Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera Finishes off Kevin Cobbs in 3 with super uppercut

Worcester, Ibi. (Kínní 11, 2018) – Undefeated prospect Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera pari pipa Kevin “The New England bully” Cobbs ninu awọn kẹta yika, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New England ká Future 5” kaadi, gbekalẹ nipasẹ Rivera ni igbega Entertainment, ni Awọn Palladium ni 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, bẹẹni, 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 salaye. “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.”
Ni awọn àjọ-ifihan iṣẹlẹ, hometown ayanfẹ Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Saulu Almeida (0-8-2) fought to a four-round majority draw.
Super middleweight Troy “Omar KO olorin” olorin (5-7-1, 3 KOs), ti Danbury, CT, upset intrastate rival Jose “Won won 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 Seti Basler (0-5) by way of a lop-sided four-round unanimous decision.

Junior welterweight prospect Wilfredo “awọn Sucaro” keferi (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. Ni awọn keji yika, keferi, 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 Derrick “Búburú Ọmọkùnrin” 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), ti Bridgeport, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA light heavyweight Ray “Bazooka” 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 Garcia (7-0, 6 KOs), fighting out of Lynn, MA., remained undefeated but Nathan Schulte (0-5), ti Woburn, MA, 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 “New England ká Future 5”

“New England ká Future 5”
Feb. 10 ni Worcester, MA

Worcester, Ibi. (January 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, Junior welterweight Omar Bordoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10th ni “New England ká Future 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), ni Awọn Palladium ni Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alexander “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. “Lọjọ kan, 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 ati Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Bayi, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker tabi 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 — faili A.J. Galante, ori olukọni Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi ati 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 ninu awọn ti kẹrin yika.
“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” olugbeleke 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.”

  • Chavez was dealt his initial defeat on a 12-round split decision to nemesis Randall on Jan. 29, 1994.

In this setting, the gloves are off and both fighters don their “onkqwe” 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, pẹlu a 3 minute summary of each chapter of this book.
