DYFYNIADAU CYNHADLEDD I'R WASG
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: “Mae hwn yn gyfle mawr i mi. 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. Peidiwch â Blink, 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 mewn dwy flynedd pan gefais yr alwad (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 Pagan: “Rwy'n 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.”
Carlos Marraro, III: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions for the opportunity to showcase my talents February 10fed. This will be my first fight on a Rivera Promotions card, but I’m familiar with most of the fighters on this card.”

Richard “Popeye Y Sailor Man” Rivera
(Llun gan @Bonesprostudio)
WORCESTER, Offeren. (Ionawr 8, 2018) – Un o'r rhagolygon bocsio Lloegr Newydd mwyaf poblogaidd, Hartford undefeated (CT) pwysau trwm ysgafn Richard “Popeye Y Sailor Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 Kos), ewyllys pennawd ei drydydd sioe Dydd Sadwrn nos, Chwefror 10, yn y Palladium yn Worcester, Massachusetts.
Yn y pumed rhandaliad y “Dyfodol Newydd Lloegr” Cyfres, a gyflwynwyd gan Rivera Promotions Adloniant (RPE), y 27-mlwydd-oed Rivera yn cyfarfod Kevin “KRAY 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Kos), ymladd allan o Burlington (VT), i Ffederasiwn Bocsio Universal wag (UBF) Teitl Lloegr Newydd yn y prif ddigwyddiad wyth rownd.
Rivera, a oedd yn 2016 pencampwr Twrnamaint Marciano Rocky, yn dod oddi ar knockout ail rownd sensational o hen 146-ymladd Roberto Valenzuela mae hyn yn y gorffennol Rhagfyr 9 yn Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Rwy'n teimlo'n gyffrous i gael Richie bocsio am y teitl UBF New England mor gynnar yn ei yrfa pro,”” Dywedodd hyrwyddwr Jose Antonio Rivera, wedi ymddeol 3-amser, 2-bencampwr byd is-adran. “Dyma'r trydydd tro rydym wedi cael y fraint o ef yn ymladd ar un o'n cardiau. Bu'n ymladd yn y prif ddigwyddiad ein sioe ddiwethaf (Hydref) yn y Ganolfan DCU. Rivera yn edrych yn well ac yn gliriach bob tro yr wyf yn gwylio iddo ymladd. Rwy'n gweld pethau mawr yn dod ar ei gyfer. Mae ganddo yr offer a disgyblaeth hyfforddwr yn edrych am ac mae angen i fod yn focsiwr bencampwr y byd. Mae'r awyr yn y terfyn ar gyfer Richard a, am y tro, rydym yn ddiolchgar i chwarae rhan fechan i helpu i ddatblygu ei yrfa broffesiynol.”
Rivera wedi marchnata ei bersona Popeye yn llwyddiannus yn ystod ei yrfa focsio pro ifanc, gwisgo cap llongwr i mewn i'r cylch gyda hongian pibell Popeye tebyg traddodiadol yn ei geg. “Mae nifer o resymau dros fy ffugenw, 'Popeye', ond pan oeddwn yn ifanc iawn,” Esboniodd Rivera, “Cefais forearms anarferol o fawr. 'I jyst aros gyda mi drwy'r blynyddoedd, pan fydd pobl yn cyfeirio ataf yn y gampfa, felly dwi wedi rhedeg ag ef. Im 'yn dod â bywyd yn ôl i Hartford gydag amynedd, ar hyd a lled Lloegr Newydd, gydag amynedd, dyfalbarhad ac arddull. Rwy'n byw yn hyn o bryd.”
Er nad oedd yn ennill llawer o wobrau neu twrnameintiau mawr fel bocsiwr amatur, Enillodd Rivera profiad amhrisiadwy bocsio llawer o'r amaturiaid gorau yn New England ac mewn digwyddiadau cenedlaethol, yn ogystal â sparring gyda chwaraewyr fel cyn-bencampwyr y byd Peter “Siocled Kid” Quillin, Chad Dawson ac Joe Smith, Jr. Mae hefyd yn dysgu o'r amser a dreuliwyd yn y cylch gyda chyn Challengers teitl Israel “yn hytrach” Cardona ac John Scully.
“Cymerais fy amser troi pro oherwydd doeddwn i ddim yn cael system gymorth i fy nghael i'r lefel nesaf,” Nododd Rivera. “Roeddwn yn ansicr. Roedd yr adborth cadarnhaol a gefais gan ddiffoddwyr wyf sparred bwydo i mewn i fy hyder. Nawr, yn unig fy chweched ymladd pro, Byddaf yn prif fand am y trydydd tro, ac yn ymladd am fy teitl cyntaf. Alla i ddim diolch y Riveras (Jose a'i fab, A.J.) ddigon ar gyfer yr hyn y maent wedi ei wneud i mi. Maen nhw wedi credu ynof fi.”
Ar y dechrau, Rivera braidd yn amharod i frwydro yn erbyn y Cobb yn fwy profiadol, ond, ar ôl gwneud rhywfaint o waith ymchwil, derbyniodd yr her. “Roeddwn ychydig yn nerfus ar y dechrau,” cyfaddefodd. “Roedd rhai yn holi os oeddwn yn barod i gamu i fyny i ymladd ag ef. Fe wnes ychydig o ymchwil: Nid oedd ganddo yrfa amatur mwy, neu ymladd fwy chwech neu wyth ymladd rowndiau na fi. A fi oedd yr partner sparring ar gyfer y cyntaf pro i guro ef, Tyron Burris(TKO2 yn 2012). Rwy'n barod! Rwy'n 27 ac mae angen ymladd fel hyn.”
