JANUARY 1958 RING: Light Heavyweight Eloy Tellez vs MW Santiago Gutierrez is our main event at Municipal Auditorium in San Antonio Texas. The Ring account of this fight notes Gutierrez as “San Antonio’s Rough and Ready brawler”. It cover’s Tellez full name, Eloy Tellez Vann. Only then mentions despite being outweight by 12-1/2 pounds Gutierrez scored the 8th round KO. Ring lists Eloy’s fight weight at 175-1/2. The Feb 1958 Ring annual ratings does rate Eloy as a Class C LWH at this time of his career. Tellez’s fight weight bounces up and down through his career fighting MW’s and LHW’s. Based on the one Ring rating found, rated him here as a LHW as BoxRec lists him. Tellez and Gutierrez fought twice in their careers, here in 1957 and then again in early January 1959. Both times, the middleweight Gutierrez stops Eloy.
TITLE BOUT 2013 – Where as Eloy managed to last into the 8th round of the scheduled 10 rounder in October 1957, our rematch has Santiago making very short work of Eloy. The slugging Gutierrez comes right out with the bell in the 1st round swinging away landing crosses, hooks and jabs. At the 2:10 mark he suddenly rains a combination of blows to Eloy’s head and body and Tellez tastes the canvas! Tellez somehow manages to get to his feet in 8 but he was looking very dazed. Referee Eddie Lopez lets the fight go on but not for very long as Gutierrez pins Tellez and with a hard straight right followed by a flurry of other punches, Tellez is stunned to the point of near dropping to the canvas. But, Lopez steps in between the fighters and grabs Tellez to save him from further punishment. Gutierrez is the winner by TKO at 2:48 in the 1st round!
