Боксът спаси живота на двудивизионния световен шампион "Ел Гало" Хосе Антонио Ривера

Оставете коментар

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Юни 4, 2020) - Както много боксьори, две разделение световен шампион "El Gallo" Хосе Антонио Ривера кредитира бокса за спасяването на живота му.

„Абсолютно,Ривера се съгласи. „След като майка ми почина, когато аз бях 10 възраст, Отказах се от живота и вземането на решения отразява това: да се мотаете с грешна тълпа, включително членове на бандата, консумация на алкохол на възраст между 10 и 15. Определено вървях в грешната посока.

„Никога не съм мислил, че имам бъдеще, докато не започнах да се бокс. Трудно е да се каже какво бих правил, ако никога не бях боксирал, но между другото живеех, Вероятно вече щях да съм в затвора или мъртъв. "

Роден във Филаделфия, Ривера е живял в Пуерто Рико и Спрингфийлд, MA, преди той да се премести в Уорчестър, MA, където срещна човек, който помогна да промени живота му, Carlos Garcia, който отговаряше за специална програма по бокс в Worcester Boys & Girls Club.

Ривера беше започнал да се боксира на възраст от 14 ½ в мазе с приятеля си, Феликс Лопес.  Беше се влюбил в бокса, след като го гледашеRoberto Duran разстроен„Захар“ Рей Леонард в първата им битка. Младият американец от Пуерто Рико специално използва своя любителски бокс опит, за да се подготви за професионалните редици. Гарсия, който е в Националната зала на славата на златните ръкавици, постави го в мач за начинаещи само след една аматьорска битка, за да изведе Ривера на бързата писта, защото разбираше, че Ривера мечтае да стане световен шампион като професионалист. Ривера завърши с 35-15 любителски запис, подчертано с представяне с бронзов медал на PAL Nationals.

„Никога не съм имал големи аматьорски стремежи, но, разбира се, Исках да спечеля всяка битка, в която се състезавах,- каза Ривера. „Веднъж не се класирах за олимпийските изпитания, моят план беше да стана професионалист. Не знаех доколко аматьорите ще ме подготвят за успешен професионален боксьор. Радвам се, че слушах моите треньори, иначе щях да стана професионалист по-рано, защото щях да се разочаровам от политиката на аматьорите. Мразех да губя, но мразех да губя още повече, когато знаех, че е трябвало да спечеля. След три години заедно (с Гарсия) в аматьорите и натрупване на богат опит от пътуване из цяла Нова Англия, страната и дори воюване в Канада, Видях всички видове стилове и талантливи боксьори, които ми помогнаха като професионалист. Карлос е като бащина фигура за мен и по време на всички наши тренировки и пътувания, той винаги беше в главата ми, изграждайки ме да стана добър боксьор, но и да ми помогне да стана по-добър човек. "

На November 7, 1992, Ривера направи своя професионален дебют, нокаутираФрансиско Мерцедес във втория кръг. Той продължи да спечели първия си 23 професионални пристъпи, включително титлата в полусредна категория на щата Масачузетс през 1995. Първата му професионална загуба беше от ветерана боец ​​от ФиладелфияУили Уайз (20-3-4), който спечели спорно 10-рундово решение за разделяне в казино Foxwoods Resort в Кънектикът. Ривера беше доказал, че е повече от перспектива при първата си загуба, загуба на близко решение (98-95, 94-97, 94-96) на противник, който разстрои мексиканската иконаЖулио Сезар Чавес (102-3-2) само три години по-късно.

Показва същата устойчивост, която остана с Ривера през цялата му кариера, две битки по-късно Ривера спряЖилберто Флорес в два кръга за превземане на Международната боксова организация (IBO) световно първенство в полусредна категория. Ривера удължи новата си серия от победи до седем, преди да губят двубои. Четири битки по-късно, въпреки че, Ривера регистрира първото си изявление победа в 2001, нокаутираФранки Рандал (55-10-1) в 10тата кръг, за да запази своята Северноамериканска боксова асоциация (Също) корона в първата си защита.

Сега популяризиран от легендарния Дон Кинг, Ривера пътува през Атлантическия океан през септември 2003 до Германия, където малко американци успяха да спечелят. Ривера доказа рано, че има предвид бизнес, отпадане преди непобеденМишел Трабант във втория кръг по пътя към спечелване на решение с мнозинство от 12 кръга за свободната Световна боксова асоциация (WBA).  Неговото управление, обаче, не продължи дълго. В първата си защита, Ривера загуби 12-рундово разделено решение у дома в Уорчестър от претендентаLuis Колазо (24-1)

Ривера се повиши с една категория в тегло за следващата си битка, показвайки устойчивостта, която е основна по време на кариерата му за следващата му битка, също у дома, срещу Световния шампион на WBA за юноши в средна категорияАлександро Гарсия (25-1).

В следващата си битка и първа защита на третата си световна титла, Ривера беше спрян за първи път в професионалната си кариера, от нов шампионТравис Симс (24-0), и след това беше нокаутиран отДаниел Сантос (24-0) в осми кръг от техния елиминатор за титлата в средно тегло на WBA за юноши.

Ривера се пенсионира в 2008 само за да се завърне в 2001, след което се оттегли отново, докато се завърна за две битки в Уорчестър, за да завърши професионалната си кариера 50 битки, последното идване на възраст 46.

„Опитът на Хосе в САЩ по бокс го превърна в човек с характер, какъвто е днес, в и извън ринга,"ЗаявиКрис tofflemire, Директор на възпитаниците на САЩ по бокс. „Той пое по-малко пътувания път за световен шампион, и по този начин той показа своята твърдост и постоянство, което го направи чудесен пример за днешните американски боксьори. "

„Винаги съм имал добра работна етика," той обясни. „Когато се преместих в Уорчестър в 16 възраст, Живеех сам: училище, работа, и след това към Момчетата & Клуб за момичета, който да тренира.

“Попай” returns to the South this Saturday in Charlotte, North Carolina

Оставете коментар

ХАРТФОРД, Кон. (Февруари 18, 2019) – Непобеждаван перспектива Ричард “Попай Моряка” Rivera returns to the South this Saturday night (Февруари. 23) in another “stay busy” fight on the “Christy Martin Fight Night” карта, presented by Christy Martin Promotions, at Centerstage@Noda in Charlotte, North Carolina.


През ноември миналата година 30тата, Rivera fought in Charlotte for the first time, knocking out local favorite Joshua Robertson in the sixth round. On Feb. 23 he will face veteran Mexican fighter Jose “Olimpico” Corral (20-23, 12 Нокаута) in a scheduled six-round bout to be contested at a 187-pound catch-weight.

The Puerto Rican-American fighter didn’t have many supporters last time around but, based on his impressive performance, he won some fans over to his side, and he fully intends to add more this trip.

“Fighting there the first time was an interesting experience,” Rivera said. “I had some mixed emotions, but the fans there showed me a lot of love. People came up to me after the fight saying how much they enjoyed watching me fight. It was a good experience for me. I beat up a local fighter, but they want me back, and I’m going there to get the job done again.

“The plan is for me to have more fights this year to increase my ring experience. I feel more confident each fight. All I’m lacking is experience in big fights and that’s coming. The more confident I become in the ring helps me focus better on what I’m doing in there.

“I’ve had a few obstacles along the way, but I love boxing and fighting as ‘Popeye’. I wake up every morning ready to go.”

Rivera (9-0, 8 Нокаута), the reigning Universal Boxing Federation (маточния кръвен поток) All America light heavyweight champion, is part of a trio that formed Hartford Boxing Promotions (HBP) миналата година, which also includes Rivera’s manager/head trainer Тони Уайт and their other partner, Майкъл Тран.

Blanco noted that this fight for Rivera has added importance. “We’re talking to a big promoter about a deal to co-promote Richard,” Blanco explained. “Така, he has to look good February 23RD in Charlotte. He has the right combination of talent and marketability that fans love.

“Going to Charlotte to fight the first time was a good experience. They liked and respected him so much that he’s heading back by popular demand. We really love Christy, to be honest. She has already asked if Richard would fight on a card that she’s promoting in March in Jacksonville, Florida.”

Martin feels the same way about Team Rivera. “He’s an awesome kid,” she added. “He’s talented, a solid pro in the ring, and very charismatic outside the ring. Fans here love him as a fighter and person. I’ve been saying ‘Popeye’ is coming back and fans here are excited.

“And now he’s stepped out of his comfort zone, fighting outside of New England, in front of different crowds, and against fighters with different styles The sky’s the limit for him. I think he’s the real deal.”

Билетите са на цена от $70.00 (ринга) и $35.00 (general admission and available to purchase at the venue.

Вратите отварят в 6 p.m. ET with the first bout scheduled to start at 7 p.m. И.

Всички битки и бойци са обект на промяна.
