QUINCY, Massa. (Outubro 27, 2022) – In short two years, after signing a contract with Granite Chin Promotions, veteran New Jersey boxer Tyrone “Hands of Stone” Luckey has gone from journeyman to legitimate opponent with a promising upside.

“Guys like Tyrone have a special spot for me,” Granite Chin Promotions president Chris Traietti commented. “I’ve helped to build up his record, developed trust between us, and we’ll see where we go from here. He’s a big Dallas Cowboy fan and he really wanted to fight in AT & T Arena. He dreamed of fighting there and I got him on the Spence-Garcia card, and he got the biggest purse of his life.”

“He is a fighter’s fighter. Any promoter would be very happy to have 25 like him in their stable. His goal now is to make as much as he can over the next few years and get out with his health. He continues to trust me. He wants to be part of the team and I just signed him to a new 3-year deal. Tyrone has had a bit of a rebirth in his career.”

The former New Jersey Golden Gloves Champion had a 9-12-4 registro profissional, when he joined the Granite Chin stable, and since then Luckey has won six of nine fights, capturing the ABF USA Mid-American super lightweight title along the way.

“I had no choice but to get better,” Lucky spoke about his resurgence the past two years. “It first changed when I started going to Gladiator’s Gym for help with trainer Shawn Darling. My career in boxing changed since the pandemic started.

The 36-year-old Luckey (15-15-4, 11 KOs), fighting out of Galloway (NJ), is a throwback fighter back to the days boxers only asked when and where they were fighting, no pickin’ and choosin’ soft touches. Evidence of his admirable attitude is the fact he’s fought in six different weight classes, from super featherweight to super welterweight, during his 11-year-pro career.

“I’m not afraid of anyone,” Luckey said. “I fight guys others avoid, even some that world champions wouldn’t fight. I’m able to fight in different weight classes because I know my body and how to properly get done in weight. Agora, I feel comfortable at 140 libras, and I feel like I have a ton of power at 130 ou 135 libras. I’m naturally small, but psychologically, I’m always the bigger fighter no matter what position I find myself in.”

Luckey’s stock jumped in his last two fights, both against previously unbeaten Eduardo Aguilar, who was knocked out, respectivamente, in the first round and he couldn’t continue past the sixth round in their most recent fight, in which Luckey dropped Aguilar seven times.

A married man who is an endoscopy technician, Luckey has been saving his boxing purses to eventually buy a house.

“I plan to box until I’m 39, maximum of 40,” Luckey remarked. “I’ll call it quits and maybe become a trainer or pro bowler. I’m trying to get into a sanctioned league (he averages 215 and rolled a perfect 300 game in 2017)."

Luckey and Traietti, also a pro boxer, have a mutually beneficial relationship today. “Our relationship has always been great,” Tyrone confirmed. “I had a fight fallout and the matchmaker set me up with Chris, who was working a fight in Minnesota. He said that after the fight we could talk. He’s a good dude, great promoter. I’m glad our paths crossed because he’s put me in a new situation. I put my faith in him. It’s always love when we talk.”

“We hit it off right away,” Traietti concluded. “He’s easy to work with and will fight anybody. Para o seu crédito, he signed with me when it wasn’t really popular, not until 8 para 10 months later. Granite Chin has blown up and my some of my fighters have been performing on some of the biggest cards in boxing.”

Do you feel lucky? Tyrone Luckey certainly does and he’s finally cashing in on all his hard work and perseverance, fighting under the Granite Chin banner.

Much at stake for “The Come Up” headliner “Fly” Mike Marshall in “The Come Up” Day-Night Doubleheader August 28 em Derry, N.H.

MIKE MARSHALL.jpeg
QUINCY, Massa. (Agosto 17, 2021) – New England Heavyweight Champion “Fly” Mike Marshall has the right attitude as he prepares to headline “The Come Up” card, apresentado pelo Promoções Granite Chin, on August 28th at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

“The Come Up’ is the name of the professional card being held during the afternoon session of a day-night doubleheader, admissões separadas. The championship final of the inaugural “Granite Chin Invitational” will headline the evening portion of Pro-Am doubleheader.

Marshall (5-1-1, 4 KOs), lutando fora de Danbury (CT), who was supposed to fight on the Fury-Wilder III card July 24 em Las Vegas, which was postponed until October 9th due to members of Fury’s camp contracting COVID-19. Instead of playing things safe, avoiding risk and waiting to hear if he’ll be fighting on the rescheduled Tyson-Wilder III PPV, Marshall is fighting Jose “Olimpico” Corral (20-27, 12 KOs), in the August 28th 10-redondo, non-title fight main event.

“I was super excited to be on Fury-Wilder III so I could show everybody what I am capable of,” Marshall remembered. “When I heard Tyson had COVID and the fight was postponed, it disappointed me, but I got that opportunity and figure others will be coming. I stayed in the gym. I’m very happy Chris (promoter Traietti) got me on the card in the first place.

“This is the hurt business and I’m not one of those guys afraid of a challenge. Eu sou um lutador. The opportunity came up for this fight and I took it. I’m not one to sit at home waiting for a call. This is what I get paid to do. I’m focused on my job and not concerned about the uncontrollable.”

Marshall has won three fights in a row, all at the same venue as his August 28th luta, including his New England title-winning performance last November, when he took a unanimous 8-round decision from defending N.E. heavyweight champion Justin Rolfe. In his most recent fight this past June, Marshal fought 13-1-1 Steve Vukosa to a 10-round draw, for the vacant NABA – USA crown.

“Winning the New England title meant a lot to be because it’s my first as a pro,” Marshall added. “A lot of people thought that he’d win, and he was the defending champ. I went in there and did what I had to do and took home the belt.

“I proved that I could go 10 hard rounds with a veteran like Steve. A lot of guys on TV can’t do that. Eu pensei que eu ganhei, but he’s a veteran who is well known up there. I took care of business and imposed my will on him. Steve is a good guy; I gave him a lot of respect. I watched his training wars with James Toney.”

Rising New England prospect Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (5-0, 4 KOs), an undefeated welterweight from Holyoke (MA), is matched against 57-fight veteran Dewayne Wisdom in the 6-round co-featured event.

Nashua (NH) middleweight Mike Fontanez (Nashua PAL), a 2-time N.E. Golden Gloves Champion and 2-time USA Boxing Nationals silver medalist, takes on Portland’s (A MIM) Wade Faria (Portland Boxing Club).

"Breakout" Possível canto do cisne para Steve Vukosa, Hora do extrato para Mike Marshall

Deixe um comentário
QUINCY, Massa. (Junho 1, 2021) - O evento principal em junho 26th Cartão “Breakout”, apresentado pelo Promoções Granite Chin, corresponde a dois pesos-pesados ​​da Nova Inglaterra em direções opostas, Steve "O Gentil Gigante ”Vukosa (13-1, 5 KOs) e “Fly” Mike Marshall (5-1, 4 KOs).

O cartão da noite de outro doubleheader dia-noite de Granite Chin (admissões separadas) é encabeçado pelo evento principal de 10 rounds para o vago NABA United States Heavyweight Championship entre Vukosa (13-1, 5 KOs) quem possivelmente estará lutando pela última vez - ganhe, perder ou empatar — e o atual campeão dos pesos pesados ​​da Nova Inglaterra, Marshall.

Vukosa, lutando de fora Quincy, MA, é um ex-WBC dos EUA. Campeão peso-pesado, que ele capturou em 2019 quando ele venceu uma decisão unânime de 8 assaltos contra Joe Cusumano (18-2, 16 KOs). Durante seus 20 anos de carreira no boxe profissional, Vukosa ganhou uma experiência inestimável de sparring no famoso ginásio Wild Card Boxing em Los Angeles como parceiro de treino para campeões mundiais James Toney, Evander Holyfield e Wladimir Klitschko. Ele também dirigiu um ônibus do passado 15 anos para a Autoridade de Transporte da Baía de Massa, a partir de 4 p.m. e terminando por aí 2 sou., depois do qual ele faz sua corrida em. Mas ele está agora 44 com esposa e três filhos e seu relógio de boxe está passando.

“Ainda estou lutando porque amo isso,”Explicou Vukosa. “É difícil abandonar algo em que você é bom. Essa luta e pode ser o fim. Minha esposa ficará feliz. Meu corpo está começando a desmoronar: mãos, costas e joelhos. Eles têm me matado. Eu costumava ser rápido e rápido, agora estou lento. Eu só quero ter uma boa luta, ganhar, ou perder, mas eu quero ganhar. Eu realmente gostei dos dias no Wild Card, aquelas sessões de sparring eram como lutas reais, e meus dias de amador com o treinador Jimmy Farrell.

“Eu vi meu oponente quando ele ganhou o título da Nova Inglaterra, Fiquei impressionado. (promotor)Chris (Traietti) ligou perguntando se eu lutaria com ele, Aceitei porque gosto de lutar e um bom desafio. Estou ansioso para a luta. "

O Marshall de 36 anos, lutando fora de Danbury, CT, ganhou suas duas últimas lutas, ambos nos shows do Granite Chin no mesmo local de sua próxima partida com Vukosa, incluindo seu N.E. desempenho vencedor do título em novembro passado contra Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe. Marshall não está olhando para seu oponente como doido por causa da idade avançada de Vukosa, mas ele planeja fazer uma declaração de que, esperançosamente, vai dar a ele uma exposição positiva fora da Nova Inglaterra.

"Eu sei que ele é um pugilista veterano, um aluno do treinador do Hall da Fama Freddie Roach, que foi um lutador incrível por direito próprio,”Marshall comentou. “Isto é boxe, tudo pode acontecer. Meu trabalho é me preparar para qualquer coisa. Eu tive o sparring de melhor qualidade em casa com o No. 1 peso pesado amador, Fernely Felix, Jr. Minha equipe trabalha muito, Minha manjedoura, A.J. Galante, me pediu para ser mais afiado na minha última luta (3-rodada KO de Tracey Johnson abril passado), então eu fiz o que ele me pediu para fazer. Meu cornerman Austin Ampeoquio me mantém afiado com as luvas, e meus treinadores principais David McDonough e Bennie ‘The Jet’ Little faça um bom trabalho me empurrando também.

“Eu sei que Steve vem para lutar e estou ansioso por uma noite emocionante de boxe. Somos dois guerreiros frente a frente no ringue, dando um show para os fãs de boxe que realmente gostam do esporte do boxe, não esse lixo de celebridade do YouTube que está acontecendo agora. ”

“Steve teve azar após a vitória de Cusumano,”O presidente da Granite Chin, Chris Traietti, comentou. “Algumas lutas não deram certo, então a pandemia COVID-19 atingiu. Literalmente, tivemos uma briga na Alemanha no dia em que devíamos partir para o aeroporto. Depois disso perdemos muito fôlego com a luta de Cusamano e meio que tivemos que reavaliar. Ele começou uma luta de ajustes há alguns meses, mas agora temos que recuperar o ímpeto vencendo uma luta como esta ou, finalmente, fazer com que Steve cavalgue ao pôr do sol. Esta luta com o Marshall não será um piquenique. Ele estourou na cena local com algumas performances impressionantes.

“Como muitos vindo para a luta, Eu não tenho ideia de como essa luta vai acontecer, o que torna um grande evento principal. Uma coisa eu direi, apesar do que Steve gosta de fazer as pessoas acreditarem, no caso de ele ganhar esta luta, não será sua luta final. Zero chance disso! Se Marshall ganhar, Não tenho dúvidas de que ele terá uma luta na televisão em um futuro muito próximo em uma grande rede. ”

“Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Bola Kendrick, Jr. hits home run vs. Bryan Vera

Deixe um comentário

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N.H. (Abril 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, Jr. turned in a career-best performance in last night’s main event against dangerousBryan “The Warrior” Vera on the evening portion of the “Crossroads” day-night doubleheader, apresentado pelo Promoções Granite Chin, at New England Sports Center in Derry, Nova Hampshire.

The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 KOs) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 KOs) applied pressure, right from the opening bell. Ball took control in the second round, when he stayed in the pocket, snapping off crisp combinations. Ball fired more effective combinations in the third round as Vera started chasing his opponent. Ball started moving around the ring and fighting from the outside in the fourth and stayed on his toes the remainder of the fight.

Ball won an 8-round unanimous decision (79-73, 79-73, 78-74) to become the World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (Estados Unidos) Silver Super Middleweight Champion.

“This was my best fight, because of who I fought, and the magnitude of the fight,” Ball commented. “The plan was to box and move because he was much smaller and slower. At times I banged, when I knew he wasn’t hurting me, but I shouldn’t have taken the risks.”

The 39-year-old Vera isn’t the same fighter he was when he beat three different world champions –Andy Lee, Sergio Mora (duas vezes) eSerhiy Dzinziruk.  The Texan needs to decide if it’s time to finally hang up his gloves.

“This was awesome, definitely our best show to date,” Granite Chin’sChris Traietti declared after the show. “We feel great about stepping up to give these fighters, especially the locals, a platform to perform on in front of fans. I think a lot of promoters have gotten lazy. They gave us a lane and Granite Chin took advantage. This was our fourth show with fans during the last year. Brian fought hard and he’s a great guy, but he’s not the same guy he was in 2011. He needs to think about what he’s going to do.

“Granite Chin returns here June 26th with another doubleheader. The afternoon show will be the Granite Chin Invitational for open elite boxers. With the New England Golden Gloves canceled again there is a void to fill. If promoters are going to help amateurs, I certainly will, starting June 26th."

DesafiadorMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 KOs) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionRyan Dibartolomeo (3-2-1, 1 KO) via a sixth-round stoppage in an entertaining co-feature. A devastating overhand right from Bates gave him his new crown as the referee didn’t even count as the ring doctor quickly entered the ring.

Larry “Hitman” Pryor took the contract out onScott Lambert and he wasted little time taking care of business to become the New Hampshire Cruiserweight Champion. Pryor took advantage of his decisive height and reach advantages, closing the show with a perfectly thrown left hook that sent Lambert to the canvas. Lambert managed to beat the count, but the referee stopped the fight midway through the opening round when he saw Lambert wobbling back and forth on rubbery legs.

Lanky lefthandedFrancis “The Tank” Hogan (5-0, 5 KOs) graduated last night with a brilliant performance againstLarry “Slo Mo” Smith, who was in his 60th career fight. Hogan put down Smith early in the third round and caught the Texan late in the same round with a lefty-combination to the temple. Smith beat the count, but he was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round, and 20-year-old Hogan became the new New Hampshire Junior Middleweight Champion.

Former New England heavyweight championJustin “Crazy Train” Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 KOs) positioned himself for another N.E. title shot with a spectacular knockout ofAlfredo “Choncho” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 KO). The 263-pound Rolfe, fighting out of Fairfield, Maine, charged across the ring at the bell and put his Arizona opponent to sleep right in his corner, when he was counted out at the 20-seconds mark.

The newest member of the fightin’ Whitley family from western Massachusetts, welterweight invictoDenzel Whitley, cruised to his fourth victory with his fourth knockout. He drilledAquilandro Brandao late in round one and the fight was stopped by the referee.

InvictoJahye Brown (9-0, 7 KOs) captured the vacant ABF Athletic junior middleweight title with a hard fought 8-round unanimous decision over a game Mexican opponent,Dormedes Potes (12-4-1, 9 KOs).  The two fought toe-to-toe from the opening bell and Brown landed the more effective punches inside to earn the victory.

Promising middleweight prospectJulien “Black Dragon” Baptiste melhorou a 2-0 with his second knockout, blasting outBruno Dias in the third round.

Fighting for the first time in more than eight years, Fall River, Peso meio-médio MADustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 KOs) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAnthonyAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match. 

Middleweight júniorCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon duas vezes, the last closing the show late in the first round.

“Cannon” Berry stops Ibarra in 5

UBO All-America Welterweight ChampionBrandon “The Cannon” Berry (21-5-2, 13 KOs) successfully defended in the afternoon card’s main event, overcoming a slow start in which he was buzzed to stop challengerGael Ibarra (5-3, 4 KOs) in the fifth round.

Berry finished the fight in the fifth, when he unloaded twin barrages of unanswered punches on a trapped Ibarra until the referee waved off the fight.

“I’m glad it wasn’t a 4-round fight,” Berry said after the fight. “He was a strong guy. I was feeling it. He tested me. I want to thank my family and friends here, and Granite Chin and everybody involved in the promotion.”

No evento co-featured, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 KOs), em uma luta sem título, nocauteadoTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.

Popular Boston IrishmanJimmy Torney (3-0, 3 KOs) – 6’ 6”, 269 lbs. – needed only 42-seconds and one big right to stop pro-debuting heavyweightMarco Nascimento.

Os esportes ajudam a aproximar as pessoas e esta noite tivemos uma casa cheia de pessoas de todas as raças, religiões, e credos. Estou feliz que esses americanos se divertiram aqui esta noite.”

Justin “Trem louco” Rolfe foi coroado campeão dos pesos pesados ​​da Nova Inglaterra por meio de uma decisão unânime de 8 assaltos sobre Tracey “Titã” Johnson no evento principal.

Muito mais estava em jogo na revanche, embora, porque o N.E. o título dos pesos pesados ​​estava em jogo. Canhoto johnson, o meio-irmão de Andrade, encaixotado metodicamente, enquanto Rolfe, residente do Maine, avançou jogando bombas, e o contraste de estilos feito para uma luta divertida.

O evasivo Johnson começou a encontrar seu alcance na quarta rodada, conectando-se com combinações enquanto Rolfe parecia se cansar, mas ele teve seu segundo fôlego e continuou a ser agressivo, frequentemente prendendo Johnson nas cordas. Os dois lutadores pareados foram para frente e para trás na última metade da luta, embora Rolfe pressionou a ação e Johnson contra-atacou. Nenhum dos dois pareceu se machucar em nenhum momento da luta., Ambos se soltaram na oitava e última rodada, não deixando nada no tanque. O ataque ininterrupto de Rolfe acabou sendo a diferença neste confronto.

Ryan DiBartolomeo conquistou o título de meio-médio vago de New Hampshire, tomando uma decisão dividida de 6 rodadas sobre Kris Jacobs, no evento co-destaque. “Eu moro em Massachusetts mas todas as minhas lutas (3-0-1) estive em New Hampshire e eu treino em Nashua (NH),” DiBartolomeo disse após a luta. “Lutar em New Hampshire é como lutar em casa e agora sou o campeão dos meio-médios de New Hampshire.”

DiBartolemeo rapidamente saiu do canto e logo deixou Jacobs para uma contagem de 8. Jacobs passou pela primeira rodada, mas ele foi incapaz de evitar a forte mão direita de DiBartolemeo de balanço livre, apimentando a cabeça de seus oponentes, na segunda rodada. Jacobs acomodou-se no terceiro, acelerou o ritmo no quarto, e começou a soltar as mãos mais no quinto, pousando de forma mais eficaz em seu adversário agressivo. Os dois lutadores entraram em confronto direto na rodada final e DiBartolemeo fechou o show.

Campeão dos médios da Nova Inglaterra Bola Kendrick, Jr., lutando meio-pesado Tahuk Taylor, exibiu sua habilidade definida ao máximo, atirando em seu oponente para o tapete com um doce direto de direita, novamente com um lindo gancho de esquerda, e ele estava prestes a fechar o show quando o árbitroJackie Morell misericordiosamente terminou a luta com 13 segundos restantes para o primeiro round.

Peso meio-médio popular júnior Microfone “Homem mal” OHan, Jr. fez quase tudo, mas parou corajoso DeWayne Sabedoria, que foi penalizado por dois pontos e oficialmente chocado uma vez. Mas ele sobreviveu, embora perdendo uma decisão unânime de 6 rodadas desequilibradas para Ohan.

New England Ouro campeão Luvas Francis “Frank The Tank” Hogan demitido Sabedoria Rashan, que caiu na tela duas vezes antes de seu corner jogar a toalha. Hogan é um alto, canhoto esguio que é bem educado e agora 2-0 (2 KOs).

Em uma luta animada, invicto dos meio-pesados Edet “papai” Kpanam (4-0, 3 KOs) foi implacável contra um jogo Saul “Aranha” Almeida, um dos melhores lutadores de artes marciais mistas na Nova Inglaterra. Mkpanan derrubou Almeida nas duas primeiras rodadas em seu caminho para uma difícil decisão unânime em 4 rodadas.

Cliente em potencial leve de Boston Jonathan Depina ultrapassado De acordo com “A verdade profana” Desjardin, pisar nele cedo e acabar com ele logo depois com um tiro certeiro, melhorar para 2-0 (2 KOs).

Middleweight Anthony Concepcion venceu por meio de uma desqualificação no terceiro assalto quando seu oponente, pró-estreando Caleb Denham, ignorou as instruções do árbitro para continuar lutando.

Middleweight Larry “Slomoshun” Ferreiro, lutando fora de Dallas, registrou sua primeira vitória em mais de nove anos, tomando uma decisão unânime de 4 rodadas de Jesus “O suco” Cintron. Smith, de 41 anos, 0-39-2 durante sua seqüência sem vitórias, derrubou Anderson no primeiro round.


Larry Smith comemorou após sua primeira vitória em 9 anos

Texas meio-pesado Bryan Vera nocauteado Mike Anderson com uma grande mão direita no início da primeira rodada. Árbitro Leo Gerstel imediatamente dispensou a contagem logo após Anderson cair no tatame. Vera, que é conhecido por sua participação em The Contender reality show de TV, derrotou campeões mundiais Sergio Mora (duas vezes), então invicto Andy Lee e Serhiy Dzinziruk durante sua carreira profissional de 16 anos.

Veterano junior peso médio Penhasco “Mágico” McPherson não tinha truques para Tyrone “Mãos de pedra” Luckey porque ele foi desclassificado no segundo turno pelo árbitro Morrell por segurar repetidamente.

A abertura da noite foi uma luta cruiserweight entre Larry “Sicário” Pryor e Francisco Neto. Não demorou muito para Pryor, cujo primo era o atrasado, Hall of Famer Aaron “Falcão” Pryor, derrubou Neto com um gancho de esquerda bem colocado.

THE CHAMP IS BACK: referee Bob Benoit (L) and Jose Antonio Rivera

WORCESTER, Massa. (Agosto 19, 2018) – Seven years after his last fight, “O Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera returned to the ring in grand fashion last night (Sábado) a manchete “Regresso a casa, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment, no paládio em Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 KOs), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Três vezes, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Ferreiro (10-38-1, 7 KOs) from the opening bell and he never let up.

 

 

 

It took a few rounds for Rivera to wear off the rust, but he fed Smith a steady diet of body shots, gradually breaking down his opponent, as he won round after round on points. Twice in the sixth round it looked like Smith was done, but the tough Texan showed a lot of heart to survive.

 

 

 

Finalmente, Rivera closed the show in the seventh round, when Smith broke his hand in the fifth round and was unable to continue, kneeling in his corner, obviously in pain.

 

 

 

“I’ve always been tough,” Rivera said after the fight, “but I was a little rusty. He tested me early but, once he saw I wasn’t going anywhere and knew he was in for a fight. I started warming up in the fourth round. I was always a 12-round fighter. I didn’t know he broke his hand until after the fight. Eu me sinto ótimo. We gave a good fight to the fans who have always supported me.”

 

 

 

“I give myself a C+ tonight. I’m going to talk with my family, but I’m thinking about one more fight, to make it 50 for his pro career).”

 

 

 

Jose Antonio Rivera (R) had a successful comeback fight

 

 

 

No evento co-featured, Worcester super middleweight Bola Kendrick, Jr. (10-1-2, 7 KOs) demolished Fabiano “El Lobo” Valdez (2-4), flooring him with a right uppercut and soon after finished him with a vicious body shot for a technical-knockout victory in the opening round. The popular Ball was fighting at home for the first time as a professional

 

 

 

The rematch between Worcester junior middleweight Khiary Grey (16-4, 12 KOs) e Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 KOs) ended in the same fashion as their first encounter did three years ago. Also fighting at home for the first time, Gray blasted out his game opponent, cracking him with a picture-perfect, left-fight combination that put Fernandez on his back. Fernandez beat the count, but referee Bob Benoit halted the action.

 

 

Southbridge, MA junior middleweight Wilfredo “o Sucaro” Pagão (5-0, 3 KOs) permaneceu invicto, using a relentless body attack to drop Engelberto “Guarura” Valenzuela (11-15, 3 KOs) três vezes, the last ending the fight midway through the third round.

 

 

 

Springfield, MA júnior leve Joshua Orta (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an impressive pro debut in a barn-burner that ended when (1-8-1, 1 KO), of Worcester, was unable to continue fighting after the third round.

 

 

 

Worcester welterweight Eslih Owuso (1-0) pitched a shutout in his pro debut, decking veteran Bryan “O tijolo” Abraham (6-31-2, 6 KOs) duas vezes na segunda rodada, a caminho de uma vitória por decisão unânime.

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the night, 45-anos Jose Angel “KO” Ortiz (5-14-1, 2 KOs) desistiu Patrick Leal (0-5) 10-segundos de luta, once more later in the opening round, and stopped him in the second. Oritz, lutando fora de Springfield, MA by way of Puerto Rico, was fighting for the first time in five years, and he registered his first victory in seven.

Em 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, paragem Gilberto Flores na segunda rodada. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, cidade natal favorito Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.

 

 

 

In front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera capped his boxing career by winning a 12-round unanimous decision in 2006 over defending champion Alejandro Garcia(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.

 

 

 

“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. A.J., and I talking about chasing history,” Rivera explicou. “We are not able to put that together right now (A.J. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17th show.), but because of my hard work these last six months, I felt that it was only fitting to continue with my fight.

 

 

 

“Granite Chin Promotions has been very instrumental to make sure that this show is put together in the most professional manner possible. I won’t think our promotional company (Jos and A.J. own and operate RPE Promotions Entertainment) would have been able to pull this off. All the negotiations had to be done and me training the only way I know how, at a championship level, would have been too much for us to handle.”

 

 

 

Promoções granito Chin’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns adicionado, “When Jose and I started talking about his ring return, I was the last person to think he was crazy. We were friends during his championship days and I know how incredibly committed and disciplined Jose is. Eu lutei na 49 anos, not to compare myself to the level Jose has been on, but I know that it can be done. What everyone should know is how well Jose has taken care of himself during his thirties and into his forties. Did I ever think that Chris (Traietti, GCP co-promotor) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? Não, but I’m happy to be involved and I will support him as far as he wants to take this. He’s been training like he’s 25 and Jose’s going to surprise some people.”

 

 

 

During Rivera’s title reigns, unlike other world champions, he also held a full-time job as a court officer in the Massachusetts Trial Court, a position in Worcester that he still holds 17 anos depois. Between working and training, never mind his family responsibilities, Jose somehow manages to balance everything in his extremely busy life.

 

 

 

“Let’s just say it makes for a busy schedule,” Rivera remarked. “I am committed to taking care of my family and will do whatever it takes. I usually run before work and train after work. Starting early and finishing late makes for busy days, but the job needs to get done. Agora, I’m in the middle of the hardest period of training. The week of the fight is more about preparing mentally and making weight. There’s nothing you can do the week of the fight to help you get into better shape.”

 

 

 

Rivera isn’t under any illusions that his comeback will lead to another major world title. The plan is for him to have two more fights to reach a total of 50 como um pro, but he’s taking things one fight at a time, and he still hopes his next fight, tentatively slated for later this year, will be on the same card as his son’s pro debut.

 

 

 

Rivera last fought in 2011, taking an eight-round decision over Paul Mpendo, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. The battle-tested Galvan, his Aug. 17th opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Including Zab Judah, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., Jorge Paez e Paul Spadafora.

 

 

 

“I hear he comes to fight and that he likes to fool around a bit to try and get into his opponent’s head,” Rivera acrescentou. I’ve concentrated on me, my timing and focus on the game plan

 

 

 

“Training for this fight has been more mental than anything else. I have been able to reach peak performance at 45 training like I did in my prime. The most important thing is that, working with my trainer Sean Fitzgerald, I’ve been focused on making sure my timing gets better since it’s been seven years since I last fought.

 

 

 

“E, claro, it’s always a great feeling to box in front of my hometown fans. Their support is always appreciated.”
