伍斯特, 質量. (六月 20, 2018) — This past Father’s Day was considerably different for three-time, 2處世界冠軍 “高盧” 何塞·安東尼奧·里維拉 and his pro-debuting son, A.J. 里維拉, because they will be “Making History,” presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment and Granite Chin Promotions, 八月 17 at The Palladium.
Rivera and his son, 分別, are the promoter and matchmaker for Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which will co-promote “Making History” with Granite Chin Promotions (GCP).
“We are excited to be teaming up with GCP for this historic boxing event,” Jose commented. “We have had the pleasure of working with Chris (崔耶蒂) and Chuck (Shearns) in the past. We are grateful that they are able to work with us again to make sure we put together a great boxing event.”
The Riveras will become the first world-champion father-son combination to fight on a pro show that is promoted by their company. More significantly, A.J. will become the first pro boxer to be born with Spina Bifida.
現在 45 歲, Rivera is making his second comeback, but this time it’s solely to fight on the same card as his son. Due to a variety of reasons, “高盧” retired from the ring in 2008, but he came back in 2011 for two fights, both victories, before hanging up his gloves again.
在 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, 停車 Gilberto Flores in the second round. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, 家鄉的喜愛 Michel Trabant (38-0) 為空置世界拳擊協會 (WBA) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.
兩個戰鬥後, in front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera won a 12-round unanimous decision over defending champion 亞歷杭德羅·加西亞 (25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.
“I am boxing at 45 years old because of this great opportunity that has arisen for my son and I,” Jose explained. “Boxing on the same card with my son is going to be exciting and, even more so, because we will be a part of history! I am fortunate to be healthy, 物理, and I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for not having any brain issues from my prior years of boxing. I’ve lost 20 英鎊, so far, and need to lose 12 more to make the 160-pound weight class.
“I am not sure how the night of the fight is going to go. I play it in my head over and over about how I would like it to go, 但最後, I’m confident we will both be ready for tough fights because of the hard work we’re both putting in at the gym.
“Fan response has been good, positive and supportive of what we both are doing and attempting to accomplish. To look back at the day I was told my son was going to be born with Spina Bifida, preparing myself mentally for the worse, 現在 25 years later here we are close to fulfilling his childhood dream. It’s amazing! I feel blessed to share this moment with my son. I am also happy that we can do this in front of our family, 朋友 & fans in our City of Worcester, where my son was born, and I was raised since I moved there when I was 16.”
07月. 17, Rivera will face battle-tested middleweight 瑞安 “危險的” 戴維斯 (24-19, 9 科斯), fighting out of East Saint Louis, 伊利諾伊, 在八輪的主要事件. Davis has been in with the iron, including six-time, 二科世界冠軍 朱達, former International Boxing Federation (IBF) 世界冠軍 ISHE史密斯, two-time world title challenger and 2004 US Olympian Vances Martirosyan, 世界冠軍挑戰者 Jonathan Reid, reigning International Boxing Association (IBA) world junior middleweight champion 馬克·德盧卡, plus other notables such as 羅布布蘭特, Mikael Zewski, Carlos Bojorquez 和 Dominik Britsch.
Twenty-five-year-old A.J. will fight an opponent to be determined in a four-round welterweight match. He is a graduate of Johnson & Wales with a major in sports management, who has quickly become one of the most respected matchmakers in New England.
A.J. grew-up in a gym, watching his father train, and he also fought as an amateur boxer. “I’ve always wanted to fight as a pro and what better way than to make my pro debut on the same card headlined by my pops,” 里維拉說. “This is a one and done, I’m not going to box as a career and, hopefully I will leave the ring on August 17日 and retire undefeated. I plan to make matchmaking a career. I can stay in the sport I’ve always loved and matchmake for our company and for other promoters.
“I was born with Spina Bifida. A layer of skin covered a hole in my back, preventing water from getting in, which would have damaged my system and left me paralyzed, unable to speak and with a shunt in my head to drain fluid. The doctors told my parents that, if I survived, I’d only live to be 19, in a wheelchair and a little autistic. I had surgery the next day and my pops kept hope. As I got older, I played basketball, 足球, baseball and boxed. I was inactive for seven years when I went away to school and started matchmaking.”
In addition to sacrificing to make weight, instead of having a Father’s Day cookout, he watched what he ate and, 當然, workout with his father in the gym to prepare for his pro debut.
“I wasn’t able to celebrate my 25日 anniversary on June 2 或,” A.J. 額外. “I plan to celebrate my birthday and Father’s Day when I step out of the ring on August 17日. 然後, I’ll go back to focusing on my craft and become a full-time matchmaker.”

Coyle after capturing the NBA title PHOTO CREDIT – Damon Gonzalez Latin Box Sports
聖. 聖彼得堡, FL (六月 20, 2017) – Middleweight up and comer Connor “The Kid” Coyle became the NBA Intercontinental middleweight champion by scoring an impressive sixth round stoppage of local rival Danny “El Bebo” Pastrana Saturday, 六月 16 at The Coliseum in St. 聖彼得堡, FL.
The card was promoted by Fire Fist Boxing Promotions in association with Money Round Boxing League.
Fighting in front of a sold out crowd, both men looked to impose their will in the early going. 終究, Coyle found his range and peppered Pastrana with jabs while using good movement to steer clear of return shots. With the fight under his control, Coyle buzzed Pastrana with a right hand in round six. 過了一會兒, the 28-year-old uncorked a massive right hand that sent his Orlando, FL based foe crashing to the canvas. The game Pastrana beat the 10 count but was clearly out of it, forcing the stoppage at 2:50.
科伊爾, who hails from Derry, Northern Ireland but trains out of Tampa, FL, 要提高 8-0 同 3 勝淘汰賽. Pastrana slips to 6-5 (1 KO).
在當晚的協調功能回合, two-time Olympic medalist Ivan Dychko destroyed former title challenger Mike Marrone of Vero Beach, FL in in less than a round. Originally from Kazakhstan and now fighting out of Kissimmee, FL, Dychko scored three knockdowns before the bout was stopped at 2:19.
The 6’9 Dychko ups his professional ledger to 6-0 with all of his victories by knockout. Marrone is now 21-9 同 15 KO的.
大急流城, MI featherweight Vincent Jennings scored a shocking six round majority decision over local favorite Jose “Lil Pacquiao” Resendiz of St. 聖彼得堡. In a battle between boxer and brawler, Jennings did all he could to keep the aggressive Resendiz, who also had to overcome a cut, on the outside.
Judge Chris Young’s 57-57 tally was overruled by scorecards of 58-56 from both Efrian Lebron and Mike Ross.
Jennings is now 6-5-1 同 4 victories by way of KO while Resendiz falls to 5-2.
Welterweight phenom and crowd favorite Mark Reyes Jr., 7-0 (5 KO的) Demolished Puerto Rican veteran Javier Garcia in 2:25. Representing Tampa, FL, Reyes displayed impressive speed and dynamic power, scoring a knockdown following a vicious combination that left Garcia unable to continue.
“I am pleased with the card,” said Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Boxing Promotions. “We were able to showcase a number of top fighters from the Sunshine State and had a great crowd. Connor looked fantastic and we believe the sky is the limit for him. Mark Reyes Jr. Is a great young talent as well and Ivan Dychko is a force to be reckoned with. I’d like to thank all the fighters and every fans who came out to show their support along with Money Round Boxing League for showing the fight worldwide via their website.
Fire Fist returns to the St. Pete Coliseum Saturday, 十月 6 and details will be available shortly. 欲了解更多信息, visit Firefistboxing.net or Facebook.com/firefistboxing.

Shields To Fight for World Title in Second Weight Division as She Faces Gabriels for IBF & WBA Women’s Middleweight World Championships 星期五, 六月 22 On SHOWTIME®

Here is what Shields and Gabriels had to say today at the Downtown Boxing Gym in Detroit:
Claressa盾
“It’s been seven weeks of really hard work. A lot of people don’t know and I really don’t like to be open about it, but I got to 183 pounds after my last fight in January and now I’m 160. 這是 23 英鎊. I was in camp running and getting ready for the fight and having to focus on weight was very different for me.
“I feel good and ready to go. I’m happy that she made it in safe and all that but now I’m just excited. You all know how I get before fights. The champ is here.
“So much has changed since I first turned pro. In my first fight, I was frustrated against Franchon (Crews Dezurn) during our fight. I was frustrated throughout camp and I really couldn’t handle everything that was going on. Now I know how to handle the media, the workouts, the interviews and still remain disciplined. The fact that I had to lose so much weight this camp only added more discipline.
“It makes me so happy and it just touches my heart to see four female fighters on the main fight poster. I was so happy that they decided to put them on TV. They have put me on before but it’s always been my goal to put other women on so when they decided to put Tori Nelson and Christina Hammer on I was so excited because this has never been done before. Women’s boxing is going somewhere.
“I always knew that it would take me to turn professional for women’s boxing to go to a higher level. That’s why I waited to win a second Gold Medal before I turned professional. To be the one to be the leader is special. I feel like I go out there every fight and give my best and show that I can box better than 90 percent of the men that box. If you have a choice to make a man the main event or me the main event, I always want them to choose me.
“There’s always mutual respect between me and my opponents. I’m thankful for them because I can’t do this by myself. I thank Hanna for stepping up and it’s mutual respect until Friday. I start getting really mean on Thursday,Friday is the fight and then after that we can exchange numbers and be friends.
“I expect her to use her gifts. She’s really good on her legs and she’s strong up top. I think she lacks in speed so I expect her to try to counter me and try to force me to make mistakes with her movement. I think she underrates my power.
“I never said that I wanted to get more knockouts. I’m perfectly fine being 5-0 有兩個擊倒. 在一天結束時, I’m fine with that. The longer I’m in the ring boxing, the better. The more they get to see me on TV, that’s fine. Of course I would love to get the big knockout but look how disappointed Errol Spence Jr. was to get such a quick knockout of Ocampo. That didn’t please his fans. 如果談到淘汰賽, 它來了.
“This will be my toughest fight. She’s the most skilled and has the most experience. She’s a three-time world champion. I’ve fought former world champions but she’s a three-time world champion to date. The girl that beat her, Hanna avenged that loss. I’m looking forward to her coming out and putting 100 percent in and I hope for us to have a great fight.
“I’m always confident going into fights. I’m not leaving the ring without having two new belts.”
HANNA GABRIELS
“I think that this is a time right now where women can have this type of platform. Claressa is a great champion and I have faced great women’s champions. I think it’s a great time for boxing fans to enjoy a quality fight. She’s a champion. I’m a champion. This will be a great matchup.
“You are going to see a very technical and aggressive fighter. That’s the only way that you can fight Claressa because she’s so aggressive herself and so tough, you can’t go in the ring passive against her. You have to put your life on the line in there and that’s what I’m planning to do.
“I feel honored to be on such a great card. This is a great opportunity and I just hope everybody sees this the way that I do. We trained hard. In my case, I wanted to bring the very best out of myself so the fans could leave the arena feeling great. 這就是拳擊是所有關於. Bringing entertainment and emotions that most other sports don’t bring to people.
“This fight means a lot to me. Every person that I love is going through a hard time right now, 包括我的家人. I just want to lead by example and show everybody that all odds are nothing. You can still fight the battle with as many resources or as little resources as you have. I’m dedicating this fight to all my loved ones because I promise there will be better times for us.
“When I was five years old I was sexually abused so my teenage years were tough. Sports always took me away from that. When I got an injury and I had to stop competing in track, I thought my life was over. For the next five or six years, I was very destructive and felt like I didn’t have a purpose. When I turned 24, I started a different passage and learned that everything that happened to me just made me the person I am today.
“We don’t really focus on anybody’s weaknesses because we believe if you’re a good professional and you are dedicating your life to this, you are supposed to get better at your weaknesses. So we focus on her strengths and I think we have a great plan. They say that she’s been underestimating me a lot but I think it’s part of her game and part of what she does.
“I think her strengths are pretty obvious. She has great feet. I don’t know if she punches hard but she’s very explosive. She must have a lot of power and she’s very defensive. She keeps her distance and she’s so big and I’m so small that we will have to risk a lot of things. Her confidence is one of her biggest strengths.
“This will probably be my toughest fight so far. I never had an amateur career, I had just one fight. Claressa has fought 80-something times so my schooling has been in the professional environment and I have had to learn in the process. Every fight has been a hard fight because I have to solve problems and I think she is definitely the toughest opponent because she’s so tall and so fast. She must walk around normally at 185 pounds and I’m not as big so we were a little worried at the beginning at how we would reach her body but we finally were able to figure that out in training and I’m confident that my game is going to surprise her a lot.
“Hopefully we can bring a surprise and people will get to see me and let everybody know that there are more great boxers out there that aren’t getting the same exposure or marketing that Claressa is getting. I don’t feel disrespected, I see this is an opportunity to show what I’ve been working on. Let them plan. Maybe those plans will fall.
“It’s going to be a great fight. She’s coming for the victory and I’m coming for the victory as well. She’s in for a big surprise.”

FRISCO, TEXAS (六月 16, 2018) – Errol Spence Jr. defended his IBF Welterweight World Championship with a first-round knockout of previously undefeated mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in a homecoming fight Saturday on SHOWTIME at Ford Center at The Star. 視頻: https://s.sho.com/2HTG4Zv
A sellout crowd of more than 12,600 fans packed Ford Center at The Star in Frisco to witness Spence’s first homecoming defense as champion and his first fight in Dallas since 2015. The consensus top-5 pound-for-pound fighter did not disappoint, pounding the body from the opening bell with his trademark body attack and superb ring generalship.
斯彭斯, who was making his second defense as a 147-pound champion, floored Ocampo with a brutal 1-2 body shot combo, the second punch landing flush on the challenger’s side and instantly flooring him as the opening round concluded. Ocampo (22-1, 13 科斯) crippled over in pain while on the canvas, was unable to beat the count and remained on the floor for more than two minutes while Spence celebrated his victory.
“I was a little disappointed. I wanted to give the crowd their money’s worth,” Spence said. “I wanted him to sustain a bit and give him some punishment, but the body shot got him and I dropped him.”
It was the ninth time Spence (24-0, 21 科斯) has floored an opponent with a body shot in his 24 專業的戰鬥.
“I knew if I hit him again he would probably drop,” Spence said. “That was my game plan. I’m the body snatcher. If he reacts weirdly, I just keep going to the body and I keep breaking him down.”
戰鬥結束後, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joined Spence in the ring to congratulate him on the victory.
“This moment is a dream,” Spence said. “I wanted to play for the Dallas Cowboys and now I’m fighting in front of the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones. Thank you to the whole Dallas Cowboys organization.
“We’ll definitely be back after I unify some titles. We’ll make this an annual thing where I fight here.”
Jones was thrilled with what was the first boxing event inside the Ford Center at The Star, the centerpiece of the 91-acre campus of the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters and practice facility.
“This room was full of Dallas Cowboys football players supporting you,” Jones said. “They share your passion. I saw a guy in this ring who knew what he wanted. When you knock a guy out by hitting him once on the side of his back, you’re bad to the bone.
“I love his awareness. He had a plan from the beginning. He is exceptionally gifted. He has family that is behind him and our family, the Cowboys, want to be behind him as well.”
戰鬥結束後, SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame last Sunday, asked Spence what he would like to do next.
“I want to fight the best,” Spence promised. “Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter are fighting each other (for the WBC title) and I definitely want to make that a unifying fight. We both have the same management, we both fight on SHOWTIME. Why not make that happen? I definitely want that fight whenever it’s available.”
在電視的共同特徵, Danny Roman defended his WBA Super Bantamweight World Championship with a unanimous decision over previously undefeated Moises Flores in a 12-round fight that was scored 116-112, 118-110, 120-108.
The champion Roman (24-2-1, 9 科斯) was the faster and sharper fighter from the opening bell. 羅馬, who was making the second defense of his 122-pound belt, pounded the body repeatedly over 12 發, connecting on a staggering 50 percent of his body shots. 花卉 (25-1, 17 科斯), who failed to make weight for the title fight and was unable to win the belt, tired in the latter half of the fight and was largely a stationary target for Roman for 12 發.
Both fighters threw more than 1,000 拳, yet it was Roman who was the more effective boxer, connecting on an impressive 42 他的力量，投籃的百分比.
“I was trying to box him. We tried to do a smart fight,” Roman said. “We tried to take him out, but unfortunately we couldn’t.
“I would like to unify. I would like to challenge any of the champions. I’d love to face Rey Vargas or Isaac Dogboe. I don’t mind going back to Japan either.”
“I know I messed up in training,“弗洛雷斯說. “I didn’t make the weight, but I still wanted to perform and give it everything I have.
“We both hit each other a lot. 我打 (羅馬) with some good shots, I just couldn’t finish him. I was probably around 60 percent energy-wise. From the fifth round on I had to just fight with pure heart.
“(羅馬) put on a great show for the fans, and that’s what makes me feel great. That’s all I wanted was to put on a good fight.”
在精彩表演拳擊錦標賽轉播的開幕回合, Javier Fortuna suffered an injury while falling through the ropes due to an accidental push in the fourth round and his 140-pound matchup with Adrian Granados was ruled a No Decision.
格拉納多斯 (18-6-2, 11 科斯) and Fortuna (33-2-1, 23 科斯) both came out swinging from the opening bell. In a wild fourth round, Fortuna was deducted two points, first for punching to the back of the head, and second for holding. After the second point deduction, the former 130-pound champion Fortuna aggressively moved forward and unloaded a series of shots.
過了一會兒, Granados and Fortuna were clinching along the ropes near Granados’ corner when Fortuna fell backward through the ropes, whipping his neck as he fell back. Complaining of pain and lack of movement, Fortuna was stabilized with a neck brace and removed from the ring on a stretcher in what was later described as a precautionary measure.
在停止時, Grandos was leading on all three of the judges’ scorecards.
“I didn’t push him. I think he fell with his own,” Granados said. “I think he was looking for an excuse on his way out. We were both battling, but I knew he could feel I was getting stronger. He caught me with a shot and it just turned me up.
“First and foremost I just want to pray that he’s OK. Let’s do the rematch. I’ve been dying for a fight at 140.”
Saturday’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will re-air on Monday at 10 P.M. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME and will be available via SHOWTIME ON DEMAND and SHOWTIME ANYTIME.

(六月 17, 2018) – Rising Hartford folk hero 理查德 “大力水手曼” 里維拉 kept his pro record perfect (8-0) 完整, knocking out his tough opponent, Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (12-4-2, 9 科斯), in the eighth round to capture the vacant ABF Continental cruiserweight title, last night (星期六) in the main event on the “Fight Night at The Capital” pro boxing card, at Xfinity Centre in Hartford.
The reigning UBF All Americas light heavyweight champion, 里維拉 (8-0, 7 科斯) 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 托尼·懷特 and his Hartford Boxing Center gym partner, 邁克爾·特蘭, 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.
在第七輪, 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,” 里維拉說. “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…..嘟, 嘟!”
In an intra-Connecticut clash of junior welterweights, Danbury’s undefeated 奧馬爾 “野獸” 博羅伊島, JR. (6-0, 2 科斯) 淘汰 亞歷山大 “厄爾尼諾布拉沃” 花邊上飾邊的小環 (2-6-1), of 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 “特殊的一個” 沙拉德·科利爾 (1-0, 1 KO, fighting at home in Hartford, displayed his vast arsenal of skills, 淘汰 Antonio Castillo, JR. (1-1) 在第一輪比賽.
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 halted the action.
“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, 老實說, I was a lot more nervous as an amateur.”
New Haven, CT輕量級 Anuel Rosa (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an explosive pro debut, blasting an overwhelmed 羅傑·布蘭肯希普 (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, 已故 路易斯 “KO王” 羅莎 (23-1, 11 科斯), who tragically died last January in a car accident at the age of 26.
New Britain, CT featherweight Nathan Martinez (1-0) had another very impressive pro debut, pitching a complete shutout (40-35) 在所有三個法官’ scorecards against 亨利·加西亞 (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.
