00:00Gentlemen, you will give me instructions in the dressing.

00:02I'm gonna get you in a hard fight.

00:03You will obey my commands at all times.

00:05Starts right at the beginning of the suit.

00:07It's like stealing in that company.

00:08Talk about this. Much fuerte.

00:12Jerry Cantu, the third man in the ring.

00:17We get ready to go.

00:18This was scheduled for four rounds.

00:20Leo Rubalcaba and Giovanni Gonzalez.

00:25Leo with Robert Garcia on his son.

00:30He trains with him.

00:30Robert really high about this young man.

00:33He said, we gotta bring him on slowly.

00:36He's got some talent. Still green.

00:39And you just gotta come out there and box.

00:42He's a fine amateur. Had 140 amateur fights.

00:44Won 120 of them. Six-time national champion.

00:49Started out in the 55-pound weight division at the age of 8.

00:55And he comes a slug.

00:56He's originally from Winter, California.

00:58Moved to Aruba Valley.

01:00He said he finds himself a cowboy.

01:01Has a couple of horses. He and his dad.

01:04And right away, being aggressive, snapping that jab.

01:10Overhand right. And bloodied immediately is his opponent, Giovanni Gonzalez.

01:19Rubalcaba fought.

01:21Yeah, he's cut.

01:23And he's getting tagged with the right hand by Rubalcaba and the teal.

01:27Rubalcaba's first fight here at Thunder Studios.

01:29And he dropped him!

01:31Only lasted a minute 22.

01:33And this one may not last much longer than that.

01:36Gonzalez cut on the left eyebrow.

01:38Batter had already dropped here in the first.

01:44The Venezuelan in tough.

01:46And uppercut from Rubalcaba.

01:52Rubalcaba countering, shooting.

01:55On that jab.

01:59Gonzalez is tough, though.

02:00He is tough. He's willing to trade with him.

02:02I don't know if that's smart.

02:03And he gets tagged with the left hook.

02:10Rubalcaba remaining very calm in that situation.

02:14He didn't come crazy.

02:15And that's what Robert Garcia wanted him to do.

02:19Said he trains with all the good guys that he has in his gym at RGBA.

02:24At one point sparred Virgil Ortiz when they were different sizes.

02:30Right hand from Rubalcaba.

02:36Rubalcaba's big asset's going to be that size.

02:38Those long arms of his really has nice reach.

02:44Got 140 for him.

02:47Body shot. That's nice from Rubalcaba.

02:52He's still green.

02:53Robertson's got to bring him along slowly.

02:56He's got skills.

02:57He's got to match him right.

03:0230 seconds to go in the opening round.

03:09Gonzalez cut and battered here in the opening round.

03:11Scheduled for four.

03:13Leonardo, by the way, does not have a nickname.

03:16Said we're going to have to work on that.

03:20Slip in the counter and it's Leonardo Rubalcaba.

03:25Gonzalez looks like he's going to survive the first round.

03:29Body shot. That's a good one.

03:35From the corner, Gonzalez is going to have work to do on that cut on the left eyebrow.

03:46You see Robert Garcia.

03:50He's going to beat the highlights from the first round.

03:53Rubalcaba setting things up with a jab.

03:58Through that left to the body.

03:59It was not a devastating punch.

04:01But the combination of being a little off balance with the power of the punch.

04:05That right hand got through.

04:06Rubalcaba very, very deliberate.

04:10Yeah, the first couple times we've seen him.

04:15He would have been a devil coming out there.

04:25I like talking to Robert Garcia and his father.

04:27You know, about the fighters.

04:28It's like, you know, there's some guy.

04:29He's very honest with you.

04:30Like some guys I have, they're going to be club show fighters.

04:34Like Rubalcaba is a fighter.

04:36We're projected.

04:38They can move him along nicely.

04:40Get him a good contract somewhere.

04:42And he can contend.

04:43He's really high on him for the work ethic that he has.

04:46And the work that he does in his gym.

04:51And it's wild.

04:52You know, that's as much as worth as much as anything.

04:58Work ethic.

04:58But he's got a fighter here who's trying very hard.

05:02Giovanni Gonzalez throwing wild shots.

05:05So Rubalcaba has got to maintain his composure.

05:09Gonzalez, nothing to lose.

05:12Last minute call.

05:13If you're going for broke, why not?

05:15Jab, moves it back.

05:21Behoove Gonzalez a move.

05:24Stay away.

05:345-0, Leo Rubalcaba, two stoppages.

05:38He's from Teucalpiche, Jalisco, Mexico.

05:41About two hours east of Guadalajara.

05:45Farm country, cowboys.

05:50One thing about Rubalcaba is a pro early in his career.

05:53He's staying very active.

05:55Fought four times in 19, excuse me, 2023.

05:59And then this is his second fight already this year.

06:03Gonzalez is not intimidated, but he's going to run into something.

06:09He's coming in wide open, Rich.

06:15Nice combination from Rubalcaba.

06:17Puts together punches pretty well.

06:19He's got a lot of ground.

06:21He's got a lot of ground.

06:23He's got a lot of ground.

06:25He's got a lot of ground.

06:27He's got a lot of ground.

06:29He's got a lot of ground.

06:31He puts together punches pretty well.

06:35And doesn't ignore the body.

06:38Which when you have a last minute replacement, go to that body.

06:53Gonzalez switching southpaw was not good.

06:56He got tagged on the side of the body.

07:0130 seconds to go in the round.

07:11So what do you think about a nickname here for Rubalcaba?

07:13So what do you think about a nickname here for Rubalcaba?

07:15He'll need one.

07:17But he's just talking to him a little bit.

07:19But he's just talking to him a little bit.

07:21The Chupacabra maybe.

07:23The Chupacabra maybe.

07:25And there's his crowd making some noise.

07:27And there's his crowd making some noise.

07:29Everybody calls him Leo.

07:35I suggest that he use Frankie Duarte's old nickname, which was Güero.

07:37I suggest that he use Frankie Duarte's old nickname, which was Güero.

07:39Fair skin.

07:41That's the Jalisco lineage right there.

07:43That's the Jalisco lineage right there.

07:45Gonzalez.

07:56Highlights of the second round.

07:58Highlights of the second round.

08:00Still boring.

08:02Still boring.

08:04Straightforward.

08:06Straightforward.

08:08This is why I mentioned Rubalcaba had to keep his hand to keep his

08:10This is why I mentioned Rubalcaba had to keep his hand to keep his

08:12composure.

08:14He gets his rhythm down.

08:33I need one of those Robert Garcia Boxing Academy shirts.

08:35I love that snorting bull.

08:36Oh, we'll get you that.

08:37We'll get you the one he's wearing right now.

08:39Extra large.

08:40Bet the brand.

08:41Rich Morata.

08:43Robert does an excellent job with his fighters.

08:46He's a world champion.

08:47Brother of Mikey.

08:50So many good kids that have come out of his program.

08:53He has some good fighters.

08:57One of the great families in the history of boxing, I think.

09:00Certainly in Southern California.

09:02Started in Oxnard, Ventura County.

09:05Fernando Vargas, too, an Olympian.

09:07His father trained.

09:09His son Pete that didn't box, but does a great job scouting.

09:13And actually running the day-to-day at the gym that they have.

09:17You'll see Pete at all the amateur tournaments.

09:21Finding fighters they can sign and work with.

09:26Gonzalez is tough.

09:31It's not the Aruba Caba.

09:34It's pressure.

09:43Gonzalez is just trying to get to the forearm.

09:50He got cut in the first and he got dropped.

09:53Big right hand from Aruba Caba.

09:55Looked like he was going to get blown out in that first round.

09:58Because he got cut and knocked down within seconds of each other.

10:01But now Gonzalez is asking Aruba Caba to bring it.

10:04That's that salty vet.

10:06Asking for it.

10:09And the corner that he just picked up yesterday is telling him,

10:12He's smart. He's intelligent.

10:26One other thing, too.

10:27You face the last minute set.

10:28You don't know what to expect.

10:29No.

10:30At all.

10:32You got to know that Gonzalez is just Venezuelan crazy.

10:37And I say that as a compliment.

10:39He's not going to respect.

10:42He comes in with a record 2 and 4 last minute.

10:44He's not respecting your undefeated record.

10:48He doesn't care if you sold a bunch of tickets.

10:56How does Gonzalez have the KO power?

10:59Does he have it?

11:09Leonardo is a fine boxer.

11:11He's really got a nice jab.

11:13The question will be as he goes on.

11:15Does he have the power?

11:16That's going to be at 140 pounds.

11:22Gonzalez is there with you.

11:24As we head to the 4th round.

11:264th round.

11:38Venezuelan fighter.

11:39You think Edwin Valerio?

11:42Oh, yeah.

11:44You're talking about a wild man.

11:51And of course, home of the Caracas Caper,

11:53George Foreman and Kenny Norton.

11:57Actually, not too long ago, I saw Jorge Linares from Venezuela.

12:02He's actually working for one of the commissions now.

12:06As a rep.

12:09You see Gonzalez toying.

12:12Yeah, he was starting to feel it a little bit in that round.

12:233rd and 1st round.

12:384th and final round.

12:40Leo Rubalcaba controlling the fight.

12:42Cut Giovanni Gonzalez in the 1st.

12:44Dropped him in the 1st.

12:46And we're here in the 4th.

12:48I thought it was going to be another repeat of that last fight

12:50when he fought here when he knocked out

12:53Kyle McFarlane in 82 seconds.

12:56But Gonzalez showed up there to fight.

12:58Gonzalez is just here.

13:00Might as well be a street fight for Giovanni Gonzalez.

13:04He's asking for it.

13:09Brown urging Leo on.

13:23Jab from Leo.

13:25That jab is nice.

13:28And it is long.

13:30And it stings.

13:34Gonzalez says it doesn't.

13:35She doesn't believe you.

13:37In other words, it stings.

13:42So many fighters, especially young fighters,

13:44throw that jab out as a range finder.

13:48That's really not in Leo's mindset.

13:53Yeah, that's going to be the question with Leo moving forward.

13:55Is the power going to be there?

13:58He's got the fundamentals.

14:11Keep in mind, this is only his 6th professional fight.

14:14True.

14:16And 7th for Giovanni Gonzalez.

14:18Gonzalez tested tougher.

14:23But how do you close if you're Leo Rubicava?

14:34Less than a minute to go in the fight.

14:48Gonzalez just...

14:49It would be good to go with the 4.

14:51Rubicava just is very good at keeping to the game plan.

14:58That was a really wonderful short right hand.

15:09So Leo Rubicava, looks like he's on his way to his 6th pro fight.

15:14Good rounds, good work.

15:17Jab Gonzalez to start the fight.

15:19Gonzalez just a tough, tough dude.

15:24Not going anywhere.

15:25Good action for the young fighter, Leonardo Rubicava.

15:32Much better learning experience this fight

15:34than that 82 second massacre of his last fight.

15:38And respect to Giovanni Gonzalez.

15:40Short notice, makes it difficult.

15:49So now we got to go get you that Robert Garcia jacket.

15:52I'll settle for a t-shirt.

16:04Oh, Leo Rubicava tonight.

16:08Yes, I'm sure he won all 4 rounds.

16:11Put together, he's a tough guy.

16:14He's a tough guy.

16:15Yes, I'm sure he won all 4 rounds.

16:18Put together nice combinations like that.

16:22Throws good, straight, clean punches.

16:25Very precise.

16:29Should I ask Robert right now if I can have that jacket?

16:31Oh, I don't know.

16:32I think my wife might throw me out of the house

16:34if I wear that jacket around the house.

16:36Come on in.

16:38He's got the zipper, Rich.

16:40You don't need a shirt underneath.

16:45Oh, maybe we'll get you a hoodie.

16:47Get that hoodie from Pita.

16:50That'll work.

16:51We need you a hoodie in Nevada.

16:53In Reno, yep.

17:03Judges, scorecards, this one should be fairly easy.

17:08A very tough Giovanni Gonzalez got dropped in the first round.

17:11Good for him.

17:12Took the fight one day's notice.

17:15Let's go to the decision.

17:17Sonny Franco lives here.

17:23Ladies and gentlemen, after 4 exciting rounds

17:25of boxing action,

17:27to the judges, scorecards, we go
