QUINCY, Masse. (November 1, 2021) – Granite Chin Promotions seneste underskriver, New Englands weltervægtsmester Mike "Bad Boy" Ohan (13-1, 7 KOS), vil lukke ud 2021 overskriften "Championship Road,” lørdag aften, November 13, streames live lørdag aften, November 13, påbxngtv.com, fra The Rim i Hampton, New Hampshire.

Ohan, kæmper ud af Holbrook (MA), vil være i sin første planlagte 10-runders kamp mod den mexicanske udfordrer Israel "Filipino Tigre" Rojas (14-24, 5 KOS) i en super letvægter, kamp uden titel.

“Ti runder betyder meget for mig," sagde Ohan. "Det er noget, jeg har set hele mit liv, fordi alle legender kæmpede med 10-rounders. Dette er specielt for mig. Jeg er klar til at gå, og jeg vil udklasse min modstander."

Ohan erobrede den ledige New England-titel i november sidste år, da han vandt en enstemmig beslutning i 8 runder over Ryan Dibartolomeo, efterfulgt af et vellykket titelforsvar i sin sidste kamp i juni, da udfordreren Tyrone Luckey trak sig efter de fem runder.

New England-titlen er et springbræt, og næste år føler jeg, at jeg kan samle flere titelbælter næste år," han tilføjede. "Jeg skrev under med Chris (Traietti, formand for Granite Chin Promotions) fordi jeg vil i store kampe. Jeg kan ikke vente til denne kamp, Jeg er allerede i topform. To fyre, jeg for nylig besejrede, slog ubesejrede modstandere ud, (Eric) Palmer (WSD6 vs. 8-0-1 Ruddicus Livsey) og Luckey (WKO1 og WKO6 vs. 7-0-1 Eduardo Aguilar)."

En tidligere 2-dobbelt Southern New England Golden Gloves-mester, den nu 27-årige Ohan er søn af en tidligere prizefighter, mellemvægt Mike Ohan (14-6-2, 11 KOs – 1983-95), der sparrede "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler. Ohan, Jrs bedstefar på sin mors side boksede også.

”Jeg så altid op til min far som en fighter,"Ohan., Jr. nævnte, »men han ville ikke have, at jeg skulle bokse. Jeg startede sent og gik ikke i fitnesscenter, før jeg var 16 at hjælpe med at holde sig ude af problemer. Min far støtter, og han går til mine kampe. Jeg blev forelsket i boksning med det samme, og jeg føler mig endnu stærkere ved det i dag."

Ohans fødenavn er Ohanian, men han er irsk. "Det ligger i mit blod,”Forklarede han. ”Det går tilbage til de gamle barkno-dage. Min far er irsk på sin mors side, Armensk på sin fars. Min bedstemor er irsk på begge sider. Så, Jeg har en masse irsk i mig fra mine forældre.”

Richard “Popeye the Sailor Man” Rivera
Good to finish because he eats his spinach
Russell Kimber wins pro debut
HAMPTON, N.H. (December 9, 2017) — Colorful light heavyweight prospect Richard “Skipper Skræk Man” Rivera forblev ubesejret (5-0, 4 KOS), veteran Roberto “Den Gamle” Valenzuela, last night (Lør) i “Rumble at The RIM” main event, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at The RIM Sports Complex in Hampton, New Hampshire.
Rivera, fighting out of Hartford (CT), controlled the action from the opening bell against his battle-tested opponent from Mexico, who had a tremendous experience advantage in his 147th pro kamp, 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 Mike Ryan 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, vi er familie.
I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. Næste, 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 Shearns sagde, “despite some things going against us like tonight’s weather. We’re grateful for the support we received from Hampton, New Hampshire, 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 championsfather Tommy and uncleworked his cornerPeabody, MA 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. Nu, 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 Mike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr.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 KOS) 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 Ryan “Den polske Prince” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 KOS), fighting out of Quincy (MA), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight Francisco “El MonoMedal. 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 Chris “Sandman” Thomas (7-0-1, 4 KOS) 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.
