WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Φεβρουάριος 11, 2018) – αήττητη προοπτική Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Ριβέρα τελείωσε off Kevin “Η Νέα Αγγλία Bully” Cobbs στον τρίτο γύρο, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “Μελλοντικές 5 της Νέας Αγγλίας” κάρτα, που υποβλήθηκε από Ριβέρα Προσφορές Ψυχαγωγία, στο The Palladium στο Worcester, Μασαχουσέτη.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 KOs) 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 KOs), 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, ναι μεν, 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 εξήγησε. “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.”
Στο συν-χαρακτηρισμένη εκδήλωση, πατρίδα αγαπημένη Άγγλος αστυφύλακας “ΒΗ3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Σαούλ Almeida (0-8-2) fought to a four-round majority draw.
Super middleweight Troy “Omar KO καλλιτέχνης” καλλιτέχνης (5-7-1, 3 KOs), της Danbury, CT, upset intrastate rival Χοσέ “Rated R” Ριβέρα (4-2, 3 KOs), of Hartford, winning a six-round majority decision.
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 “η Sucaro” Ειδωλολατρικός (4-0, 2 KOs) floored veteran Bryan “The Brick” Αβραάμ (6-29-2, 6 KOs) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. Στο δεύτερο γύρο, Ειδωλολατρικός, of Southbridge, MA., drilled Abraham who went flying across the ring and into the ropes as referee Jackie Morrell halted the bout.

Σπρίνγκφιλντ, MA junior middleweight Γερανός “Κακο αγορι” 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” Ριβέρα (4-3, 1 KOs) overcame a nasty cut over his eye to win a hard-fought four-round majority decision over Carlos Marrero, III (0-2), του Μπρίτζπορτ, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA light heavyweight Ακτίνα “Μπαζούκα” Graceski (5-0-1, 3 KOs) and International Muay Thai fighter, Harford’s pro boxing debuting Pawel Banasiak (0-1-0), fought to a four-round draw in an entertaining brawl.

Puerto Rican super middleweight Jelame Γκαρσία (7-0, 6 KOs), fighting out of Lynn, MA., remained undefeated but Nathan Schulte (0-5), του Woburn, ΜΑ, extended him the full distance for first time as a pro en route to a four-round unanimous decision.

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “Μελλοντικές 5 της Νέας Αγγλίας”

“Μελλοντικές 5 της Νέας Αγγλίας”
Φεβρουάριος. 10 στο Worcester, ΜΑ

WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Ιανουάριος 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, κατώτερο welterweight Omar Borðoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10ου στο “Μελλοντικές 5 της Νέας Αγγλίας”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), στο The Palladium στο Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Κονέκτικατ, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Αλέξανδρος “El Bravo” Ακροθηλεία δαντέλλας (2-4-1), σε μια τέσσερις-στρογγυλή περίοδο. “My opponent is tough, and he always comes to fight,” Bordoy said. “He keeps coming forward and that’s going to make for an exciting fight.”
The 22-year-old Bordoy is the typical example of a volatile teenager who found his way in boxing. He was a high school football player who started boxing at the age of 17. Bordoy had an abbreviated amateur career, highlighted by his winning performance at the New England Golden Gloves as a novice boxer.
“I was a bad hot head as a kid,” Bordoy admitted. “Μια μερα, my cousin Edgardo, invited me to his gym after football practice and he beat me up. I was knocked down a few notches. I got into boxing and enjoyed watching Miguel Cotto και Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Τώρα, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker ή 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 — διευθυντής Α.Ι. Galante, επικεφαλής εκπαιδευτής Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi και 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 Αβραάμ στον τέταρτο γύρο.
“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” υποστηρικτής Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “I am proud of Omar and his accomplishments so far. He is a young, throwback fighter with a lot of potential. I see big things in his future and I am glad to see he is being guided in the right direction by his team.”
In the eight-round main event, αήττητο Χάρτφορντ (CT) ελαφρύ βαρέων βαρών Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Ριβέρα (5-0, 4 KOs) παίρνει Kevin “Η Νέα Αγγλία Bully” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOs), fighting out of South Boston (ΜΑ), για την κενή Οικουμενική Ομοσπονδία Πυγμαχίας (UBF) Νέα Αγγλία τίτλος στο κύριο γεγονός οκτώ-στρογγυλό.

Ντάλας, Τέξας………. Forbes 30 Under 30 (Αθλητισμός) entrepreneur, author, and professional athlete representative Adrian Clark has announced the second book of his guide series, με τίτλο, Protect Yourself at All Times: A Guide for Professional Boxers.

In unprecedented fashion, Clark delivers this blueprint for professional boxers with 12 γύρους (chapters) of concise recommendations to help boxers empower themselves and protect their careers. Also included are testimonials from more than 40 current and retired fighters about their experiences in the business.

“The book is just the beginning of what will become a movement to protect professional boxers outside the ring,” Είπε Clark, who began representing fighters at 23 ετών. “It is well overdue for someone to lead the charge and educate the fighters on the business side of things. Every fighter, and everyone closely connected to a fighter, should read this book.”

As a fighter advocate as well as a manager, Clark recently released the “Boxer-Manager Agreement,” a standard, legal document for boxers to contract the services of their manager or adviser. The ‘Boxer Manager Agreement’ can be downloaded on the AC Sports Management, LLC, δικτυακός τόπος,www.ACsportsm.com.

To introduce the book, International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee and four division world champion Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker and two-division world champion James “Σύντροφος” McGirt will pair up for a third time. In this setting, the gloves are off and both fighters don their “συγγραφέας” hat to tag-team the foreword for Clark’s book.

“Adrian’s heart is where it’s needed,” McGirt said. “Everyone says they are looking out for professional boxers, but he is showing (by example) that he really looks out for the fighters. Adrian and this book are great for the sport of boxing and for the athletes.”

Protect Yourself at All Times: A Guide for Professional Boxers will be endorsed by Everlast; the leading brand in Boxing for protective gear for fighters inside and outside of the ring. Clark will have a video blog on the Everlast website beginning July 6th, με 3 minute summary of each chapter of this book.

“This book offers invaluable insights into the sport of boxing. Clark has shed light in grey space that exists in boxing and has effectively empowered professionals and amateurs through this important piece of work.” (Chris Beadon, Sports Marketing Manager at Everlast)

Books will be available Αύγουστος 14, 2016 at Barnes & Noble stores and for order at Amazon and Everlast.com. Nook and Kindle versions of the book will also be available.

Adrian Clark, a graduate of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, was named to Forbes’ annual “30 Under 30 (Αθλητισμός)” για 2016. He resides in Dallas and can be contacted at Adrian@ACsportsm.com
