Decorated U.S. amateur boxer Angel Gonzalez, ג 'וניור. to make pro debut on “Fight Night In Framingham” card
Fighting Life charity event,
מרץ 20ה at Sheraton Hotel
FRAMINGHAM, מסה. (מרץ 4, 2020) – The long-awaited professional debut of decorated amateurAngel Gonzalez, ג 'וניור. will take place Friday night, מרץ 20, on the “Fight Night In Framingham” card, presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP), at Sheraton Framingham Hotel in Framingham, מסצ'וסטס.
“Fight Night In Framingham”, the first pro boxing event ever in Framingham, is being held for the benefit ofFighting Life, an after-school youth boxing and academic empowerment program, available 100-percent free of charge, to students beginning in elementary school through high school education.
Gonzalez hasn’t fought in three years, since he moved from his native Hartford, CT to Florida. “It took me a while to settle in after I moved to Florida,” Gonzalez explained. “I’ve been going to a gym and now I’m on track and coming back to turn pro. I have the talent for bigger and better things.”
The 26-year-olldf super flyweight had a 45-6 שיא חובב, highlighted by three New England Golden Gloves, two Ringside National and 2014 National PAL championships.
The problem for Gonzalez, למרות ש, is finding appropriate opponents, especially where he was a standout amateur. Right now, he’s still without a signed opponent, largely because there are so few 115-pound boxers in America outside of California and the Southwest. “Most super flyweights are from Mexico, יפן, or other foreign countries,” Gonzalez said. “It doesn’t matter to me who I fight. I can slug or box, depending on my opponent. If he’s taller, I’ll fight on the inside; if shorter, I’ll box from the outside. I’ll adjust to my opponent. My best punch is my right. It’s solid and deadly.”
“I’ve offered this fight to guys with 5 ל 10 fights and after consideration,” promoterChuck Shearns explained, “they have declined to fight Angel. These lower weight classes can be hard enough to match, never mind against Angel. What you find is that these smaller guys need to step up their competition earlier than other weight classes, because it’s simply a smaller pool of fighters. We will see what Angel has very early in his career.”

It took a few rounds for Rivera to wear off the rust, but he fed Smith a steady diet of body shots, gradually breaking down his opponent, as he won round after round on points. Twice in the sixth round it looked like Smith was done, but the tough Texan showed a lot of heart to survive.
לבסוף, Rivera closed the show in the seventh round, when Smith broke his hand in the fifth round and was unable to continue, kneeling in his corner, obviously in pain.
“I’ve always been tough,” Rivera said after the fight, “but I was a little rusty. He tested me early but, once he saw I wasn’t going anywhere and knew he was in for a fight. I started warming up in the fourth round. I was always a 12-round fighter. I didn’t know he broke his hand until after the fight. אני מרגיש מצוין. We gave a good fight to the fans who have always supported me.”
“I give myself a C+ tonight. I’m going to talk with my family, but I’m thinking about one more fight, to make it 50 for his pro career).”

The rematch between Worcester junior middleweight Khiary גריי (16-4, 12 קוס) ו Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 קוס) ended in the same fashion as their first encounter did three years ago.

“גאלו” Jose Antonio Rivera to headline “שיבה הביתה”
האלוף חזר!
נִשׂגָב 17 בבית פלדיום בווסטר, תואר שני
|
“גאלו” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald
|
WORCESTER, מסה. (יולי 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “גאלו” חוסה ריברה returns to the ring August 17 לכותרת “שיבה הביתה”, מוצג על ידי Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), בבית פלדיום בווסטר, מסצ'וסטס.
The 45-year-old ריברה (41-6-1, 24 קוס) has already lost more than 30 קילו, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against רובן “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 קוס) באירוע המרכזי של שמונה הסיבובים.
ב 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, עצירה Gilberto Flores בסיבוב השני. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, עיר הולדתו האהובה Michel Trabant (38-0) לאיגוד האגרוף העולמי הפנוי (WBA) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.
In front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera capped his boxing career by winning a 12-round unanimous decision in 2006 over defending champion אלחנדרו גרסיה(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.
“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. A.J., and I talking about chasing history,” ריברה הסבירה. “We are not able to put that together right now (A.J. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17ה הופעה.), but because of my hard work these last six months, I felt that it was only fitting to continue with my fight.
“Granite Chin Promotions has been very instrumental to make sure that this show is put together in the most professional manner possible. I won’t think our promotional company (Jos and A.J. own and operate RPE Promotions Entertainment) would have been able to pull this off. All the negotiations had to be done and me training the only way I know how, at a championship level, would have been too much for us to handle.”
Granite Chin Promotions’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns הוסיף, “When Jose and I started talking about his ring return, I was the last person to think he was crazy. We were friends during his championship days and I know how incredibly committed and disciplined Jose is. נלחמתי ב 49 שנים, not to compare myself to the level Jose has been on, but I know that it can be done. What everyone should know is how well Jose has taken care of himself during his thirties and into his forties. Did I ever think that כריס (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? לא, but I’m happy to be involved and I will support him as far as he wants to take this. He’s been training like he’s 25 and Jose’s going to surprise some people.”
During Rivera’s title reigns, unlike other world champions, he also held a full-time job as a court officer in the Massachusetts Trial Court, a position in Worcester that he still holds 17 years later. Between working and training, never mind his family responsibilities, Jose somehow manages to balance everything in his extremely busy life.
“Let’s just say it makes for a busy schedule,” Rivera remarked. “I am committed to taking care of my family and will do whatever it takes. I usually run before work and train after work. Starting early and finishing late makes for busy days, but the job needs to get done. עכשיו, I’m in the middle of the hardest period of training. The week of the fight is more about preparing mentally and making weight. There’s nothing you can do the week of the fight to help you get into better shape.”
Rivera isn’t under any illusions that his comeback will lead to another major world title. The plan is for him to have two more fights to reach a total of 50 כמקצוען, but he’s taking things one fight at a time, and he still hopes his next fight, tentatively slated for later this year, will be on the same card as his son’s pro debut.
Rivera last fought in 2011, taking an eight-round decision over Paul Mpendo, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. The battle-tested Galvan, his Aug. 17ה opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, לְהָבִיא Zab יהודה, חוליו סזאר צ'אבס, ג 'וניור., חורחה פאז ו פול Spadafora.
“I hear he comes to fight and that he likes to fool around a bit to try and get into his opponent’s head,” Rivera added. I’ve concentrated on me, my timing and focus on the game plan
“Training for this fight has been more mental than anything else. I have been able to reach peak performance at 45 training like I did in my prime. The most important thing is that, working with my trainer Sean Fitzgerald, I’ve been focused on making sure my timing gets better since it’s been seven years since I last fought.
“ו, כמובן, it’s always a great feeling to box in front of my hometown fans. Their support is always appreciated.”
The name of the event is “שיבה הביתה” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.
בינוני Kendrick Ball, ג 'וניור. (9-1-2, 6 קוס) and junior middleweight Khiary גריי (15-4, 11 קוס), both promoted by CES Boxing, will be fighting at home in Worcester as pros for the first time in a pair of six-round bouts.
