Richard “Popeye” Rivera smokes Jaime Solorio in 8th round

HARTFORD, Conn. (Junie 17, 2018) – Rising Hartford folk hero Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera kept his pro record perfect (8-0) ongeskonde, knocking out his tough opponent, Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (12-4-2, 9 Uitklophoue), in the eighth round to capture the vacant ABF Continental cruiserweight title, gisteraand (Saterdag) in the main event on the “Veg Night at the Capital” pro boxing card, by Xfinity Sentrum in Hartford.

 

 

 

The reigning UBF All Americas light heavyweight champion, Rivera (8-0, 7 Uitklophoue) is arguably the hardest pound-for-pound puncher in New England, if not the entire Northeast. After breaking his last opponent’s ankle with the force of his power, the incredibly popular Hartford fighter

 

 

 

Boxing trainer Tony White and his Hartford Boxing Center gym partner, Michael Tran, recently teamed with Rivera to form Hartford Boxing Promotions, which was promoting its first pro boxing event, “Fight Night at The Capital.”

 

 

 

“I’m excited to have promoted our first show here in Hartford and I hope other promoters will follow,” Blanco commented. “I’m happy for all of the fighters. This was our first but not last show. We’re bringing boxing back to Hartford.

 

 

 

“I’m also excited about Sharrad’s pro debut (Collier), who is like a son to me, and Richie, my brother and partner. Everything I do is for them, that’s who I work for them.”

 

 

 

The durable Solorio had only been knocked out once in 17 pro fights going into the ring against Rivera, who has knock out six of his seven victims.

 

 

 

The first was a feeling-out round, but Rivera picked up the pace in the second, landing several hard shots on his game Mexican opponent. The highly entertaining Rivera cruised through the third through fifth, picking his spots better, but it was bombs away in the sixth as Rivera landed a right that sent Solorio to the deck. Solorio was penalized a point in the sixth for unsportsmanlike conduct.

 

 

 

 

In the seventh round, Solorio appeared to be fighting to survive, frequently holding and clinching, but he came forward in spurts as Rivera started loading up for a knockout that finally came in the eighth round. Rivera had never fought more than four rounds, but he was determined to ward off his opponent’s wrestling, landing a right-left-right uppercut combination to close the show with only 30 seconds left in the contest.

 

 

 

“I want to thank everybody for being here and bringing our community together in one house,” Rivera gesê. “Happy Father’s Day. I dedicated this fight to my father who I love so much. I told everybody that he was going down in three, but Solorio was tough. I took him in deep water and I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach…..toot, toot!”

 

 

 

In an intra-Connecticut clash of junior welterweights, Danbury’s undefeated Omar “The Beast” Bordoy, Jr. (6-0, 2 Uitklophoue) uitgeslaan Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-6-1), van Hartford, with only one second left in the sixth and final round of co-featured event.

 

 

 

Bordoy was hampered by a cut over his right eye, suffered during the second round from an unintentional headbutt, who was fighting in his first scheduled six-rounder. He pivoted and threw a short, straight right that rocked Picot, dropping him forward on the mat as referee Shada Murdaugh immediately waved off the count, calling the doctor into the ring.

 

 

 

A star was born in a professional debut as two-time New England Golden Gloves champion “Die spesiale een” Sharad Collier (1-0, 1 KO, fighting at home in Hartford, displayed his vast arsenal of skills, klop uit Antonio Castillo, Jr. (1-1) in die eerste ronde.

 

 

 

The 21-year-old Collier showed the poise of a veteran and surprising power, especially considering he fought two full divisions higher than his natural weight class, due to his opponent weighing in as a junior middleweight. Collier decked Castillo early and finished him off with a barrage of unanswered punches until referee Danny Sciavone gestaak die aksie.

 

 

 

“Everything went the way I had planned,” Collier said after the bout. “Before the fight, I knew I was going to win, because I felt so good. People were asking me before the fight how I was feeling and, to be honest, I was a lot more nervous as an amateur.”

 

 

 

New Haven, CT liggewig JANUEL Rosa (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an explosive pro debut, blasting an overwhelmed Roger Blankenship (1-3) around the ring until the referee Murdaugh stopped the action at the 49-second mark of the opening round. The 21-year-old Rosa dedicated the fight to his cousin, die laat Luis “KO King” Rosa (23-1, 11 Uitklophoue), who tragically died last January in a car accident at the age of 26.

 

 

 

New Britain, CT veergewig Nathan Martinez (1-0) had another very impressive pro debut, pitching a complete shutout (40-35) op al drie beoordelaars’ scorecards against Henry Garcia (0-2), despite it being an action-packed bout from start to finish. Martinez used lethal body shots, dropping Garcia with a left hook to the liver, and crisp combinations.

Junie 16 by Xfinity Sentrum in Hartford, CT

HARTFORD, Conn. (Mei 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera, will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All America light heavyweight title at home on Hartford Boxing Promotions’ eerste geval, “Veg Night at the Capital”, Junie 16ste by Xfinity Sentrum in Hartford, Connecticut.

 

 

Rivera (7-0, 6 Uitklophoue) has partnered with his trainer, Tony White, and Hartford Boxing Center gym co-owner, Michael Tran, to form Hartford Boxing Promotions and bring world-class boxing back to Hartford.

“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, natuurlik, I want a victory, but I also need to be impressive for me to be recognized,” Rivera gesê. “I’m all about boxing. My partners, Tony and Michael, take care of the business end of Hartford Boxing Promotions. I’m excited about fighting June 16ste and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. Nou, I want to expand my horizons. I have a huge following from our gym and church, but I want to bring non-boxing fans to our show to make them boxing fans.

 

 

“There’s no such thing as an easy fight. It all starts with training, which makes fighting easier. I may get an early knockout, but I always train to go the distance. My opponent has fought on television a few times against some fighters with good records. I know that I am going to be in a fight. I’ll be ready for war!”

 

 

This past April in New Hampshire, Rivera hit his opponent, Randy Campbell, so hard with a powerful right, that the force broke Campbell’s ankle only seconds into the contest.

 

 

“Fighting is a way of life,” Rivera verduidelik. “All the training and fighting, it’s for the love of boxing, not money. Fighting never leaves a boxer.”

 

 

Rivera originally got his nickname because, when he was younger, his forearms were considerably larger than his biceps. Fighters in the gym jokingly teased Rivera about his enlarged forearms, calling him “Popeye,” and the nickname has stuck. Nou, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. Junie 16stewill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.

Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera Finishes off Kevin Cobbs in 3 with super uppercut

“NEW ENGLAND’S FUTURE 5”
Amptelike uitslae
(pictures courtesy of Bonesprostudios)
WORCESTER, Mass. (Februarie 11, 2018) – Undefeated prospect Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera afgewerk Kevin “Die New England Bully” Cobbs in die derde ronde, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New England se toekoms 5” kaart, aangebied deur Rivera Promotions Vermaak, by Die Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 Uitklophoue) fought once again in front of his large, traveling fanbase from Hartford, CT, capturing the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) light heavyweight title in dramatic fashion. The charismatic Hartford boxer ended his third consecutive match with what has become his trademark right-uppercut.

Rivera used his strength, energy and determined will to defeat South Boston’s Cobbs (10-3, 4 Uitklophoue), whose previous fight had been more than a year ago, when he was stopped in the second round by now world champion David Benavidez.

In only his sixth pro fight, the key question going into the bout was whether Rivera was ready to effectively step up in class to face a more experienced Cobbs. Right from the opening bell, the answer was a resounding, Ja, as Rivera pounded Cobbs with powerful shots to the body and head.

Cobbs was dropped three times in the third round, one was ruled a push, and the end came when referee Jackie Morrell halted the action at the 2:51 as a reeling Cobbs was blasted backwards from the Rivera’s previously mentioned uppercut.

The beginning of the end for Cobbs (L) as Rivera sets up his vaunted uppercut

“I stepped things up in the third,” Rivera verduidelik. “He stopped throwing as many punches in the third and was ducking in. I said I wasn’t going to look for the knockout but, if it came, I’d take it. I got him with my uppercut. I respect Cobbs and thank him for giving me this opportunity.”
In die mede-featured gebeurtenis, tuisdorp gunsteling Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-2) fought to a four-round majority draw.
Super middelgewigtitel Troy “Omar KO kunstenaar” kunstenaar (5-7-1, 3 Uitklophoue), van Danbury, CT, upset intrastate rival Jose “Gegradeerde R” Rivera (4-2, 3 Uitklophoue), van Hartford, winning a six-round majority decision.
Danbury, CT junior weltergewig Omar Bordoy, Jr. (4-0-, 1 KO) used a blistering body attack to defeat Seth Basler (0-5) by way of a lop-sided four-round unanimous decision.

Junior welterweight prospect Wilfredo “die Sucaro” heidense (4-0, 2 Uitklophoue) floored veteran Bryan “die Brick” Abraham (6-29-2, 6 Uitklophoue) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. In die tweede ronde, heidense, of Southbridge, MA., drilled Abraham who went flying across the ring and into the ropes as referee Jackie Morrell halted the bout.

Springfield, MA junior middelgewigtitel Derrick “Stout seun” Whitley (3-0) cruised to a dominating four-round unanimous decision over Cleveland’s Roger Blankenship (1-3), pitching a complete shutout in the process.

Bridgeport, CT welterweight Joe Goss (1-0) turned in an impressive pro debut, dropping Montreal’s Samuel Vasquez (1-3, 1 KO) in the second round on his way to a four-round unanimous decision.

Puerto Rican junior lightweight Luis “Lobito” Rivera (4-3, 1 Uitklophoue) overcame a nasty cut over his eye to win a hard-fought four-round majority decision over Carlos Marrero, III (0-2), van Bridgeport, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA lig swaargewig Ray “bazooka” Graceski (5-0-1, 3 Uitklophoue) and International Muay Thai fighter, Harford’s pro boxing debuting Pawel Banasiak (0-1-0), fought to a four-round draw in an entertaining brawl.

Puerto Rican super middleweight Jelame Garcia (7-0, 6 Uitklophoue), fighting out of Lynn, MA., remained undefeated but Nathan Schulte (0-5), van Woburn, MA, extended him the full distance for first time as a pro en route to a four-round unanimous decision.

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “New England se toekoms 5”

Skryf 'n opmerking
“New England se toekoms 5”
Februarie. 10 in Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Mass. (Januarie 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, junior weltergewig Omar Bordoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10ste by “New England se toekoms 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), by Die Palladium in Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), in 'n vierronde-wedstryd. “My opponent is tough, and he always comes to fight,” Bordoy said. “He keeps coming forward and that’s going to make for an exciting fight.”
The 22-year-old Bordoy is the typical example of a volatile teenager who found his way in boxing. He was a high school football player who started boxing at the age of 17. Bordoy had an abbreviated amateur career, highlighted by his winning performance at the New England Golden Gloves as a novice boxer.
“I was a bad hot head as a kid,” Bordoy admitted. “Een dag, my cousin Edgardo, invited me to his gym after football practice and he beat me up. I was knocked down a few notches. I got into boxing and enjoyed watching Miguel Cotto en Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Nou, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I’m a come- forward boxer who can still brawl. I’m working on my defense and feel that making adjustments in the ring is what I do best.”
Bordoy, Jr. credits Team Bordoy — bestuurder A.J. Galante, hoof afrigter Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi en Dave McDonough – for his success.
“I’m pleased to be with the right people to bring me to the top and I’m willing to do what’s needed to get there,” Bordoy added.
Bordoy, who works fulltime as a repair technician, made his pro debut last May and he fought a total of three times in 2017, his most recent last October in Worcester on an RPE-promoted show, in which he stopped 34-fight veteran Bryan Abraham in die vierde ronde.
“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” promotor Jose Antonio Rivera opgemerk. “I am proud of Omar and his accomplishments so far. He is a young, throwback fighter with a lot of potential. I see big things in his future and I am glad to see he is being guided in the right direction by his team.”
In the eight-round main event, onoorwonne Hartford (CT) lig swaargewig Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 Uitklophoue) neem op Kevin “Die New England Bully” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Uitklophoue), fighting out of South Boston (MA), vir die vakante Universal Boksfederasie (UBF) New England titel in die agt-ronde hoofren.
