ATLANTIC CITY– – Sensational knockouts was the theme during last night’s professional boxing card, presented by Boxing Insider Promotions, as only three of nine matches went the distance in The Showroom at Tropicana Atlantic City.

All the action was streamed live on DAZN from The Trop.

In the last of three triple-main events, hometown favorite Justin “Mr. Atlantic City” Figueroa (11-0) thrilled his enthusiastic fanbase with a fourth-round stoppage of junior middleweight Omar “El Charro” Rosales (9-4-1, 5 KOs) improving to 11-0 with his ninth knockout. The 25-year-old Figueroa came out firing and never slowed down, pummeling Rosales with left and right hooks enroute to his ninth pro career knockout.

Crowder is ranked No. 14 in the world by the WBA.

Heavy-handed Tennessee welterweight Avious Griffin improved to 16-0 with his 15th knockout, putting Adrian Gutierrez (12-4-1, 6 KOs) to sleep with a powerful right in round three, extending his KO streak to nine.

Here is what Gutierrez had to say about this recent training camp, his matchup with Louie Lopez, and more.

On his recent training camp: 

“Lopez is in a lot of trouble. I can’t express how wrong I am stylistically for him. Everything he has trouble with, I’m going to go hard at, and that is why I spent this whole camp perfecting and crafting the best game plan to take him out. This might be one of the last fights of his career with the way I am going to pressure him all night long on fight night.”

On his matchup with Louie Lopez:

“I give Lopez a lot of credit for being a tough fighter, and a true warrior in the ring, but I don’t see anything special in him, and beyond that don’t call this an upset when I win. I’m undefeated and should be the favorite. I have never lost. Louie Lopez is the challenger, and I am the fighter who is coming in here putting my perfect record on the line. I think it will be an exciting fight for however long it lasts, and I see myself as the victor.”

On what a win will do for his career:

“It is simple, I am coming to take Louie Lopez’s spot. I am the next guy up. I will beat him on Friday, and then move forward with my career, and would be glad to do it on Thompson Boxing shows as well. People see him as a prospect, I simply see him as an opponent. What this will do is simple – it will validate my career as a top prospect.” 

On fighting in the main event on Thompson Card:

“This will be my first time fighting in the main event of a Thompson Boxing card, and I can’t wait. I am ready to steal the show and have those watching see a new star in the welterweight division. This is my time to win over the fans.”

Rich Marotta will operate as the blow-by-blow commentator with expert commentary by Doug Fischer. Jessica Rosales will serve as the onsite ringside reporter.

ONTARIO, CA (November 15, 2022) – It’s fight week for Thompson Boxing’s “Path to Glory” show, where welterweight Louie Lopez (12-1-1, 4 KOs), of Corona, CA, faces his third undefeated prospect in a row in Adrian Gutierrez (12-0-1, 6 KOs), of Chula Vista, CA. Lopez vs. Gutierrez, an 8-round bout in the welterweight division, will serve as the main event of the evening.

“Path to Glory” will take place at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, CA on Friday, November 18th, 2022. Doors open at 6:30 pm PT with the first fight starting at 8:00 pm PT. Tickets are priced at $50, $75, $100, and $125 and are available for purchase by calling 714-935-0900 or online at 

www.thompsonboxing.com. Fight fans will be able to watch all Thompson Boxing fights, weigh-ins, and behind-the-scenes content, via their new mobile app downloadable on Apple and Google.

Here is what Lopez had to say about his recent training camp, his upcoming fight with Gutierrez, putting his undefeated record on the line, and more.

On his recent training camp: 

“I feel each camp is producing tremendous results. I am an old-school fighter with an old-school mentality. I’ve given a lot to this sport, but I learned when I lost to Saul Bustos, that just working hard isn’t enough. Now, I’m obsessed with winning, and improving day by day. I never missed a day in the gym or cut any corners in this camp. This training camp has set the tone for the rest of my life, as I see it as a down payment on my dream moving forward, and that’s to become a world champion.”

On his matchup with Adrian Gutierrez:

“Gutierrez is a really good fighter. I am not blown away by his record, but I know mentally he is coming to win and sees this as a big opportunity. He has never lost, and I have – so in some ways, he has an advantage in that regard, but I will show I am the vastly better fighter. I look at fighters like Daniel Roman and Timothy Bradley, Thompson Boxing had them fight tough opponents so they could be ready for step up fights. I want to be the next great fighter for this promotion, and in order to do that, I have to beat good fighters.”

On what a win will do for his career:

“I want to be taken seriously. I want to get into big fights. A loss really derailed my career in some sense, but the comeback has been fulfilling. It also made me a better fighter, so I am grateful for the learning experience, but it was very taxing mentally, physically, and emotionally. A win here continues my march toward the top of the division as I know who I am, but I must demonstrate it to the world. This Friday, I am ready to set into 2023 with a massive win!”

On fighting in the main event near his hometown of Corona, CA:

“It is no secret that I fight for my fans. I get a lot of local support and from everyone in the Inland Empire. At times it can cost me, but I don’t care. I love each and every one of my supporters and will not apologize for that. Thompson Boxing has given me the platform to perform and fight in front of all my people who enjoy watching me fight. When I am fighting in the main event of a fight card it is a great honor, and I take the responsibility to heart. My performance is what a lot of people are staying to see, and I am going to make sure it is a good one.”
