Gabriel Gonzaga (Ε) won his pro boxing debut
WORCESTER, Μάζα.

Η 6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (ΜΑ), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, της Τάμπα (FL). Gonzaga stalked the southpaw Santiago, landing some hard shots in the opening round. The heavy-handed Gonzaga picked up the pace in the third and his upset-minded opponent responded in a positive fashion. Both fighters exchanged freely in the fourth and final round, neither was hurt during the contest, and Gonzaga was awarded a win by four-round majority decision.
“I thought I’d be more relaxed in the ring like I had been in the gym,” Gonzaga said. “I did my best and came away with a victory. I was too safe in the third round. My punches were much strong and a lot of his punches I blocked with my gloves. This was really great! απόψε”

Gonzaga (L) defeated Santiago
“I felt good and gave it my all,” Santiago remarked. “He hit me with some shots and gave ’em back. Not only does he have a big nose (“Napao”), he has a strong, big head, πολύ.”
Στο κύριο γεγονός, popular Hartford (CT) ελαφρύ βαρέων βαρών Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Ριβέρα παρέμεινε αήττητος, βελτιώνοντας το ρεκόρ του 4-0 (3 KOs), with a first-round knockout of an over-matched Hansen Castillo (0-3)
Ριβέρα, not relations to the promoter, first dropped Castillo with a beautifully placed left uppercut and finished the show moments later with a left hook that sent Castillo flying to canvas. Διαιτητής Kevin Hope didn’t bother to count.
“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” Rivera εξήγησε. “I saw that he had his left down and caught him with an uppercut. I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach.”
New Haven junior middleweight Edwin Sosa (11-2-2, 4 KOs) overcame at 15-pound disadvantage, at the very least, en route to a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Αντώνιος “The Animal” Everett (1-7), of Rowley (ΜΑ).
Danbury (CT) κατώτερο welterweight Omar Borðoy, Jr. (3-0, 1 KO) stopped New York veteran Bryan “The Brick” Αβραάμ (6-31, 6 KOs) in the fourth and final round. Abraham was decked twice and after counting to 10 after Abraham’s second time on the canvas, διαιτητής Paul Casey waved off the action.
Three-time national amateur champion Elvis “Chi Chi” Figueroa (3-0, 1 KO), fighting out of New Haven, pitched a complete shutout over a game, pro-Κάνει το ντεμπούτο του Rene Nazare(0-1), της Βραζιλίας, for a convincing win by way of a four-round unanimous decision.
Southbridge (ΜΑ) welterweight Wilfredo “η Sucaro” Ειδωλολατρικός (3-0, 1 KO) pinnedPatrick Leal (0-4), του Woburn, on the ropes early, dropping him three times until referee Casey halted the fight midway through the opening round.

New boxing chapter to start for former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga

Οκτώβριος 28 στο Worcester, ΜΑ
WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Οκτώβριος 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger Γαβριήλ “Napao” Gonzaga starts October 28ου when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” κάρτα, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) στο Worcester, Μασαχουσέτη.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, δύο διαίρεση παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Jose Antonio Rivera και ο γιος του, Anthonee (Α.Ι.) Ριβέρα.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (ΜΑ). An imposing physical fighter, το 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 KOs, 9 SUBs, 1 Δεκέμβριος), κατέχει 4ου degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, Βρετανία, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Μίρκο Κρο with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture in his next fight.
Gonzaga, who retired from MMA 1 ½ years ago, also defeated Ben Rothwell, Shawn Jordan και Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-R) – Rocky Gonzalez & Gabriel Gonzaga
Gonzago has a new opponent for his four-round bout, Tampa’s pro-debuting Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, who also has a pro MMA background.
“I like challenges in my life,” Gonzaga explained why he’s making his pro debut. “I set new goals because I like to be competitive in sports. I have a good boxing coach who told me I should try. I was a BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu,) world champion and UFC title contender. I have good boxing skills and plan to put on a good show. I do have one-punch power and hit hard.
“I started boxing in 2001 and worked at it every day for two years to learn, but then I was competing in MMA. Τώρα, I’m focused on boxing. I think boxing is the hardest part of MMA. I know you can’t make mistakes in boxing and there’s no time to relax. Στο ΜΜΑ, I could relax a little at times in clinches, but the referee won’t allow that in boxing. I’ll probably fight more than once but not too many because of my age and I’m not really at the high-level of boxing like I was in MMA.”
Gonzaga’s head boxing trainer, Rocky Gonzalez, has been working with several MMA fighters, including Gonzaga, for more than a decade to help them improve their striking skills. Gonzalez freely admits that Gonzaga knew how to box before he started working with him, crediting Gonzaga’s Muay Thai coach, and that boxing came naturally to the big Brazilian who has made an easy adjustment from the Octagon to the ring. Gonzalez also feels that leg positioning differences for MMA fighters switching to boxing, in terms of throwing proper punches, is somewhat overrated.
“Στην πυγμαχία,” Γκονζάλες είπε, “fighters need their hands like their legs and elbows in MMA. Distance and timing is more important than where their legs and feet are positioned. Gabriel doesn’t like sparring with headgear, έτσι, his sparring is more like real fighting. He’s been hot with some real shots but he’s responded well. He’s always going to have a puncher’s chance and he’s deceptive because he doesn’t look as fast as he is.
“We didn’t really plan anything but he got this good opportunity. He’s always wanted to turn pro as a boxer and go from there. Gabriel is a good listener who keeps working hard to get better. When he first brought up boxing, he was contracted by the UFC, but we started talking about him boxing after the UFC released him. He knew Jose from him teaching boxing. Gabriel isn’t doing this for the money. He’s a competitive guy who wanted to try boxing.”
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion, Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOs), fighting out of Pembroke (ΜΑ), will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Σαούλ “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 KOs) στο οκτώ-στρογγυλό κύριο γεγονός.

Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita boxes in his own unique way

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
Οκτώβριος 28 στο Worcester, ΜΑ
WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Οκτώβριος 12, 2017) – Once-beaten Vinnie “American Dream” Carita is preparing in an entirely different way than all other fighters on the October 28ου “New England Future 4” κάρτα, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) στο Worcester, Μασαχουσέτη.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, δύο διαίρεση παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Jose Antonio Rivera και ο γιος του, Anthonee (Α.Ι.) Ριβέρα.
“I am happy to have a dedicated, hard-working boxer like Vinnie Carita headlining our boxing event on Σάββατο, October 28th στο DCU Center,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “He is a perfect example of why my son, Α.Ι., and I started RPE. We want to be able to help boxers grow their careers and create a platform for them to get bigger and better opportunities.”
A former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion,Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOs) will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Σαούλ “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 KOs) στο οκτώ-στρογγυλό κύριο γεγονός.
Carita, fighting out of Pembroke (ΜΑ), will move up in weight once again to fight another foreign opponent. In the world of boxing, not only does Carita fight, he’s his own promoter, διευθυντής, trainer and matchmaker. Outside of the ring, Carita is a fulltime court officer in Brockton (ΜΑ), as well as a part-time security contractor for the Department of Defense (DOD).
Although his incredibly busy schedule leaves little, if any, downtown to relax, Carita thrives because he’s so dedicated, disciplined and driven. He starts each day at 4 π.μ.., running or doing cardio exercising, works his day job, and hits the gym to train between 9-10 μ.μ. on a regular basis for a scheduled fight. When he’s had some free time to travel, Vinne has gone to New York, Philadelphia and even Montreal for quality sparring.
He started boxing at seven, when he first walked into a gym, and captured a Southeast Regionals Golden Glove title but, στο 14, only boxed sporadically, until he turned pro at 20. “I definitely have a passion for boxing,” the 32-year-old confessed. “I’m a boxing fanatic. If I’m not training, I’m watching fights, live or on television. It’s my love. Boxing will always be part of me and when I finally hang up my gloves, I want to be a referee, so I can still be in the ring, and have the best seat. Δεν θέλω να κρίνω. Bigger guys last longer than smaller fighters. I want to continue doing this until by late thirties, maybe early forties.
“I fell in love with the cruiserweight division when I saw the (Βασίλι) Jirov-(James) Toney πάλη (at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut). The cruiserweight division is hot right now with the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (Oleksandr) Usyk could win the tournament, unifying all four major belts, and then move up to heavyweight. That could be good for me if I was one of the eight fighting for one of the four vacant (major) τίτλων. I’ll look for the right fights until then, against guys who’ve been around and maybe competed for world or regional titles, like my next opponent (Faraff), who is the WBC Latino heavyweight champion.”
Carita, who occasionally is forced to fight as a heavyweight as he will against Faraff, will still weigh in around 200-205 λίρες. He walks around at 208 and usually weighs in at 194-196 for his cruiserweight fights. “I have no plans to compete as a heavyweight,” είπε. “I’ve fought some heavyweights and it looks better for me to go the distance, or stop, guys much bigger than me. I try and pick the right guys to advance my career.”
Why has Carita fought so many opponents from countries all over the world? Networking. His job with the DOD, before he started working as a court officer, found him traveling around the world. Wherever he went – Νότια Αφρική, Dubai, Βόρεια Ιρλανδία, κ.λπ.. – he worked out at boxing gyms and made invaluable connections, establishing working relationships with many managers and matchmakers who he’s remained in contact with throughout his pro boxing career.
Because he trains himself, Carita only has one regular person working his corner, Pittsfield (ΜΑ) court officer John Felix, who he first met when they were drill instructors at the academy. Carita adds a cut-man for his fight but he tends to keep things lean and mean, even in his corner.
Nobody knows better or appreciates more what promoter Jose Antonio Rivera accomplished when he was world champion working full-time as a court officer in Worcester.
“To work full-time, raise children, train to be a world-class fighter and become world champion three times speaks volumes about Jose,” Carita commented. “Τώρα, he’s promoting and putting guys like me on his shows.”
“I understand perfectly how hard and demanding his schedule is working a fulltime job as a court officer and training to try to achieve his goals of fighting for and winning world championship,” Rivera added. “I am glad Vinnie has chosen to give RPE an opportunity to be able to help him get closer to achieving his dream.”
Στο συν-χαρακτηρισμένη εκδήλωση, Hartford’s (CT) popular Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Ριβέρα (3-0, 2 KOs) πληροί Hansen Castillo (0-2) in the four-round bout to be contested at a 180-pounds catch-weight.

ΑΠΟΣΠΑΣΜΑΤΑ ΣΥΝΕΝΤΕΥΞΗ ΤΥΠΟΥ
Vinnie Carita: “I saw the last (RPE) show and it was great. I’m happy to be on this show. This is a great show with a lot of New England talent. There’s going to be fireworks!”
Matt Remillard: “Ήμουν σε (RPE’s) last fight and it sold out. That’s awesome. They’re making boxing better, not only in Worcester, but throughout New England. Απρίλιος 1, 2005, I turned pro. I never fought in Worcester before. It’s a great atmosphere. This has been a long time coming, six years I’m going to punish him for. It will not go the distance, I can promise that. He won’t recognize himself after the fight. After I knock him down, I hope he gets back up because I want to punish him. This isn’t a game. I’m in the hurt business.”
Augustine Mauras: “I truly thank Matt Remillard for fighting somebody like me. I’m not an easy cookie. He’s going to be in the toughest fight of his life. I’m going to put you (Remillard) on his ass. I’m here to fight this man! It’s going to be a helluva fight.”
Jose Antonio Rivera, CEO/promoter: “I appreciate the support we received for our last show and we’re looking ahead to booking our next show in June. I can’t really say anything about that, ακόμη. I want to thank our sponsors. My roots are here in Worcester and that’s why so many of the fighters on this show are from here. We aren’t signing fighters, just giving them a platform to fight. Είμαστε ευτυχείς, τώρα, helping to provide them with a platform to go on to bigger and better things. Rivera Promotions Entertainment hopes to move fighters and allow them to showcase their skills. We’re very happy about this show. Remillard versus Mauras alone is worth the price of admission.”
Anthonee Rivera, President/matchmaker: “It’s been a lot of fun for us so far. We’re proud to bring boxing back to New England. There are a lot of great fighters on our April 1st card with top prospects, former Golden Gloves champs, top fighters like Matt Remillard and future world champions. All of these guys took the opponents they were offered, no cherry-picking, and that shows what kind of fighters they really are. Έχουμε 13 fights and don’t blink during any one of them.”
Bryan Daniels: “I’m a student of Worcester boxing and Jose Rivera was the most established fighter. He came from nothing to become world champion. Never in a million years did I think I’d be fighting on his card. I’m humbled. I was hoping to get an opponent with experience to bring the best out of me. This will be my first time fighting in Worcester to showcase my skills. I’m originally from Illinois but Worcester has a lot to offer, including Rivera Promotions Entertaining giving us a platform.”
Άντονι Λαουράνο: “I’m very thankful to be fighting on another Rivera Promotions Entertainment card. They did an awesome job last show and I’m grateful to be fighting again on their card. This will be a big test. Rivera Promotions gave me a platform to be signed by Star Boxing. Jose Rivera was a fighter and he knows what we need.”
Andino Ranse: “I have a fulltime job, go to the gym, and take care of my son. I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment for allowing me to fight. I also want to thank Carlos Garcia, he’s the man! Jose’s been my idol since I first stepped into the gym.”
Neal Sullivan: “I grew up with AJ and Jose has always been good to me. I wouldn’t be fighting if I didn’t trust them. They look out for fighters. I’m a student of the game and know the history of Worcester boxing. I look forward to bringing it Απρίλιος 1st.”
Derrick Whitley: “My father was a professional boxer and I’ve been around boxing my whole life watching him. Αυτό είναι ο χρόνος μου, the beginning of my journey.”
Luis Santiago: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment this opportunity. I’ve been ready since the last show (his opponent failed the pre-fight medical exam) and haven’t stopped working. Απρίλιος 1st will be the start of my pro career. It’s going to b e a great show and I’m going to end-up with a win.”
Mykqyan Williams: “Είμαι πολύ ενθουσιασμένος. Κατάρτιση στρατόπεδο ήταν εξαιρετική. Ματ (Remillard) and myself have helped each get ready. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show.”
