Fight career
Gorres began fighting as a professional on March 31, 2001. After winning 13 bouts in a row, he fought Edgar Rodrigo for the Philippine flyweight title on June 1, 2003. He, however, lost to Rodrigo by TKO in the 9th round which marked his first defeat.
One of Gorres' significant victories was his 1st round stoppage of
Glenn Donaire , brother of theIBF superflyweight championNonito Donaire onMarch 19 ,2005 . This was his first bout in the United States.About a year later, he won the
OPBF super flyweight title against Waenpetch Chuwatana.On February 24, 2007, Gorres got a shot for a world title where he challenged
WBO super flyweight championFernando Montiel in a bout held in Gorres' hometown. There, Gorres was deducted a point twice (one in the 10th and another in the 12th round) for holding. Montiel won the fight and defended the title in a disputed split decision.He fought former world flyweight champion
Vic Darchinyan onFebruary 2 ,2008 in an IBF title eliminator. The winner was to face then IBF super flyweight titlistDimitri Kirilov of Russia who would later be dethroned by Darchinyan onAugust 2 ,2008 . The match, however, was tarnished by poor refereeing and bottle-throwing from spectators who disliked it. The bout ended in a split draw. Nonetheless, Darchinyan won the right to fight for the championship because he was ranked higher than Gorres in IBF.Personal
