TARGETING SERGEY KOVALEV TITLE SHOT IN THE FALL
SLUGFEST AT THE SUNRESULTS

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (Gorffennaf 1, 2018) – Returning to the ring after an 11-month layoff due to a broken jaw, Joe “The Beast” Smith, Jr. provided early fireworks last night (Dydd Sadwrn, Mehefin 30) in the latest installment in the popular Slugfest at The Sun Cyfres, presented by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, yn MOHEGAN Sun Arena mewn UNCASVILLE, Connecticut.

 

 

 

Slugfest at The Sunwas taped live and will air Gorffennaf 19, 8 -10 p.m. A, ar New England Sports Network (NESN). Star Boxing’s next event, “Rockin’ ymladd”,Medi 21 at the Paramount in Huntington, NY, will also air via tape- delay on NESN.

 

 

 

Rated No. 3 a Na. 7 yn y byd, yn y drefn honno, gan Gyngor Bocsio Byd (CLlC) and World Boxing Association (WBA), Smith (24-2, 20 Kos) hurt Melvin “The Romantic Redneck” Russell (11-5-2, 7 Kos) with the first punch he landed and finished the show, two devastating knockdowns later, yn y rownd agoriadol.

 

 

 

I hit him with a decent shot when I was walking him down and saw that I hurt him,” Joe Smith Jr. explained. “Felly, I looked to end it. I would have liked to have gotten some rust off, but I’m happy with my performance. My jaw feels great.

 

 

 

We’re looking to go to the top,” Smith’s promoter Joe DeGuardia Nododd. “Joe’s plan and goal has always been to be world champion. We wanted (Sergey) Kovalev before this fight, but it didn’t work out. We’re hoping to get him in the fall.

 

 

 

Kovalev looks great, he motivates me,” Smith noted. “I think I can take advantage of his conditioning.

 

 

 

Coming off her historic fight this past May against the undefeated Queen of Boxing Cecelia Breakhus, who won a 10-round decision in the first female fight to air on HBO, three-time world champion KaliKO MequinonoagReis (14-7-1, 4 Kos) cruised past Mexican welterweight PattyLas Elegante” Ramirez (11-6, 5 Kos), cyn heriol teitl y byd, winning all eight rounds.

 

 

 

She was a survivor,” Reis commented. “There was a lot we wanted to work on, ergydion corff, jabs and moregetting more comfortable. I executed the plan my corner gave me and got the job done.

 

 

 

A Native American from Rhode Island, Reis wants a rematch with Breakhus, “I know I need to stay busy, active and remain fighting at welterweight to get the rematch,” Reis added. “I’m going to stay on her tail. I’ll be ready when it happens, I really want it to happen.

 

 

 

In the television opener, undefeated junior welterweight “Gweithred” Anthony Laureano (8-0 3KO yn) lived up to his nickname, never taking a backwards step, as he pounded Juan Rodriguez (8-10-1 6KO yn) in the center of the ring from the opening bell through the end for a dominant six-round unanimous decision. Y 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion Laureano, who fights out of East Hartford, CT, put on an entertaining show in front of his large, loud contingent of fans. Laureano effectively used every punch in his vast arsenal to break down a tough, game Rodriguez.

 

 

 

I thought I did well,” Laureano said after the fight, “but I’d like to see more angles. I want to see more power, hefyd. It’s there, he felt it; it’s coming. I have a long road. Frwydr Nesaf, I’d like to have an eight-rounder. We’re adding more people to the team. I hope everyone see that I’m getting better each fight. I have more tools and my discipline is there.

 

 

 

Canol iau undefeated WendyHaitian FireToussaint (9-0, 3 Kos) lit up an overwhelmed Andy Gonzalez (6-3, 5 Kos), battering him from pillar to post, until referee Steve Willis waved off the fight in the third round. Haiti-native Toussaint, now living in Huntington, NY, used his superior power and speed to make an impressive statement.

 

 

 

Popular South Boston southpaw Joe Farina (3-0, 2 Kos) overcame a flash knockdown during the opening seconds of the fight, using a relentless attack to defeat junior welterweight Steve Moore (1-4, 1 KO), by way of a four-round split decision.

 

 

 

Irish junior welterweightLethalLarry Fryers (formerly known as Gleeson) gwella ei record i 7-1 (2 Kos) with a six-round unanimous decision over Anthony Woods (1-7-1). Fighting out of Yonkers NY, Fryers floored Woods with a left hook at the end of round two. Woods was penalized a point near the end of the final round for an intentional head butt.

 

 

 

Former U. of New Haven basketball star Cassius Chaney (13-0, 7 Kos), fighting out of New London (CT), cadw ei record diguro yn gyfan, dropping Mexican heavyweight Elder Hernandez (5-3, 3 Kos) twice before referee Willis halted the match near the end of the opening round.

 

 

 

The opening bout of the evening ended in the second round and ruled a “Dim Contest” because of an accidental head butt that left both fightersWilliam “Y Silent Assassin” Foster III (8-0, 6 Kos) ac Tyrome Jones (4-3-1, 1 KO) – with serious head cuts and unable to continue.

“Ar bapur, it was a loss, but it was really a win-win for me, and women’s boxing. It’s already opened a lot of doors for me. There’s been so much growth for me and women’s boxing.

The fight on HBO with Braekhus was such a learning experience and I am grateful for making history in not only women’s boxing but my own personal journey as well.

The people are coming to pay money and they are going to get what they paid for. Even in my last fight, people got what they paid for. They came to see action and to see somebody come forward. They don’t want to see nobody dancing around. I’m not saying that style is bad, I can do it too, but people like two guys who come forward and want to fight. I’m that fighter. I’m that fighter that always wants to fight.

 

 

 

This bout against Rodriguez will mark the third time in his career that Laureano is fighting at Mohegan Sun.

 

 

 

When asked about the venue, this is what Laureano had to say, “I love MoheganMohegan is my home. There is no place like it. I love the ring, everything is just so beautiful. The atmosphere, the crowd, my hometown crowd is there, and when they’re there it’s loudMohegan is my home, dim amheuaeth. The casino treats me good, and when I go there I feel this is where I belong.

For each RPR event, hyrwyddwr Jose Antonio Rivera selects a charity to donate a portion of the proceeds to, and for “Lloegr Newydd yn y Dyfodol 5” he has announced that it will be the Luis Rosa, Jr. Cronfa ysgoloriaeth.
We believe it’s important to give back to the community and for this show we have selected the Luis Rosa, Jr. Scholarship fund. Luis died last weekend in a tragic car accident at the age of 26.

Our company will also push the news about the Luis Rosa, Jr. Scholarship Fund when it’s finalized through our social media.

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 fanssupport. 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.

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.”

Photos By: Sean Michael Ham / Hyrwyddwyr Bocsio Premier
CHICAGO, IL (Mawrth 9, 2017)After stopping former world champion, Chad Dawson (34-5, 19 Kos), with a stunning tenth-round TKO, CLlC #8 light-heavyweight contender, Andrzej Fonfara (29-4, 17 Kos), is welcoming challenges from everyone in the top ten.

I’m looking forward to my next fight and the possibilities that have opened up with my victory over Chad Dawson,” said Andrzej Fonfara. “My main goal is to avenge my loss toJoe Smith Jr., but if I can’t get him in the ring, then I’m looking to face anyone in the top ten of the light-heavyweight division.
With the light-heavyweight division loaded with talent, Fonfara seeks a meaningful fight with one of the top contenders, more specifically, former WBC super-middleweight champion, Badou Jack (20-1, 12 Kos), who recently vacated his world title at 168 bunnoedd.
Badou Jack seems like the perfect opponent, but I must warn him, this is not the super-middleweight division,” Fonfara continued. “Badou Jack has never faced punchers like those fighting at 175 bunnoedd. He must earn his shot to a world title fight, just like I did when I was coming up. This makes for a perfect opportunity for us to fight, with the winner moving up the rankings.
