WORCESTER, Hmota. (Únor 11, 2018) – Undefeated prospect Richard “Pepek Námořník Man” Rivera zakončená Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs ve třetím kole, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “Nová Anglie je Future 5” karta, předložila Rivera Promotions Entertainment, The Palladium ve Worcesteru, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 KO) 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 KO), 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, to ano, 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 je vysvětleno. “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.”
V co-představoval událost, rodné město oblíbená Polda “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.

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 “Sucaro” Pohanský (4-0, 2 KO) floored veteran Bryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-29-2, 6 KO) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. V druhém kole, Pohanský, 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 Jeřáb “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 KO) overcame a nasty cut over his eye to win a hard-fought four-round majority decision over Carlos Marrero, III (0-2), Bridgeport, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

I got into boxing and enjoyed watching Miguel Cotto a Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Nyní, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker nebo 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 — manažer A.J. Galante, Hlava trenér Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi a 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 ve čtvrtém kole.
“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” podporovatel Jose Antonio Rivera poznamenával. “I am proud of Omar and his accomplishments so far. He is a young, throwback fighter with a lot of potential.
