HUMBERTO “TITO” VELAZCO SCORES SENSATIONAL KNOCKOUT IN EL PASO, TX

Efterlad en kommentar
Photo by Mario Serrano – Prins Ranch Boksning
Aguascalientes, MX (Februar 19, 2018) – Denne sidste Lørdag, på Don Haskins Center i El Paso, TX, Sukker Kampagner light-heavyweight prospect, Humberto “Tito” Velazco (19-1-1, 14 KOS), scored the knockout of the night, mod Thomas “Top Dog” Williams Jr. (20-4, 14 KOS).
Velazco, who hails from Aguascalientes, Mexico, rallied from an early first round knockdown, which was more of an off-balance circumstance. Velazco wasn’t hurt and evened the score in the second round with his own knockdown, catching Williams with a short right to the face, a punch he didn’t see coming. Williams survived the round but was walking on wobbly legs. Now in a rhythm, Velazco’s timing was on point as he sent Williams to the deck for the second time in round three, this time hurting him badly with combination of punches. Williams survived once again only to be stopped in round four when Velazco, a heavy-handed southpaw, blasted him with a straight left, forcing the referee to stop the bout at the 1:37 mark.
“It was a great feeling to get a knockout in my first fight in the united states,” said Humberto Velazco, der ledes af Greg Hannley of Prince Ranch Boxing. “When I got up from the knockdown I wasn’t hurt, but it definitely woke me up. When I dropped Williams, Jeg vidste, at han kom til skade, but the round ended. I knew I had to step it up and I got him out of there. I’m ready to fight all the big names at light-heavyweight and super-middleweight. Adonis Stevenson, Sergey Kovalev, Dmitry Bivol og Artur Beterbiev are at the top. I want their belts, so they are on my target list.”
A genetic freak, Velaszco stands slightly over 6″1, and has a rare combination of speed and power. His athletic pedigree runs in the family as his brother is a professional basketball player.
“When I first saw Velazco in the gym, I knew he was something special,” sagde Oscar Vazquez, CEO of Sugar Promotions. “He has great feet for a big man and showed he can bang with the best of them. I’m very grateful to the folks at PBC, who gave us the opportunity to fight on this card. I believe Velazco will be the next big star to come out of Mexico.”
“Velazco is a super athletic fighter with a great personality.” said Prince Ranch Boxing’s Greg Hannley. “His final knockdown was amazing. We have big plans for Tito and everyone on boxing will know his name soon.”
Velazco vs. Williams Jr. was showcased on the PBC card headlined by Victor Ortiz vs. Devon Alexander. Look for Velaszco to be back in the ring by summer, most likely in his hometown of Aguascalientes, Mexico.

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.”

Må ikke blinke, don’t go to the bathroom because any one of these fights could end at any time.”

This is going to be a big year for the Rivera’s. I like to switch it up and I’m ready to go.”

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.”

WORCESTER, Masse. (Januar 8, 2018) – En af de mest populære New England boksning udsigter, ubesejret Hartford (CT) lys sværvægter Richard “Skipper Skræk Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOS), vilje overskrift hans tredje show Lørdag nat, Februar 10, på The Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.
I den femte rate af “New Englands fremtid” serie, præsenteret af Rivera Promotions Underholdning (RPE), den 27-årige Rivera møder Kevin “kray 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOS), kæmper ud af Burlington (VT), om den ledige Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England titel i otte-runde main event.
Rivera, der var en 2016 Rocky Marciano turnering mester, tager plads på bænken en sensationel anden runde knockout af 146-kamp veteran Roberto Valenzuela dette tidligere December 9 i Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Jeg glæder mig til at have Richie boksning for UBF New England titel så tidligt i hans pro karriere,”” promotoren Jose Antonio Rivera, den pensionerede 3-tid, 2-division verdensmester. “Dette er tredje gang, vi har haft det privilegium at ham at kæmpe på en af ​​vores kort. Han kæmpede i den vigtigste begivenhed i vores sidste show (Oktober) på DCU Center. Rivera ser bedre og skarpere, hver gang jeg ser ham kamp. Jeg ser store ting kommer til ham. Han har de værktøjer og disciplin en træner kigger efter og en bokser har brug for at blive verdensmester. Himlen er grænsen for Richard og, for nu, Vi er taknemmelige for at spille en lille del at hjælpe med at udvikle karrieren.”
Rivera har med succes markedsført sin Popeye persona under hans unge pro boksning karriere, iført en sømands kasket i ringen med en traditionel Popeye-lignende rør dinglende i munden. “Der er flere grunde til mit kælenavn, 'Skipper Skræk', men da jeg var meget ung,” Rivera forklarede, “Jeg havde unormalt store underarme. Det bare stak med mig gennem årene, når folk henvist til mig i gymnastiksalen, så jeg har kørt med det. Jeg bringer liv tilbage til Hartford med tålmodighed, hele New England, med tålmodighed, udholdenhed og stil. Jeg bor i øjeblikket.”
Selvom han ikke vandt mange store priser eller turneringer som amatør bokser, Rivera fik uvurderlig erfaring boksning mange af de bedste amatører i New England og i nationale begivenheder, samt sparring med folk som tidligere verdensmestre Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Chad Dawson og Joe Smith, Jr. Han lærte også fra tid tilbragt i ringen med tidligere titel udfordrere Israel “snarere” Cardona og John Scully.
“Jeg tog min tid dreje pro, fordi jeg ikke har en støtteordning for at få mig til det næste niveau,” Rivera bemærkede. “Jeg var usikker. Den positive tilbagemeldinger jeg har modtaget fra krigere jeg sparred fodret ind i min tillid. Nu, i kun min sjette pro kamp, Jeg vil hovednavn for tredje gang, og kæmper for min første titel. Jeg kan ikke takke Riveras (Jose og hans søn, A.J.) nok til, hvad de har gjort for mig. De har troet på mig.”
Først, Rivera var noget tilbageholdende med at bekæmpe den mere erfarne Cobb men, efter at gøre nogle forskning, han accepterede udfordringen. “Jeg var lidt nervøs ved første,” han indrømmede. “Nogle var spørgsmålstegn, hvis jeg var klar til at optrappe at bekæmpe ham. Jeg gjorde nogle forskning: han havde ikke en større amatør karriere, eller kæmpede flere seks eller otte runder kampe end mig. Og jeg var den sparringspartner for den første pro at slå ham, Tyron Burris(TKO2 i 2012). Jeg er klar! Jeg er 27 og har brug for en kamp som denne.”
