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: “Esta é unha grande oportunidade para min. 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. Non pisque, 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. Gañar, 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 dous anos cando recibín a chamada (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 Borðoy, 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: “Eu son 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 10^th. This will be my first fight on a Rivera Promotions card, but I’m familiar with most of the fighters on this card.”

Rivera, que era un 2016 campión Rocky Marciano Torneo, está saíndo dunha segunda rolda KO sensacional de veterano 146-loita Roberto Valenzuela en decembro pasado 9 en Hampton, Nova Hampshire.

“Estou animado para ter Richie boxeo para o título UBF New England axiña na súa carreira profesional,”” o devandito promotor Jose Antonio Rivera, o retirouse 3 hora, 2-división campión mundial. “Esta é a terceira vez que xa tivo o privilexio de que loitando nun dos nosos tarxetas. El loitou no evento principal do noso último concerto (outubro) no Centro DCU. Rivera parece mellor e máis penetrante cada vez que eu velo loitar. Vexo grandes cousas benvida por el. Ten as ferramentas e disciplina dun adestrador demanda e un boxeador que de facer campión do mundo. O ceo é o límite para Richard e, polo de agora, Somos gratos a xogar unha pequena parte para axudar a desenvolver a súa carreira profesional.”

Rivera ten comercializado con éxito o seu persona Popeye durante a súa nova carreira no boxeo profesional, vestindo unha gorra de mariñeiro para o ringue cunha oscilación tubo Popeye-like tradicional na boca. “Hai varias razóns para o meu apelido, 'Popeye', pero cando era moi novo,” Rivera explicou, “Eu tiña anormalmente grandes antebrazos. El só quedou comigo ao longo dos anos, cando a xente se referiu a min no ximnasio, entón eu correr con el. Estou levando a vida de volta para Hartford con paciencia, toda a Nova Inglaterra, con paciencia, perseveranza e estilo. Eu vivo no momento.”

Aínda que non gañar moitos premios importantes ou torneos como un pugilista afeccionado, Rivera gañou experiencia inestimable boxeo moitos dos mellores afeccionados na Nova Inglaterra e en eventos nacionais, así como sparring cos gustos de ex-campións mundiais Peter “Chocolate Kid” Quillin, Chad Dawson e Joe Smith, JR. Tamén aprendeu co tempo gasto no arena con ex adversarios título Israel “máis” Cardona e John Scully.

“Eu tomei o meu tempo de facer profesional, porque eu non tiña un sistema de apoio para me levar ao seguinte nivel,” Rivera observou. “Estaba certo. O feedback positivo que recibín de loitadores que pelexaron alimentado na miña confianza. Agora, en só miña sexta loita profesional, I será a atracción principal por terceira vez, e loitando polo meu primeiro título. Non podo agradecer os Riveras (José eo seu fillo, A.J.) o suficiente para o que fixeron para min. Eles creron en min.”

No inicio, Rivera foi un pouco relutante en combater o Cobb máis experimentado, pero, despois de facer algunha investigación, el aceptou o reto. “Eu estaba un pouco nervioso no inicio,” el admitiu. “Algúns estaban cuestionando se estaba preparado para a etapa ata loitar con el. Eu fixen algunha investigación: non ten unha carreira afeccionada maior, ou loitou seis ou oito roldas loitas que eu. E eu era o compañeiro de adestramento para o primeiro profesional para vencelo, Tyron Burris(TKO2 en 2012). Estou preparado! Eu son 27 e precisa dunha loita como esa.”
