 WORCESTER, Massa. (Februari 11, 2018) – Prospek terkalahkan Richard “Popeye si pelaut” Rivera selesai Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs di babak ketiga, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New England Masa Depan 5” kartu, disajikan oleh Rivera Promosi Entertainment, di The Palladium di Worcester, Massachusetts.
The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 Biaya) fought once again in front of his large, traveling fanbase from Hartford, CT, capturing the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) light heavyweight title in dramatic fashion. The charismatic Hartford boxer ended his third consecutive match with what has become his trademark right-uppercut.
Rivera used his strength, energy and determined will to defeat South Boston’s Cobbs (10-3, 4 Biaya), whose previous fight had been more than a year ago, when he was stopped in the second round by now world champion David Benavidez.
In only his sixth pro fight, the key question going into the bout was whether Rivera was ready to effectively step up in class to face a more experienced Cobbs. Right from the opening bell, the answer was a resounding, iya nih, as Rivera pounded Cobbs with powerful shots to the body and head.
Cobbs was dropped three times in the third round, one was ruled a push, and the end came when referee Jackie Morrell halted the action at the 2:51 as a reeling Cobbs was blasted backwards from the Rivera’s previously mentioned uppercut.
 The beginning of the end for Cobbs (L) as Rivera sets up his vaunted uppercut
“I stepped things up in the third,” Rivera menjelaskan. “He stopped throwing as many punches in the third and was ducking in. I said I wasn’t going to look for the knockout but, if it came, I’d take it. I got him with my uppercut. I respect Cobbs and thank him for giving me this opportunity.”
