WORCESTER, Mass. (Februar 11, 2018) – Undefeated prospect Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera avsluttet Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs i tredje runde, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New England framtid 5” kort, presentert av Rivera Kampanjer Underholdning, på Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 KOs) 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 KOs), 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.

The beginning of the end for Cobbs (L) as Rivera sets up his vaunted uppercut

“I stepped things up in the third,” Rivera forklart. “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.”
I co verdig begivenhet, hjemby favoritt 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 middleweight Troy “Omar KO Artist” artist (5-7-1, 3 KOs), av Danbury, CT, upset intrastate rival Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-2, 3 KOs), of Hartford, winning a six-round majority decision.
Danbury, CT junior welterweight Omar Borðoy, 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 “den Sucaro” Pagan (4-0, 2 KOs) floored veteran Bryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-29-2, 6 KOs) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. I den andre runden, Pagan, 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 middleweight Derrick “Bad Boy” 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 KOs) overcame a nasty cut over his eye to win a hard-fought four-round majority decision over Carlos Marrero, III (0-2), av Bridgeport, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA light heavyweight Ray “bazooka” Graceski (5-0-1, 3 KOs) 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.

Februar. 10 i Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Mass. (Januar 31, 2018) — Lett tungvekt Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOs”, representerer George Foreman III‘S Alle Kamper gym i South Boston (MA), vil være tilbake i ringen etter en forholdsvis lang pause, Februar 10th mot ubeseiret Hartford (CT) prospekt Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOs), på Palladium i Worcester.
Rivera vs. Cobbs vil kjempe for den ledige Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England lys tungvektstittelen

i åtte-runde “New England framtid 5” main event. “Nye England';s Future 5″, presentert av Rivera Kampanjer Underholdning (RPE)”, er den femte utgaven av den populære “New Englands Future-serien.”
“Vi er veldig glade for å være i stand til å ha satt sammen en kamp av dette kaliber,” promoterJose Antonio Rivera kommen. “Disse er den type kamp som boksing fans elsker å se. Cobbs er en velprøvd kandidat som har store kamper erfaring. It’s good to see he is confident in his abilities to take on Rivera, en ubeseiret up-and-coming-prospektet med en svært lys fremtid.”
Den 33-år gamle Cobbs har ikke kjempet i mer enn to år, siden han ble stoppet i andre runde av oppsiktsvekkende David Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOs), 21-åringen Reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) Super mellomvekt verdensmester.
“Folk trodde at jeg hadde fått ut av boksing,” Cobbs forklart. “”Jeg har aldri sluttet å trene, Jeg har bare ikke noen kamper siden Benavidez kampen. Jeg er en personlig trener og nå er jeg tilbake i boksing form. Jeg aldri igjen boksing! Denne kampen er en stor mulighet for meg. Det kan åpne dører for hva min camp bestemmer. Min jobb er å gjøre det som trengs i firkantede ringen.”
Rivera har hatt bare fem pro kamper og ikke har en rik amatør stamtavle. Han har aldri vært i ringen med noen nær Benavidez. Cobbs har også sparred Winky Wright, Chad Dawson for begge sine kamper med Bernard Hopkins, Edwin Rodriguez, Peter Manfredo, Jr. og de fleste av de beste dagens New England boksere.
Mange mener Cobbs har en avgjørende opplevelse fordel over Rivera og spørsmålet om han er klar til å ta steget opp i klassen for å bekjempe Cobbs. “Han hadde bare fem pro kamper,” Cobbs svarte når du blir spurt, “men jeg vet ikke om han er klar. Jeg kan ikke svare på det, bare han kan. men vi finner ut februar 10th. Jeg kan fortelle deg at jeg er klar.”
Ironisk, Cobbs er fra Rivera hjemby, Hartford. Cobbs forklarte at han kom inn i noen problemer på Hartford gater som en unge, som førte til at han resettling i Burlington, Vermont. Han åpnet til slutt et treningsstudio i Fall River (MA) og arbeider nå på Everybody Fights.
“Jeg gjør det jeg liker å gjøre,” Cobbs konkluderte. “I don’t have jitters like I did when I first started boxing Everything is easier now, Jeg er avslappet i ringen. Jeg er fortsatt læring på jobben, men jeg er mer kompetent enn jeg var den siste gangen jeg kjempet. Jeg er en bokse kameleon: Jeg kan boksen eller bang for å motvirke min motstanderens stil.”
Worcester to-tiden nasjonal amatør mester Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0) møter brasilianske super mellomvekt Saul Almeida (0-8-1) i fire-runde co verdig arrangement.

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

“New England framtid 5”
Februar. 10 i Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Mass. (Januar 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, junior weltervekt Omar Borðoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10th ved “New England framtid 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), på Palladium i Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), in a four-round bout. “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. “En 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 og Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Nå, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker eller 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 — sjef A.J. Galante, head trainer Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi og 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 i fjerde runde.
“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “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, ubeseiret Hartford (CT) Lett tungvekt Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOs) tar på Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOs), fighting out of South Boston (MA), for den ledige Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England tittelen i åtte-round main event.
Worcester to-tiden nasjonal amatør mester Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0) faces Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-1) i fire-runde co verdig arrangement. Hartford super mellomvekt Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-1, 3 KOs) oppfyller Troy “Omar KO Artist” artist (4-7-1 (3 KOs), av Danbury (CT) i en seks-round bout.
Fighting på undercard, alt i fire-runde-kampene, er Southbridge (MA) junior weltervekt Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Pagan (3-0, 1 KO) vs. pro-debuterte Nick Peralta, av Lawrence, ubeseiret Springfield (MA) Lett tungvekt Ray “bazooka” Graceski(5-0, 3 KOs). vs. Hartford pro-debuterte Paul Bansiak, Spring weltervektDerrick “Bad Boy” Whitley (2-0) vs. Roger Blankenship (1-2), ubeseiret puertoricanske super mellomvekt Jelame Garcia (6-0, 6 KOs) vs. Brasilianske Rodrigo Almeida 1-7), Bridgeports (CT) pro-debuterte weltervekt Joseph Goss vs. Seth Basler (0-3), og Hartford junior lettvekt vs. Bridgeports Carlos Marraro, III (0-1).

Pressekonferanse SITATER
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: “Dette er en stor mulighet for meg. 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. Ikke 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 om to år when I got the call (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: “Jeg er 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 10th. This will be my first fight on a Rivera Promotions card, but I’m familiar with most of the fighters on this card.”

Undefeated Hartford lett tungvekt prospektet overskrifter vs. Kevin Cobbs
“New England framtid 5”

Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera
(Bilde av @Bonesprostudio)
WORCESTER, Mass. (Januar 8, 2018) – En av de mest populære New England boksing prospekter, ubeseiret Hartford (CT) Lett tungvekt Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOs), vilje overskrift sin tredje utstilling Lørdag natt, Februar 10, på Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.
I den femte utgaven av “New England framtid” Serien, presentert av Rivera Kampanjer Underholdning (RPE), 27-åringen Rivera møter Kevin “Kray 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOs), bekjempelse av Burlington (VT), for den ledige Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England tittelen i åtte-round main event.
Rivera, som var en 2016 Rocky Marciano turnering mester, kommer av en sensasjonell andre-runde knockout av 146-kampen veteran Roberto Valenzuela dette siste desember 9 i Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Jeg er glad for å ha Richie boksing for UBF New England tittelen så tidlig i sin proffkarriere,”” nevnte promoter Jose Antonio Rivera, den trakk 3-tids, 2-divisjon verdensmester. “Dette er tredje gang vi har hatt det privilegium ham kjempe om en av våre kort. Han kjempet i den viktigste hendelsen i vår siste show (Oktober) på DCU-senteret. Rivera ser bedre og skarpere hver gang jeg ser ham kamp. Jeg ser store ting kommer for ham. Han har de verktøy og disiplin en trener ser etter, og en bokser må bli verdensmester. Himmelen er grensen for Richard og, for nå, Vi er takknemlige for å spille en liten del for å bidra til å utvikle sin profesjonelle karriere.”
Rivera har med hell markedsført sin Popeye persona under hans unge pro boksing karriere, iført en seiler hetten inn i ringen med en tradisjonell Pave lignende rør dinglende i munnen. “Det er flere grunner til mitt kallenavn, ‘Popeye’, men da jeg var veldig ung,” Rivera forklart, “Jeg hadde unormalt store underarmer. Det bare stakk med meg gjennom årene, når folk henvist til meg i gym, så jeg har kjørt med det. Jeg bringe livet tilbake til Hartford med tålmodighet, over hele New England, med tålmodighet, utholdenhet og stil. Jeg bor i øyeblikket.”
Selv om han ikke vant mange viktige priser eller turneringer som en amatør bokser, Rivera fått uvurderlig erfaring boksing mange av de beste amatører i New England og i nasjonale begivenheter, samt sparring med slike som tidligere verdensmestere Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Chad Dawson og Joe Smith, Jr. Han lærte også fra tid tilbrakt i ringen med tidligere tittel utfordrere Israel “heller” Cardona og John Scully.
“Jeg tok min tid å snu pro fordi jeg ikke har et system for å få meg til neste nivå,” Rivera bemerket. “Jeg var usikker. De positive tilbakemeldingene jeg fikk fra jagerfly jeg sparred matet inn i min tillit. Nå, i bare min sjette pro kamp, Jeg vil være headliner for tredje gang, og kjemper for min første tittel. Jeg kan ikke takke Riveras (Jose og hans sønn, AJ) nok for hva de har gjort for meg. De har trodd på meg.”
Først, Rivera var noe motvillig til å bekjempe de mer erfarne Cobb men, etter å gjøre noen undersøkelser, Han aksepterte utfordringen. “Jeg var litt nervøs først,” Han innrømmet. “Noen ble avhør om jeg var klar til å gå opp å bekjempe ham. Jeg gjorde noen undersøkelser: Han hadde ikke en større amatør karriere, eller kjempet flere seks eller åtte runder kamper enn meg. Og jeg var sparringspartner for første pro til å slå ham, Tyron Burris(TKO2 i 2012). Jeg er klar! Jeg er 27 og trenger en kamp som dette.”
