The addition of Gonzalez with a card featuring some of tomorrow’s stars such as Hartford, CT light heavyweight champion Рычард “Папа Морячок Чалавек” Рывэра (6-0, 5 КО) means two of the top three prospects in New England will be in action this Saturday in Derry. And several other promising boxers will also be in action. Rivera faces Юрлівы “The Rattler” Кэмпбэл, of Ohio, in the six-round co-featured event.

Granite Chin’s “Rumble at The RIM” АФІЦЫЙНЫЯ ВЫНІКІ

Рычард “Popeye the Sailor Man” Рывэра
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.

Arguably the greatest Worcester fighter in the past 50 years is three-time, Два-чэмпіён свету Jose Antonio “Gallo” Рывэра, who is promoting “Будучыня Новай Англіі” with his son, Anthonee. “I have seen Irvin train and fight since he was in the Junior Olympics,” Rivera said. “I am very proud of him because he was able to discover on his own that he was getting in his own way. He was always a talented fighter but, at times in the ring, he was inconsistent and it cost him a few fights. As he got older, he boxed more talented boxers and looked good against them. He started believing in himself more and it showed in his training. His abilities and confidence grew and that got him all the way to the Olympic Trials. I feel he has the skills to become world champion in the future. The sky is the limit for this young man and I am proud to have him fighting on our show.”
Гансалес, a 2015 Новая Англія Залатога чэмпіён пальчаткі, will be headlining his first show in his first scheduled six-round bout. “Fighting in my hometown in the main event means a lot to me because,” Gonzalez admitted. “I’ve grown up in this city, fighting my whole life, and of people who’ve supported me will be watching me fight for the first time as a pro. Я ўсхваляваны. I’m comfortable fighting here in Worcester and I want to showcase the boxing talent we have in Worcester.”
Gonzalez qualified for the 2016 Olympic Trials but he was eliminated, not due to a loss in the ring, for missing weight. He decided not to wait four years for another Olympic shot, turning pro this past March with a first-round stoppage of Gilvan Santos at Foxwoods Resort Casino. In four pro fights to date, Gonzalez has four knockouts and only one was extended into the second round.
“I was always told that I had a pro boxing style,” the well-spoken, handsome Gonzalez continued, “but we didn’t immediately decide to turn pro until the time was right. I had some stoppages as an amateur but, а пра, I’ve been going more to the body. I do have heavy hands. I don’t go into a fight looking for a knockout. I just let ’em come but I’ve prepared to go six rounds if needed for this fight. I’ve been sparring eight rounds with different guys coming in fresh.”
In addition to being a prize fighter, the 20-year-old Gonzalez works at a bank and he also owns and operates New England Boxing gym with his father, former boxer Ірвін Гансалес, where the youngster serves as a personal trainer.

REMINDER: The deadline to apply for a media credential is Студзеня. 12й

Вустер, Маса. (Студзеня 5, 2017) – Auburn (Масачусэтс) у першай сярэдняй “Ірландскі” Chuck Shearns will become the second-oldest professional fighter in Massachusetts boxing history у чацвер ноч, Студзеня 19, in his farewell performance at the Worcester Palladium, marking the first pro boxing event in Worcester, located in Central Mass., in more than five years.
Першае “Будучыня Новай Англіі” series event is being presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЭ), which is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-час, 2-чэмпіён свету Jose Antonio “Gallo” Рывэра – і яго сын, Anthonee “AJ” Рывэра.
Rising junior lightweight prospect, 2015 Новая Англія Залатога чэмпіён пальчаткі Ірвін Гансалес (4-0, 4 КО), will be fighting at home in the 6-round main event against Mexican invader Oscar Eduardo Quezada (2-1, 1 KO), while Springfield (Масачусэтс) паўцяжкай вага Reinaldo “Базука” Graceski (4-0, 2 КО) сустракаецца з Вустэрам Ralph Johnson (2-9, 1 KO) in the six-round co-feature.
The 49-year-old Shearns (2-1, 1 KO), who is the general manager of Lundgren Honda in Auburn, возьме на сябе Shavonte Dixon (0-1), Філадэльфія, in a four-round bout. The state record, set in 2011 by then 53-year-old Joe Siciliano, is safe because Jan. 19й will definitely be Shearns’ last fight.
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for all boxers in terms of what they go through to be able to perform at their best in the ring,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “Chuck is doing it at 49 гадоў! That takes a lot of sacrifice and courage to put your body through that rugged training. I wish him the best and I am glad I can provide him with the opportunity to be able to say goodbye to boxing on his own terms.”
Shearns made his amateur debut at the age of 29, 10 years later he made his professional debut. “I grew up watching boxing with my father (Джон), who boxed in the Navy, and my grandfather (Джон),” Shearns explained. “My grandfather was a club fighter, так, boxing was in my blood. I only had four amateur fights and one day I met “Fitzy,” who is now one of my closest friends. (Sean Fitzgerald, one of Worcester’s all-time best boxers, who is Shearns’ head trainer.) I told him I wanted one pro fight and asked him to train me.”
Чаму, хоць, ва ўзросце ад 49 does he still put himself through such extensive training, while working fulltime during the holiday season, to fight an opponent half his age?
“Boxing was the ultimate hobby for me and I just got carried away with it,” Shearns admitted. “I’m a novelty, not a real pro boxer. I’m fighting Студзеня 19й because I was given this opportunity and decided to accept it but, сумленна, I’m sure that this it! Maybe I just wanted a chance to go out with a win because I lost my last one? Не ведаю. Sometimes I wake up asking myself, ‘What am I doing?’ And ‘Fitzy’ is working me so hard for this fight – I don’t know if it’s my age or what – but I’ve hated every minute of it. I lost my father in March. He was always in my corner and this fight I’ll have RIP on my trunks in his honor.”
Lately, Shearns’ typical day has been, добра, in a word, unordinary, to say the least. He reports to work at 5 a.m., exercises and runs on the treadmill for an hour in a small gym at work, catches up with “Fitzy” at Anytime Fitness to hit the heavy and speed bags, and after work “Fitzy” trains Shearns at Camp Get Right.
Shearns has the complete support of his family and co-workers, who will all be at the Worcester Palladium supporting him Студзеня. 19. “My wife (Karen) and two daughters (Kayla and Olivia) have always been there for me,” Shearns noted. “My wife supports me and has jokingly said, ‘We’re getting divorced if you lose this fight.’ I’ve worked at Lundgren Honda for about 20 years and most of the 100-plus employees there will be at my fight. I did want to fight one more time before I turn 50. When Jose asked me to fight, how could I pass up this final opportunity?”
