TEENAGER HEADLINES ON FOX DEPORTES TOMORROW
Press Release: Teenage Andres "Jaguarcito" Gutierrez has been making some serious noise on the Mexican fight circuit and will face a stiff test when he faces Colombia's Onalvi Sierra in a twelve-round bantamweight bout tomorrow, June 23rd in Puebla, Mexico. The bout will be televised in the United States on Fox Deportes at 10 PM Eastern time. In the co-feature, Torreon's Yazmiin "La Rusita" Rivas defends her IBF Bantamweight title against New York's Nydia Feliciano.
A professional since the age of 15, Queretaro, Mexico's Andres Gutierrez (21-0-1 with 18 KOs) is a strong puncher who, at only 18, is still improving. "Jaguarcito" eight of his wins in two rounds or less. Fresh off of three straight wins over veterans Carlos Guzman, Franklin Varela and Devis Perez, Gutierrez is looking forward to adding Sierra to that list on June 23.
24-year-old Colombian Onalvi Sierra (24-5-1, 21 KO's) has rebounded from an 8-4-1 start to his career to win 16 of his last 17.
The 24-year-old Yazmin "La Rusita" Rivas (24-7, 9 KO's) has been perfecting her trade for nearly eleven years, fighting in Torreon, Coahuila de Zaragoza, Mexico to the United States to North Korea to Germany. In October of last year, Rivas won the IBF title with a decision victory over then 21-0 Susie Ramadan, defending her crown with a win over Edith Matthysse in February in her most recent outing.
She will look to make it two successful defenses in a row against 23-year-old Bronx, New York native Nydia Feliciano (5-2-3), who has won three in a row after a 2-2-3 start to her career.
