PERSCONFERENTIE KWOTASIES
Jose Rivera, RPE CEO: “I’m excited because a press conference means the fights are getting closer. We plan to build our promotional company this year. There is a lot of talent in New England and that’s why we have so many Connecticut fighters on this card. I want the fighters here to understand the importance of a press conference. They will gain valuable experience speaking in public and being interviewed by the media. One of the primary reasons we’re promoting is to give young fighters a platform to box and prepare them for their pro careers.”
A.J. Rivera, RPE President/Matchmaker: “The support we’ve received has been tremendous and we exceeded expectations in our first year. This is just the begining for RPE. We’re going to get better this year. We’re not satisfied just being a small promotional company. Boxing is the loneliest sport in the world and these boxers need fans’ support. There’s a lot of talent in New England and much of it is concentrated in Connecticut. We have more Connecticut fighters on this card than fighters from Massachusetts.”
Richard Rivera: “Dit is 'n groot geleentheid vir my. Rivera Promotions accomplished so much in its first year. I fought in the co-main twice of two previous RPE shows I fought on. This is going to be an awesome show, not just the main event. There are competitive boxers up and down the card. Moenie knip, don’t go to the bathroom because any one of these fights could end at any time.”
“This is a big step up for my career. Boxing is my passion. We’re both coming to fight. Win, lose or draw we’ll see who the Alpha dog is at the end. “I’m ‘Popeye The Sailor Man’, and I’m good to the finish because I eat my spinach.”
Kevin Cobbs: “I respect Rivera and believe in what I hear. He seems like a good dude. I’m excited about this fight. A lot of people weren’t sure about what I was doing because I hadn’t fought in twee jaar toe ek die oproep (to fight Rivera). Boxing took me out of the space was in and I never stopped boxing. This is going to be a big year for the Rivera’s. I like to switch it up and I’m ready to go.”
Bobby Harris, III: “My opponent wants to redeem his brother’s loss to me. I want to thank RPE for putting me in the co-feature in only my third pro fight. My first two fights were a learning experience and this fight I’m looking to make a statement to showcase my talents. I have a lot to prove as the only Worcester fighter on this card.”
Omar Bordoy, Jr: “I’m fighting a tough opponent. Fighting is easier for me than talking up here. I’m fighting a guy from Hartford. I have a lot of love for his trainer and Hartford. I want my hand raised at the end of the fight.”
Derrick Whitley: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions for putting me on this card. I fought on two of their shows last year and came out 2-0. I’m looking to be 3-0. It was a learning experience going from the amateurs to pros. Everybody’s goal is to raise your level. I’m in the best shape of my life for this fight and doing things in the gym I’ve never done before. I’m looking for a stoppage.”
Wilfredo Heidense: “Ek is 37 years old and I’ve always had a glad to fight at least one pro fight. A couple of fights fell through but the Riveras opened the doors for me. I put it all into my fights. I was looking for one fight and this will be my fourth. I’m going to be 4-0.”

WORCESTER, Mass. (Januarie 8, 2018) – Een van die gewildste New England boks vooruitsigte, onoorwonne Hartford (CT) lig swaargewig Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 Uitklophoue), wil kop sy derde show Saterdag nag, Februarie 10, by Die Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.
In die vyfde paaiement van die “New England se toekoms” reeks, aangebied deur Rivera Promotions Vermaak (RPE), die 27-jarige Rivera ontmoet Kevin “kray 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Uitklophoue), veg uit Burlington (VT), vir die vakante Universal Boksfederasie (UBF) New England titel in die agt-ronde hoofren.
Rivera, wat 'n 2016 Rocky Marciano Toernooi kampioen, kom uit 'n sensasionele tweede ronde knockout van 146-stryd veteraan Roberto Valenzuela die afgelope Desember 9 in Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Ek is opgewonde om Richie boks vir die UBF New England titel so vroeg in sy beroepsloopbaan het,”” gesê promotor Jose Antonio Rivera, die afgetrede 3-time, 2-afdeling wêreldkampioen. “Dit is die derde keer dat ons het die voorreg gehad om hom te veg op een van ons kaarte het. Hy het geveg in die hoofren van ons laaste show (Oktober) by die DCU Center. Rivera lyk beter en skerper elke keer as ek kyk hom geveg. Ek sien groot dinge kom vir hom. Hy het die gereedskap en dissipline 'n afrigter lyk vir en 'n bokser moet wêreldkampioen geword. Die lug is die limiet vir Richard en, vir nou, Ons is dankbaar vir 'n klein rol speel om te help sy professionele loopbaan te ontwikkel.”
Rivera het suksesvol bemark sy Popeye persona tydens sy jong pro boks loopbaan, dra cap 'n matroos se toetrede tot die ring met 'n tradisionele Popeye-agtige pyp hangend in sy mond. “Daar is verskeie redes vir my bynaam, 'Popeye', maar toe ek nog baie jonk was,” Rivera verduidelik, “Ek het abnormaal groot voorarms. Dit net vas met my deur die jare, wanneer mense in die gym vir my verwys, so ek het uit te voer met dit. Ek bring lewe terug na Hartford met geduld, regoor New England, met geduld, volharding en styl. Ek woon in die oomblik.”
Hoewel hy nie baie groot toekennings of toernooie gewen het as 'n amateur-bokser, Rivera het waardevolle ondervinding boks baie van die beste amateurs in New England en in nasionale gebeure, sowel as sparring met die hou van die voormalige wêreldkampioen Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Chad Dawson en Joe Smith, Jr. Hy het ook geleer van tyd spandeer in die ring met die voormalige titel uitdagers Israel “eerder” Cardona en John Scully.
“Ek het my tyd draai pro want ek het nie 'n ondersteuning stelsel vir my te kry na die volgende vlak,” Rivera opgemerk. “Ek was onseker. Die positiewe terugvoer wat ek ontvang het van vegters ek sparred gevoer in my vertroue. Nou, in net my sesde pro stryd, Ek sal die hemel van die derde keer, en veg vir my eerste titel. Ek kan nie bedank die Riveras (Jose en sy seun, A.J.) genoeg vir wat hulle gedoen het vir my. Hulle het geglo in my.”
Op die eerste, Rivera was ietwat huiwerig om die meer ervare Cobb veg, maar, na bietjie navorsing te doen, Hy aanvaar die uitdaging. “Ek was 'n bietjie senuweeagtig op die eerste,” hy erken. “Sommige is bevraagteken as ek gereed om te stap tot by hom te veg was. Ek het 'n bietjie navorsing: Hy het nie 'n groter amateur loopbaan, of geveg meer ses of agt rondes gevegte as my. En ek was die sparring partner vir die eerste pro om hom te klop, Tyron Burris(TKO2 in 2012). Ek is gereed! Ek is 27 en het 'n stryd soos hierdie.”
Worcester se tweemalige nasionale amateur-kampioen Bobby “BH3” Harris, III voldoen aan Brasiliaanse middelgewigtitel Saul Almeida (0-8-1) in die vier-round-mede featured gebeurtenis.
Veg op die undercard, al in vier-ronde aanvalle, is aan die styg New Haven (CT) super middelgewig vooruitsig Elvis Figueroa (3-0, 1 KO), 'n drie-time VSA Boks Nationals Championship goue medalje, vs. TBA, Worcester veergewig Andino Ranse (1-0) vs. Alex Montes (1-2-1), van Lawrence (MA), Danbury (CT) weltergewig Omar Bordoy, Jr. (2-0) vs. Puerto Rikaanse indringer Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), South brug (MA) weltergewig Wilfredo “die Sucaro” heidense (3-0, 1 KO) vs. pro-debut Nick Peralta, van Lawrence, onoorwonne Springfield (MA) lig swaargewig Ray “bazooka” Graceski (5-0, 3 Uitklophoue). vs. Hartford se pro-debut Paul Bansiak, Hartford junior middelgewigtitel Jose “Gegradeerde R” Rivera (4-1, 3 Uitklophoue) vs. Troy “Omar KO kunstenaar” kunstenaar(4-7-1 (3 Uitklophoue), Springfield welterweight Derrick “Double Impact” Whitley (2-0) vs. Roger Blankenship (1-2), onoorwonne Puerto Rikaanse middelgewigtitel Jelame Garcia (6-0, 6 Uitklophoue) vs. Brasiliaanse Rodrigo Almeida 1-7), Meriden (CT) kapokgewig James Aquino (6-0, 6 Uitklophoue), 2016 New England Golden Gloves-kampioen, vs. Luis Rivera (3-3) en Hartford se pro-debut welterweight Joseph Goss vs. Seth Basler (0-3).
