Good to finish because he eats his spinach
Russell Kimber wins pro debut
HAMPTON, N гадзіну. (Снежні 9, 2017) — Colorful light heavyweight prospect Рычард “Папа Морячок Чалавек” Рывэра застаўся непераможаным (5-0, 4 КО), ветэран Раберта “Стары” Валенсуэла, last night (Сб) у “Rumble at The RIM” галоўная падзея, прадстаўлена Granite Chin Promotions, at The RIM Sports Complex in Hampton, Нью-Гэмпшыр.
Рывэра, fighting out of Hartford (Канэктыкут), controlled the action from the opening bell against his battle-tested opponent from Mexico, who had a tremendous experience advantage in his 147й pro fight, compared to Rivera’s fifth.
Valenzuela spent most of the time on the ropes, while Rivera teed-off on him, until a beautiful placed left hook by Rivera decked Valenzuela, who failed to get up until after referee Майк Раян completed the 10-count.
A busload of Rivera’s fans drove five hours from Hartford through a snowstorm, arriving just before Rivera entered the ring. “That means a lot to me,” Rivera smiled as he spoke about his fans. “We’re more than a gym, мы сям'я.
“I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. Наступны, I want to win the New England title. It’s vacant and I want it!”
“This was our first show in New Hampshire and I consider it a success,” co-promoter Chuck Shearnз сказаў, “despite some things going against us like tonight’s weather. We’re grateful for the support we received from Hampton, Нью-Гэмпшыр, the commission and local businesses. They worked with us and we can’t wait to return.”
The son and nephew of multiple-time world kickboxing champions – father Tommy and uncle – worked his corner — Peabody, Масачусэтс Russell Kimber had a promising pro debut against tough Nathan Schulte in a match contested at a 185-pound catchweight. The 32-year-old Kimber, who was the crowd favorite having lived several years in New Hampshire, overcame the determined Schulte for a hard-fought victory by way of a four-round majority decision.
“I was a little nervous with this being my first time in a pro ring,” Kimber admitted after his fight. “I hadn’t been in a ring for 1 ½ years and there was some ring rust. Зараз, I know what I need to good, and I’ll be a lot better next fight. This was my first camp and I’ve learned a lot. I’d like to stay busy, come back in late January, early February.”
Undefeated Whitman, MA junior welterweight prospect Майк “Bad Man” Ohan, Малодшы.charged across the ring, unloading a powerful right that immediately sent Bardraiel Smith to the canvas. Smith somehow got to his feet but Ohan quickly ended Smith’s night, only 30-second into round one, as referee Ryan waved off the action.
New England cruiserweight champion and the show’s co-promoter, Iraq War veteran Chris Traietti (25-5, 19 КО) outclassed Fabian Valdez en route to a win by second-round knockout in a stay-busy fight to close out 2017. In a non-title fight contested at a 185-pounds catchweight, the Quincy, MA-based Traietti floored his game Mexican opponent with a straight right midway through the opening round, closing the show in the second round with a series of unanswered punches.
The only New Hampshire native on the card, Claremont junior middleweight Ricky Ford(1-1-1) won his first pro fight, taking a lop-sided, four-round unanimous decision over pro MMA fighter Andy Aiello, who made his pro boxing debut.
In another stay-busy fight, former world-rated Раян “Польскі князь” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 КО), fighting out of Quincy (Масачусэтс), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight Францыска “El Mono” Medal. Kielczweski hit Medal with a with a lethal left to the body, leaving Medal in obvious pain and unable to rise before the 10-count.
New Jersey middleweight Крыс “Sandman” Томас (7-0-1, 4 КО) kept his unbeaten pro record intact with a second-round stoppage of Demetrius Thomas. Thomas used a rapid-fire combination to drop Thomas, who beat the count, but he was getting hammered when referee Ryan stopped the fight late in the second round.

Martin had a few good moments later in the fight but Perrella’s power and punch output earned him a clear-cut victory.

SHOWTIME Sports veteran reporter Джым Грэй and former, long-time play-by-play announcer Steve Albert were elected to the 2018 class of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, it was announced by the Hall on Tuesday.

Gray and Albert earned induction into the Observer category, which recognizes outstanding achievements of print and electronic media journalists, sportscasters, publishers, пісьменнікі, historians, photographers and artists. Gray and Albert will join SHOWTIME Sports boxing analyst Al Bernstein (2012), ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. (2013), analyst and historian Steve Farhood (2017) and announcer Barry Tompkins (2017) in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, four-division world champion Eric Morales and former undisputed super welterweight world champion Ronald “Winky” Wright headline the 2018 induction class. The newly elected class will be inducted during Hall of Fame Weekend Чэрвеня 7-10, 2018, in Canastota, N.Y..

“All of us at SHOWTIME Sports who have worked with Jim and Steve over the years are thrilled that they are receiving this well-deserved honor,” said David Dinkins Jr., Выканаўчы прадзюсер, Showtime спорту. “Both were instrumental in building the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® франшыза. Jim’s interviews have become classic post-fight drama while Steve’s fight calls are integral to some of the most significant moments in boxing history.”

Gray has been a reporter for SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING since 1994, і зарабіў 11 Emmy Awards throughout his career, including one for his interview of Mike Tyson following the heavyweight’s infamous “bite fight” loss to Evander Holyfield. The National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association also named that interview the “Sports Broadcast Story of the Year.” Дадаткова, the American Sportscasters Association voted Gray “Sportscaster of the Year” у 1998 і 1999.

Throughout his four-decade career as a reporter, Gray has covered numerous Super Bowls, World Series, Алімпійскія гульні, NBA Finals and NCAA Final Fours, and has interviewed many of the most lauded sports figures of this era including Muhammad Ali, Майк Тайсан, Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady, Pete Rose, Michael Jordan and many others.

One of the most recognizable voices in sports, Albert joined SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING shortly after its inception in 1986. In a tenure that spanned over two decades, the world-famous broadcaster called over 300 title fights, including Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen in front of 130,000 fans at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, and Tyson-Holyfield I & II. У 2007, Albert received The Sam Taub Award for excellence in broadcast journalism by the Boxing Writers Association of America.

Albert has also done play-by-play for the New York Mets, Jets, Islanders and Rangers, as well as the New Jersey Devils.

The recognition by the International Boxing Hall of Fame is the result of a career’s worth of hard work and accomplishments for Gray and Albert.
