte
April 29, 2006

     
   
   
   
   

(APR 29) Carolina Marcela Gutiérrez Gaite, the undefeated Argentinian bantamweight, will be the next challenger for Jackie Nava's WBC super bantamweight title, after negotiations to offer a rematch to Leona Brown of the USA fell through. The fight will take place on the 20th May in Los Cabos, Baja California.

Gutiérrez ("Chapita")'s last outing, in which she disputed the UBC bantamweight title with the Colombian Mónica "la Terrible" Acosta Siris — for whom Luis Bello Díaz, the head of the Colombian boxing federation and UBC, who accompanied her to Argentina, was claiming a record of 9-2-2 — ended dramatically when the Colombian, a mother of three, turned her back in surrender only seconds from the end of the fifth, after a fourth round that had seen both women suffering nosebleeds : Acosta from a hard right and Gutiérrez — according to Gustavo Zamudio, who covered the event for La Mañana de Córdoba — as a result of repeated head butts from the Colombian.

Retribution in the fifth was brutal.

With Chapita's powerful right hand repeatedly finding the mark and no towel forthcoming, it was left to La Terrible — by now almost out on her feet — to take the initiative and (as Zamudio put it) "have mercy on herself".

Both women, coincidentally, came from huge families, with 14 and 9 siblings respectively. Acosta, who was born in Gabriel García Márquez's hometown of Aracataca and is married to another boxer, Jairo Siris, was already proclaiming herself the champion at the pre-match press conference — adding, bizarrely, that she was "a woman of few words".

Two, in the event, were all she needed.

Despite Gutiérrez's impressive 10-0 (7 KOs ) record, the champion's manager, Miguel Reyes, was confident yesterday that Nava would send her home with her tail between her legs. "Right now, Jackie's running 30 to 40 minutes a day as well as putting in almost two hours of gym work in the evenings. She's looking really strong and eager to defend her title. All of us are confident she'll emerge from the fight with her arm raised."

The champion's 13-1-1 record (8 KOs) has certainly been obtained against more impressive opposition than that of Gutiérrez : WBAN's Dee Williams ranks her #1 in the world and the challenger is not ranked in the top ten.

Recently Nava decided to put on hold a promising career as an architect (she graduated first in her class from the University of Tijuana) to concentrate on boxing. There will be time enough for building later. Right now, for the 26-year-old Mexican, demolition is the name of the game.
