Former New England. 次中量級冠軍
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
日 “
Fight Night at the Bay” 卡,
presented by Granite Chin Promotions,
at Marina Bay Sportplex in Quincy, 馬薩諸塞州.
Silveira (12-1, 6 科斯), fighting out of Salem (嘛), will face former world title challenger 邁克爾· “冷血” 克拉克 (44-16-1, 18 科斯) 在八輪的主要事件.
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, 可惜, fell through. 然後, 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, 當然, 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 火柴, including six consecutive Central Mass (洛厄爾) Golden Gloves titles and two New England championships (he lost a decision one year to current world junior middleweight champion 德米特里安德拉德), as well as multiple Rocky Marciano Tournament gold medals to go along with those he won at the Silver Mittens and Junior Olympics.
現在 31 and having fought the past 20 歲月, Silveira is hungry to prove himself on a grander scale, 開始 八月. 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 競爭者 (televised realty show). My sparring partner back then was (已故) Jeff Fraza, who also was on 競爭者. 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. 現在, 我是一個拳擊手，沖床. 這場鬥爭, 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 (波士頓) 社區, and Derek knows that they will be out in force supporting him 八月. 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.”.
Many of NE’s other best and most popular professional boxers will be in action 八月. 5. The eight-round fight between three-time world title challenger, 次中量級 Aleksandra Lopes (17-4-2, 1 KO), of Marshfield (嘛), and former world super lightweight champion Lisa Garland (15-7-1, 8 科斯) has been elevated to co-feature because of its potential world title fight implications for the winner.
Quincy fighter 克里斯·特萊蒂 (23-4, 19 科斯) 面孔 Nick Lavin (4-5, 4 科斯), of Shelton (CT) for the vacant New England cruiserweight title in an eight-round bout. Traietti is also the co-promoter of “Fight Night at the Bay”, in addition to being a former World Boxing Council (WBC) United States cruiserweight titlist, college graduate and Iraq War veteran.
Fighting on the undercard in six-round bouts are Dorchester (嘛) 次中量級 加布里埃爾·杜盧克（Gabriel Duluc） (11-2, 2 科斯) VS. Norwalk’s (CT) Shaka Moore (12-23-3, 2 科斯), Quincy’s undefeated U.S. Marine veteran Brandon Montella (7-0, 6 科斯) VS. Florida light heavyweight “錢” 邁克·索耶 (7-8, 5 科斯), and Irreland-native and Quincy junior middleweight Paddy Irwin (3-0, 2 科斯) VS. Philly’s Demetrius Thomas (0-4). Holbrook, MA量級 Mike O’Han, JR. (1-0) takes on Dorchester’s (嘛) Daniel Amaro (0-2-1) in a four-round match.
所有戰鬥和戰士都受到變革.
