(OCT 31)
LOS ANGELES - WBAN has received a press release that
on November 2nd, at the Auditorio General Arteaga in Queretaro,
Mexico they will host to a tripleheader featuring boxing's best,
as part of "TRIPLE CORONA" on Televisa and FOX Deportes,
starring unbeaten 20-year-old phenom Andres "Jaguar" Gutierrez
and female stars Yazmin "Rusita" Rivas and Irma "Torbellino"
Garcia.
In the 12-round main event, Queretaro's own Gutierrez defends
his WBC Silver Super Bantamweight Title against the Philippines'
Ernie Sanchez. Plus, Torreon's Rivas challenges for the interim
WBC Female Bantamweight Championship against Distrito Federal's
Jessica Gonzalez, and Mexico City's Garcia takes on Monterrey's
Magali "Tormenta" Rodriguez for the WBA Female Bantamweight
Title.
"Triple Corona" is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Canelo
Promotions and sponsored by Corona. Doors open at 5 p.m. CT and
the first fight begins at 6 p.m. CT. The Televisa Deportes
broadcast begins at 10:30 p.m. CT. FOX Deportes will air the
broadcast on Sunday, November 3, at 1:00 p.m. EST.
One of the top young fighters in Mexico today, Andres "Jaguar"
Gutierrez (27-0-1, 22 KO's) is on the verge of big things in the
122-pound weight class as 2013 heads into its closing stages. A
knockout victor over Jose Carmona and Salvador Sanchez this
year, the dynamic 20-year-old is coming off of a 12-round
shutout over Rey Perez in July, keeping his unbeaten record
intact yet again.
Hailing from General Santos City, Filipino prospect Ernie
Sanchez (14-3, 5 KO's) is making waves in the division, and a
win over Gutierrez will move him even further in his quest for
world title honors. A pro since 2009, the 21-year-old has won
his last three bouts, including Las Vegas victories against
fellow up and comers Wilton Hilario and Coy Evans.
Twenty-five-year-old Yazmin "Rusita" Rivas (28-7, 9 KO's) is
respected throughout the women's boxing world as a premier
prizefighter, and as a WBA Super Flyweight and IBF Bantamweight
Champion, she has the hardware to prove it. Unbeaten in her last
11 bouts dating back to 2011, Rivas now hopes to add another
world title belt to her collection this Saturday.
Despite having just a fraction of fights that her opponent has
had, it's clear that Jessica Gonzalez (7-1-1, 3 KO's) is ready
for this bout when you consider that she has already defeated
Irma Garcia and Keisher McLeod-Wells over the course of her
career. And if she can beat Rivas and win her first world title,
no one will ever question her again.
Looking to bounce back from the first loss of her career to
Jessica Gonzalez in August, southpaw Irma "Torbellino" Garcia
(7-1-1, 1 KO) is more fired up than ever to get back on the
winning track and defend her title. A world champion since
January, when she outpointed Janeth Perez, Garcia defeated Perez
a second time in April before the upset loss to Gonzalez, and
she plans on taking out Rodriguez this weekend.
Magali "Tormenta" Rodriguez (13-4-1, 7 KO's) is a hard-hitting
contender who has craved this world title shot ever since she
turned pro in 2009. Owner of a 2012 win over Jessica Gonzalez,
the 21-year-old Rodriguez has also been the distance twice with
Janeth Perez, marking her as a legitimate threat to anyone she
faces in the ring.
