Former UFC Heavyweight Title Challenger Gabriel Gonzaga Wins Pro Boxing Debut
Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Gabriel
Gonzaga won his pro boxing debut against Alejandro Esquilin
Santiago via four-round majority decision at the DCU Center
Exhibition Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts.
"I thought I'd be more relaxed in the ring like I had been in the gym," Gonzaga (1-0) said. "I did my best and came away with a victory. I was too safe in the third round. My punches were much strong and a lot of his punches I blocked with my gloves. This was really great! tonight"
Gonzaga, 38, of Rio de Janeiro, has a mixed martial arts record of 17-11.
"I felt good and gave it my all," Santiago (0-1) remarked. "He hit me with some shots and gave 'em back. Not only does he have a big nose, he has a strong, big head, too."
