Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Kendrick Ball, Џуниор. hits home run vs. Брајан Вера

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N.H. (Април 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, Џуниор. turned in a career-best performance in last night’s main event against dangerousBryan “The Warrior” Vera on the evening portion of the “Crossroads” day-night doubleheader, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 КО) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 КО) applied pressure, right from the opening bell. Ball took control in the second round, when he stayed in the pocket, snapping off crisp combinations. Ball fired more effective combinations in the third round as Vera started chasing his opponent. Ball started moving around the ring and fighting from the outside in the fourth and stayed on his toes the remainder of the fight.

Ball won an 8-round unanimous decision (79-73, 79-73, 78-74) to become the World Boxing Council (Земјите од Западен Балкан) USNBC (Соединетите Американски Држави) Silver Super Middleweight Champion.

“This was my best fight, because of who I fought, and the magnitude of the fight,” Ball commented. “The plan was to box and move because he was much smaller and slower. At times I banged, when I knew he wasn’t hurting me, but I shouldn’t have taken the risks.”

The 39-year-old Vera isn’t the same fighter he was when he beat three different world champions –Енди ЛиСерхио Mora (два пати) иSerhiy Dzinziruk.  The Texan needs to decide if it’s time to finally hang up his gloves.

“This was awesome, definitely our best show to date,” Granite Chin’sChris Traietti declared after the show. “We feel great about stepping up to give these fighters, especially the locals, a platform to perform on in front of fans. I think a lot of promoters have gotten lazy. They gave us a lane and Granite Chin took advantage. This was our fourth show with fans during the last year. Brian fought hard and he’s a great guy, but he’s not the same guy he was in 2011. He needs to think about what he’s going to do.

“Granite Chin returns here June 26та with another doubleheader. The afternoon show will be the Granite Chin Invitational for open elite boxers. With the New England Golden Gloves canceled again there is a void to fill. If promoters are going to help amateurs, I certainly will, starting June 26та."

ЧелинџерMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 КО) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionРајан Dibartolomeo (3-2-1, 1 КО) via a sixth-round stoppage in an entertaining co-feature. A devastating overhand right from Bates gave him his new crown as the referee didn’t even count as the ring doctor quickly entered the ring.

Larry “Hitman” Pryor took the contract out onScott Lambert and he wasted little time taking care of business to become the New Hampshire Cruiserweight Champion. Pryor took advantage of his decisive height and reach advantages, closing the show with a perfectly thrown left hook that sent Lambert to the canvas. Lambert managed to beat the count, but the referee stopped the fight midway through the opening round when he saw Lambert wobbling back and forth on rubbery legs.

Lanky lefthandedFrancis “The Tank” Hogan (5-0, 5 КО) graduated last night with a brilliant performance againstLarry “Slo Mo” Smith, who was in his 60та career fight. Hogan put down Smith early in the third round and caught the Texan late in the same round with a lefty-combination to the temple. Smith beat the count, but he was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round, and 20-year-old Hogan became the new New Hampshire Junior Middleweight Champion.

Former New England heavyweight championJustin “Crazy Train” Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 КО) positioned himself for another N.E. title shot with a spectacular knockout ofAlfredo “Choncho” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 КО). The 263-pound Rolfe, fighting out of Fairfield, Мејн, charged across the ring at the bell and put his Arizona opponent to sleep right in his corner, when he was counted out at the 20-seconds mark.

The newest member of the fightin’ Whitley family from western Massachusetts, непоразен боксер од полусредна категоријаDenzel Whitley, cruised to his fourth victory with his fourth knockout. He drilledAquilandro Brandao late in round one and the fight was stopped by the referee.

НепобеденитеJahye Brown (9-0, 7 КО) captured the vacant ABF Athletic junior middleweight title with a hard fought 8-round unanimous decision over a game Mexican opponent,Dormedes Potes (12-4-1, 9 КО).  The two fought toe-to-toe from the opening bell and Brown landed the more effective punches inside to earn the victory.

Promising middleweight prospectJulien “Black Dragon” Baptiste да се подобри 2-0 with his second knockout, blasting outBruno Dias in the third round.

Fighting for the first time in more than eight years, Fall River, MA welterweightDustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 КО) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingЕнтониAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match

Помлад среднаCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon два пати, the last closing the show late in the first round.

“Cannon” Berry stops Ibarra in 5

UBO All-America Welterweight ChampionBrandon “The Cannon” Berry (21-5-2, 13 КО) successfully defended in the afternoon card’s main event, overcoming a slow start in which he was buzzed to stop challengerGael Ibarra (5-3, 4 КО) in the fifth round.

Berry finished the fight in the fifth, when he unloaded twin barrages of unanswered punches on a trapped Ibarra until the referee waved off the fight.

“I’m glad it wasn’t a 4-round fight,” Berry said after the fight. “He was a strong guy. I was feeling it. He tested me. I want to thank my family and friends here, and Granite Chin and everybody involved in the promotion.”

No place like home for Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

WORCESTER, Маса. (Февруари 11, 2020) – A lifelong dream will become finally reality on February 28та, when undefeated World Boxing Council (Земјите од Западен Балкан) Youth World lightweight championJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (12-0, 6 КО) fights at home for the first time as a professional in Worcester, Масачусетс.

His opponent in the 8-round main event will be Mexican knockout artist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-5, 17 КО), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

“I’ve never fought in Worcester as a professional,” Ortiz said at a recent press conference. “I’ve wanted to do this bad to let people in Worcester see what it has. It’s going to be extra special because two of my closest friendsIrvin Gonzalez иKendrick Ball, Џуниор., are also fighting on this card. We’ve fought together since we were kids.”

The 23-year-old will not be defending his WBC Youth World title, because he will relinquish his belt in April, when turns 24 and becomes ineligible in terms of the age requirement (23 and younger).

“Jamaine had one of the most prestigious amateur careers ever in New England,” Ortiz’ promoterИми Буркфилд (CES Boxing) said. “He already owns the WBC World Youth title and has World Champion written all over him.”

“The Technician” is fine tuning his game and he’s already looking ahead to the not too distant future.

“I’m very excited to be fighting February 28та for the first time in Worcester,” Ortiz added. “It’s an exciting card with action-packed fights. I expect it’ll be sold out and hope so, because I want to prove to my city, мојот промотор, and local businesses that big-time boxing belongs here and will be supported by Worcester. In 2021, I want to bring world championship boxing to the new baseball stadium (Polar Park, the future home of the Worcester Red Sox, Triple A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox) across the street that will seat 10,000.”

The 32-year-old Minor, who didn’t start boxing until he was 23, captured bronze medals at the 2014 U.S. Boxing National and National Golden Gloves tournaments. New England boxing fans have been anxiously waiting for his pro debut.

Why did it take so long for Minor to turn pro, especially after a relatively late start in the sport, in addition to developing into quality national amateur boxer?

I was being a father,” Minor explained. “I have two sons, сега 11 и 8, and living in Worcester is tough. I wanted to make sure that I put them in the right direction.

It’s a privilege to make my pro debut in my hometown on a card headlined by my cousin,” Minor said. “Not every boxer gets a chance like this. It’s a great honor for me. I love the City of Worcester and the people who live here. Boxing has always been big in my family and I want to continue our legacy in Worcester boxing.

The 26-year-old Ball, promoted by CES Boxing, лица вознемирени ум Дани “Feel Good HollywoodRosenberger (4-6-4, 1 КО), на Youngstown, Охајо.

This fight is so important for me because I’ve always wanted to headline in my hometown and fight for a title,” the 6′ 3″ Ball said. “Another goal of mine, before I started boxing, was to fight on a card with my cousin, Мала Овен, who will be making his pro debut. He’s a big puncher and people can expect a big KO from him.

I’m an exciting fighter who likes to get knockouts. Expect something big to happen March 15та. I’m working on boxing more, using my jab a lot, to improve. I don’t know a lot about my opponent, but I understand he likes to move a lot.

Shearns Boxing is happy to have Kendrick Ball, Џуниор. headline our Mar. 15та картичка,” SBP promoter Chuck Shearns коментира. “He’s a good kid whose family is rooted in Worcester boxing. There definitely is a rise in the number of quality fighters coming out of Worcester. This will probably be our last chance to watch Kendrick Jr. fighting in Worcester before his promoter, CES Boxing, has him fighting on the national scene.

Бол, who started boxing at 13, experienced an unusual start to his boxing career, losing his first nine amateur bouts, before becoming a decorated boxer who turned pro in 2016.

I wasn’t really ready, my head wasn’t into boxing when I started,” Ball explained. “I didn’t want to quit, and that experience taught me to never to give up. I knew that I was goodI had success sparring with prosbut it wasn’t there when I fought. I kept punching and grew into my own.

Ball captured gold medals at three Western Golden Gloves Championships, plus top honors at the Rocky Marciano Tournament, also becoming a prestigious USA New England champion.

We have a tight bond and we’ve been doing this since he was little,” Ball Sr. reported. “It’s worked out well. I try to separate father-son and make it trainer-boxer, but that’s hard at times.

His son added, “It’s all good. Sometimes it’s difficult and becomes a little hard, but only because he’s pushing me. He’s my trainer, mostly, during fights.

Father and son agree that there is a boxing resurgence in Worcester, which has a rich history dating back a century, but it also went through a slow period. Ball is part of a gifted quartet that’s making noise today in boxing, joining Khiary Греј, Jermaine Ortiz и Irvin Gonzalez.

Over the last three years,” Ball St. remarked, “boxing has been hot again in Worcester. There are a lot of talented, young boxers in Worcester. Once Khiary turned pro, that triggered a lot of boxers turning pro.

We’re all close,” Ball Jr. склучен. “We’ve trained together and support each other.

Worcester boxing is on the rise and more talent is turning pro, starting Mar. 15та when Ball’s cousin, Minor, makes his long-awaited pro debut in a four-rounder versus Кори Морли (0-2-1), Филаделфија.

THE CHAMP IS BACK: referee Bob Benoit (L) and Jose Antonio Rivera

WORCESTER, Маса. (Август 19, 2018) – Seven years after his last fight, “На Гало” Хозе Антонио Ривера returned to the ring in grand fashion last night (Сабота) да наслов “Homecoming, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment, на паладиум во Worcester, Масачусетс.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 КО), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Трикратниот, two-division world champion Rivera pressured LarrySlomoshun: Смит (10-38-1, 7 КО) from the opening bell and he never let up.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

Конечно, 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. Се чувствувам одлично. We gave a good fight to the fans who have always supported me.

 

 

 

I give myself a C+ tonight. I’m going to talk with my family, but I’m thinking about one more fight, to make it 50 for his pro career).”

 

 

 

Хозе Антонио Ривера (Р) had a successful comeback fight

 

 

 

Во ко-одликуваат настан, Worcester super middleweight Kendrick Ball, Џуниор.

The popular Ball was fighting at home for the first time as a professional

 

 

 

The rematch between Worcester junior middleweight Khiary Греј (16-4, 12 КО) и Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 КО) ended in the same fashion as their first encounter did three years ago. Also fighting at home for the first time, Gray blasted out his game opponent, cracking him with a picture-perfect, left-fight combination that put Fernandez on his back. Fernandez beat the count, but referee Bob Benoit halted the action.

 

 

SOUTHBRIDGE, MA junior middleweight Вилфредо “на Sucaro” Паганска (5-0, 3 КО) остана непоразен, using a relentless body attack to drop EngelbertoGuarura” Valenzuela (11-15, 3 КО) три пати, the last ending the fight midway through the third round.

 

 

 

Springfield, MA junior lightweight Joshua Orta (1-0, 1 КО) turned in an impressive pro debut in a barn-burner that ended when (1-8-1, 1 КО), of Worcester, was unable to continue fighting after the third round.

 

 

 

Worcester welterweight Eslih Owuso (1-0) pitched a shutout in his pro debut, decking veteran Брајан “The Brick” Авраам (6-31-2, 6 КО) два пати во вториот круг, на патот кон едногласна одлука победа.

“На Гало” Jose Antonio Rivera to headline “Homecoming”

Шампионатот се врати!
Август 17 на паладиум во Worcester, М-р
“На Гало” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald

 

WORCESTER, Маса. (Јули 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “На Гало” Jose Rivera returns to the ring August 17 да наслов “Homecoming”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), на паладиум во Worcester, Масачусетс.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Ривера (41-6-1, 24 КО) has already lost more than 30 фунти, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against RubenModern Day WarriorGalvan (27-26-4, 10 КО) in the eight-round main event.

 

 

 

Во 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (ИБО) World welterweight title, запирање Gilberto Flores во вториот круг. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, родниот град омилени Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (ВБА) World Welterweight Championship, 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 Алехандро Гарсија(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,” Ривера објасни. “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. 17та show.), 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.

 

 

 

Granite Chin Promotionsco-promoter Chuck Shearns додадени, “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. Се бореле во 49 години, 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 Крис (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? Не, 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. Во моментов, 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 како про, 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. 17та opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Including Zab Јуда, Хулио Цезар Чавез, Џуниор., Jorge Paez и Павле 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.

 

 

 

“И, се разбира, 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.

 

 

 

Среднотешка Kendrick Ball, Џуниор. (9-1-2, 6 КО) and junior middleweight Khiary Греј (15-4, 11 КО), 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. Ball meets Димитриј Вокер (8-21-2, 4 КО) in the co-featured event, while Gray (15-4, 11 КО) лица Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 КО), of Brockton, М-р, in a rematch of a fight won by Gray.

 

 

 

Also scheduled to fight on the undercard in four-round bouts are Springfield, MA welterweight Jose Angel “КО” Ортиз (4-13-1, 1 КО) наспроти. Сет Баслер (0-8) and pro-debuting featherweight Joshua Orta наспроти. Worcester’s Едвин Rosado (1-7-1, 1 КО), SOUTHBRIDGE, MA welterweight Вилфредо “на Sucaro” Паганска (4-0, 2 КО) наспроти. TBA, and Worcester’s pro-debuting welterweight Eslih Owusu.наспроти. Брајан “The Brick” Авраам (6-30-2, 6 КО).
