Former national amateur champion Bobby Harris III breaking out of shadow cast by his father with a little help from his friends

Οκτώβριος 28 στο Worcester, ΜΑ
(L-R) – εμπρός: Bobby Harris III holding Bobby Harris IV and A.J. Ριβέρα; όπισθεν: Bobby Harris and Jose Antonio Rivera
WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Οκτώβριος 2, 2017) – Local prospect Άγγλος αστυφύλακας “ΒΗ3” Harris III is ready to breakout of the shadows cast by his father, retired pro boxer Bobby Harris, εκκίνηση Σάββατο νύχτα, Οκτώβριος 28, in the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας”, στο DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) στο Worcester, Μασαχουσέτη.
New England’s Future 4is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, δύο διαίρεση παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Jose Antonio Rivera και ο γιος του, Anthonee (Α.Ι.) Ριβέρα.
“ΒΗ3” and A.J. grew-up together in gyms as sons of pro fighters. They had dreams of making it in boxing, which has come to fruition with “ΒΗ3” η αυξανόμενη προοπτική, Α.Ι. the president and matchmaker for RPE. Κατά καιρούς, αν και, what’s transpired may be somewhat surreal for both young men.
I grew up in boxing,” Bobby Harris III explained. “My father always brought me to the gym and his fights. My uncle, Adam Harris, was also a pro boxer. My father and Jose were super close, me and A.J. grew-up as brothers. The same blood couldn’t make us any closer. It’s me and AJ. My first amateur fight was when I was 13. Α.Ι. used to run and workout with me. I’d go to his house after school and sleep over on weekends. We planned our lives together in boxing; my job is to fight and A.J. promotes and makes matches.
I remember growing up with Bobby as my brother,” Α.Ι. προστεθεί. “We did everything together: ran, trained, sparred and pushed each other to our greatest limits. He’s grown so much over the years. His natural ability, mixed with years of experience, and Bobby growing into a man will surely lead to him being world champion one day. I’m truly proud and excited to see our childhood plan unfold.
“ΒΗ3” only had about 40 amateur matches but the large majority were at the national level. He is a two-time national amateur champion, including a gold-medal performance in the USA National Championships, and as a member of Team USA, he was rated No. 1 στο Η.Π.Α., και αριθ. 2 στον κόσμο.
The 21-year-old decided to turn pro earlier this year, rather than wait for a shot at the Olympics, after discussing his options with his father, as well as Jose and A.J. Ριβέρα, plus his head trainer, Rocky Gonzalez. Worcester boxers such as Jermaine Ortiz και Ίρβιν Γκονζάλες turning pro, along with the arrival of now 8-month-old Bobby Harris IV, were key factors in his decision to become a professional boxer. “I didn’t want to waste another year,” Bobby admitted. “Turning pro now will get me into rankings earlier. The time was right
Bobby’s father was a 4-time national amateur champion as a super heavyweight who compiled a 20-2-1 (13 KOs) pro record between 1993 και 1999. Σήμερα, he is an important member of his son’s corner, but he did leave a shadow cast over his son, especially across New England.
People will always compare me with my dad, στο δαχτυλίδι, αλλά, as good as he was, it’s a great honor to be his son,” Bobby Harris III remarked. “It’s been nothing but good for me. He trained with fighters like (Όσκαρ) De La Hoya, (Shane) Mosley, (Έβαντερ) Holyfield and so many other great fighters. We are different, αν και. and now I’m establishing my own identity. The sport has changed so much since he fought. Back then it was mostly two guys beating each other up, not as much of a performance. I like to put on a good performance and have people say, ‘He’s cool, and when does he fight again. My dad has told me how different boxing is today compared to when he fought. Τώρα, marketing is so important for fighters, and a lot of exposure is through social media.
My father was a heavyweight, I’m going to go down to 154 (κατώτερο middleweight. He is so much bigger, taller and heavier than I am, so fighting in different weight classes separates us. I’m a different style fighter, πάρα πολύ. I’m more active than him. So that people don’t confuse us when talking, I came up with ‘BH3as my persona. We are different in and out of the ring.
I have known Little Bobby (as I call him) since he was born,” Jose Rivera noted. “He calls me, Tio (uncle) Χοσέ, and I love him like a member of my family. I am happy and proud to see little Bobby go after his dreams and goals his way and on his terms. I wouldn’t want it any other way. My son, Α.Ι., and I are happy that we can use our RPE company to be able to help little Bobby pursue his dreams and goals. Worcester – and soon enough the rest of the worldwill know it’s BH3 Time!”
“ΒΗ3” turned pro this past Ιούνιος 10, in his Worcester hometown, taking a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 Χ 3) over an awkward opponent, Rodrigo Almeida, who seemed more interested in survival, often frustrating “ΒΗ3” with his constant holding.
I’m happy with the way that fight went because I learned so much,” Bobby commented. “I was so excited with all the hype about my pro debut, and I was into the crowd trying for the knockout. I learned that I need to take my time, have fun, throw combinations and that the knockout will come. Dad liked to jab, I like to hit and run likeΖάχαρη’ Ακτίνα (Leonard). My first pro fight wasn’t really me. I’m the matador but I can fight like a bull if the opportunity comes to me. I can change things around but I forgot to have fun in my pro debut.

(Ιούνιος 11, 2017) – Boxing returned to DCU Arena (Exhibition Hall) για πρώτη φορά σε 11 χρόνια and Worcester’s newest budding star, Ίρβιν Γκονζάλες, entertained the hometown crowd, capturing the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) Featherweight Championship, last night in theNew England’s Future 3” Main Event.

The 21-year-old Gonzalez (7-0, 6 KOs) was fighting in his first scheduled eight-round bout, κατά Raul Lopez (10-32-1, 5 KOs), του Μπρονξ (Νέα Υόρκη). The two fighters came out fast in a firefight, both throwing leather from all angles, although neither was hurt in the opening round. The pace picked up even more in the second as both fighters landed solid shots.
Fighting in the third round for the first time in his young professional career, Gonzalez turned up the heat, ripping effective combination to the head and body of Lopez, who responded by pounding Gonzalez on the ropes.
Gonzalez dropped Lopez early in the fourth with a strong right to the chin, followed by a brawling fifth round, and the action slowed slightly in the sixth. Γκονζάλες, who took control in the final two rounds, went the distance for the first time, taking a hard-fought eight-round unanimous decision (79-73 Χ 2, 76-75).
He was definitely the toughest I’ve fought,” Gonzalez said after the fight. “I still have to work on things in the gym. I didn’t go to the body like I did in my last few fights. I was head-hunting tonight. The dude was tough, I had to out-box him. I hurt my left hand late in the later rounds and stayed southpaw.
I definitely learned a lot. My conditioning was there and I went eight strong rounds. Νιώθω καλά, I could go another eight rounds. Fighting at home was good, I have a big fan-base here. I hope to be back here in October 28ου.”
Lamonakis (10-2-3, 1 KO), a former IBO world champion, and past GBU world titlist Ramsey (108-1, 5 KOs) went toe-to-toe from the opening bell for 10 ανταγωνιστικός, non-stop rounds, ending in a 10-round draw by three judges’ ένα σωρό φορές 95-95.
Undefeated Worcester heavyweight Bryan Daniels (5-0, 3 KOs) unloaded on an over-matched ChristopherThe ArchbishopBoykins (1-9), dropping the Floridian three times in the second round until referee Leo Gerstel mercifully waved off the fight at the end of the second.
Former No. 1 USA amateur boxer Bobby Harris III, the son of multiple national amateur champion and retired pro heavyweight, Bobby Harris, made his long-awaited pro debut. Fighting out of Worcester, Harris overcame early roughhouse tactics by Brazilian light heavyweight Rodrigo Almeida, του Woburn, ΜΑ, to earn a four-round “αποκλείσει” απόφαση.
In a rematch of a fight this past April, Antonio Chaves Fernandez (8-32-4, 2 KOs), of Brockton (ΜΑ), defeated Worcester welterweight Andy Gonzalez (6-2, 5 KOs), by way of a six-round majority decision, to even their rivalry at 1-1.
Southbridge, MA welterweight Wilfredo “η Sucaro” Ειδωλολατρικός (2-0) and his Lawrence, MA opponent, Anthony Everett (1-6), turned in an entertaining performance as Pagan won a four-round majority decision, despite him being decked in the final round.
Λαυρέντιος, MA welterweight Adrian Sosa (3-0, 3 KOs) needed only 41-second to stop New York City’s Zach Johnson (0-2). Sosa dropped Johnson in the first 10 seconds and again moments later, after which referee Gerstel halted the action.
Σπρίνγκφιλντ, MA welterweight Γερανός “διπλό επιπτώσεων” Whitley (2-0), the son of a retired professional boxer, βελτιώθηκε σε 2-0 with a four-round unanimous decision over veteran Connecticut fighter Shaka Moore (12-23-3, 2 KOs).

I am excited to be able to have our first world championship boxing match on our ‘New England’s 3’ πυγμαχία εκδήλωση,” promoter Jose Rivera commented. “It’s special because it’s a women’s World Heavyweight title fight with veterans like Sonya and Laura, who also have some hostilities towards one another.

I heard Jose was promoting shows in Worcester, so I called to say I’d like to fight for a world title on one of his cards. I think he saw me fight before and he quickly agreed.
This is still a make-dominates sport. I tell young girls to box as a side job. I have two Master’s Degrees and I’m a full-time teacher in New York. Boxing is my hobby. Very few women can make enough money boxing to make a good living. I don’t know if it’s because I was born in Greece and boxing is in my blood, but I love this sport and that’s what keeps me going. I guess I was born to fight. I enjoy getting in the ring. I’ve gotten a lot from boxing and now I’m giving back to amateurs in New York City as president of a youth organization.
Lamonakis; is a former International Boxing Organization World and New York State female heavyweight champion. Her opponent, Ramsey (10-7, KOs), as a two-time world title challenger is hoping the third time is the charm for her. They have history together and this fight nearly happened a few years ago.
I beat her daughter (Alysia Williams-Stevenson) in my second pro fight,” Lamonakis explained. “She said she’s see me and now, seven years later, we’re fighting. She’s a little older than me and I needed more fights before I fought her. We were supposed to fight a few years ago in Aruba but a hurricane cancelled the show.

“Αυτό είναι μια μεγάλη ευκαιρία για μένα,” Γκονζάλες είπε. “I’m blessed to be fighting in Worcester for my first title. It’s not a big title but it’s like taking baby steps to a world title. Since I started boxing at the Boys & Girls Club, I always wanted to be like Jose, a three-time world champion. Τώρα, it’s my turn, and I’m fighting again in my city.
Gonzalez has a perfect pro record: six rights, six wins by knockout. Ωστόσο, he’s only had fought a grand total of eight rounds, and June 10ου he’s in a scheduled eight-round match. The well-spoken youngster isn’t concerned with the step up in rounds and opposition.
I’ve been asked about that by a lot of media, trainers and other fighters,” αυτός εξήγησε. “I’ve always trained like it’s for a world title fight, 12 γύρους, so I’m not worried about going into deep water. I’m in magnificent shape, three weeks before the fight, and even in the amateurs I’ve always gotten stronger as the fight went along. In sparring, I get stronger, so going eight isn’t a problem for me.
I don’t really know much about my opponent. He won a few national titles but hasn’t fought too often. I’ll see what he brings into the ring and then adjust. I know I’m taller.
Gonzalez learned a lot when he was a sparring partner for Guillermo Rigondeaux in Florida that was supposed to be a six-week training camp that ended after three weeks due to Rigondeauxfight being cancelled.
I learned a lot about different training methods that I now use,” Irvin continued. “His techniques are phenomenal. I was around a world champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist and I saw his work ethic. After all he’s accomplished, he still has a great work ethic, and I learned from him that a fighter need continue working like he does until the day it’s all over. It’s not all about money, it’s having fun every day, doing what we love.

Prospect Irvin Gonzalez continuing Worcester boxing tradition Jan 19th

Inaugural “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας” series event in Worcester
WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Ιανουάριος 11, 2017) – Fast rising featherweight prospect Ίρβιν Γκονζάλες (4-0, 4 KOs) will continue Worcester’s rich boxing tradition Πέμπτηνύχτα, Ιανουάριος 19, headlining the inaugural “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας” series event against Mexican invader Ισραήλ “TigreRojas (9-14, 3 KOs), at the Worcester Palladium.

Worcester’s boxing tradition started close to a century ago with Canadian import Lou Brouillard, a two-division world champion and Hall of Famer, 1928 Χάλκινος Ολυμπιονίκης Leo Sawicki, and more recently, μεταξύ άλλων, pro and amateur standouts such as multiple national amateur champion Bobby Harris, Sean “The Irish ExpressSean Fitzgerald και Edwin Rodriguez.
Arguably the greatest Worcester fighter in the past 50 years is three-time, δύο-τμήματος παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Jose Antonio “Το Gallo” Ριβέρα, who is promoting “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας” 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.
Γκονζάλες, ένα 2015 Νέας Αγγλίας Golden Gloves πρωταθλητής, 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. Είμαι ενθουσιασμένος. 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, ως επαγγελματίας, 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 Ίρβιν Γκονζάλες, where the youngster serves as a personal trainer.

49-year-old pro boxer “Ιρλανδικός” Chuck Shearns Hanging up gloves January 19th

ΓΙΑ ΑΜΕΣΗ ΔΗΜΟΣΙΕΥΣΗ
ΥΠΕΝΘΥΜΙΣΗ: The deadline to apply for a media credential is Ιαν. 12ου

WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Ιανουάριος 5, 2017) – Auburn (ΜΑ) κατώτερο middleweight “Ιρλανδικός” Chuck Shearns will become the second-oldest professional fighter in Massachusetts boxing history την Πέμπτη νύχτα, Ιανουάριος 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.
Η εναρκτήρια “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας” series event is being presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-ώρα, 2-διαίρεση παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Jose Antonio “Το Gallo” Ριβέρα – και ο γιος του, AnthoneeAJ” Ριβέρα.
Rising junior lightweight prospect, 2015 Νέας Αγγλίας Golden Gloves πρωταθλητής Ίρβιν Γκονζάλες (4-0, 4 KOs), will be fighting at home in the 6-round main event against Mexican invader Oscar Eduardo Quezada (2-1, 1 KO), while Springfield (ΜΑ) ελαφρύ βαρέων βαρών Reinaldo “Μπαζούκα” Graceski (4-0, 2 KOs) meets Worcester’s 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, θα αναλάβει Shavonte Dixon (0-1), της Φιλαδέλφειας, σε μια τέσσερις-στρογγυλή περίοδο. The state record, set in 2011 by then 53-year-old Joe Siciliano, is safe because Jan. 19ου will definitely be Shearns’ τελευταίος αγώνας.
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 ετών! 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 (Γιάννης), who boxed in the Navy, and my grandfather (Γιάννης),” Shearns explained. “My grandfather was a club fighter, έτσι, boxing was in my blood. I only had four amateur fights and one day I metFitzy,” who is now one of my closest friends. (Sean Fitzgerald, one of Worcester’s all-time best boxers, who is Shearnshead trainer.) I told him I wanted one pro fight and asked him to train me.
Γιατί, αν και, σε ηλικία 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 Ιανουάριος 19ου because I was given this opportunity and decided to accept it but, τίμια, I’m sure that this it! Maybe I just wanted a chance to go out with a win because I lost my last one? Δεν γνωρίζω. Sometimes I wake up asking myself, ‘What am I doing?’ And ‘Fitzyis working me so hard for this fightI don’t know if it’s my age or whatbut 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, Shearnstypical day has been, καλά, in a word, unordinary, to say the least. He reports to work at 5 π.μ.., exercises and runs on the treadmill for an hour in a small gym at work, catches up withFitzyat Anytime Fitness to hit the heavy and speed bags, and after workFitzytrains 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 Ιαν. 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?”
Also fighting on the undercard in 4-round bouts are Worcester junior lightweight Andino Ranse in his pro debut vs. Lowell’s (ΜΑ) Jonathan Perez (2-0-1, 2 KOs), pro-debuting Worcester heavyweight Felix Martinez vs. Dorchester’s (ΜΑ) Brian Richardson (0-8), Hartford’s (CT) pro-debuting light heavyweight Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Ριβέρα vs. Brockton’s (ΜΑ) Huston Crayton (1-8, 0 KOs), pro-debuting Southbridge (ΜΑ) πυγμάχος Wilfredo Pagan vs. Puerto Rican Alexander Picot (1-1-1, 0 KOs) at a 145-pound catchweight, pro-debuting Springfield (ΜΑ) junior featherweight Luis “Pancho” Σαντιάγκο vs, Mexican Jonathan Ramos (1-2, 0 KOs), 2016 N.W.

Inaugural “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας” series event in Worcester

Professional Boxing returns Jan. 19 to Worcester Junior lightweight prospect Irvin Gonzalez headlines Inaugural “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας” series event

WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Δεκέμβριος 29, 2016) — Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE) held a press conference yesterday to formally announce its inaugural show, “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας,” Thursday night, Ιανουάριος 19, at the Worcester Palladium. It will mark the first professional boxing event in Worcester, located in Central Mass., σε πέντε χρόνια.
Rivera Promotions Entertainment is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-ώρα, 2-διαίρεση παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Jose Antonio “Το Gallo” Ριβέραalong with his son, AnthoneeAJ” Ριβέρα, whose collective goal is to bring boxing back to Worcester on a consistent basis, providing boxers a platform and fans a full entertainment experience.
It’s all about the fighters,” RPE CEO Jose Antonio Rivera said. “I’m in a unique position as a promoter because of my boxing background. I hard it is for local fighters to get fights, which is why we have so many with less than six pro fights and five pro debuts fighters on this card. They are why we’re here today. I never had a press conference until I was much more established in my career. This is about them showcasing their skills.
After my son graduated from Johnson Wales University with a degree in Sports Management, he told me he was ready to form Rivera Promotions Entertainment, as we had discussed, and promote shows. I lost a lot of money promoting a show in 2008, so I told him to put a plan together first and within a week he did. He had gotten his feet wet in the business as an intern for a boxing promoter. We went over the plan ad decided that we can do this. We’re not signing fighters, τώρα, we’re helping them build their careers. We do a lot of hard work behind the scenes that the public doesn’t see; the fighters work in the gym. I’m really excited about January 19ου. Irvin Gonzalez is a future world champion.

Rivera added. “I got into the business side of boxing as an intern working for CES. In Worcester, we have 11 active fighters, all on the rise, and to bring boxing back to Worcester is special, Teamwork makes dreams work. I also want to note that none of these fighters turned down a single opponent we offered.

I’m very excited to be fighting in my hometown for the first time as a pro,” Gonzalez commented. “I fought here as an amateur but that’s not the same as fighting in the main event and my first 6-rounder.
