THE CHAMP IS BACK: referee Bob Benoit (L) and Jose Antonio Rivera

WORCESTER, Masse. (August 19, 2018) – Seven years after his last fight, “Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera returned to the ring in grand fashion last night (Lørdag) til overskrift “Hjemkomst, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment, på The Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 KOS), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Tre-tid, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Smith (10-38-1, 7 KOS) from the opening bell and he never let up.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

Endelig, 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. Jeg føler stor. 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).”

 

 

 

Jose Antonio Rivera (R) had a successful comeback fight

 

 

 

I co-featured begivenhed, Worcester super middleweight Kendrick Ball, Jr. (10-1-2, 7 KOS) demolished Fabian “El Lobo” Valdez (2-4), flooring him with a right uppercut and soon after finished him with a vicious body shot for a technical-knockout victory in the opening round. The popular Ball was fighting at home for the first time as a professional

 

 

 

The rematch between Worcester junior middleweight Khiary Grey (16-4, 12 KOS) og Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 KOS) ended in the same fashion as their first encounter did three years ago. Also fighting at home for the first time, Gray blasted out his game opponent, cracking him with a picture-perfect, left-fight combination that put Fernandez on his back. Fernandez beat the count, but referee Bob Benoit halted the action.

 

 

Southbridge, MA junior middleweight Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Pagan (5-0, 3 KOS) forblev ubesejret, using a relentless body attack to drop Engelberto “Guarura” Valenzuela (11-15, 3 KOS) tre gange, the last ending the fight midway through the third round.

 

 

 

Springfield, MA junior lightweight Joshua Orta (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an impressive pro debut in a barn-burner that ended when (1-8-1, 1 KO), of Worcester, was unable to continue fighting after the third round.

 

 

 

Worcester welterweight Eslih Owuso (1-0) pitched a shutout in his pro debut, decking veteran Bryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-31-2, 6 KOS) to gange i anden runde, på vej til en enstemmig afgørelse sejr.

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the night, 45-årige Jose Angel “KO” Ortiz (5-14-1, 2 KOS) droppet Patrick Leal (0-5) 10-seconds into the fight, once more later in the opening round, and stopped him in the second. Oritz, fighting out of Springfield, MA by way of Puerto Rico, was fighting for the first time in five years, and he registered his first victory in seven.

“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera to headline “Hjemkomst”

The Champ er tilbage!
August 17 på The Palladium i Worcester, MA
“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald

 

WORCESTER, Masse. (Juli 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “Gallo” Jose Rivera returns to the ring August 17 til overskrift “Hjemkomst”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), på The Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Rivera (41-6-1, 24 KOS) has already lost more than 30 pounds, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 KOS) i den otte runde hovedbegivenhed.

 

 

 

I 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, standsning Gilberto Flores i anden runde. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, hjemby favorit Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (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 Alejandro Garcia(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,” Rivera forklarede. “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. 17th show.), 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 tilføjet, “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. Jeg kæmpede på 49 år, 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 Chris (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? Do Not, 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 år senere. 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. Lige nu, 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 som en pro, 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. 17th opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Including Zab Judah, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., Jorge Paez og Paul 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.

 

 

 

“Og, selvfølgelig, 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 “Hjemkomst” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.

 

 

 

Mellemvægt Kendrick Ball, Jr. (9-1-2, 6 KOS) and junior middleweight Khiary Grey (15-4, 11 KOS), 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. Ball meets Demetrius Walker (8-21-2, 4 KOS) in the co-featured event, while Gray (15-4, 11 KOS) ansigter Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 KOS), of Brockton, MA, in a rematch of a fight won by Gray.

 

 

 

Also scheduled to fight on the undercard in four-round bouts are Springfield, MA welterweight Jose Angel “KO” Ortiz (4-13-1, 1 KO) vs. Seth Basler (0-8) and pro-debuting featherweight Joshua Orta vs. Worcester’s Edwin Rosado (1-7-1, 1 KO), Southbridge, MA welterweight Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Pagan (4-0, 2 KOS) vs. TBA, and Worcester’s pro-debuting welterweight Eslih Owusu.vs. Bryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-30-2, 6 KOS).

Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige Fredag:
MALIK SCOTT
“Min dygtighed sæt var god, men dette er en af ​​disse bånd, jeg vil hade at se på, når jeg kommer hjem. Tony slap afsted med en masse. Jeg gør ham savne og ikke gøre ham betale. Men lad os ikke glemme, jeg har ikke kæmpet for et helt år. Jeg er nødt til at få mere aktiv, så efter denne kamp, Vi vil se, hvad der bliver det næste. Jeg er aldrig tilfreds med mine forestillinger, men det er hvad der holder mig i gang.
“Jeg blev såret i det niende, afgjort. Men jeg er i god form, og jeg var ikke bekymret over det. Jeg kom igennem det og lade ham vide, at han ville have til at gøre det igen for at vinde denne kamp.
“Tonys ben er meget langsom, så jeg var bare at miste ham med fødderne hele natten lang.”
TONY THOMPSON
“Han var bare for hurtig. Hvis jeg var yngre ville jeg have fanget ham. En prime Tony ville have smidt hans røv, men jeg er 44 og årene er begyndt at hobe sig op.
“Malik gjorde et stort stykke arbejde med at blive væk, indtil jeg var i stand til at fange ham med en god skud. Han bare pitty-klappede sin vej til sejr.
“Jeg vil bedømme min præstation en D i bedste. Jeg var aggressoren, men jeg har ikke udrydde ham godt nok til sent i kampen. Min træner holdes fortæller mig at gå til højre, men uanset af hvilken grund jeg kun begyndte at gå til højre sent i kampen. Det var, da jeg fangede ham.
“Det var en fremragende præstation af Malik. Han gjorde, hvad han skulle gøre for at en ældre fighter.”
SERGEY LIPINETS
“Han løb for meget. Han ønskede ikke at kæmpe. Det er meget svært at kæmpe nogen, der ikke virkelig ønsker at kæmpe.
“Jeg havde ham ondt i den ottende, niende og tiende runder. Bestemt. Jeg var såre ham med hvert slag, men han holdt så meget det var ikke let at afslutte ham. Plus han tager en god slag.
“Jeg lærte at sætte flere kombinationer sammen. Jeg kom til at kæmpe, ikke køre.
“Han tror, ​​han vandt kampen? Han er den eneste i hele arena. Jeg vandt hver runde. De gav ham et par runder. Han bør være glade for det.”
Lydell RHODES
“Bedømmelsen er, hvad der gik galt. Jeg vandt denne kamp. Jeg følte, jeg kontrollerede det meste af kampen indtil de sidste par runder.
“Han kom på stærke i de senere runder. Han fangede mig i den syvende, ottende og niende runder, men jeg kontrollerede de første seks.
“Han var ikke så stærk. Han havde god pres, men jeg var aldrig såre i kampen.
“Jeg ved, jeg har vundet denne kamp.”
SAMUEL FIGUEROA
“Jeg arbejdede hårdt uddannelse til denne kamp. Den sparring i lejren var enestående. Jeg var i store betingelse for denne kamp.
“Jeg vidste Javontae var en stor fighter, men jeg var forberedt på ham. Han ramte mig en masse, men jeg var i for godt af form til at blive såret.
“Jeg er så taknemmelig for denne mulighed. Jeg sætter pris på det. Prichard Colon var dette for dig.”
JAVONTAE Starks
“Det var min skyld for at overlade det til dommerne. Jeg føler, at jeg kunne have gjort meget mere.
“En enstemmig afgørelse er lidt svært at tage. Jeg gav en masse runder væk. Jeg har brug for at være mere travlt næste gang. Det var en lærerig oplevelse.
“Det tager karakter til at komme tilbage fra et tab, og jeg vil komme tilbage bedre end nogensinde.”
GERVONTA DAVIS
“Jeg gjorde det godt. Jeg har brug for at arbejde på nogle ting. Jeg lyttede til mit hjørne og Floyd, Jeg er taknemmelig for alle, der fik mig parat.
“Vi får helt tilbage i ringen og fortsætte med at få det bedre.”
FLOYD Mayweather
“Gervonta er en ung knægt fra Baltimore, der kommer fra en ru baggrund som mig selv. Han arbejder hårdt og er dedikeret til sporten boksning.
“Mayweather Promotions ønsker at tage ham til det næste niveau. Det endelige mål er at se ham bryde alle mine poster.”
