Matt “Sharp ShooterRemillard’s Ring comeback no April Fool’s Joke

New England’s Future 2”, Ebrill 1 yng Nghaerwrangon

Matt Remillard (canolfan) is prepared to make up for lost time

WORCESTER, Offeren. (Mawrth 20, 2017) – The long trip back begins April 1st am Matt “Sharp ShooterRemillard, 12 years to the day from his professional debut, ar y “New England’s Future 2show at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Remillard (23-1, 13 Kos), fighting out of Manchester, Connecticut, hasn’t boxed for the six years, due to him serving a five-year prison sentence. He takes on Lawrence (MA) ysgafn Augustine “Ddidostur” Maura (6-1-3, 3 Kos) in the eight-round co-feature. If their tense, near volatile stare-down at a recent press conference is a true indication, Remillard vs. Mauras is not going the distance, to put things mildly.
New England’s Future 2is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, bencampwr byd dau is-adran Jose Antonio Rivera a'i fab, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
I am excited to have a boxer of Remillard’s caliber on our ‘New England’s Future 2’ Digwyddiad bocsio,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “He has a tough match against August time Mauras for his first fight back. Knowing Remillard, er bod, he wouldn’t have it any other way. I want to thank Matt, Paul Cichon (pen hyfforddwr) and their team for trusting Rivera Promotions Entertainment for Matt’s first boxing match back from his long layoff.
Remillard is a former World Boxing Council (CLlC) Unol Daleithiau & Youth World, North American Boxing Federation (NABF) a Sefydliad Bocsio Byd (WBO) featherweight champion. His lone pro loss came in his last fight, Mawrth 23, 2011 in Atlantic City to then rising star Mikey Garcia (24-0), when Remillard retired after 11 rowndiau. He won’t make excuses; Fodd bynnag,, he never should have taken the fight with Garcia, facing the impending court case that sent him to prison and working with a new head trainer he’d only met two weeks prior to the fight.
I’m confident I can get back to where I was in about a year,” the 30-year-old Remillard said. “A dream come true would be a rematch with Garcia, at any weight, but I have to earn that shot. Everybody wants a rematch with the guy who gave you the first loss. It seldom happens but, os nad, in time I believe there will be other big fights out there for me.
I’m fighting an opponent who fought by buddy, Chip Perez, dair gwaith (0-2-1), so I’m familiar with his style. He doesn’t back down. I don’t expect him to back down against meuntil he feels my power. I’m going to take out those five years that I was away on him. I’ve been through so much the last six year but I’m most comfortable in the gym. The past is past and this is my last run. Paul and I have a lot of unfinished business to take care of.
Seventeen years ago, Chicon first met Remillard at the Manchester PAL gym, but he made the 13-year-old aspiring boxer earn his opportunity to be trained. Paul made Matt clean the bathrooms, take care of spit buckets, ac ati. before he started training him.
When he returned to the gym a few months back, I saw that his work ethic hadn’t faded,” Cichon commented. “I don’t believe he’s really that far away from where he was six years ago. He was idle five years but his first day back he sparred 12 rowndiau. He stayed in good physical shape and is hungrier than ever. He thinks he has something to prove after his last fight, but he really doesn’t have anything to prove to me or anybody else. He is fighting a tough kid but Matt’s going to be victorious. I think in four or five more fights he’ll be back where he was in boxing.
Pembroke (MA) cruiserweight VinnieAmerican NightmareCarita (15-1-1, 14 KOs will headline against Brazilian KO specialist Gilberto MatheusEl MagicoDomingos (22-6, 20 Kos), the former South American light heavyweight champion, in the eight-round main event.

DYFYNIADAU CYNHADLEDD I'R WASG
Vinnie Carita: “I saw the last (RPE) show and it was great. I’m happy to be on this show. This is a great show with a lot of New England talent. There’s going to be fireworks!”
Matt Remillard: “Yr oeddwn mewn (RPE’s) last fight and it sold out. That’s awesome. They’re making boxing better, not only in Worcester, but throughout New England. Ebrill 1, 2005, I turned pro. I never fought in Worcester before. It’s a great atmosphere. This has been a long time coming, six years I’m going to punish him for. It will not go the distance, I can promise that. He won’t recognize himself after the fight. After I knock him down, I hope he gets back up because I want to punish him. This isn’t a game. I’m in the hurt business.
Augustine Mauras: “I truly thank Matt Remillard for fighting somebody like me. I’m not an easy cookie. He’s going to be in the toughest fight of his life. I’m going to put you (Remillard) on his ass. I’m here to fight this man! It’s going to be a helluva fight.
Jose Antonio Rivera, CEO/promoter: “I appreciate the support we received for our last show and we’re looking ahead to booking our next show in June. I can’t really say anything about that, eto. I want to thank our sponsors. My roots are here in Worcester and that’s why so many of the fighters on this show are from here. We aren’t signing fighters, just giving them a platform to fight. We’re happy, ar hyn o bryd, helping to provide them with a platform to go on to bigger and better things. Rivera Promotions Entertainment hopes to move fighters and allow them to showcase their skills. We’re very happy about this show. Remillard versus Mauras alone is worth the price of admission.
Anthonee Rivera, President/matchmaker: “It’s been a lot of fun for us so far. We’re proud to bring boxing back to New England. There are a lot of great fighters on our April 1st card with top prospects, former Golden Gloves champs, top fighters like Matt Remillard and future world champions. All of these guys took the opponents they were offered, no cherry-picking, and that shows what kind of fighters they really are. Rydym wedi 13 fights and don’t blink during any one of them.
Bryan Daniels: “I’m a student of Worcester boxing and Jose Rivera was the most established fighter. He came from nothing to become world champion. Never in a million years did I think I’d be fighting on his card. I’m humbled. I was hoping to get an opponent with experience to bring the best out of me. This will be my first time fighting in Worcester to showcase my skills. I’m originally from Illinois but Worcester has a lot to offer, including Rivera Promotions Entertaining giving us a platform.
Anthony Laureano: “I’m very thankful to be fighting on another Rivera Promotions Entertainment card. They did an awesome job last show and I’m grateful to be fighting again on their card. This will be a big test. Rivera Promotions gave me a platform to be signed by Star Boxing. Jose Rivera was a fighter and he knows what we need.
Andino Ranse: “I have a fulltime job, go to the gym, and take care of my son. I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment for allowing me to fight. I also want to thank Carlos Garcia, he’s the man! Jose’s been my idol since I first stepped into the gym.
Neal Sullivan: “I grew up with AJ and Jose has always been good to me. I wouldn’t be fighting if I didn’t trust them. They look out for fighters. I’m a student of the game and know the history of Worcester boxing. I look forward to bringing it Ebrill 1st.”
Derrick Whitley: “My father was a professional boxer and I’ve been around boxing my whole life watching him. Mae hyn yn fy amser, the beginning of my journey.
Luis Santiago: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment this opportunity. I’ve been ready since the last show (his opponent failed the pre-fight medical exam) and haven’t stopped working. Ebrill 1st will be the start of my pro career. It’s going to b e a great show and I’m going to end-up with a win.
Mykqyan Williams: “Rwy'n teimlo'n gyffrous iawn. Gwersyll hyfforddi wedi bod yn ardderchog. Matt (Remillard) and myself have helped each get ready. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show.
