WORCESTER, Misa. (Veljača 11, 2018) – Neporažena perspektiva Richard “Popeye mornar čovjek” Rivera završio Kevin “New England Bully” Cobbs U trećem kolu, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New England Budućnost 5” kartica, predstavio Rivera promocije Zabava, u The Palladium u Worcester, Massachusetts.

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, da, 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 objasnio. “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.”
U suradnji opremljenog događaja, rodni omiljena Policajac “BH3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Šaul Almeida (0-8-2) fought to a four-round majority draw.
Super middleweight Troja “Omar KO umjetnik” umjetnik (5-7-1, 3 Kos), od Danbury, CT, upset intrastate rival Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-2, 3 Kos), of Hartford, winning a six-round majority decision.
Danbury, CT junior welterweight Omar Bordoy, 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” paganski (4-0, 2 Kos) floored veteran Bryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-29-2, 6 Kos) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. U drugom krugu, paganski, 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 Dizalica “Loš dečko” 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 Kos) overcame a nasty cut over his eye to win a hard-fought four-round majority decision over Carlos Marrero, III (0-2), od Bridgeport, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA light heavyweight Zraka “Bazuka” 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.

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “New England Budućnost 5”

Ostavite komentar
“New England Budućnost 5”
Veljače. 10 u Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Misa. (Siječanj 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, junior velter Omar Bordoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10th na “New England Budućnost 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), u The Palladium u Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Aleksandar “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), in a four-round bout. “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. “Jedan dan, 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 a Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Sada, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker ili 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 — upravitelj A.J. Galante, Glava trener 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 U četvrtom kolu.
“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” organizator 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, neporažen Hartford (CT) light heavyweight Richard “Popeye mornar čovjek” Rivera (5-0, 4 Kos) poprima Kevin “New England Bully” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Kos), fighting out of South Boston (MA), za upražnjeno Universal Boxing federacije (UBF) New England naslov u osam okruglom glavni događaj.

Više, Chavez vs. Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker, vs.Frankie Randall II and vs. Meldrick Taylor II On “Throwback Thursdays” This Month

 

NEW YORK (Srpanj 7, 2016) – Widely acknowledged as the preeminent Mexican-born fighter in history and one of the greatest prizefighters of all time, Julio Cesar Chavez will be honored as Showtime Sport® airs classic Chavez fights in continuation of its year-long celebration of 30 years of SHOWTIME PRVENSTVO Boks.

All four fights will air Thursdays at 10 poslije podne. I/PT o Showtime EXTREME (full schedule below).

 

Godinama, the revered ring legend was considered the world’s best pound-for-pound fighter. In an amazing 25-year-career (1980-2005), Chavez fought 115 puta (107-6-2 s 88 miševa). At the highest level, he competed in four weight classes – 130 funti za 147 pounds – and was a six-time world champion in three divisions.

 

He holds records for the most world title successful defenses (27), most title fight victories (31), most title fights (37) and the second-most title defenses won by nokaut (21, nakon Joe Louis s 23). Chavez was 31-4-2 s 21 KOs in world title fights. A multiple Fighter godine pobjednik, Chavez was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.

 

The fights will air on “Throwback Četvrtak” during the month of July at 10 poslije podne. I/PT o Showtime EXTREME® and are available on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®, SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and via the network’s online streaming service.

“Throwback Četvrtak” Tidbits

  • WBC super featherweight champion Chavez (81-0) and his WBO counterpart, Camacho, fought on Sept. 12, 1992, U Las Vegasu. JCC turned back a determined bid by “Macho” to take a unanimous 12-round decision.

 

  • Chavez had an 87-fight winning streak end when he and WBC welterweight champion Whitaker fought to a highly controversial 12-round majority draw in Sept. 10, 1993, at the Alamodome in San Antonio. One judge scored it for “Sweet Pea” by 115-113; the others had it 115-115.

 

  • Chavez was dealt his initial defeat on a 12-round split decision to nemesis Randall on Jan. 29, 1994. In the rematch the following Svibanj 7, Chavez won a razor-thin, split eight-round technical decision after the fight was stopped because of a large cut over Chavez’ eyebrow. Chavez and Randall would fight a third time, with Chavez taking the rubber match on a clear, unanimous 10-round decision on May 22, 2004.

 

  • Chavez went 2-0 against Taylor, winning by eighth-round knockout in a rematch on Sept. 17, 1994. In their initial fight four-and-a-half years earlier, Chavez rallied to win by 12th-round stoppage.

In this setting, the gloves are off and both fighters don their “pisac” 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.”

Clark will have a video blog on the Everlast website beginning July 6th, s 3 minute summary of each chapter of this book.
