With the continuous growth in technology and available access to various social media platforms today, enfants (especially those ages 11 à 18 ans) are easily exposed to and influenced by various social pressures, such as but not limited to, hatred, drug availability, and everyday violence.

The City of Framingham, located 20 miles southwest of Boston, dates back to the American Revolution and, peut-être, may be better known as being part of the famed Boston Marathon course. Framingham may never have had a pro boxing show held there, but it doesn’t necessarily mean boxing isn’t popular in the city of nearly 69,000 residents.

“We’ve had amateur boxing shows in Framingham, but this will be the first professional event,” Thomas explained. “Kids here are into boxing even though they may not be as knowledgeable about boxing as elsewhere. If more kids understand what boxing can do to better their lives, boxing would have and will get bigger with more exposure to the sport, and that’s why it’s so important to support this show.”

Framingham’s most notable boxer is 2008 USA Olympic Team alternate, Danny O'Connor, qui a 30-3 (11 KOs) comme un pro. Many Framingham-area boxers now have an opportunity to establish their own names in that market, starting with the March 20e montrer, including unbeaten super featherweight Timmy Ramos (5-0-2, 5 KOs).

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz Hammerin’ his way to medical school

Laisser un commentaire

WORCESTER, Masse. (Janvier 6, 2020) – Undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Champion du monde des poids légers de la jeunesseJamaine «Le technicien» Ortiz (12-0, 6 KOs) isn’t a typical professional boxer whose life entirely revolves in and around the “Sweet Science.”

The 23-year-old Ortiz is also a licensed carpenter with diverse interests ranging from engineering and psychology to philosophy, and his ultimate post-boxing career aspiration is to attend medical school. First, bien que, Ortiz’ goal is to become world champion, which would be a first for a native of Worcester, Massachusetts.

“I was always fascinated by architecture, starting with my mother’s house, and that spun off to engineering,” Ortiz explained. “I wanted to learn how to build to better understand and became a carpenter after graduating from high school. I’m not worried about getting hurt at work. I do work with my hands, but I’m in the union and everything is safe, and I’m very careful.

“Medical school is my dream. I want to help people working with cells, blood and muscle tissues, understanding the body. I’m not sure if I’ll do research or be working with patients, maybe in internal medicine, but not in traditional medicine. I’m interested in natural, holistic medicine, and working for the benefit of people.”

Ortiz, who started boxing at the age of six, will return to the ring in early 2020 pour, most likely, his final WBC Youth World title fight, because this title is for fighters 23 or younger, and Jamaine turns 24 on April 28.

The WBC World Youth title has been a stepping-stone for great champions such asSaul "Canelo" Alvarez, Timothy Bradley,Danny Garcia etLeo Santa Cruz, parmi les plus notables.

“I’m proud to be the WBC World lightweight champion, but I’ll have to give it up in April when I turn 24.,” Ortiz remarked. “I’ll win bigger titles as I get older. This has been good for now, but I’m going on to bigger and better things. I’m confident that I’ll be world champion in 2021 and I want to be a multiple wight-class world champion before I retire.”

Ortiz recently gained even more confidence whenTeofimo Lopez (15-0, 12 KOs) captured the International Boxing Federation (IBF) World lightweight championship, assommant le champion en titreRichard Commey in the second round this past December.

Au 2015 Golden Gloves nationales, Ortiz lost a decision to Lopez in the championship final. “He didn’t do that stuff to me (like he did to Commey),” Ortiz noted. “He didn’t beat me up. I lost a decision, but I showed that I could fight with him. He was nothing like you saw on television (vs. Commey), though. I’ve watched him get better and better.

So is Ortiz and before he swaps his boxing gloves for a stethoscope, he has unfinished business in boxing. Nothing short of capturing a world championship crown will satisfy “The Technician.”

NUTMEG POWER PREVAILS CONNECTICUT PROSPECTS RICHIE RIVERA & ANTHONY LAUREANO REMAIN UNDEFEATED

“NEW ENGLAND EXPLOSION” OFFICIAL RESULTS

SPRINGFIELD, Masse. (Décembre 13, 2019) — Rising Connecticut starsRICHIE “POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN” RIVERA et“ACTION“ ANTHONY LAUREANO both remained undefeated with impressive performance tonight on a solid “New England Explosion” card in front of an enthusiastic crowd at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.

“New England Explosion,” presented byJoe Deguardia STAR BOXE, sponsored by MGM Springfield, aired live in a first for New England Sports Network (NESN), and streamed worldwide (excluding N.E.) surwww.FITE.TV.

Heavy-handed Rivera (maintenant 16-0, 12 KOs) took his power up to the cruiserweight division against “MIGHTY” JOE JONES(maintenant 11-2, 8 KOs), who unexplainably kept his hands very low, as “Popeye” pounded him to the head and body in the main event. Rivera hit Jones with everything but the kitchen sink, in what looked like batting practice at times, although “Popeye” failed to register a stoppage for only the third time in 16 pro fights. .

It was a rough, physical fight that got chippy early with both fighters exchanging trash talk and showboating. Rivera, who hails from Hartford, pressed the action throughout the fight against a defensive Jones, who switched to a peep-a-boo style in the later rounds.

“I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach….toot, siffler! My coach kept telling me to relax but, honnêtement, I was putting on a show. More or less, I was acting,” Rivera talked about the roughhousing. “He was tough. My team said to box. The plan wasn’t to go for a knockout. I threw some big shots just to let him know.

“I’m so happy to have had my seventh fight this year. I’ve been active and I’m undefeated. I try to put on a show for the fans and be a role model.”

En cas de co-principal, Laureano (maintenant 13-0, 4 KOs), une 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion from nearby East Hartford, CT., defeated Texas super lightweightANGEL “AZTEC WARRIOR” HERNANDEZ (17-14-2, 11 KOs) in a toe-to-toe battle from the opening . This TV-friendly fight could have been fought in a proverbial phone booth. Laureano, comme d'habitude, was relentless in his attack, systematically breaking down his opponent with strong body work of his own, as well as seemingly landing uppercuts and left hooks at will.

Laureano took control in the second and never let up against a game Hernandez, qui, like Laureano, never stopped throwing punches. Eventually, Laureano won an 8-round unanimous decision in a wildly entertaining, highly competitive clash.

“It was beautiful,” Laureano commented. “I like wars, my trainers don’t. I let my emotions take over. It was a beautiful fight, bien que, all action and the people loved it. But I fought his fight. I did adapt and showed some of my boxing ability at some points.

“He’s experienced and came in confident. He kept coming; il est difficile. This will build me into a better fighter. I did a lot of good things. The goal is to learn from every fight, Je ferai, and we’ll go back to the drawing board.”

Danbury, CT super lightweightOMAR “THE BEAST” BORDOY (maintenant 10-1, 3 KOs) opened the NESN broadcast with a masterful display of boxing, winning all eight rounds on each of the three judges’ scorecards for an 8-round unanimous decision against late replacementDIEUMERCI ”ELEPHANT MAN” NZAU (maintenant 11-11, 8 KOs). 

Bordoy effectively and consistently beat Nzau to the punch, moved well inside the ropes, and never put himself in dire straits. “It felt good,” Bordoy said after the fight. “The game plan was to out-box him, use my job, and not take any unnecessary chances. I followed the game plan and came out with an easy victory.

“I knew he had some power and he caught me with a good punch early. I watched some tape of him and listened to my trainers. I want to get back in the ring as soon as possible.”

In a battle of welterweight southpaws, favori ville nataleDERRICK “BAD BOY” WHITLEY II (6-1-1) suffered a cut over his right eye from an accidental headbutt byJERMAINE CORLEY (3-8, 1 KO) during the second round. The ringside physician halted the action after two rounds and the fight, by rule, was a “no decision.”

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la soirée, Hartford welterweight prospectJEFFREY TORRES(maintenant 6-0, 4 KOs) gardé son record invaincu intacte, pitching a shutout for a 6-round unanimous decision over Brockton, MA journeymanANTONIO CHAVES FERNANDEZ(maintenant 9-40-4, 3 KOs).   Torres out-boxed Fernandez, who was buzzed several times, du début à la fin.

Lourds légers brésilienneLEANDRO “BUSCAPE” SILVA (2-3, 1 KO) ruined the homecoming for local fighterANGEL ‘ THE BLACK RICAN” VAZQUEZ (0-2) Dans le combat de walk-out, Silva trapped Vazquez on the ropes in the fourth round. Vazquez suffered a standing eight count, but the referee halted the action, and awarded Silva a win by technical knockout.

“NEW ENGLAND EXPLOSION”

LIVE ON NESN FROM MASSMUTUAL CENTER IN SPRINGFIELD, MA

SPONSORED BY MGM SPRINGFIELD

BOSTON (Décembre 9, 2019) — Unlike most boxing prospects, perspective légèreOMAR “THE BEAST” BORDOY (9-1, 3 KOs) is always willing to take risks, even fighting undefeated opponents, instead of simply padding his record.

Bordoy, fighting out of Danbury, CT, meets undefeated Irish sensation“SLICK” VICTOR RABEI (8-0, 2 KOs) en décembre 13 in an 8-round bout on a stacked “New England Explosion” card, au MassMutual Center de Springfield, Massachusetts.

“New England Explosion,” presented byJoe Deguardia STAR BOXE and sponsored by MGM Springfield, will air live from Mass MutualCenter in a first for New England Sports Network (NESN), à partir de 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. As the home of the Boston Bruins and Boston Red Sox, NESN is available nationally on a sports subscription basis.

“I fought an undefeated fighter before and it was cool to give him (3-0 Terell Bostic) sa première défaite,” the 24-year-old Bordoy said. “An undefeated record could be padded. Rabei is a good fighter and I expect a very good fight. He’s a good fighter who is good defensively. He’ll want to be fighting on the outside because he’s 5’ 9” and I’m 5’ 5”. But he’s coming down in weight and we’re fighting at my natural fighting weight (135 lbs.)  I’ve fought taller opponents before. It looks like he has a little power. We’re both stepping up.

“I’m excited to be fighting on live television for the first time. I’m a kid who came from nothing and now I’m fighting on TV. I’ve fought in pre-recorded fights before, but this will be my first on live television. It makes everything even more exciting. I’m glad to be fighting on this NESN platform.”

Bordoy has won two in a row since losing a disputed 6-round split decision last April to Romain Tomas (7-2). 

“I didn’t get into boxing to go undefeated,” remarked Bordoy, who will be fighting in his first scheduled 8-rounder. “Only a few fighters have ever retired undefeated. A loss doesn’t bother most greats. It’s part of my developmental stage. I’d rather suffer a loss early in my career than later. I certainly don’t feel like a defeated fighter going into this fight. I learned a lot about myself and what to do better from that loss.”

Cutting weight for this fight, Bordoy didn’t really enjoy Thanksgiving. In fact, he ate alone because it was too difficult dieting and eating with others. So, he had brown rice and baked chicken.

"Ouais,” he added. “I didn’t get to eat much. I’m going to splurge this fight. And I’ll get an early Christmas present when my hand is raised at the end of the fight.”

BORDOY OPEN WORKOUT DEC. 10 IN DANBURY, CT.

Bordoy will hold an open workout Tuesday, Décembre. 10, entre 6:30-8:30 p.m. ET at Danbury Champs Gym in Danbury, CT to promote his Dec. 13e fight. Dambury Champs Gym is located at 128 Et. Liberty St., Danbury, CT. The public is welcome.

boxe Best Kept Secret Invaincu WBC des jeunes du monde champion des poids légers Jamaine “Le technicien” Ortiz

Laisser un commentaire
WORCESTER, Masse. (Novembre 5, 2019) – Invaincu World Boxing Mondiale de la Jeunesse champion des poids légers Jamaine “Le technicien” Ortiz (12-0, 6 KOs) est, peut-être, la meilleure perspective dans le monde qui la plupart des fans de boxe ne savent pas.

Une grande partie du problème, cependant, est que le Ortiz-23 ans, né et a grandi dans la ville de combat de Worcester, MA, n'aspirait à être un boxeur professionnel, en dépit d'une carrière amateur décorée.

Il a commencé la boxe quand il avait six ans, grâce à National Hall Golden Gloves de renommée entraîneur Carlos Garcia, qui a dirigé le programme de boxe Boys Worcester & Girls Club près de 40 ans.

Le Ortiz naturellement doué compilé un remarquable 100-14 record amateur, mis en évidence par une médaille d'argent au 2015 Golden Gloves tournoi national, dans lequel il a perdu dans la finale du championnat de champion du monde futur professionnel Joselito Lopez, ainsi dos à dos des médailles d'or à la Nouvelle-Angleterre Tournoi des Champions 2015 & 2016.

Témoignage Ortiz’ potentiel prometteur était son match amateur finale, qui était une victoire solide contre Abraham “Super” Nova, qui est 17-0 (13 KOs) comme un professionnel, ainsi que le champion de boxe Association nord-américaine, et évalués par l'Association mondiale de boxe (WBA) comme le n. 8 super-plumes dans le monde.

“En ce pro n'a pas été mon objectif final,” boxeur consommé Ortiz dit. “Il était vraiment pas dans mon esprit. Je me suis concentré sur les tournois régionaux et nationaux. J'ai toujours pensé que je gagnerais une médaille d'or olympique et devenir pro. Je voudrais avoir été mieux préparé à devenir pro.

“Les gens qui me connaissent ne pas même se rendre compte que je l'avais tourné pro. Il a fallu un certain temps avant ajusté, mais je jamais vraiment transitioned. D'autres avaient un plan de jeu; Je ne l'ai pas la moindre idée, mais bientôt réalisé des trophées que je gagnais dans les amateurs ne vont pas payer les factures. La plupart de mes fans sont aujourd'hui d'autres combattants et les entraîneurs.”

Lorsque son rêve olympique a pris fin, après avoir perdu en demi-finale des essais olympiques, c'est quand son promoteur, Jimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment et des Sports / CES), et co-conseiller, homme d'affaires Providence Richard Shappy se sont impliqués dans Ortiz’ carrière pro. Ils ont investi beaucoup de temps, l'argent et de l'énergie, croire en Ortiz et son énorme potentiel.

“Pendant des années,” a expliqué Shappy, qui conseille Ortiz avec Eddie Imondi,” Je répétais Jimmy (Burchfield) que je me suis intéressé à s'impliquer avec un boxeur, mais qu'il devait être la bonne. Un jour Jimmy appelé à dire (Ortiz) est celui. Je sautai à bord. Il m'a convaincu que Jamaine est un futur champion du monde. Nous avons sauté dans de son premier combat, au rez-de-chaussée, et nous pensons qu'il va être champion du monde.”

Burchfield a promu les goûts de cinq fois champion du monde Vinny Paz, U.S.. OlympienJason Estrada, Ray Oliveira, Gary Balletto, Peter Manfredo, Jr. et bien d'autres au cours de ses 25 années et plus dans l'industrie de boxe. “Jamaine est le meilleur que je l'ai promu depuis Vinny Paz,” Burchfield selon sans hésitation. “Il est l'une des meilleures perspectives dans le monde d'aujourd'hui et un jour, il sera champion du monde. Certains disent qu'il a la bonne mine deOscar de la Hoya; d'autres se sentent son style est comme celui de ‘Sucre’ Ray Leonard.”

Quand son rêve olympique a pris fin sans cérémonie, il a décidé de devenir pro en 2016, remportant ses débuts pro quand Josh Parker retiré après un tour. Le point culminant de sa jeune carrière pro à ce jour a été remporté une décision unanime de huit rondes ce passé Février de précédemment invaincu (10-0) Ricardo Quiroz pour capturer le titre vacant léger du monde WBC des jeunes, une fois fièrement porté la même ceinture par, ironiquement, Lopez susmentionné, aussi bien que Juan Diaz et Daniel Estrada.

CES-promus combattants qui ont été passés champions du monde WBC des jeunes comprennent trois fois champion du monde “Mal” Tchad Dawson et des poids lourds polonais Maruisz Wach.

Dans son dernier combat et première défense de titre mondial WBC des jeunes en Août dernier, Ortiz a remporté une décision unanime dominant huit rondes sur 8-1-1 Romain Couture, tangue un jeu blanc en remportant chaque tour sur les trois juges’ tableaux de bord.

Ortiz’ le temps d'étoiles dans l'anneau vient. Il est un diamant à l'état brut; jeune, talentueux et avec la tête énorme. Il a une équipe solide derrière lui, y compris l'entraîneur-chef Rocky Gonzalez et Garcia, qui travaille toujours dans son coin

Ortiz’ fan-base finira par se développer et grandir rapidement que les fans de plus en plus la boxe découvrir ce boxeur doué comme il monte au sommet de la montagne de la boxe.
2020 promet d'être la “Année du technicien,” Jamaine Ortiz.

Jose Antonio Rivera Dedicates “Quest For 50” to Worcester Boys & Girls club

Laisser un commentaire

(L-R) – Jose Antonio Rivera, current WBC Youth super lightweight champion Jermaine Ortiz
(11-0, 6 KOs) and Carlos Garcia


WORCESTER, MASS (Mai 16, 2019) – Trois fois, champion du monde de deux-division “Le Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera is dedicating his 50e combat pro, the last in his hometown of Worcester, to the Boys & Girls Club in Worcester, Massachusetts. A portion of the proceeds from “Quest For 50,” présenté par Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP) et Rivera Promotions Divertissement, will benefit the Boys & Girls club.

The 46-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 KOs) faces former WFC champion Travis “Sweet Feet” Scott (19-5, 5 KOs), of Baton Rouge, Louisiane, in the eight-round main event at The Palladium in Worcester.

Rivera, a full-time court officer in Worcester, has had a special relationship for more than 30 years with the Worcester Boys & Girls Club and its director of boxing, Carlos Garcia, qui est “The Godfather of Worcester Boxing.”

Rivera moved to Worcester from Springfield 30 il y a des années à l'âge de 16 to pursue a boxing career, which included being coached by Garcia. Rivera had siblings and other relatives living in Worcester and after living with an aunt for a month, Jose moved into an apartment with another boxer, four-time national amateur champion Bobby Harris.

“The Worcester Boys & Girls Club helped me stay off the streets so I could focus on my dream of becoming world champion,” Rivera remembered. “It was a place for me and so many others to go and be safe. Des gamins, not just boxers, can be kids there, where they don’t have to worry about what’s happening in the streets.

“Carlos has played a tremendous part of my life and so many others, influencing us not only to become good boxers, but to be good people in the community. That was always so important to him and he emphasized being a good person. Je ai fait de mon mieux. He was always fair across the board and gave us all opportunities. He took a liking to me and brags that he never had to throw me out of the Boys & Girls club. I graduated from high school and went after my dream in 1992 when I turned pro. Carlos is big in amateur boxing, but not so much with pros, because he doesn’t have the time to train pros. I made sure that when turned pro, dure, that he was part of my team. And he’s still a big part of my team and life.”

The number of Worcester youths Garcia has had a positive effect on, life-changing in many respects, is countless. One of those many people is Jose’s longtime friend and his current head trainer, Fitzgerald Sean, who retired as a boxer in 2001 avec un 29-2-2 enregistrement pro. “Fitzy” remembers the fir time he read the sign over the door in the gym at the Boys & Girls club: “Better to seat than bleed.”

Fitzy lived with his father when his parents divorced and at the age of 10, his father sent him to the Boys & Girls Club to attend an after-school program. “Fitzy” said he had to earn his way into Garcia’s good graces.

“Carlos didn’t talk to me for the first 5-6 semaines,” Fitzgerald explained. “Puis, he put me in the ring as a sparring partner, and I was badly beaten. I had a bloody nose and black eye, but the next day I came back, Et le reste est de l'histoire. Carlos was a great mentor, rough at times, but always there for you. I remember seeing the boxing team jackets. It intrigued me. When I got my jacket and started wearing it, I got respect from everybody, and then I knew that I belonged. I learned a lot about life at the Boys & Girls club, being with there with people from different generations and cultures. I met many friends there who I never would have met.

“The Boys & Girls Club is safe. I was from a tough area in Worcester. My father worked and it was easy to get in trouble with no supervision. Carlos stayed on top of me to graduate from school and if I was home sick, he come buy with chicken soup to make sure I was alright. My father was in my life big-time, but I joke that I had two moms growing up, my father and Carlos. Going to the Boys & Girls Club was something to look forward to every day.

“Carlos always taught us to never make the mistakes he did in life. He wanted us to go to school, stay out of trouble, and be a good person. He’s helped so many people over the years. Look around Worcester and you’ll see them: police and court officers, fire fighters, and so many others. The Boys & Girls Club was a great experience for me and so many other kids from Worcester.”


(L-R) – Ray Semidei, Carlos Garcia and Jose Antonio Rivera

Garcia has been the director of boxing at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club since 1982. Two year ago, Garcia was inductred into the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame.

“Never in his life has Jose even raised his voice to me,” Garcia commented. “He treats me like his father and he’s like one of my sons. There aren’t not too many guys like him and he’s so well respected in the community. He came to Worcester from Springfield to train with ne and stayed with me. Jose helps everyone and now he’s promoting to help local boxers.

“We’re at the Boys & Girls Club to and that’s the way it really is here. It’s so good to see so many in this community who’ve gone through our boxing program and are good people, good husbands, good parents. It makes me feel so proud. ‘Fitzy’ was a hyper kid. He’s a real gentleman who now does so much for kids here. I’ve never had a signed contract with any of the pro boxers I’ve worked with because I trust them.”
