twitterTapia’s cornerman has license suspended
Friday, Nov. 17, 2000 | 4:51 a.m.
The brother-in-law of professional boxer Johnny Tapia, Robert Gutierrez, had his cornerman's license suspended for one year by the Nevada State Athletic Commission at its Thursday meeting.
Gutierrez, who worked Tapia's corner for his Oct. 7 fight in Las Vegas with Paulie Ayala at the MGM, was charged with striking Top Rank executive Todd duBoef in the ring following the fight. Gutierrez (and Tapia) were angry that Ayala was awarded a decision win and assaulted duBoef, whose firm promotes Ayala. DuBoef did not press formal charges.
Gutierrez had his license revoked by the commission until Oct. 7, 2001.
The NSAC also approved a Dec. 1 fight card at the MGM that will feature lightweight Angel Manfredy and welterweight Jose Luis Lopez. That card was approved in spite of the fact another card is scheduled for the same date at the Venetian in Las Vegas.
