Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga Victorious in pro boxing debut
“NEW ENGLAND’S FUTURE 4” RESULTS
Габріель Гонзага (R) won his pro boxing debut
Вустер, Маса. (Жовтень 29, 2017) – Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Гавриїл “Napao” Gonzaga has a successful pro boxing debut last night (Субота, Жовтень. 28) in the co-featured event on the “New England’s Future 4” карта, представлений Rivera Акції Розваги (РПЕ), at DCU Center, Exhibition Hall, в Вустере.
6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (Массачусетс), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, Тампа (Флорида). 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! сьогодні ввечері”
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, теж.”
У головній події, popular Hartford (Коннектикут) напівважку вагу Річард “Папай Морячок Людина” Рівера залишився непереможеним, improving his record to 4-0 (3 КО), with a first-round knockout of an over-matched Hansen Castillo (0-3)
Рівера, 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. Суддя Kevin Hope didn’t bother to count.
“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” Рівера пояснив. “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 КО) overcame at 15-pound disadvantage, at the very least, en route to a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Ентоні “The Animal” Everett (1-7), of Rowley (Массачусетс).
Danbury (Коннектикут) в першій напівсередній Омар Бора, Молодший. (3-0, 1 KO) stopped New York veteran Брайан “The Brick” Авраам (6-31, 6 КО) in the fourth and final round. 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” Фігероа (3-0, 1 KO), fighting out of New Haven, pitched a complete shutout over a game, про-дебютувавши Rene Nazare(0-1), Бразилії, for a convincing win by way of a four-round unanimous decision.
Southbridge (Массачусетс) напівсередній Вільфредо “Sucaro” язичник (3-0, 1 KO) pinnedPatrick Leal (0-4), з Woburn, on the ropes early, dropping him three times until referee Casey halted the fight midway through the opening round.

Вустер, Маса. (Жовтень 2, 2017) – Local prospect Боббі “BH3” Harris III is ready to breakout of the shadows cast by his father, retired pro boxer Bobby Harris, початок Субота ніч, Жовтень 28, in the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Майбутнє Нової Англії”, в DCU Центр (Exhibition Hall) в Вустере, Массачусетс.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, два чемпіона світу Хосе Антоніо Рівера і його син, Anthonee (Гей-Джей) Рівера.
“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” the rising prospect, A.J. the president and matchmaker for RPE. Іноді, хоча, 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. Мій дядько, 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. доданої. “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 в США, і Ні. 2 в світі.
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. Рівера, plus his head trainer, Rocky Gonzalez. Worcester boxers such as Jermaine Ortiz і 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 КО) pro record between 1993 і 1999. Сьогодні, 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, в кільці, але, 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 (Оскар) Де Ла Хойя, (Shane) Mosley, (Евандер) Холіфілд and so many other great fighters. We are different, хоча. 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. Зараз, 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 (в першій середній. 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, занадто. 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) Хосе, 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, Гей-Джей, and I are happy that we can use our RPE company to be able to help little Bobby pursue his dreams and goals. Вустер – and soon enough the rest of the world – will know it’s BH3 Time!”
“BH3” turned pro this past Червень 10, in his Worcester hometown, taking a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 X 3) over an awkward opponent, Родріго 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 ‘Цукор’ Рей (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. 28ї fight against New Yorker Troy Omer “KO Artist” художник (3-7-1, 2 КО), 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 КО), fighting out of Pembroke (Массачусетс), will face an opponent to be determined in the eight-round main event.
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Гавриїл “Napao” Gonzaga will make his pro boxing debut in a four-round match against Washington D.C. важковаговик Аландо П'ю (1-10-1, 1 KO).
