Having been spending my share of time inside of the Mayweather Boxing Club the past few weeks, I felt the need to again start branching out and hitting up some other gyms in the Las Vegas area in an effort to give some exposure to prospects in the city.
On Wednesday afternoon I paid a visit to the Pound 4 Pound Gym and linked up with lightweight prospect Jesus ‘Chuy’ Gutierrez, one of the most popular talents in the city.
As down to earth of a guy as you will find, Gutierrez has been making his bones in recent years by sparring the likes of Jessie Vargas, Mickey Bey, and the Magdaleno brothers while also appearing on several Top Rank undercards.
Prior to another exhausting session with his trainer Danny Garcia, I was informed by Gutierrez that he will likely be serving as one of Robert Guerrero’s chief sparring partners as he prepares for his May 4th clash with Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand.
Guerrero is also training out of the Pound 4 Pound Gym and has been working with another prospect in town, Lonnie Smith.
An interesting piece of news. Expect more updates in the coming days.
