After my son graduated from Johnson Wales University with a degree in Sports Management, he told me he was ready to form Rivera Promotions Entertainment, as we had discussed, and promote shows. I lost a lot of money promoting a show in 2008, so I told him to put a plan together first and within a week he did. He had gotten his feet wet in the business as an intern for a boxing promoter. We went over the plan ad decided that we can do this. We’re not signing fighters, רעכט איצט, we’re helping them build their careers. We do a lot of hard work behind the scenes that the public doesn’t see; the fighters work in the gym. I’m really excited about January 19טה. Irvin Gonzalez is a future world champion.

Baltimore Boxing to help raise funds for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

באַלטימאָרע, מד (דעצעמבער 29, 2016) – Jake Smith’s Baltimore Pro Boxing will assist with fundraising efforts for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in association with their “Scary Night at the Fights” card פרייַטיק, יאַנואַר 13 at Michael’s Eighth Ave in Glen Burnie, מד.

A nonprofit headquartered in Rye Brook, ניו יאָרק, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) איז געגרינדעט אין 1949 and is the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services.

Baltimore Boxing is providing a helping hand to Dulaney High School junior Erin Hill’s fundraising efforts for LLS by running a 50/50 raffle and silent auction. בערגל, who lost her uncle Gene from Mantle Cell Lymphoma in 2010, is also a nominee for Student of the Year.

“Jake Smith is an amazing person for supporting our fundraising efforts,” said Hill. “He has a great heart and I know he’s always doing things to help others in association with his boxing events. Jake is a very important member in the Baltimore community.”

Headlining “Scary Night at the Fights” is an eight round super middleweight contest between rugged Baltimorean Jessie “The Beast” Nicklow and unbeaten Virginia native Chauncey “Grimm” Fields.

Nicklow has a solid 25-8-3 רעקאָרד מיט 8 knockouts and is a fan favorite in Maryland. He looks to rebound from recent defeats against world class opposition and has never lost in his home state. With only four fights under his belt, Fields is taking a significant step up in competition. Rather than continue the standard record building process, Fields’ team is confident their fighter has much more to gain by defeating the established Nicklow.

Somebody’s 0 must go in the six round co-feature when super middleweights “Dangerous” Donald Wallace and Tahir Thomas square off. Baltimore’s Wallace is 1-0 with a first round knockout and exceeded expectations during his time in the amateurs. Fighting out of Salisbury, מד, Thomas has a solid 4-0-1 ledger with 3 ווינס דורך נאַקאַוט. אין זיין לעצטן באַוט, Thomas drew with 10-0 אַנטאָוויאַן אַיקענס.

Veteran Michael “The Amazing” Gbenga looks for his 22נד victory when he faces an opponent to be named at light heavyweight.

All ticketholders will also have the opportunity to watch the amateur portion of the card including a heavyweight title rematch between Brian “Bam Bam” Haneschlager and Dallas Butts.

Other pro and amateur bouts will be announced shortly.

Thurman vs Porter topples all comers as PBC’s Fight of the Year

דריקט דאָ for story & דאָ for video
via PremierBoxingChampions.com
It was a fight that was as competitive as it was engaging, a championship bout in which both participants put it all on the line until the final bell sounded. אין די סוף, there would be only one winner in the world title fight between Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter, but there certainly was no loser.
קיט טערמאַן דיפיטיד שאָן פּאָרטער by unanimous decision to retain his 147-pound world championship at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, ניו יארק, אויף יוני 25 in a back-and-forth battle between two fighters in the prime of their careers.
Considering the importance and the competitive quality of the bout, Thurman vs Porter was selected by the staff of Premier Boxing Champions as PBC’s Fight of the Year for 2016.
The Thurman-Porter showdown edged out a thrilling cast of contenders that included Leo Santa Cruz vs Carl Frampton, Adonis Stevenson vs Thomas Williams Jr. און ראבערט יסטער דזשוניער. vs Richard Commey.
Although Thurman won by identical scores of 115-113 from all three ringside judges, the discrepancy in arriving at the final result showed just how even the fight truly was. The judges were in complete agreement on just six of the 12 ראָונדס (giving four to Thurman), and the six disputed rounds were split down the middle for each fighter.
Also underscoring the competitiveness of those 12 rounds is the fact Porter landed just one more total punch (236-235) than Thurman, although the champ connected with more of his power shots (203-177).
Thurman-Porter was the first prime-time fight on CBS since Leon Spinks defeated Muhammad Ali in February 1978, and it proved worthy of the big stage as it gained a peak audience of nearly 4 מיליאָן וויוערז.
The fight didn’t take long to heat up as Porter bulled his way inside in the early rounds against Thurman, who relied on his footwork and counterpunching in his attempts to neutralize the former world champion.
Thurman finally broke through with some big shots in the closing seconds of Round 3, landing with both hands while backed against the ropes. He rocked Porter again late in the fourth with a pair of left hooks to gain the early advantage.
Porter roared back and controlled the next three rounds as he used his physical approach to work effectively inside. Then he tagged Thurman in Round 8 with a potent left hook to the body that caused the champ to retreat so he could recover.
The bout reached a crescendo in the ninth and 10th as the longtime friends engaged in consecutive Round of the Year candidates in which they stood toe-to-toe and exchanged leather with unrelenting ferocity.
Although there were no knockdowns, the intense competitiveness and ebb and flow of the fight made it an instant classic.
While there is no guarantee of a rematch since Thurman is now scheduled for a מאַרץ 4 title unification bout against unbeaten Danny Garcia, the prospect of a Thurman-Porter II is certainly a welcome one.
I would give him a rematch,” טערמאַן האט. “עס איז געווען אַ גרויס קאַמף. He was a great opponent.
Said Porter: “We need that rematch. I know the fans want that rematch. … If he gives me another chance, I’m going to work hard and [דעם מאָל] leave with his title.

There’s also his engaging personality and he has the discipline to become the best. We are very excited to work with him. I am convinced that he has the potential to become world champion.
I am very pleased with this agreement with the Groupe Yvon Michel,” Assomo מוסיף. “I’m sure this is the beginning of a great adventure. I look forward to my first performance. GYM knew how to attract me: by its past, by the boxers it supports, by its structure,”
After a good career among amateurs, rich in results,” French National Boxing Team coach John Dovi explained, “it is time for Christian to go into the pro ranks. His offensive style and overall boxing skills will allow him, I am sure, to reach the highest level.
I started following Christian M’Billi’s amateur career two years ago and his successes on the international scene were more than impressive,” Ramsey קאַמענטאַד. “I am very happy to associate myself with such a disciplined and talented boxer. I see a very promising future for this young man.
Christian M’Billi fuels such high intensity,” GYM Vice President of Operations and Recruitment Bernard Barré אנגעוויזן. “Fans will be in ecstasy watching such a powerful and exciting pugilist.

Lubin drops the ‘Hammeras PBC’s Rising Star of the Year

דריקט דאָ for story and דאָ for video via PremierBoxingChampions.com
Even before he signed a professional contract on his 18th birthday, Erickson Lubin had high expectations set upon him for 2016.
אין 2013, Lubin was one of the United Statestop amateur boxers and being targeted as a surefire standout on the 2016 יוז. Olympic team. אָבער, the talented southpaw swapped that dream for another on October 1, 2013, when he turned pro and began his quest to become a world champion.
While עריקסאַן “האַמער” לובין has yet to fight for a world title, let alone obtain one, his decision to forgo a shot at Olympic gold has remained fruitful.
לובין (17-0, 12 קאָס) continued his ascent in the 154-pound division in 2016 by winning all four of his fights in dominating fashion-two by knockout and two by unanimous decision. With his perfect performance, the staff of Premier Boxing Champions selected Lubin as PBC’s Rising Star of the Year.
The 21-year-old Orlando, פלאָרידאַ, native beat out fellow young guns דזשאַסטין דעלאָאַטש, דזשאַררעטט כערד און סערגיי ליפּינעץ, all of whom convincingly moved up the ladder in their respective weight classes this year.
לובין, who in addition to his “האַמער” moniker has dubbed his right hand “דזשאַק” and his leftSledge,” got his year started on יאַנואַר 31 מיט אַ 10-round decision over Mexico’s Jose De Jesus Macias in Immokalee, פלאָרידאַ.
While Lubin was unable to knock out Macias-a veteran who has never been stopped in 28 pro fights-he gained a fifth-round knockdown with a counter right hook and won every round on two scorecards, with the third judge giving him all but one round.
Lubin returned to the ring on יוני 18, סקאָרינג אַ third-round TKO of Daniel Sandoval אין טשיקאַגאָ. In that bout, Lubin pounded the head and body of his Mexican opponent before hurting him with a body shot late in Round 3. While Sandoval did not go down, referee Mark Nelson stopped the fight at the 2:36 צייכן.
Less than a month later, Lubin jumped back in the ring against his third straight Mexican opponent, battling Ivan Montero in Birmingham, אַלאַבאַמאַ, אויף יולי 16. Montero entered the eight-round bout with a record of 20-1, and he gave Lubin his toughest test yet, as the fight went distance. אין די סוף, כאָטש, the young southpaw proved his skills were superior, sweeping all three judges’ סקאָרעקאַרדס.
לובין, who has never fought a boxer with a losing record, capped his year earlier this month in emphatic fashion with a second-round KO of Juan Ubaldo Cabrera אין לאס אנדזשעלעס. In that bout, Lubin used both “דזשאַק” און “האַמער” to drop Cabrera twice in Round 2 and gain his sixth stoppage in his last eight bouts.
As he continues to sharpen his skills with each passing bout, don’t be surprised if Erickson Lubin’s star continues to rise in 2017-perhaps all the way to the top of the super competitive 154-pound division.

Easter-Commey beat out three other worthy candidates: קייַלעכיק 9 פון Keith Thurman vs Shawn Porter, קייַלעכיק 2 פון Leo Santa Cruz vs Carl Frampton and Round 4 פון Adonis Stevenson vs Thomas Williams Jr. It was a closely contested round, with two of the judges siding with Easter and and one giving Commey the nod, which factored into Easter winning a split decision.
נאָר 10 seconds into Round 9, Easter and Commey moved into close quarters, exchanging heavy blows with both hands for nearly 30 seconds with little pause.
The fighters backed off nearly a minute in as they regrouped from the heated exchange and resumed a more measured approach working primarily with their jabs.
Commey, אָבער, quickly ramped the action back up about 90 seconds into the round as the Ghana native began to let loose with his right hand coming behind the jab.
With a minute left in the round and a partisan crowd filled with family and friends from his hometown of Toledo, אָהיאָ, rooting him on, Easter appeared to gain the upper hand as he pinned Commey against the ropes and landed a couple of solid rights during a flurry of punches.
After escaping the barrage, כאָטש, it was Commey’s turn to return fire as he landed a couple of rights before Easter responded with a head-turning left hook.
In the final 25 סעקונדעס, both fighters again exchanged rapid-fire blows before backing off just before the bell so that not only they could catch their breath, but that everyone watching could as well.
