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.”
.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: “Tio ĉi estas granda ŝanco por 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. Don’t 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 en du jaroj when I got the call (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.”

Li havas la ilojn kaj disciplino trejnisto serĉas kaj boksisto bezonas iĝi mondĉampiono. La ĉielo estas la limo por Richard kaj, nun, ni estas dankema por ludi malgrandan parton por helpi evoluigi sian profesian karieron.”

Ilin alportas vivon al Hartford kun pacienco, ĉie Nova Anglio, kun pacienco, persisteco kaj stilo. Mi loĝas en la momento.”
Kvankam li ne gajnis multe da gravaj premioj aŭ turniroj kiel amatora boksisto, Rivera gajnis valorega sperto boksanta multaj el la plej bonaj amatoroj en Nov-Anglio kaj en naciaj okazaĵoj, kaj ankaŭ sparring kun similaĵoj de iama mondo ĉampionoj Peter “Infana #?okolado” Quillin, Chad Dawson Kaj Joe Smith, Jr. Li ankaŭ lernis de tempo pasigita en la ringo kun iama titolo kontestantoj Israelo “prefere” Cardona Kaj John Scully.
“Mi prenis mian tempon turnante pro ĉar mi ne havis apogon sistemo por ricevi min al la sekva nivelo,” Rivera notis. “Mi estis nesekura. La pozitiva retrosciigo mi ricevis de batalantojn mi sparred nutritaj en mian fidon. Nun, en nur mia sesa por batalo, Mi estos elstarigante por la tria fojo, kaj luktante por mia unua titolo. Mi ne povas danki la Riveras (Jozefo kaj lia filo, A.J.) sufiĉa por kion ili faris por mi. Ili kredis en mi.”
Unue, Rivera estis iom malvolonta batali la plej spertaj Cobb sed, post fari iun esploron, Li akceptis la defion. “Mi estis iom nervoza unue,” li akceptis. “Iuj demandis se mi estis preta paŝi supren por batali lin. Mi faris iun esploron: Li ne havis pli grandan amatora kariero, aŭ batalis pli ses aŭ ok preterpasas bataloj ol mi. Kaj mi estis la sparring partnero por la unua por bati lin, Tyron Burris(TKO2 en 2012). I?? Preta! I’m 27 kaj bezonas batalo tiel.”
