00:00Ray as this one gets on the way you'll notice a size advantage for Adrian Sosa in terms of height and to put it politely Gutierrez a little bit softer than Sosa
00:28Gutierrez started his career at super bantamweight at one time challenge for the IBF title the North American title in 2019 in that weight class so he is coming up a long way now fighting exclusively between 135 and 140. I like what Sosa just did when he first came out everyone knows how the referee comes out and says touch gloves well Sosa came out Gutierrez put his hand up the touch and Sosa hit him we touched during the introduction that's right no reason to say
00:58touch now not obligated to touch gloves again Adrian Sosa trying to make up for some lost time he had three years off between 2022 and tonight also had two and a half years off during the pandemic so he's lost some time still only 30 years of age but Ray this is really the time to start putting the pedal to the metal to get going
01:14he definitely had to put the pedal to the metal you know he has a great record great style I mean he has a great following he had everything in the signing he just disappeared for three years you know he says a comeback I only call it a comeback when you continue this fight one fight to me is not a comeback let me see you continue this fight after this first we got to get this W today and then let's get back to the boards and get another one right away
01:39that last fight in 2022 for Sosa was in Australia against John Manu lost by majority decision Manu was 6-1-1 at the time he's now 15-1-1 so Manu kind of continued his progress Sosa took some time off for various reasons
01:53one of the biggest wins that Sosa had back in 2018 was against Kyrie Todd from Massachusetts from Lynn Mass Todd was 7-0 they fought at Foxwood's Casino and that at that time was the most notable win for Sosa
02:05and it looked like a rising prospect who could just take off and kind of strap the rocket to him and and see where it goes but those layoffs have slowed his progress a bit
02:14you can see Sosa it's like he never it's like he was in a time capsule he's still got that speed his body looks great
02:24he's calm in there he looks like he never left
02:28and the thing is Ray with the long layoff you never really know what the fighter's doing during that layoff
02:34some guys sit around some guys still train perhaps some fights some comeback attempts fell through and he had to stay on the shelf a little bit longer but it looks like he has been working and in the gym
02:43and like you said looks like in the time capsule like he hasn't missed a beat since that time off
02:48not at all he's very yes it's the first round yes only been two minutes and 30 seconds but
02:54he's impressing me sometimes fighters come out there fast and hard
02:58he's looking very calm collective speed wise sitting down on his punches
03:05Sosa in the pink and black trunk Scudierrez in the black and gold
03:09and Sosa looks patient possibly wants some rounds and some minutes
03:13yes that's been a long time
03:14you want to get some rounds those first round knockouts they look good but you want to get some
03:19rounds you want to get you broke the sweat you trained you want to get some rounds in there
03:25and Gutierrez can go some rounds 25 pro fights under his belt landed a nice little left hand at the
03:31bell and Gutierrez very well traveled Ray a lot of stance on that passport over the last two years
03:37Gutierrez has fought in Orlando Long Beach New York City Phoenix Myrtle Beach North Carolina and now
03:43historic lull so he has been all over the globe a durable competitor yeah a lot of mileage when it comes to
03:49fight and as we mentioned Gutierrez a lot smaller than Sosa and really a natural super bantamweight
03:54when he started his career and like a lot of fighters who progress through the years
03:58i think find a weight class where they can get more opportunities and certainly 135 140 more
04:03opportunities than there than that super bantamweight and that's where Gutierrez has settled into and for
04:08Sosa right back where he started will likely get down to 140 as that comeback progresses but tonight
04:14coming in here 143 on the scale yesterday Gutierrez was 145 and for Sosa good opening round Ray just
04:20patient but looks good you know just maybe one thing too Gutierrez you know this ain't his original
04:27weight class he could go down and back down and wait and probably fight Rodriguez and Alvarado sure
04:34why not pick up another another fight there
04:36Gutierrez has no stranger to tough fights nine of his last 11 opponents all had undefeated records so
04:48he's going there with some of the best and and again that that always may lead to a bit of a
04:52lopsided record but a guy that does come to compete
04:54fighting guys like that with interregs whoa what a beautiful left hook and the top over there right
05:02by run by Soto you know sometimes you take these fighters you know undefeated your body's getting
05:08pounded up there you know you're fighting the weight you really belong at that weight should i come back down
05:24like how Soto is very patient but he's still the hands as fast as anything
05:35Gutierrez throwing wide punches and Soto just coming straight down that middle and picking him apart
05:41you know it's worth mentioning Chure sometimes we look at these layoffs as a bad thing but at the same
05:45time at 30 years does not have as much mileage on him as other 30 year old fighters might have so that
05:50could work in his favor too like you said you know some fighters take some time off and what what
05:56have they done the time they took off they drink they pick up smoking they pick up vaping you know
06:03were they still training and running eating healthy it looked like Soto was was training
06:12halfway through round two this one's scheduled for six
06:15in the super lightweight division adrian sosa and the pink and black rather
06:22taking on giovanni gutierrez in the black and gold gutierrez coming in from nicaragua
06:29very beautiful he's coming sticking them hands up top and digging that left hook or right hook to
06:34the body he looks sharp right he's changing levels going to the body coming back upstairs
06:40not trying to go to the well with one thing too many times he's getting the rounds he needs them
06:44rounds you know he also sees like you said go a little chubby down the bottom let me work it there
06:50let me bring this guy into the later rounds and at this weight class ray there's a lot of action
06:54whether it's locally or it's it's nationally or internationally at 140 even maybe 147
07:00sosa can get a lot of work in a short amount of time oh definitely
07:08wow don't want to see so rushing though he's starting to pick up that pace getting hungry
07:16sosa feeling comfortable feeling confident trying to walk down gutierrez some fast lightning fast
07:22combinations it comes good years though trying to sling in that overhand right final seconds here of round
07:29two supposed to be very patient but not rushing in all right two rounds in the books again we're
07:38scheduled for six in this one and adrian sosa looking sharp you see some of the replay action
07:42it's like he never once in a while
07:50and sometimes ray as we mentioned we keep talking about these layoffs that fighters have and sometimes
07:55when they come back they come back with different corners they come back with different people in
07:58their corners yes different trainers for years adrian sosa worked with sean farley a well-known
08:03trainer in massachusetts he is not in adrian sosa's corner tonight and perhaps over that course of that
08:09time ray those two and a half three years maybe sosa was just trying to find the right fit maybe find
08:13the right place to train and and you know as well as anybody if you don't have the right people in the
08:18corner it's hard to go in there and really be your best yes it definitely is you know a corner this
08:24is you just can't pluck someone out and that's going to be my corner guy i mean when i was first
08:29coming to turn probably i was going to go to the peccinelli's i loved them i had a lot of respect for
08:35them but i was like it's not the fit for me it's not the fit so then i went to far river and i picked up
08:40living medeiros and we fitted real real well together for the 15 years i fought i think that's a great
08:46point you just can't pluck people out of the air and just build a dream team and what looks good
08:49on paper right it's got to be the right fit and perhaps now it's supposed to fix up the pace here
08:53that he's found the right team and the right team that can get the best out of him as he really
08:58embarks think about it part two of his career land some stiff jabs here too ray really emptying the tank
09:06he's i don't see that he lost anything no i mean he's looking beautiful he's patient
09:13he looks like he never left nice body blow that one hurt gutierrez yeah
09:21what i like about soto is that you know that one time i was hitting your body didn't hurt but it's
09:25going to accumulation of hitting that body it's going to work he's working both sides of that body
09:32to his credit gutierrez fighting back out of the corner
09:36a lot of guys might fall from that body shot he's still standing tall oh that triple left hook to the
09:41body yeah sosa though starting to really wear him down gutierrez having a tougher time getting
09:48off the ropes than he did in rounds one and two i think you're right right i think these punches are
09:52just accumulating again to the body by sosa i love it because you don't see body work at this volume
10:00enough sometimes well sometimes you know you see you know too much body work you know let their hands
10:07come up and down like work i tell everybody make it an elevator press every button on the elevator
10:13and make them crazy
10:18and as gutierrez is concerned he's not sure where the arsenal where these punches are coming from as
10:22sosa continues to work the levels nice stiff jab there by gutierrez still trying to keep him honest
10:27sosa trying to work in a left uppercut but he has he has his tendency of not having hands go and
10:34touching but soto's just picking on pies no contest here so far no and you're right he has to let those
10:41hands go otherwise he's just going to be a sitting target gutierrez is yeah and that's a beautiful
10:46another left hook to that body but with a little bit low that one turns him around and then scutierrez i
10:51think taking a knee maybe thinking it was a low blow it was a low blow and they're going to call it
10:57so a brief break in the action he'll get as much time as he needs but that isn't um the doctor in
11:04the corner that's the rough that's his corner man in the corner he's taking a five-minute break
11:11fighter has a chance to take a five-minute break here most guys don't as you know which is smart
11:18what the referee warning should be is to the economy staying on the stairs you can't be on the stairs
11:26as that's going on but gutierrez is going to get back in there final 30 seconds or so of round number
11:33three after an inadvertent low blow from adrian sosa that can certainly disrupt your timing and momentum
11:39so he's going to continue touching that body there it is again oh nice hook upstairs nice job turning
11:55sosa fighting on angles brilliantly in this fight
11:57he's still using that jab that stiff jab there's the bell nice little shot there by gutierrez he snuck
12:10it into the bell but otherwise a very strong round once again for adrian sosa you can see here the replay
12:16sosa is digging that body both sides him with the right hook there that almost you know causing to go
12:22down he's just working great body shots if you're sosa's corner through three rounds you're loving what
12:30you're seeing he's picking apart gutierrez may be some inclination to try to finish the show if you
12:36will for the hometown fans but nonetheless a good patient tactical approach from adrian sosa who's had
12:42three years outside of the ring as a pro making up for some lost time tonight getting the rounds in as
12:48you mentioned getting those minutes but at some point may be able to finish this fight you see the
12:52ringside position on the apron checking out gutierrez's corner making sure he can still continue and i
12:58think they'll let him go no that's the carnaman oh it is yeah that's the the fish the ringside
13:04fishing is the one standing up outside he just sat down that's the carnaman that's in the corner
13:11that's why i said i stand corrected he's on the he's on the stairs like that's disqualification you can't be
13:17honest you would think he was the doctor the way he was standing there all right round number four
13:21underway this one again scheduled for six michael parenti and sukwa ray olivera bringing you all
13:26the action from mill city mayhem we thank you for joining us on swear of combat still plenty of
13:31action to come the big three as we mentioned in the pre-show that kicks off next after this bout
13:36with mike fontanez in the middleweight division so don't go anywhere still a lot of action
13:41ces boxing once again bringing you the best in new england undisputed hands down
13:47another great fight card nice little look out there by adrian sosa really wearing down giovanni
13:54gutierrez a lot of body work right in this fight i mean don't don't break don't fix it ain't broken
14:00the body works working but i like to see sosa you know don't lay on him just sit back
14:06and do it do what you was doing gutierrez is just shoving sosa off him i agree ray he's close
14:14sometimes a little too close where he just can't extend those hands but those short hooks are working
14:19too i mean he caught the first three rounds perfectly on the outside just taking him apart
14:28don't don't don't pressure it just stand back this is what gutierrez want this is the kind of fight
14:33gutierrez would like to have in the phone booth if anything it gives gutierrez a chance to tie up
14:38if he's getting hit too hard and taking too many shots and you don't want to give your opponent an
14:43opportunity to grab on and clinch like he's trying to do right here keep that distance use that jab and
14:49those opportunities will open up and sosa has done it masterfully in this fight
14:53using his head there i love that just over a minute to go in round four again we're scheduled
15:03for six here in the super lightweight division the long awaited comeback well return i should stand
15:09corrected you said a comeback's not a comeback until you get a few under the belt so the long
15:13awaited return of adrian sosa as again he digs to the body against gutierrez he stepped back and that's
15:19what worked that bar you know maybe it's part of his game plan to lay on him then step back and take
15:35as you mentioned it's just hard to get that distance finder it's harder to me to throw those
15:41short hooks on the inside but it's 18 by 18 foot ring inside use it all use it
15:45sosa in the pink and black chunks gutierrez in the black and the gold and once again you're watching
15:53us live on swerve combat from the beautiful historic lowell memorial auditorium here in lowell
16:00massachusetts got away from that jab and all he's doing is digging a body which you know it's good
16:06you like we said we want someone to dig the barbers a little bit there too much yeah i think he feels
16:11comfortable doing it like you said he notices that good you're a little bit softer on the midsection
16:16again this is a super bantamweight fighting at welterweight or super lightweight so there's a
16:21big discrepancy in size but so far sosa doing all the right things here against gutierrez ray and
16:28we go into the final two rounds of this flight potentially through six but right now we're
16:33getting ready for round number five and what can sosa do here to pick up the pace does he need to maybe
16:37just step back a little bit and maybe try to get some power behind some of those shots you know he's doing
16:43everything he can you know i would like him to step back a little bit fight from a distance then work
16:50that body instead of laying on and continue just pounding that body because are you winning either
16:55way you're winning but what you're jeopardizing you might get ahead and both guys are rubbing heads get
17:02a cut and then you got to set out another month to heal a cut that's a very good point you just don't
17:07want to do anything that could spoil this return fight if you're adrian sosa but so far it's very
17:13hard to find much wrong with his approach tonight he's done it all and by all accounts pitching a
17:17shutout here through four rounds barring anything crazy on the scorecards but it's been all adrian
17:22sosa in this fight as we get round number five on the way see i love that sort of that jab that's what
17:29he didn't come out that last round just this round here round five that jab you already threw like six
17:35jabs already and for those of you watching us on home that stunned him there's some great body work
17:41and it looks like we're going to stop it that's going to do it sosa i think almost took a shot at
17:50the official as he waved it off i think he wasn't expecting it to get waved off there i think the
17:55referee doing the right thing there he saw that gutierrez was just taking continuous punishment over
17:59the course of this fight you see sosa's corner just explaining yeah no harm no foul a little pent up
18:06aggression and energy and i think sometimes the fighter you feel a hand on the shoulder you you just
18:11react naturally but nonetheless a knockout victory for adrian sosa in his long-awaited comeback fight
18:19you can see here that his first six punches were jabs and the right hand came right over the top
18:26then oh yeah sosa shoved the referee off a little interesting there but nonetheless no harm no foul
18:33apologies exchange all's good and adrian sosa gets the victory so impressive performance ray in his
18:38return of the ring after a three-year layoff and maybe he just wanted to keep going who knows
18:44and continue to punish his opponent but i think the referee stepped in there at the right time
18:48gutierrez he definitely stepped in right now you know no threat to win that play yeah but you know
18:53you don't do that to the ref you know let it let it go don't do it again apologize to the referee
18:58apologize promoter and uh let's get you going again and as far as gutierrez was concerned he hung in
19:05there as best he could but again no real threat to come back and win this fight why let him take
19:10more damage than necessary so sosa gets the victory let's get the particulars and for that we're going
19:14to send it back up to our ring announcer of steve maynes
