Medina Withstood Gutierrez’s Pressure to Protect Her
Guadalupe “Lupita” Medina defeated Rubi Gutierrez by split decision on August 15, 2025, at Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, California. The eight-round contest ended with scores of 80–72 and 77–75 for Medina, while the third judge favored Gutierrez 77–75.
The unbeaten prospect faced a persistent challenger
Medina entered with ten victories and no defeats, weighing 104.6 pounds. Gutierrez registered 106.2 pounds and brought a record of five wins, two losses and one draw into the assignment.
Their bout formed part of Tom Loeffler’s Hollywood Fight Nights card. Medina represented Maywood, California, while Gutierrez arrived from Coahuila, Mexico, seeking to end the young contender’s unbeaten run.
Gutierrez’s forward movement forced Medina to keep responding
After a measured opening, Gutierrez increased her pressure and found combinations in the middle rounds. Medina answered by boxing at distance, using her jab and movement while continuing to exchange when necessary.
Gutierrez kept pursuing power punches as Medina tried to prevent her from controlling every encounter. The contest remained physically demanding rather than becoming a comfortable showcase for the unbeaten fighter.
The final exchanges left the decision to three differing scorecards
Medina opened the eighth with an overhand right, but Gutierrez continued advancing. Both were still exchanging when the final bell ended the scheduled distance.
Two judges preferred Medina’s work, preserving her unbeaten record at 11–0 with two knockouts. Gutierrez fell to 5–3–1 after a competitive challenge reflected in the divided verdict and the narrow margins on two of the three cards.
