“New England’s Future 3” Results from Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Massa. (Junho 11, 2017) – Boxing returned to DCU Arena (Hall de exibição) pela primeira vez em 11 anos and Worcester’s newest budding star, Irvin Gonzalez, entertained the hometown crowd, capturando a vaga Federação Universal de Boxe (UBF) Featherweight Championship, last night in the “New England’s Future 3” evento principal.
“New England’s Future 3” was presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), que é de propriedade e operados por aposentou três vezes, dois divisão campeão mundial Jose Antonio Rivera e seu filho, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera. RPE will return to the DCU Center on October 28th for its final installment of “Futuro da Nova Inglaterra” series in 2017.
In the co-featured attraction, popular New York City heavyweight Sonya “The Scholar” Lamonakis, by way of Greece and Turners Falls, MA, enfrentado Laura “Lady Ram” Ramsey in a female battle of former world champions for the vacant UBF World title,
The 21-year-old Gonzalez (7-0, 6 KOs) was fighting in his first scheduled eight-round bout, contra Raul Lopez (10-32-1, 5 KOs), do Bronx (Nova Iorque). The two fighters came out fast in a firefight, both throwing leather from all angles, although neither was hurt in the opening round. The pace picked up even more in the second as both fighters landed solid shots.
Fighting in the third round for the first time in his young professional career, Gonzalez turned up the heat, ripping effective combination to the head and body of Lopez, who responded by pounding Gonzalez on the ropes.
Gonzalez dropped Lopez early in the fourth with a strong right to the chin, followed by a brawling fifth round, and the action slowed slightly in the sixth. Gonzalez, who took control in the final two rounds, went the distance for the first time, taking a hard-fought eight-round unanimous decision (79-73 X 2, 76-75).
“He was definitely the toughest I’ve fought,” Gonzalez said after the fight. “I still have to work on things in the gym. I didn’t go to the body like I did in my last few fights. I was head-hunting tonight. The dude was tough, I had to out-box him. I hurt my left hand late in the later rounds and stayed southpaw.
“I definitely learned a lot. My conditioning was there and I went eight strong rounds. Eu me sinto bem, I could go another eight rounds. Fighting at home was good, I have a big fan-base here. I hope to be back here in October 28th.”
Lamonakis (10-2-3, 1 KO), a former IBO world champion, and past GBU world titlist Ramsey (108-1, 5 KOs) went toe-to-toe from the opening bell for 10 competitivo, non-stop rounds, ending in a 10-round draw by three judges’ scores of 95-95.
Undefeated Worcester heavyweight Bryan Daniels (5-0, 3 KOs) unloaded on an over-matched Christopher “The Archbishop” Boykins (1-9), dropping the Floridian three times in the second round until referee Leo Gerstel mercifully waved off the fight at the end of the second.
Former No. 1 USA amateur boxer Bobby Harris III, the son of multiple national amateur champion and retired pro heavyweight, Bobby Harris, made his long-awaited pro debut. Fighting out of Worcester, Harris overcame early roughhouse tactics by Brazilian light heavyweight Rodrigo Almeida, de Woburn, MA, to earn a four-round “fechamento de fábrica” decisão.
In a rematch of a fight this past April, Antonio Chaves Fernandez (8-32-4, 2 KOs), of Brockton (MA), defeated Worcester welterweight Andy Gonzalez (6-2, 5 KOs), by way of a six-round majority decision, to even their rivalry at 1-1.
Southbridge, Peso meio-médio MA Wilfredo “o Sucaro” Pagão (2-0) and his Lawrence, MA opponent, Anthony Everett (1-6), turned in an entertaining performance as Pagan won a four-round majority decision, despite him being decked in the final round.
Lawrence, Peso meio-médio MA Adrian Sosa (3-0, 3 KOs) needed only 41-second to stop New York City’s Zach Johnson (0-2). Sosa dropped Johnson in the first 10 seconds and again moments later, after which referee Gerstel halted the action.
Springfield, Peso meio-médio MA Grua “Impacto duplo” Whitley (2-0), the son of a retired professional boxer, melhorou a 2-0 with a four-round unanimous decision over veteran Connecticut fighter Shaka Moore (12-23-3, 2 KOs).
Worcester’s pro-debuting Neal Sullivan (0-0-1) e superpesado brasileiro Saul Almeida (0-8-1) opened the night fighting a four-round majority draw.

“New England’s Future 3” June 10th em Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Massa. (Junho 1, 2017) – Popular heavyweight Sonya “The Scholar” Lamonakis assume Laura “Lady Ram” Ramsey para a vaga Federação Universal Boxing (UBF) World title, no sábado noite, Junho 10, no oito-redonda “New England’s Future 3” co-feature at the DCU Center (Hall de exibição) em Worcester, Massachusetts.
“New England’s Future 3” é apresentado por Rivera Promoções Entretenimento (RPE), que é de propriedade e operados por aposentou três vezes, dois divisão campeão mundial Jose Antonio Rivera e seu filho, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
Perspectiva invicta Irvin Gonzalez (6-0, 6 KOs), 21, headlines at home in his first scheduled eight-round bout, contra Raul Lopez (10-2-1, 5 KOs), do Bronx (Nova Iorque), for the vacant UBF All-American super featherweight championship.
“I am excited to be able to have our first world championship boxing match on our ‘New England’s 3’ evento de boxe,” promoter Jose Rivera commented. “It’s special because it’s a women’s World Heavyweight title fight with veterans like Sonya and Laura, who also have some hostilities towards one another. They’ve both earned this opportunity to fight for the UBF Women’s World Heavyweight Championship. I expect fireworks and know fans will be in for a treat.”
Pro boxing returns to the DCU Center for the first time em 11 anos, when promoter Jose Antonio Rivera defeated Alejandro Garcia, por meio de uma decisão unânime 12-redonda, para a Associação Mundial de Boxe (WBA) título mundial de super meio-médio.
Born in Greece, Lamonakis (10-2-2, 1 KO), who grew-up in Turners Falls (MA), is a teacher in New York City. She is a Springfield College graduate and has two Master’s Degrees. “I’m honored to be fighting in the first world title fight in Worcester since Jose Rivera,” Lamonakis said. “I’m from Massachusetts and I fought twice at Mechanics Hall (em Worcester, including her pro debut in 2010). I heard Jose was promoting shows in Worcester, so I called to say I’d like to fight for a world title on one of his cards. I think he saw me fight before and he quickly agreed.
“This is still a make-dominates sport. I tell young girls to box as a side job. I have two Master’s Degrees and I’m a full-time teacher in New York. Boxing is my hobby. Very few women can make enough money boxing to make a good living. I don’t know if it’s because I was born in Greece and boxing is in my blood, but I love this sport and that’s what keeps me going. I guess I was born to fight. I enjoy getting in the ring. I’ve gotten a lot from boxing and now I’m giving back to amateurs in New York City as president of a youth organization.”
Lamonakis; is a former International Boxing Organization World and New York State female heavyweight champion. Her opponent, Ramsey (10-7, KOs), as a two-time world title challenger is hoping the third time is the charm for her. They have history together and this fight nearly happened a few years ago.
“I beat her daughter (Alysia Williams-Stevenson) in my second pro fight,” Lamonakis explained. “She said she’s see me and now, seven years later, we’re fighting. She’s a little older than me and I needed more fights before I fought her. We were supposed to fight a few years ago in Aruba but a hurricane cancelled the show.”
In an eight-round Special Cruiserweight Attraction, Pembroke (MA) fan favorite Vinnie “Pesadelo americano” Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOs) meets Brazilian knockout specialist Marcelo Leonardo “Queizada” da Silva (22-4, 17 KOs).

Budding star Irvin Gonzalez Starting to make waves in Super featherweight division

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA
“New England’s Future 3” June 10th em Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Massa. (Maio 24, 2017) – New England’s top prospect with 10 pro fights of less, undefeated hometown favorite Irvin Gonzalez, is on a fast track going into his June 10th headline fight in the third installment of the “Futuro da Nova Inglaterra” série, no Centro DCU (Hall de exibição) em Worcester, Massachusetts.

“New England’s Future 3” é apresentado por Rivera Promoções Entretenimento (RPE), que é de propriedade e operados por aposentou três vezes, dois divisão campeão mundial Jose Antonio Rivera e seu filho, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
The 21-year-old Gonzalez (6-0, 6 KOs) assume Raul Lopez (10-2-1, 5 KOs), do Bronx (Nova Iorque), in an eight-round main event for the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All-American super featherweight championship.
Pro boxing returns to the DCU Center for the first time em 11 anos, ironicamente, when promoter Jose Antonio Rivera defeated Alejandro Garcia, por meio de uma decisão unânime 12-redonda, para a Associação Mundial de Boxe (WBA) título mundial de super meio-médio.
“I am excited to watch Irvin’s boxing career flourish,” promoter Jose Rivera remarked. “He has all the tools to become a world champion. Fighting for the UBF championship will be the first of many and I am glad that we are able to give him this opportunity. I see big things for Irvin and I hope fans come out Sábado noite, Junho 10th, to support him and the other local boxers.”.
“Esta é uma grande oportunidade para mim,” Gonzalez disse. “I’m blessed to be fighting in Worcester for my first title. It’s not a big title but it’s like taking baby steps to a world title. Since I started boxing at the Boys & Girls Club, I always wanted to be like Jose, a three-time world champion. Agora, it’s my turn, and I’m fighting again in my city.”
Gonzalez has a perfect pro record: six rights, six wins by knockout. Contudo, he’s only had fought a grand total of eight rounds, e junho 10th he’s in a scheduled eight-round match. The well-spoken youngster isn’t concerned with the step up in rounds and opposition.
“I’ve been asked about that by a lot of media, trainers and other fighters,” he explained. “I’ve always trained like it’s for a world title fight, 12 rounds, so I’m not worried about going into deep water. I’m in magnificent shape, three weeks before the fight, and even in the amateurs I’ve always gotten stronger as the fight went along. In sparring, I get stronger, so going eight isn’t a problem for me.
“I don’t really know much about my opponent. He won a few national titles but hasn’t fought too often. I’ll see what he brings into the ring and then adjust. I know I’m taller.”
Gonzalez learned a lot when he was a sparring partner for Guillermo Rigondeaux in Florida that was supposed to be a six-week training camp that ended after three weeks due to Rigondeaux’ fight being cancelled.
“I learned a lot about different training methods that I now use,” Irvin continued. “His techniques are phenomenal. I was around a world champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist and I saw his work ethic. After all he’s accomplished, he still has a great work ethic, and I learned from him that a fighter need continue working like he does until the day it’s all over. It’s not all about money, it’s having fun every day, doing what we love.”
Former world female heavyweight champions Sonya “The Scholar” Lamonakis (10-2-2, 1 KO), the New York City teacher who lived in Turners Falls (MA), e Laura “Lady Ram” Ramsey (10-7, 5 KOs) battle for the vacant UBF World heavyweight title in the eight-round co-featured event.
Pembroke (MA) cruiserweight Vinnie “Pesadelo americano” Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOs) meets invading Brazilian knockout artist Marcelo Leonardo “Queizada” da Silva (22-4, 17 KOs) in an eight-round Special Cruiserweight Attraction.
Também lutando na eliminatória, tudo em quatro redondos bouts, are Worcester welterweight Andy Gonzalez (6-1, 5 KOs) vs. TBA, Lawrence (MA) meio-médio júnior Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (2-0, 2 KOs) vs. Buffalo’s Jack Grady (0-5-1), New Haven (CT) pluma Josh Crespo (7-4-3, 3 KOs) vs. Georgia’s Gabriel Braxton (2-18, 1 KO), Worcester pena Andino Ranse (1-0) vs. Woburn (MA) Gilvan Santos (0-3), Springfield (MA) middleweight júnior Grua “Impacto duplo” Whitley (1-0) vs. Norwalk (CT) veterano Shaka Moore (12-22-3, 2 KOs), Worcester’s pro-debuting Bobby Harris III vs. Woburn (MA) super-médios Rodrigo Almeida (1-6), Southbridge (MA) meio-médio júnior Wilfredo “o Sucaro” Pagão (1-0) vs. Lawrence’s Anthony Everett (1-5), Worcester de Bryan Daniels (4-0, 2 KOs) vs. Flórida Christopher “The Archbishop” Boykins (1-8) at a 205-pound catchweight, Hartford de (CT) Richie “Popeye o marinheiro” Rivera (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Brasileiro Nathan Schulte (0-2) at a 180-pound catchweight, and Worcester’s pro-debuting Neal Sullivan vs. Framingham (MA) super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8).
