WORCESTER, Mass. (Februarie 11, 2018) – Undefeated prospect Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera afgewerk Kevin “Die New England Bully” Cobbs in die derde ronde, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New England se toekoms 5” kaart, aangebied deur Rivera Promotions Vermaak, by Die Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 Uitklophoue) fought once again in front of his large, traveling fanbase from Hartford, CT, capturing the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) light heavyweight title in dramatic fashion. The charismatic Hartford boxer ended his third consecutive match with what has become his trademark right-uppercut.

Rivera used his strength, energy and determined will to defeat South Boston’s Cobbs (10-3, 4 Uitklophoue), whose previous fight had been more than a year ago, when he was stopped in the second round by now world champion David Benavidez.

In only his sixth pro fight, the key question going into the bout was whether Rivera was ready to effectively step up in class to face a more experienced Cobbs. Right from the opening bell, the answer was a resounding, Ja, as Rivera pounded Cobbs with powerful shots to the body and head.

Cobbs was dropped three times in the third round, one was ruled a push, and the end came when referee Jackie Morrell halted the action at the 2:51 as a reeling Cobbs was blasted backwards from the Rivera’s previously mentioned uppercut.

“I stepped things up in the third,” Rivera verduidelik. “He stopped throwing as many punches in the third and was ducking in. I said I wasn’t going to look for the knockout but, if it came, I’d take it. I got him with my uppercut. I respect Cobbs and thank him for giving me this opportunity.”
In die mede-featured gebeurtenis, tuisdorp gunsteling Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-2) fought to a four-round majority draw.
Super middelgewigtitel Troy “Omar KO kunstenaar” kunstenaar (5-7-1, 3 Uitklophoue), van Danbury, CT, upset intrastate rival Jose “Gegradeerde R” Rivera (4-2, 3 Uitklophoue), van Hartford, winning a six-round majority decision.
Danbury, CT junior weltergewig Omar Bordoy, Jr. (4-0-, 1 KO) used a blistering body attack to defeat Seth Basler (0-5) by way of a lop-sided four-round unanimous decision.

Junior welterweight prospect Wilfredo “die Sucaro” heidense (4-0, 2 Uitklophoue) floored veteran Bryan “die Brick” Abraham (6-29-2, 6 Uitklophoue) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. In die tweede ronde, heidense, of Southbridge, MA., drilled Abraham who went flying across the ring and into the ropes as referee Jackie Morrell halted the bout.

Springfield, MA junior middelgewigtitel Derrick “Stout seun” Whitley (3-0) cruised to a dominating four-round unanimous decision over Cleveland’s Roger Blankenship (1-3), pitching a complete shutout in the process.

Bridgeport, CT welterweight Joe Goss (1-0) turned in an impressive pro debut, dropping Montreal’s Samuel Vasquez (1-3, 1 KO) in the second round on his way to a four-round unanimous decision.

Puerto Rican junior lightweight Luis “Lobito” Rivera (4-3, 1 Uitklophoue) overcame a nasty cut over his eye to win a hard-fought four-round majority decision over Carlos Marrero, III (0-2), van Bridgeport, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA lig swaargewig Ray “bazooka” Graceski (5-0-1, 3 Uitklophoue) and International Muay Thai fighter, Harford’s pro boxing debuting Pawel Banasiak (0-1-0), fought to a four-round draw in an entertaining brawl.

Puerto Rican super middleweight Jelame Garcia (7-0, 6 Uitklophoue), fighting out of Lynn, MA., remained undefeated but Nathan Schulte (0-5), van Woburn, MA, extended him the full distance for first time as a pro en route to a four-round unanimous decision.

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “New England se toekoms 5”

Skryf 'n opmerking
“New England se toekoms 5”
Februarie. 10 in Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Mass. (Januarie 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, junior weltergewig Omar Bordoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10ste by “New England se toekoms 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), by Die Palladium in Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), in 'n vierronde-wedstryd. “My opponent is tough, and he always comes to fight,” Bordoy said. “He keeps coming forward and that’s going to make for an exciting fight.”
The 22-year-old Bordoy is the typical example of a volatile teenager who found his way in boxing. He was a high school football player who started boxing at the age of 17. Bordoy had an abbreviated amateur career, highlighted by his winning performance at the New England Golden Gloves as a novice boxer.
“I was a bad hot head as a kid,” Bordoy admitted. “Een dag, my cousin Edgardo, invited me to his gym after football practice and he beat me up. I was knocked down a few notches. I got into boxing and enjoyed watching Miguel Cotto en Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Nou, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I’m a come- forward boxer who can still brawl. I’m working on my defense and feel that making adjustments in the ring is what I do best.”
Bordoy, Jr. credits Team Bordoy — bestuurder A.J. Galante, hoof afrigter Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi en Dave McDonough – for his success.
“I’m pleased to be with the right people to bring me to the top and I’m willing to do what’s needed to get there,” Bordoy added.
Bordoy, who works fulltime as a repair technician, made his pro debut last May and he fought a total of three times in 2017, his most recent last October in Worcester on an RPE-promoted show, in which he stopped 34-fight veteran Bryan Abraham in die vierde ronde.
“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” promotor Jose Antonio Rivera opgemerk. “I am proud of Omar and his accomplishments so far. He is a young, throwback fighter with a lot of potential. I see big things in his future and I am glad to see he is being guided in the right direction by his team.”
In the eight-round main event, onoorwonne Hartford (CT) lig swaargewig Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 Uitklophoue) neem op Kevin “Die New England Bully” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Uitklophoue), fighting out of South Boston (MA), vir die vakante Universal Boksfederasie (UBF) New England titel in die agt-ronde hoofren.
Worcester se tweemalige nasionale amateur-kampioen Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0) faces Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-1) in die vier-round-mede featured gebeurtenis.

PERSCONFERENTIE KWOTASIES
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: “Dit is 'n groot geleentheid vir my. 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. Moenie knip, 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 in twee jaar toe ek die oproep (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 Heidense: “Ek is 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.”

WORCESTER, Mass. (Januarie 8, 2018) – Een van die gewildste New England boks vooruitsigte, onoorwonne Hartford (CT) lig swaargewig Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 Uitklophoue), wil kop sy derde show Saterdag nag, Februarie 10, by Die Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.
In die vyfde paaiement van die “New England se toekoms” reeks, aangebied deur Rivera Promotions Vermaak (RPE), die 27-jarige Rivera ontmoet Kevin “kray 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Uitklophoue), veg uit Burlington (VT), vir die vakante Universal Boksfederasie (UBF) New England titel in die agt-ronde hoofren.
Rivera, wat 'n 2016 Rocky Marciano Toernooi kampioen, kom uit 'n sensasionele tweede ronde knockout van 146-stryd veteraan Roberto Valenzuela die afgelope Desember 9 in Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Ek is opgewonde om Richie boks vir die UBF New England titel so vroeg in sy beroepsloopbaan het,”” gesê promotor Jose Antonio Rivera, die afgetrede 3-time, 2-afdeling wêreldkampioen. “Dit is die derde keer dat ons het die voorreg gehad om hom te veg op een van ons kaarte het. Hy het geveg in die hoofren van ons laaste show (Oktober) by die DCU Center. Rivera lyk beter en skerper elke keer as ek kyk hom geveg. Ek sien groot dinge kom vir hom. Hy het die gereedskap en dissipline 'n afrigter lyk vir en 'n bokser moet wêreldkampioen geword. Die lug is die limiet vir Richard en, vir nou, Ons is dankbaar vir 'n klein rol speel om te help sy professionele loopbaan te ontwikkel.”
Rivera het suksesvol bemark sy Popeye persona tydens sy jong pro boks loopbaan, dra cap 'n matroos se toetrede tot die ring met 'n tradisionele Popeye-agtige pyp hangend in sy mond. “Daar is verskeie redes vir my bynaam, 'Popeye', maar toe ek nog baie jonk was,” Rivera verduidelik, “Ek het abnormaal groot voorarms. Dit net vas met my deur die jare, wanneer mense in die gym vir my verwys, so ek het uit te voer met dit. Ek bring lewe terug na Hartford met geduld, regoor New England, met geduld, volharding en styl. Ek woon in die oomblik.”
Hoewel hy nie baie groot toekennings of toernooie gewen het as 'n amateur-bokser, Rivera het waardevolle ondervinding boks baie van die beste amateurs in New England en in nasionale gebeure, sowel as sparring met die hou van die voormalige wêreldkampioen Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Chad Dawson en Joe Smith, Jr. Hy het ook geleer van tyd spandeer in die ring met die voormalige titel uitdagers Israel “eerder” Cardona en John Scully.
“Ek het my tyd draai pro want ek het nie 'n ondersteuning stelsel vir my te kry na die volgende vlak,” Rivera opgemerk. “Ek was onseker. Die positiewe terugvoer wat ek ontvang het van vegters ek sparred gevoer in my vertroue. Nou, in net my sesde pro stryd, Ek sal die hemel van die derde keer, en veg vir my eerste titel. Ek kan nie bedank die Riveras (Jose en sy seun, A.J.) genoeg vir wat hulle gedoen het vir my. Hulle het geglo in my.”
Op die eerste, Rivera was ietwat huiwerig om die meer ervare Cobb veg, maar, na bietjie navorsing te doen, Hy aanvaar die uitdaging. “Ek was 'n bietjie senuweeagtig op die eerste,” hy erken. “Sommige is bevraagteken as ek gereed om te stap tot by hom te veg was. Ek het 'n bietjie navorsing: Hy het nie 'n groter amateur loopbaan, of geveg meer ses of agt rondes gevegte as my.
