“NEW ENGLAND’S FUTURE 4” RESULTS
Габриел Gonzaga (R) won his pro boxing debut
Worcester, Масс. (Аравдугаар сар 29, 2017) – Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Габриел “Napao” Gonzaga has a successful pro boxing debut last night (Бямба гариг, Oct. 28) in the co-featured event on the “New England’s Future 4” карт, Ривера Урамшуулал Үзвэр үйлчилгээ танилцуулсан (RPE), at DCU Center, Exhibition Hall, Worcester нь.
6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (Магистр), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, фирм (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! Өнөө орой”
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, бас.”
Үндсэн тохиолдолд, popular Hartford (СТ) гэрэл хүнд жингийн Ричард “Popeye The Sailor хүн” Ривера гийн ялагдашгүй хэвээр, improving his record to 4-0 (3 Kos), with a first-round knockout of an over-matched Hansen Castillo (0-3)
Ривера, 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. Шүүгчдийн Kevin Hope didn’t bother to count.
“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” Ривера тайлбарлав. “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 Энтони “The Animal” Everett (1-7), of Rowley (Магистр).
Danbury (СТ) бага welterweight Омар Bordoy, JR. (3-0, 1 К.О) stopped New York veteran Брайан “The Brick” Абрахам (6-31, 6 Kos) дөрөв дэх сүүлчийн шатанд. Abraham was decked twice and after counting to 10 after Abraham’s second time on the canvas, referee Paul Casey waved off the action.
Three-time national amateur champion Elvis “Chi Chi” Figueroa (3-0, 1 К.О), fighting out of New Haven, pitched a complete shutout over a game, дэмжсэн дебютээ Rene Nazare(0-1), Бразилийн, for a convincing win by way of a four-round unanimous decision.
Southbridge (Магистр) welterweight Wilfredo “Sucaro” Бөө мөргөл (3-0, 1 К.О) pinnedPatrick Leal (0-4), Woburn нь, on the ropes early, dropping him three times until referee Casey halted the fight midway through the opening round.

Worcester, Масс. (Аравдугаар сар 2, 2017) – Local prospect Бобби “BH3” Harris III is ready to breakout of the shadows cast by his father, retired pro boxer Bobby Harris, эхлэн Бямба гариг Шөнийн, Аравдугаар сар 28, in the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Шинэ Английн ирээдүйн”, DCU төвд (Exhibition Hall) Worcester нь, Массачусетсийн.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, Хоёр хэлтэс дэлхийн аварга Жозе Антонио Ривера болон түүний хүү, Anthonee (A.J.) Ривера.
“BH3” and A.J. grew-up together in gyms as sons of pro fighters. They had dreams of making it in boxing, which has come to fruition with “BH3” нэмэгдэж орд, A.J. the president and matchmaker for RPE. Үед, Хэдийгээр, what’s transpired may be somewhat surreal for both young men.
“I grew up in boxing,” Bobby Harris III explained. “My father always brought me to the gym and his fights. My uncle, Adam Harris, was also a pro boxer. My father and Jose were super close, me and A.J. grew-up as brothers. The same blood couldn’t make us any closer. It’s me and AJ. My first amateur fight was when I was 13. A.J. used to run and workout with me. I’d go to his house after school and sleep over on weekends. We planned our lives together in boxing; my job is to fight and A.J. promotes and makes matches.”
“I remember growing up with Bobby as my brother,” A.J. нэмсэн. “We did everything together: ran, trained, sparred and pushed each other to our greatest limits. He’s grown so much over the years. His natural ability, mixed with years of experience, and Bobby growing into a man will surely lead to him being world champion one day. I’m truly proud and excited to see our childhood plan unfold.”
“BH3” only had about 40 amateur matches but the large majority were at the national level. He is a two-time national amateur champion, including a gold-medal performance in the USA National Championships, and as a member of Team USA, he was rated No. 1 U.S нь, мөн ямар ч. 2 дэлхийн.
The 21-year-old decided to turn pro earlier this year, rather than wait for a shot at the Olympics, after discussing his options with his father, as well as Jose and A.J. Ривера, plus his head trainer, Роки Гонзалес. Worcester boxers such as Jermaine Ortiz болон Irvin Gonzalez turning pro, along with the arrival of now 8-month-old Bobby Harris IV, were key factors in his decision to become a professional boxer. “I didn’t want to waste another year,” Bobby admitted. “Turning pro now will get me into rankings earlier. The time was right”
Bobby’s father was a 4-time national amateur champion as a super heavyweight who compiled a 20-2-1 (13 Kos) pro record between 1993 болон 1999. Өнөөдөр, he is an important member of his son’s corner, but he did leave a shadow cast over his son, especially across New England.
“People will always compare me with my dad, цагираг нь, гэхдээ, as good as he was, it’s a great honor to be his son,” Bobby Harris III remarked. “It’s been nothing but good for me. He trained with fighters like (Оскарын) Де Ла Hoya, (Shane) Mosley, (Evander) Holyfield and so many other great fighters. We are different, Хэдийгээр. and now I’m establishing my own identity. The sport has changed so much since he fought. Back then it was mostly two guys beating each other up, not as much of a performance. I like to put on a good performance and have people say, ‘He’s cool, and when does he fight again. My dad has told me how different boxing is today compared to when he fought. Одоо, marketing is so important for fighters, and a lot of exposure is through social media.
“My father was a heavyweight, I’m going to go down to 154 (бага middleweight. He is so much bigger, taller and heavier than I am, so fighting in different weight classes separates us. I’m a different style fighter, бас. I’m more active than him. So that people don’t confuse us when talking, I came up with ‘BH3’ as my persona. We are different in and out of the ring.”
“I have known Little Bobby (as I call him) since he was born,” Jose Rivera noted. “He calls me, Tio (uncle) Жозе, and I love him like a member of my family. I am happy and proud to see little Bobby go after his dreams and goals his way and on his terms. I wouldn’t want it any other way. My son, A.J., and I are happy that we can use our RPE company to be able to help little Bobby pursue his dreams and goals. Worcester – and soon enough the rest of the world – will know it’s BH3 Time!”
“BH3” turned pro this past Оны зургадугаар сар 10, in his Worcester hometown, taking a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 X 3) over an awkward opponent, Родриго Алмейда, who seemed more interested in survival, often frustrating “BH3” with his constant holding.
“I’m happy with the way that fight went because I learned so much,” Bobby commented. “I was so excited with all the hype about my pro debut, and I was into the crowd trying for the knockout. I learned that I need to take my time, have fun, throw combinations and that the knockout will come. Dad liked to jab, I like to hit and run like ‘Sugar’ Рэй (Леонард). My first pro fight wasn’t really me. I’m the matador but I can fight like a bull if the opportunity comes to me. I can change things around but I forgot to have fun in my pro debut.”
“BH3” plans to breakout from his father’s shadow in his Oct. 28-р fight against New Yorker Troy Omer “KO Artist” уран бүтээлч (3-7-1, 2 Kos), contested at a 164-pound catchweight, in a four-round bout.
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 Kos), fighting out of Pembroke (Магистр), will face an opponent to be determined in the eight-round main event.
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Габриел “Napao” Gonzaga will make his pro boxing debut in a four-round match against Washington D.C. хүнд жингийн Alando Пуф (1-10-1, 1 К.О).
