The people are coming to pay money and they are going to get what they paid for. Even in my last fight, people got what they paid for. They came to see action and to see somebody come forward. They don’t want to see nobody dancing around. I’m not saying that style is bad, I can do it too, but people like two guys who come forward and want to fight. I’m that fighter. I’m that fighter that always wants to fight.”

 

 

 

This bout against Rodriguez will mark the third time in his career that Laureano is fighting at Mohegan Sun.

 

 

 

When asked about the venue, this is what Laureano had to say, “I love Mohegan…Mohegan is my home. There is no place like it. I love the ring, everything is just so beautiful. The atmosphere, the crowd, my hometown crowd is there, and when they’re there it’s loud…Mohegan is my home, walang duda. The casino treats me good, and when I go there I feel this is where I belong.

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

AGUASCALIENTES, MX (Pebrero 19, 2018) – Nakalipas na ito Sabado, sa Don Haskins Center sa El Paso, TX, Sugar Mga Promosyon light-heavyweight prospect, Humberto “Tito” Velazco (19-1-1, 14 Kos), scored the knockout of the night, laban sa Thomas “Panalo” Williams Jr. (20-4, 14 Kos).
Velazco, who hails from Aguascalientes, Mehiko, 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 markahan.
“It was a great feeling to get a knockout in my first fight in the united states,” said Humberto Velazco, na ito ay pinamamahalaan ng 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, Alam ko siya ay nasaktan, 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 at 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,” nabanggit 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, Mehiko.

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: “Ito ay isang malaking pagkakataon para sa akin. 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. Huwag magpikit, 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. Manalo, 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 sa loob ng dalawang taon kapag nakuha ko ang tawag (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 Pagan: “Ako ay 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 10ika. This will be my first fight on a Rivera Promotions card, but I’m familiar with most of the fighters on this card.”

WORCESTER, Masa. (Enero 8, 2018) – Isa sa mga pinaka-popular na New England boxing prospects, undefeated Hartford (CT) ilaw matimbang Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 Kos), kalooban headline kanyang ikatlong show Sabado gabi, Pebrero 10, sa The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Sa ika-limang grupo ng paninda ng “New England Hinaharap” serye, iniharap sa pamamagitan Rivera Promosyon Libangan (RPE), 27-taon gulang Rivera nakakatugon Kevin “KRAY 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Kos), aaway out sa Burlington (VT), para sa bakanteng Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England pamagat sa walong-ikot pangunahing kaganapan.
Rivera, na naging isang 2016 Rocky Marciano Tournament kampeon, ay darating off ang isang kahindik-hindik na second-round knockout kay 146-away beterano Roberto Valenzuela ito nakaraang Disyembre 9 sa Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Ako ay nasasabik na magkaroon Richie boxing para sa pamagat UBF New England maaga sa kanyang pro career,”” sinabi tagataguyod Jose Antonio Rivera, ang retiradong 3-time, 2-division world champion. “Ito ang ikatlong pagkakataon na nagkaroon kami ng pribilehiyo sa kanya aaway sa isa sa aming mga card. Nakipaglaban siya sa main event ng aming huling palabas (Oktubre) sa DCU Center. Rivera ay mukhang mas mahusay at mas matalas sa tuwing pinapanood ko sa kanya away. nakikita ko ang malaking bagay na dumarating para sa kanya. Siya ay may mga tool at disiplina ng isang trainer mukhang para sa at isang boksingero pangangailangan upang maging mundo kampeon. Ang langit ay ang limitasyon para sa Richard at, sa ngayon, kami ay nagpapasalamat upang i-play ang isang maliit na bahagi upang makatulong na bumuo ng kanyang propesyonal na karera.”
Rivera ay matagumpay na marketed kanyang Popeye persona sa panahon ng kanyang kabataan pro boxing career, suot cap ng isang sundalo sa ring may tradisyonal Popeye-tulad ng pipe nakalawit sa kanyang bibig. “May ilang mga kadahilanan para sa aking mga palayaw, 'Popeye', ngunit kapag ako ay napakabata,” Rivera ipinaliwanag, “Ako had abnormally malaking forearms. Ito lang natigil sa akin sa pamamagitan ng mga taon, kapag mga tao na isinangguni sa akin sa gym, kaya ko na tumakbo sa mga ito. Ako nagdadala ng buhay pabalik sa Hartford may pasensya, sa buong New England, may pasensya, tiyaga at estilo. nakatira ako sa sandaling ito.”
Kahit hindi niya mapanalunan maraming pangunahing mga parangal o paligsahan bilang isang amateur boxer, Rivera nagkamit ng walang kasinghalaga karanasan boxing marami sa mga pinakamahusay amateurs sa New England at sa pambansang kaganapan, pati na rin ang sparring sa mga gusto ng mga dating kampeon mundo Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Chad Dawson at Joe Smith, JR. Siya din natutunan mula sa oras na ginugol sa ang ring sa dating title challengers Israel “sa halip” Cardona at John scully.
“kinuha ko ang aking oras ng pag-on pro dahil hindi ko magkaroon ng isang sistema ng suporta upang makakuha ng sa akin sa susunod na antas,” Rivera nabanggit. “Ako ay hindi secure. Ang positibong feedback ko natanggap mula fighters ko sparred fed sa aking confidence. Ngayon, in lamang ang aking ika-anim na pro paglaban, Ako ang mangunguna para sa pangatlong beses, at pakikipaglaban para sa aking unang pamagat. Hindi ko salamat sa Riveras (Jose at ang kanyang anak na lalaki, A.J.) sapat na para sa kung ano ang kanilang nagawa para sa akin. Sila na naniniwala sa akin.”
Sa simula, Rivera ay medyo nag-aatubili upang labanan ang higit pang mga karanasan Cobb ngunit, pagkatapos ng paggawa ng ilang mga pananaliksik, Tinanggap niya ang hamon. “Ako ay isang maliit na kinakabahan sa unang,” siya inamin. “Ang ilan ay pagtatanong kung ako ay handa sa hakbang up upang labanan sa kanya. Ako did ang ilang mga pananaliksik: hindi niya magkaroon ng isang mas malaki amateur career, o nakipaglaban higit anim o walong rounds fights kaysa sa akin. At ako ang sparring partner para sa unang pro upang talunin siya, Tyron Burris(TKO2 in 2012). Handa na akong! Ako ay 27 at kailangan ng away tulad nito.”
