QUINCY, มวล. (กรกฎาคม 18, 2017) – Former New England. แชมป์มวยปล้ำ Derek Silveira Is trying to make up for lost time, 3 ½ years of ring inactivity from the summer of 2013 until this past April, as he prepares to headline the August 5^th “Fight Night at the Bay” บัตร, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at Marina Bay Sportplex in Quincy, แมสซาชูเซต.

Silveira (12-1, 6 คอส), fighting out of Salem (แมสซาชูเซต), will face former world title challenger ไมเคิล “เลือดเย็น” คลาร์ก (44-16-1, 18 คอส) ในกิจกรรมหลักแปดรอบ.

The 31-year-old Silveira fought for a long time with bones spurs in his right elbow. He underwent surgery and later went to training camp in Las Vegas for a fight that, อับ, fell through. แล้วก็, as a worker for a moving company, he fell through steps, resulting in torn labrum in his left hip. It took a terribly frustrating 1 ½ years for his insurance company to finally approve the operation, which was followed, แน่นอน, by a lengthy therapy program.

“A long process,” Silveira said. “It was tough watching everybody fight while I was unable. I even had to watch guys fight for the New England title that I never lost in the ring but was unable to keep because I couldn’t fight.”

Silveira was a decorated New England amateur boxer with more than 300 การแข่งขัน, including six consecutive Central Mass (โลเวลล์) Golden Gloves titles and two New England championships (he lost a decision one year to current world junior middleweight champion เดเมตริอุ Andrade), as well as multiple Rocky Marciano Tournament gold medals to go along with those he won at the Silver Mittens and Junior Olympics.

ตอนนี้ 31 and having fought the past 20 ปี, Silveira is hungry to prove himself on a grander scale, ที่เริ่มต้น สิงหาคม. 5 with Clark. “He will be a good test for me for a comparison to where I was in the past,” Silveira commented about his veteran opponent. “Clark is a veteran who fights on his toes. I used to watch him when he was on คู่แข่ง (televised realty show). My sparring partner back then was (ช่วงปลายเดือน) Jeff Fraza, who also was on คู่แข่ง. It’ll be good to see where I am.

“I grew up as a boxer. I had huge legs, strong upper body, and good footwork. I played soccer as a kid. I lacked power. The last few years I’ve worked on my power. ตอนนี้, ฉันเป็นนักมวยเจาะ. สำหรับการต่อสู้ครั้งนี้, I will start out boxing – my endurance will be there – and then I’ll look to take him out in the later rounds. I want to look good and not get hit by his strong right hand.”

Silveira has one of the largest fan-bases in New England, largely from North Shore (บอสตัน) ชุมชน, and Derek knows that they will be out in force supporting him สิงหาคม. 5. “My fans travel,” he insisted. “Quincy isn’t too far from the North Shore, certainly closer than Foxwoods (Mashantucket, CT), and I had a lot of fans there. My fans are overpowering; so loud and a little crazy.”.
