fighter simply runs into a better opponent and walks
away knowing he was outclassed by superior talent.
Then there are nights like Saturday evening at Barclays
Center where a talented undefeated young fighter manages
to lose the fight almost immediately, not because he
lacked ability, courage or preparation, but because for
reasons known only to himself, he abandoned the exact
strategy responsible for carrying him undefeated to the
biggest moment of his career.

Gustavo Trujillo's
Remarkable Journey Continues |

Few fighters in combat
sports today can claim success in multiple disciplines,
but undefeated heavyweight contender Gustavo "The Cuban

bare-knuckle fighting, Trujillo (11-0, 10 KOs) in
boxing, has simultaneously established himself as one of
professional boxing's fastest-rising heavyweight
contenders. Currently ranked # 14 by the World Boxing
Organization (WBO), the Cuban-born knockout artist
continues to build momentum as he pursues world title
opportunities while defending his status as one of
combat sports' most dominant champions.
