WORCESTER, Kütləvi. (Noyabr 29, 2021) – The rematch of the unofficial 2021 New England Fight of the Year will headline the December 18ci “New England Future VIII” event, Rivera Promotions Entertainment təqdim (RPE), highlighting Webster’s (MA) first professional boxing event in 27 il, at Webster Town Hall.

Puerto Rico-native Wilfredo “El Sucaro” Pagan (6-1-1, 3 Kos), fighting out of Southbridge (MA), and Bridgeport’s (CT) Carlos Marrero, III (2-6-2), fought to an entertaining 6-round split draw this past August 14ci Worcester (MA).

“I am very excited we were able to get the rematch between Pagan and Marrero so quick,” RPE promoter Jose Antonio Rivera commented. “These two warriors put their heart and soul in their last fight and the fans were not disappointed. As a promoter these are the type of fights we love to put together. We are 3 weeks away from another great boxing event to see some talented up and coming future champions. Webster Town Hall is going to be electric!"

Pagan and Marrero will be fighting once again for the vacant New England Super Lightweight Championship in the Dec.18ci 6-round main event.

The original Pagan-Marrero was non-stop, action-packed throw-down which the judges’ scored 58-56 in favor or Pagan, 55-59 for Marrero, və 57-57. The scoring was originally announced as a split-decision win for Marrero but, in retrospect, both fighters have taken the emotional outcome changes in stride. Some fuel, baxmayaraq ki, has been poured on the fire, largely through social media.

“When the fight was done,” Pagan commented, “as a fighter, you know if your fight was won, lost or very close. It was a little close, but that I won the fight. When the decision was announced that he had won, I closed my eyes, because it reminded me of my amateur career. I definitely won a few fights, I dominated, but I didn’t get the decision. Anything can happen when it goes into the judges’ hands. The judges didn’t see me winning, Əvət, but then they reversed the decision. I thought that they had gotten it right and I had won, but it was announced as a draw. Bu nə, Əvət, because the judges’ job isn’t as easy as people think. They saw ups and downs and had it a draw.

“II was thinking, here we go again, when it was announced a draw,"Marrero bildirib. “For some reason, every time I fight in Massachusetts it’s always controversial. I had dropped to my knees in happiness and when the second announcement was made, I thought they were giving him the win. A draw? I’m not upset but I was surprised because I felt I had won. I went home thinking it was a draw, not a loss, and hopefully we’d have a rematch. And we do December 18ci."

Pagan vs. Marrero is an example of not needing two great fighters to have a great fight. They’re evenly matched and both fighters have tremendous heart.

“People had asked if I wanted a rematch and I said, bəli, I’m thinking about it because it was a draw,” Pagan offered. “I wasn’t going to say no if it was offered, but the No. 1 reason for me to fight him is for the New England Championship. As long as I fought him for the title, I was for it because I want to fight for the belt and that’s what is my target. That was my feeling at the beginning, but things changed a little, because he changed. I don’t know what people told him, I’m not some kid and I had a lot of respect for him. But then he started texting me. I don’t know if it was to spice up this fight, but he crossed the line. He said a lot he shouldn’t have said. I’ always humble and respect all fighters because they’re risking their lives. I don’t know why he said what he did, but he’s given me even more motivation. I want that belt! I’m training double to beat him and shut his month. I still have some respect for him, but it’s not the same.

“I made a lot of mistakes in our first fight and made the fight much harder than it was supposed to be. I’ve been working on adjustment and, inşallah, dekabr 18ci it will pay-off.”

“I always have a little room for improvement after a fight, and we saw some things I needed to improve for the rematch,” Marrero explained. “I’m more mentally prepared to do things and will be much smarter in the ring. Fiziki, I’m a lot stronger and sharper. The key for me is being mentally prepared and sharper. His (Pagan’s) opponent for his last fight fell out and my manager, Nate Torres, contacted me saying I had been offered an opportunity to fight Pagan. Without hesitation, Mən bəli dedi. I’m always in the gym and ready to fight. I came in 2-pounds under and I’m on weight right now for this fight. The only thing I had to prepare for is he’s a southpaw.

“We had a great fight. He probably thinks he won a few rounds, I felt I won the fight. He missed more and I connected with the cleaner punches the judges could see. In the third or fourth round, I hurt him with a body shot. He folded and I hit him with another good shot.”

ATƏT özellikli hadisə, Danbury (CT) super lightweight Omar “The Beast” Bordoy (11-1, 3 Kos) faces an opponent to be determined in the 6-round match.

Promising Boca Raton (FL) super welterweight prospect Josniel “TG” Castro (7-0, 5 Kos) is steps up in terms of quality opposition in a 6-rounder versus Lenwood “Mr. Composure” Dozier (10-28-3, 5 Kos).

DERRY, N.H. (Avqust 30, 2020) – İki regional titul mübarizəsi, bir neçə qalmaqallı döyüşlər tərəfindən dəstəklənir, Granite Chin Promotion -un keçən noyabr ayından bəri ilk pro boks tədbirini vurğuladı, 'Derry -ə qayıdın,” keçən gecə (Sat., Aug. 29), Derry'deki New England İdman Mərkəzində yaxınlıqdakı bir izdiham qarşısında, New Hampshire.

Döyüşçülərə dəstək olmaq üçün iki dünya çempionu iştirak etdi, məğlubiyyətsiz hökmranlıq edən Dünya Boks Təşkilatı (WBO) middleweight çempionu Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade və“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera, təqaüdçü 3 dəfə, 2-bölmə titulunun sahibi.

“Bu gecə normal vəziyyətə doğru irəliyə addım atdığımıza görə çox şadam,” Promoter Chris Traietti şərh. İdman insanları bir araya gətirməyə kömək edir və bu gecə hər millətdən olan insanlarla dolu bir evimiz oldu, dinlər, və inanclar. Bu amerikalıların bu axşam burada əyləndiklərindən məmnunam.”

Justin “Dəli Qatar” Rolfe 8 raundluq yekdil bir qərarla New England ağır çəki çempionu oldu Tracey “Titan” Johnson Əsas hadisə.

Rolfe vs. Johnson II, keçən ilin noyabr ayında Quincy'de keçirilən 6 turluq çoxluqlu püşkatma matçı idi, Massachusetts. Cavab görüşündə daha çox şey təhlükədə idi, baxmayaraq ki, çünki N.E. ağır çəkili titul xəttində idi. Boston cənubunda Johnson, Andradenin ögey qardaşı, metodik olaraq qutulu, Maine sakini Rolfe bomba ataraq irəli çıxdı, və əyləncəli bir döyüş üçün tərzlərin fərqli olması.

Dözülməz Johnson dördüncü turda öz aralığını tapmağa başladı, Rolfe yorgun göründükcə birləşmələrlə bağlanır, amma ikinci küləyini aldı və aqressiv olmağa davam etdi, tez -tez Johnsonu iplərə bağlayır. İki bərabər döyüşçü döyüşün ikinci yarısında irəli -geri getdi, Rolfe hərəkəti bastırsa da Johnson qarşı çıxdı. Mübarizə əsnasında heç kim zərər görmədi., Hər ikisi səkkizinci və son turda boşa çıxdı, tankda heç nə qoymur. Rolfenin fasiləsiz hücumu və bu matçdakı fərq olduğu ortaya çıxdı.

Rayan DiBartolomeo boş qalan New Hampshire yarım çəki titulunu ələ keçirdi, 6 turdan ibarət bölünmə qərarı alındı Kris Jacobs, birgə tədbirdə. “Mən Massachusettsdə yaşayıram, amma bütün döyüşlərim (3-0-1) Nyu Hampşirdə olmuşam və Nashuada məşq edirəm (NH),” DiBartolomeo döyüşdən sonra dedi. “New Hampshire -da mübarizə aparmaq, evdə mübarizə aparmaq kimidir və indi New Hampshire -də orta çəki çempionuyam.”

DiBartolemeo tez bir zamanda küncdən çıxdı və tezliklə Jacobs'u 8 sayı üçün buraxdı. Jacobs açılış turundan keçdi, ancaq sərbəst yellənən DiBartolemeonun güclü sağ əlindən qaça bilmədi, rəqiblərinin başını sıxır, dəyirmi iki. Jacobs üçüncü yerə yerləşdi, dördüncü sürətini aldı, və beşinci əllərini daha çox buraxmağa başladı, təcavüzkar düşməninə daha təsirli eniş. İki döyüşçü son turda ayaq üstə getdi və DiBartolemeo şousu bağladı..

Yeni İngiltərə orta çəki çempionu Kendrick Ball, Jr., yüngül çəki dərəcəsində mübarizə aparır Tahuk Taylor, bacarıqlarını maksimum nümayiş etdirdi, şirin düz sağ ilə rəqibini xalçaya qaldırır, yenə də gözəl bir sol çəngəl ilə, və hakim şounu bağlamaq üzrə idiJackie Morell mərhəmətlə mübarizəni bir raundda 13 saniyə qaldı.

Yeniyetmələr arasında məşhur orta çəki Mike “Pis adam” OHan, Jr. demək olar ki, hər şeyi etdi, amma cılızlığı dayandırın Dewayne Wisdom, kim iki xal cərimələndi və bir dəfə rəsmi olaraq məğlub oldu. Amma sağ qalıb, 6 mərhələdə Ohan'a yekdilliklə lop tərəfli bir qərar itirsə də.

New England Golden Gloves çempionu Francis “Frank Tankı” Hogan işdən çıxarıldı Rəşan Hikmət, küncündə dəsmal atmadan əvvəl iki dəfə kətan üzərinə enən. Hogan uzun boyludur, yaxşı təhsil alan və indi dəli olan cənub -qərb 2-0 (2 Kos).

Ruhani mübarizədə, namağlup yarımyüngül Edet “Baba” Kpanam (4-0, 3 Kos) oyuna qarşı amansız idi Saul “Hörümçək” Almeida, Yeni İngiltərənin ən yaxşı qarışıq döyüş sənəti döyüşçülərindən biri. Mkpanan, 4 raundluq yekdil bir qərara gedərkən ilk iki turda Almeydanı buraxdı.

Boston yüngül perspektivli Jonathan Depina köhnəlmiş İzləyin “Müqəddəs Həqiqət” Desjardin, onu erkən döşəməyə qoyur və qısa müddətdən sonra qabarcıqlı bir atışla bitirir, qədər yaxşılaşdırmaq 2-0 (2 Kos).

Middleweight Anthony Concepcion rəqibi üçüncü turda diskvalifikasiya yolu ilə qalib gəldi, pro-debüt Caleb Denham, hakimin mübarizəni davam etdirmək göstərişinə məhəl qoymadı.

Middleweight Larry “Slomoshun” Dəmirçi, Dallas həyata mübarizə, doqquz ildən çox ilk qələbəsini qeyd etdi, 4 turdan ibarət yekdilliklə qərar qəbul etdi İsa “Şirəsi” Cintron. 41 yaşlı Smith, 0-39-2 qələbəsiz seriyası ərzində, Andersonu ilk turda məğlub etdi.


Larry Smith ilk qələbəsindən sonra qeyd etdi 9 il

Texas yüngül ağır Bryan Vera həyata sökülür Mike Anderson böyük sağ əli ilə ilk turun əvvəlində. Hakim Leo Gerstel Anderson xalça vurduqdan dərhal sonra sayını sildi. Vera, iştirak etdiyi ilə tanınan Iddiaçı reallıq televiziya şousu, dünya çempionlarını məğlub etdi Sergio Mora (iki dəfə), sonra-məğlubiyyətsiz Andy Lee və Serhiy Dzinziruk 16 illik peşəkar karyerası ərzində.

Veteran kiçik orta çəki Uçurum “Sehrbaz” McPherson üçün heç bir hiyləsi yox idi Tyrone “Daş Əlləri” Luckey çünki təkrar tutduğu üçün ikinci turda hakim Morrell tərəfindən diskvalifikasiya edildi.

Gecənin açılışı arasında kruiz ağırlığında bir oyun oldu Larry “Hitman” Pryor və Francisco Neto. Pryor üçün çox çəkmədi, əmisi oğlu mərhum idi, Famer Hall Aaron “Şahin” Pryor, gözəl yerləşdirilmiş sol çəngəl ilə Netonu yerə qoyun. Neto sayını üstələsə də, titrəyən ayaqları üzərində dayandı, aparıcı hakim Gerstel, açılış turunun 35 saniyəlik nöqtəsində mübarizəni dayandıracaq.

Boxing saved the life of Two-Division World Champion “El Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera

Şərh yaz

COLORADO SPRINGS, Dövrə. (İyun 4, 2020) – Like many boxers, iki bölmə dünya çempionu “El Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera credits boxing for saving his life.

“Absolutely,” Rivera agreed. “After my mom passed away when I was 10 dək təvəllüd, I gave up on life and my decision-making reflected that: hanging around with the wrong crowd including gang members, consuming alcohol between the ages of 10 and 15. I was definitely going in the wrong direction.

“I never thought I had a future until I started boxing. It’s hard to say what I’d be doing if I had never boxed, but by the way I was living, I’d probably be in jail or dead by now.”

Born in Philadelphia, Rivera lived in Puerto Rico and Springfield, MA, prior to him moving to Worcester, MA, where he met a man who helped change his life, Carlos Garcia, who was in charge of a special boxing program at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club.

Rivera had started boxing at the age of 14 ½ in a basement with his friend, Felix Lopez.  He had fallen in love with boxing after watchingRoberto Duran əsəbiləşdi“Sugar” Ray Leonard in their first fight. The young Puerto Rican-American specifically used his amateur boxing experience to prepare for the professional ranks. Garcia, who is in the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame, put him in a novice match after only one amateur fight in order to put Rivera on the fast track, because he understood that Rivera dreamed of becoming a world champion as a professional. Rivera finished with a 35-15 həvəskar rekord, highlighted by a bronze medal performance at the PAL Nationals.

“I never had big amateur aspirations but, əlbəttə, I wanted to win every fight I competed in,” Rivera said. “Once I didn’t qualify for the Olympic Trials, my plan was to turn pro. I didn’t know how much the amateurs would groom me to be a successful professional boxer. I’m glad I listened to my coaches, otherwise I would have turned pro earlier, because I would get frustrated with the politics of the amateurs. I hated losing, but I hated losing even more when I knew that I should have won. After three years together (with Garcia) in the amateurs and gaining a great wealth of experience traveling all over New England, the country and even fighting in Canada, I saw all types of styles and talented boxers that helped me as a pro. Carlos is like a father figure to me and during all of our training and travels, he was always in my head, building me up to become a good boxer, but also to help me become a better man.”

Noyabrın 7, 1992, Rivera made his pro debut, eləyənFrancisco Mercedes in the second round. He went on to win his first 23 pro bouts, including the Massachusetts State welterweight title in 1995. His first pro loss was to veteran Philadelphia fighterWillie Wise (20-3-4), who won a controversial 10-round split decision at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Rivera had proven that he was more than a prospect in his first loss, losing a close decision (98-95, 94-97, 94-96) to an opponent that upset Mexican iconJulio Cesar Chavez (102-3-2) only three years later.

Showing the same resiliency that stayed with Rivera his entire career, two fights later Rivera stoppedGilberto Flores in two rounds to capture the International Boxing Organization (IBO) world welterweight championship. Rivera extended his new win streak to seven, before losing back to back fights. Four fights later, baxmayaraq ki, Rivera registered his first statement victory in 2001, eləyənFrankie Randall (55-10-1) ilə 10ci round to retain his North American Boxing Association (Da) crown in his first defense.

Now promoted by legendary Don King, Rivera traveled across the Atlantic Ocean in September 2003 to Germany, where few Americans were able to win. Rivera proved early that he meant business, dropping previously undefeatedMichel Trabant in the second round en route to winning a 12-round majority decision for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA).  His reign, lakin, didn’t last long. In his first defense, Rivera lost a 12-round split decision at home in Worcester to challengerLuis Collazo (24-1)

Rivera moved up one weight class for his next fight, showing the resiliency that was a staple during his career for his next fight, also at home, against WBA junior middleweight World championAlexandro Garcia (25-1).

In his next fight and first defense of his third world title, Rivera was stopped for the first time in his pro career, by new champTravis Simms (24-0), and then he was knocked out byDaniel Santos (24-0) in round eight of their WBA junior middleweight title eliminator.

Rivera retired in 2008 only to make a comeback in 2001, after which he retired again until returning for two fights in Worcester to complete his pro career with 50 döyüşlərdə, the last coming at the age of 46.

“Jose’s USA Boxing experiences shaped him into the man of character he is today, və ring həyata, həm də,"DediChris tofflemire, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “He took the road less traveled for a world champion, and in doing so he showcased his toughness and perseverance that made him a great example for today’s USA Boxers.”

Rivera was a true working world champion. Few world champions also had full-time jobs during their title reigns. Rivera used vacation time, as well as personal and sick days, when he went to training camp for some of his major fights.

“I always had a good work ethic growing up,” he explained. “When I moved to Worcester at 16 dək təvəllüd, I lived by myself: məktəb, work, and then to the Boys & Girls Club to train. I kept the same work ethic I had at 19 when I turned pro. I became a father at 20, so providing for my family was essential. Although it was hard, I knew boxing wasn’t going to last forever, and I was lucky enough to find a good job working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Trial Courts. It made for long days when I was training, especially when I was fighting for or defending my world championships. In the end, baxmayaraq ki, keeping my job was the best decision I could have made for me and my family.”

Rivera. who was an Associate Court Officer for years and promoted last year to Assistant Chief Court Officer, is still involved in boxing. He and his oldest son, A.J. Rivera, own and operate a boxing promotional company, Rivera Promotions Entertainment, to give young fighters in his area opportunities to fight more often and at home. Jose occasionally drops by the Boys & Girls Club to visit his former coaches, Garcia andRocky Gonzalez, to support their young talent. He also goes to his friendKendrick Ball’s gym, Camp Be Right, to give young fighters there a few tips and to keep in shape (not for another comeback).

Jose Antonio Rivera will be best known for his toughness and determination, which led him into a different life, including three world championships and a wonderful life he never would have enjoyed.

Jose Antonio Rivera Dedicates “Quest For 50” to Worcester Boys & Girls Club

Şərh yaz

(L-R) – Jose Antonio Rivera, current WBC Youth super lightweight champion Jermaine Ortiz
(11-0, 6 Kos) and Carlos Garcia


WORCESTER, MASS (May 16, 2019) – Üç dəfə, iki bölmə dünya çempionu “Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera is dedicating his 50ci pro fight, the last in his hometown of Worcester, to the Boys & Girls Club in Worcester, Massachusetts. A portion of the proceeds from “Quest For 50,” presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP) and Rivera Promotions Entertainment, will benefit the Boys & Girls Club.

The 46-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 Kos) faces former WFC champion Travis “Sweet Feet” Scott (19-5, 5 Kos), of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in the eight-round main event at The Palladium in Worcester.

Rivera, a full-time court officer in Worcester, has had a special relationship for more than 30 years with the Worcester Boys & Girls Club and its director of boxing, Carlos Garcia, Kimdir “The Godfather of Worcester Boxing.”

Rivera moved to Worcester from Springfield 30 years ago at the age of 16 to pursue a boxing career, which included being coached by Garcia. Rivera had siblings and other relatives living in Worcester and after living with an aunt for a month, Jose moved into an apartment with another boxer, four-time national amateur champion Bobby Harris.

“The Worcester Boys & Girls Club helped me stay off the streets so I could focus on my dream of becoming world champion,” Rivera remembered. “It was a place for me and so many others to go and be safe. Kids, not just boxers, can be kids there, where they don’t have to worry about what’s happening in the streets.

“Carlos has played a tremendous part of my life and so many others, influencing us not only to become good boxers, but to be good people in the community. That was always so important to him and he emphasized being a good person. Mən əlimdən gələni etdim. He was always fair across the board and gave us all opportunities. He took a liking to me and brags that he never had to throw me out of the Boys & Girls Club. I graduated from high school and went after my dream in 1992 when I turned pro. Carlos is big in amateur boxing, but not so much with pros, because he doesn’t have the time to train pros. I made sure that when turned pro, tough, that he was part of my team. And he’s still a big part of my team and life.”

The number of Worcester youths Garcia has had a positive effect on, life-changing in many respects, is countless. One of those many people is Jose’s longtime friend and his current head trainer, Sean Fitzgerald, who retired as a boxer in 2001 ilə 29-2-2 pro record. “Fitzy” remembers the fir time he read the sign over the door in the gym at the Boys & Girls Club: “Better to seat than bleed.”

Fitzy lived with his father when his parents divorced and at the age of 10, his father sent him to the Boys & Girls Club to attend an after-school program. “Fitzy” said he had to earn his way into Garcia’s good graces.

“Carlos didn’t talk to me for the first 5-6 həftə,” Fitzgerald explained. “Sonra, he put me in the ring as a sparring partner, and I was badly beaten. I had a bloody nose and black eye, but the next day I came back, and the rest is history. Carlos was a great mentor, rough at times, but always there for you. I remember seeing the boxing team jackets. It intrigued me. When I got my jacket and started wearing it, I got respect from everybody, and then I knew that I belonged. I learned a lot about life at the Boys & Girls Club, being with there with people from different generations and cultures. I met many friends there who I never would have met.

“The Boys & Girls Club is safe. I was from a tough area in Worcester. My father worked and it was easy to get in trouble with no supervision. Carlos stayed on top of me to graduate from school and if I was home sick, he come buy with chicken soup to make sure I was alright. My father was in my life big-time, but I joke that I had two moms growing up, my father and Carlos. Going to the Boys & Girls Club was something to look forward to every day.

“Carlos always taught us to never make the mistakes he did in life. He wanted us to go to school, stay out of trouble, and be a good person. He’s helped so many people over the years. Look around Worcester and you’ll see them: police and court officers, fire fighters, and so many others. The Boys & Girls Club was a great experience for me and so many other kids from Worcester.”


(L-R) – Ray Semidei, Carlos Garcia and Jose Antonio Rivera

Garcia has been the director of boxing at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club since 1982. Two year ago, Garcia was inductred into the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame.

“Never in his life has Jose even raised his voice to me,” Garcia commented. “He treats me like his father and he’s like one of my sons. There aren’t not too many guys like him and he’s so well respected in the community. He came to Worcester from Springfield to train with ne and stayed with me. Jose helps everyone and now he’s promoting to help local boxers.

“We’re at the Boys & Girls Club to and that’s the way it really is here. It’s so good to see so many in this community who’ve gone through our boxing program and are good people, good husbands, good parents. It makes me feel so proud. ‘Fitzy’ was a hyper kid. He’s a real gentleman who now does so much for kids here. I’ve never had a signed contract with any of the pro boxers I’ve worked with because I trust them.”

It took a few rounds for Rivera to wear off the rust, but he fed Smith a steady diet of body shots, gradually breaking down his opponent, as he won round after round on points. Twice in the sixth round it looked like Smith was done, but the tough Texan showed a lot of heart to survive.

 

 

 

Nəhayət, Rivera closed the show in the seventh round, when Smith broke his hand in the fifth round and was unable to continue, kneeling in his corner, obviously in pain.

 

 

 

“I’ve always been tough,” Rivera said after the fight, “but I was a little rusty. He tested me early but, once he saw I wasn’t going anywhere and knew he was in for a fight. I started warming up in the fourth round. I was always a 12-round fighter. I didn’t know he broke his hand until after the fight. Mən böyük hiss. We gave a good fight to the fans who have always supported me.”

“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera to headline “Homecoming”

Champ geri!

“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald

 

WORCESTER, Kütləvi. (Iyul 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “Gallo” Jose Rivera returns to the ring August 17 mövzu üçün “Homecoming”, Granite Chin Promotions tərəfindən təqdim olunur (GSO) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), Worcester Palladium da, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Rivera (41-6-1, 24 Kos) has already lost more than 30 manat, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 Kos) səkkiz turdan ibarət əsas yarışda.

 

 

 

Ilə 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, dayandırma Gilberto Flores ikinci turda. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, məmləkəti sevimli Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Orta çəkidə Dünya Çempionatı, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.

 

 

 

In front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera capped his boxing career by winning a 12-round unanimous decision in 2006 over defending champion Alejandro Garcia(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.

 

 

 

“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. A.J., and I talking about chasing history,” Rivera izah. “We are not able to put that together right now (A.J. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17ci göstərmək.), but because of my hard work these last six months, I felt that it was only fitting to continue with my fight.

 

 

 

“Granite Chin Promotions has been very instrumental to make sure that this show is put together in the most professional manner possible. I won’t think our promotional company (Jos and A.J. own and operate RPE Promotions Entertainment) would have been able to pull this off. All the negotiations had to be done and me training the only way I know how, at a championship level, would have been too much for us to handle.”

 

 

 

Qranit Çənə Promosyonları’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns əlavə, “When Jose and I started talking about his ring return, I was the last person to think he was crazy. We were friends during his championship days and I know how incredibly committed and disciplined Jose is. Mən mübarizə 49 dək təvəllüd, not to compare myself to the level Jose has been on, but I know that it can be done. What everyone should know is how well Jose has taken care of himself during his thirties and into his forties. Did I ever think that Chris (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? Do Not, but I’m happy to be involved and I will support him as far as he wants to take this. He’s been training like he’s 25 and Jose’s going to surprise some people.”

 

 

 

During Rivera’s title reigns, unlike other world champions, he also held a full-time job as a court officer in the Massachusetts Trial Court, a position in Worcester that he still holds 17 years later. Between working and training, never mind his family responsibilities, Jose somehow manages to balance everything in his extremely busy life.

 

 

 

“Let’s just say it makes for a busy schedule,” Rivera remarked. “I am committed to taking care of my family and will do whatever it takes. I usually run before work and train after work. Starting early and finishing late makes for busy days, but the job needs to get done. Hal-hazırda, I’m in the middle of the hardest period of training. The week of the fight is more about preparing mentally and making weight. There’s nothing you can do the week of the fight to help you get into better shape.”

 

 

 

Rivera isn’t under any illusions that his comeback will lead to another major world title. The plan is for him to have two more fights to reach a total of 50 bir pro kimi, but he’s taking things one fight at a time, and he still hopes his next fight, tentatively slated for later this year, will be on the same card as his son’s pro debut.

 

 

 

Rivera last fought in 2011, taking an eight-round decision over Paul Mpendo, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. The battle-tested Galvan, his Aug. 17ci opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Daxil olmaqla Zab Yəhuda, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., Xorxe Paez və Paul Spadafora.

 

 

 

“I hear he comes to fight and that he likes to fool around a bit to try and get into his opponent’s head,” Rivera added. I’ve concentrated on me, my timing and focus on the game plan

 

 

 

“Training for this fight has been more mental than anything else. I have been able to reach peak performance at 45 training like I did in my prime. The most important thing is that, working with my trainer Sean Fitzgerald, I’ve been focused on making sure my timing gets better since it’s been seven years since I last fought.

 

 

 

“Və, əlbəttə, it’s always a great feeling to box in front of my hometown fans. Their support is always appreciated.”

 

 

 

The name of the event is “Homecoming” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.

 

 

 

Middleweight Kendrick Ball, Jr. (9-1-2, 6 Kos) və kiçik orta çəki Khiary Gray (15-4, 11 Kos), both promoted by CES Boxing, will be fighting at home in Worcester as pros for the first time in a pair of six-round bouts.

“I trained hard and was within five or six pounds of my contract weight,” a disappointed A.J. Rivera izah. “I passed all of the medical tests except for the CATSCAN. I fought the doctor a little and said I wanted a second opinion. Those results won’t be in time, so I can’t fight on this card.”

 

 

 

“The reason I’m coming back was to make history with my son,” Jose Antonio Rivera added. “We had talked about it a long time but, təəssüf ki,, it wasn’t meant to be for A.J. for this card. He’s already part of history already as the only fighter born with Spina Bifida who fought as an amateur. I feel bad, but everything happens for a reason and as a father, my son’s safety always comes first. He will continue to be an important part of our team to make our company a success. People are thrown curveballs in life like this and we’ve regrouped to turn this into a positive. We’re still fighting for the cause (Spina Bifida).”

MƏTBUAT KONFRANSI Quotes

 

Joe Antonio Rivera: “I want to thank everybody for coming. Tomorrow is four weeks to the weigh in. It’s an important date because fighting is easy, making weight isn’t. I want to thank Granite Chin Promotions

 

 

 

“Four Worcester fighters (Top, Gray, Irizarry and Owusu) on this card have never fought here. It’s huge having Kendrick and Khiary on this card and I’d like to thank CES Boxing for allowing them to fight here. I’m proud of Kendrick and Khiary and excited to have them fighting on this show. Chuck and Granite Chin are running this show, I’m only focused on my opponent.

 

 

 

“I’m excited to have an opponent who is coming to fight. He’s my third opponent, but that’s part of boxing. Mən ağır təlim alıram, passed my medicals, and it’s like I’m hungry again. I haven’t fought in years, but I’ve taken good care of my body. I didn’t visualize doing this at 45. I’ve also heard that, after August 17ci, there’s a possibility of a title for me by the end of this year.”

 

Chuck Shearns (GCP co-promoter): “I’m honored to be involved in this show. Jose and I have been friends for years. Months ago, this all started with a text conversation (Chuck, Jose and A.J.). A week later, it started getting serious, and then we had Jose and A.J. fighting on this card. Təəssüf ki,, A.J. isn’t fighting on this card, but the show will go on.”

 

Jimmy Burchfield (CES promoter): “What’s important is that Jose Antonio Rivera is fighting on this card and that’s why I’m allowing ‘Pepper’ (Top) and Khiary to fight on this card. I’ve had a good relationship with Chuck and I’ve known Jose and A.J., who worked for me, for a long time. Nothing was happening in Worcester boxing for years, until Jose and A.J. started promoting here, but Worcester has always been a good fight town. All the fighters here will be proud of your victory. This is beautiful! They’ve been around him and know what he’s accomplished in life. Jose has never abused his body, he’s taken good care of himself.

 

 

 

“We (CES Boxing) had an event scheduled August 17ci at Twin River (Lincoln, RI), but we moved from that date, and now everything is focused August 17ci on Worcester. How could I not have my Worcester fighters on Jose Rivera’s comeback card? ‘Pepper’ and Khiary really wanted to fight on this card. These kids (fighters seated at head table) look up to Jose for what he’s done and in life and his comeback is a really big story. I know what ‘Pepper” and Khiary are going to do and I know what Jose is going to do because he’s a veteran. I believe this will be a sell out!”

 

Kendrick Ball, Jr.: “I want to thank my promoter, Jimmy Burchfield, for giving me the okay to fight on this card. I also want to thank Granite Chin Promotions and Rivera Promotions Entertainment.

Khiary Gray: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment, CES Boxing and Granite Chin Promotions for giving me a chance to fight at home for the first time. This is a rematch for me. I stopped him in the first round, but there was some controversy. I know he’s coming to fight.”

 

Eslih Owusi: “I just graduated from high school and I wasn’t going to turn pro until after that. Fighting as a pro will be much more exciting than in the amateurs.”

 

Jose Angel Ortiz: “Mən çox həyəcanlıyam. I haven’t fought in two years. I was supposed to return before, but things didn’t work out. I never left boxing because I’m in the gym all the time working out or training other fighters. Jose and I are both in our forties. We’re going to show everybody that we can still fight.”

 

Edwin Rosado: “I will try and put on the best show I can.”

 

Joshua Orta: “I’m very happy about my first pro fight. I’ve dreamed of this day. Everybody is going to see an exciting card. I love this sport and always train hard.”
