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.

A lot of people weren’t sure about what I was doing because I hadn’t fought dalam dua tahun apabila saya mendapat panggilan (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.”

Ia hanya terperangkap dengan saya melalui tahun, apabila orang dirujuk kepada saya di gym, jadi saya berjalan dengannya. Saya membawa kehidupan kembali ke Hartford dengan kesabaran, seluruh New England, dengan kesabaran, ketabahan dan gaya. Saya tinggal di masa ini.”
Walaupun beliau tidak memenangi banyak anugerah utama atau pertandingan sebagai peninju amatur, Rivera mendapat pengalaman yang tidak ternilai tinju banyak amatur yang terbaik di New England dan di acara-acara kebangsaan, serta perdebatan dengan orang-orang seperti bekas juara dunia Peter “Chocolate Kid” Quillin, Chad Dawson dan Joe Smith, Jr. Beliau juga belajar dari masa yang dihabiskan di gelanggang dengan bekas pencabar kejuaraan Israel “agak” Cardona dan John Scully.
“Saya mengambil masa saya beralih pro kerana saya tidak mempunyai sistem sokongan untuk mendapatkan saya ke peringkat seterusnya,” Rivera berkata. “Saya tidak selamat. Maklum balas yang positif saya terima daripada pejuang Saya sparred dimasukkan ke dalam keyakinan saya. Sekarang, hanya dalam perjuangan pro keenam saya, Saya akan headlining untuk kali ketiga, dan berjuang untuk gelaran pertama saya. Saya tidak boleh mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Riveras (Jose dan anaknya, A.J.) cukup untuk apa yang mereka telah lakukan untuk saya. Mereka percaya kepada saya.”
Pada mulanya, Rivera agak keberatan untuk melawan Cobb lebih berpengalaman tetapi, selepas melakukan beberapa penyelidikan, beliau menerima cabaran. “Saya agak gementar pada mulanya,” beliau mengakui. “Ada yang mempersoalkan jika saya sudah bersedia untuk melangkah ke melawan dia. Saya telah mendapatkan: dia tidak mempunyai kerjaya amatur yang lebih besar, yang berperang lebih enam atau lapan pusingan pergaduhan daripada saya. Dan saya adalah rakan kongsi perdebatan untuk pertama pro untuk memukulnya, Tyron Burris(TKO2 dalam 2012). Saya sedia! Saya 27 dan memerlukan perjuangan seperti ini.”
