Pindutin ang conference quotes
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: “Ito ay isang malaking pagkakataon para sa akin. 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. Huwag magpikit, 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. Manalo, 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 sa loob ng dalawang taon kapag nakuha ko ang tawag (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: “Ako ay 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 10ika. This will be my first fight on a Rivera Promotions card, but I’m familiar with most of the fighters on this card.”

“Ako ay nasasabik na magkaroon Richie boxing para sa pamagat UBF New England maaga sa kanyang pro career,”” sinabi tagataguyod Jose Antonio Rivera, ang retiradong 3-time, 2-division world champion. “Ito ang ikatlong pagkakataon na nagkaroon kami ng pribilehiyo sa kanya aaway sa isa sa aming mga card. Nakipaglaban siya sa main event ng aming huling palabas (Oktubre) sa DCU Center. Rivera ay mukhang mas mahusay at mas matalas sa tuwing pinapanood ko sa kanya away. nakikita ko ang malaking bagay na dumarating para sa kanya. Siya ay may mga tool at disiplina ng isang trainer mukhang para sa at isang boksingero pangangailangan upang maging mundo kampeon. Ang langit ay ang limitasyon para sa Richard at, sa ngayon, kami ay nagpapasalamat upang i-play ang isang maliit na bahagi upang makatulong na bumuo ng kanyang propesyonal na karera.”
Rivera ay matagumpay na marketed kanyang Popeye persona sa panahon ng kanyang kabataan pro boxing career, suot cap ng isang sundalo sa ring may tradisyonal Popeye-tulad ng pipe nakalawit sa kanyang bibig. “May ilang mga kadahilanan para sa aking mga palayaw, 'Popeye', ngunit kapag ako ay napakabata,” Rivera ipinaliwanag, “Ako had abnormally malaking forearms. Ito lang natigil sa akin sa pamamagitan ng mga taon, kapag mga tao na isinangguni sa akin sa gym, kaya ko na tumakbo sa mga ito. Ako nagdadala ng buhay pabalik sa Hartford may pasensya, sa buong New England, may pasensya, tiyaga at estilo. nakatira ako sa sandaling ito.”
Kahit hindi niya mapanalunan maraming pangunahing mga parangal o paligsahan bilang isang amateur boxer, Rivera nagkamit ng walang kasinghalaga karanasan boxing marami sa mga pinakamahusay amateurs sa New England at sa pambansang kaganapan, pati na rin ang sparring sa mga gusto ng mga dating kampeon mundo Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Chad Dawson at Joe Smith, JR. Siya din natutunan mula sa oras na ginugol sa ang ring sa dating title challengers Israel “sa halip” Cardona at John scully.
“kinuha ko ang aking oras ng pag-on pro dahil hindi ko magkaroon ng isang sistema ng suporta upang makakuha ng sa akin sa susunod na antas,” Rivera nabanggit. “Ako ay hindi secure. Ang positibong feedback ko natanggap mula fighters ko sparred fed sa aking confidence. Ngayon, in lamang ang aking ika-anim na pro paglaban, Ako ang mangunguna para sa pangatlong beses, at pakikipaglaban para sa aking unang pamagat. Hindi ko salamat sa Riveras (Jose at ang kanyang anak na lalaki, A.J.) sapat na para sa kung ano ang kanilang nagawa para sa akin. Sila na naniniwala sa akin.”
Sa simula, Rivera ay medyo nag-aatubili upang labanan ang higit pang mga karanasan Cobb ngunit, pagkatapos ng paggawa ng ilang mga pananaliksik, Tinanggap niya ang hamon. “Ako ay isang maliit na kinakabahan sa unang,” siya inamin. “Ang ilan ay pagtatanong kung ako ay handa sa hakbang up upang labanan sa kanya. Ako did ang ilang mga pananaliksik: hindi niya magkaroon ng isang mas malaki amateur career, o nakipaglaban higit anim o walong rounds fights kaysa sa akin. At ako ang sparring partner para sa unang pro upang talunin siya, Tyron Burris(TKO2 in 2012). Handa na akong! Ako ay 27 at kailangan ng away tulad nito.”
