Inaugural “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας” series event in Worcester
WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Ιανουάριος 11, 2017) – Fast rising featherweight prospect Ίρβιν Γκονζάλες (4-0, 4 KOs) will continue Worcester’s rich boxing tradition Πέμπτηνύχτα, Ιανουάριος 19, headlining the inaugural “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας” series event against Mexican invader Ισραήλ “Tigre” Rojas (9-14, 3 KOs), at the Worcester Palladium.

Worcester’s boxing tradition started close to a century ago with Canadian import Lou Brouillard, a two-division world champion and Hall of Famer, 1928 Χάλκινος Ολυμπιονίκης Leo Sawicki, and more recently, μεταξύ άλλων, pro and amateur standouts such as multiple national amateur champion Bobby Harris, Sean “The Irish Express” Sean Fitzgerald και Edwin Rodriguez.
Arguably the greatest Worcester fighter in the past 50 years is three-time, δύο-τμήματος παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Jose Antonio “Το Gallo” Ριβέρα, who is promoting “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας” with his son, Anthonee. “I have seen Irvin train and fight since he was in the Junior Olympics,” Rivera said. “I am very proud of him because he was able to discover on his own that he was getting in his own way. He was always a talented fighter but, at times in the ring, he was inconsistent and it cost him a few fights. As he got older, he boxed more talented boxers and looked good against them. He started believing in himself more and it showed in his training. His abilities and confidence grew and that got him all the way to the Olympic Trials. I feel he has the skills to become world champion in the future. The sky is the limit for this young man and I am proud to have him fighting on our show.”
Γκονζάλες, ένα 2015 Νέας Αγγλίας Golden Gloves πρωταθλητής, will be headlining his first show in his first scheduled six-round bout. “Fighting in my hometown in the main event means a lot to me because,” Gonzalez admitted. “I’ve grown up in this city, fighting my whole life, and of people who’ve supported me will be watching me fight for the first time as a pro. Είμαι ενθουσιασμένος. I’m comfortable fighting here in Worcester and I want to showcase the boxing talent we have in Worcester.”
Gonzalez qualified for the 2016 Olympic Trials but he was eliminated, not due to a loss in the ring, for missing weight. He decided not to wait four years for another Olympic shot, turning pro this past March with a first-round stoppage of Gilvan Santos at Foxwoods Resort Casino. In four pro fights to date, Gonzalez has four knockouts and only one was extended into the second round.
“I was always told that I had a pro boxing style,” the well-spoken, handsome Gonzalez continued, “but we didn’t immediately decide to turn pro until the time was right. I had some stoppages as an amateur but, ως επαγγελματίας, I’ve been going more to the body. I do have heavy hands. I don’t go into a fight looking for a knockout. I just let ’em come but I’ve prepared to go six rounds if needed for this fight. I’ve been sparring eight rounds with different guys coming in fresh.”
In addition to being a prize fighter, the 20-year-old Gonzalez works at a bank and he also owns and operates New England Boxing gym with his father, former boxer Ίρβιν Γκονζάλες, where the youngster serves as a personal trainer.

49-year-old pro boxer “Ιρλανδικός” Chuck Shearns Hanging up gloves January 19th

ΥΠΕΝΘΥΜΙΣΗ: The deadline to apply for a media credential is Ιαν. 12ου

WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Ιανουάριος 5, 2017) – Auburn (ΜΑ) κατώτερο middleweight “Ιρλανδικός” Chuck Shearns will become the second-oldest professional fighter in Massachusetts boxing history την Πέμπτη νύχτα, Ιανουάριος 19, in his farewell performance at the Worcester Palladium, marking the first pro boxing event in Worcester, located in Central Mass., in more than five years.
Η εναρκτήρια “Το μέλλον της Νέας Αγγλίας” series event is being presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-ώρα, 2-διαίρεση παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Jose Antonio “Το Gallo” Ριβέρα – και ο γιος του, Anthonee “AJ” Ριβέρα.
Rising junior lightweight prospect, 2015 Νέας Αγγλίας Golden Gloves πρωταθλητής Ίρβιν Γκονζάλες (4-0, 4 KOs), will be fighting at home in the 6-round main event against Mexican invader Oscar Eduardo Quezada (2-1, 1 KO), while Springfield (ΜΑ) ελαφρύ βαρέων βαρών Reinaldo “Μπαζούκα” Graceski (4-0, 2 KOs) meets Worcester’s Ralph Johnson (2-9, 1 KO) in the six-round co-feature.
The 49-year-old Shearns (2-1, 1 KO), who is the general manager of Lundgren Honda in Auburn, θα αναλάβει Shavonte Dixon (0-1), της Φιλαδέλφειας, σε μια τέσσερις-στρογγυλή περίοδο. The state record, set in 2011 by then 53-year-old Joe Siciliano, is safe because Jan. 19ου will definitely be Shearns’ τελευταίος αγώνας.
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for all boxers in terms of what they go through to be able to perform at their best in the ring,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “Chuck is doing it at 49 ετών! That takes a lot of sacrifice and courage to put your body through that rugged training. I wish him the best and I am glad I can provide him with the opportunity to be able to say goodbye to boxing on his own terms.”
Shearns made his amateur debut at the age of 29, 10 years later he made his professional debut. “I grew up watching boxing with my father (Γιάννης), who boxed in the Navy, and my grandfather (Γιάννης),” Shearns explained. “My grandfather was a club fighter, έτσι, boxing was in my blood. I only had four amateur fights and one day I met “Fitzy,” who is now one of my closest friends. (Sean Fitzgerald, one of Worcester’s all-time best boxers, who is Shearns’ head trainer.) I told him I wanted one pro fight and asked him to train me.”
Γιατί, αν και, σε ηλικία 49 does he still put himself through such extensive training, while working fulltime during the holiday season, to fight an opponent half his age?
“Boxing was the ultimate hobby for me and I just got carried away with it,” Shearns admitted. “I’m a novelty, not a real pro boxer. I’m fighting Ιανουάριος 19ου because I was given this opportunity and decided to accept it but, τίμια, I’m sure that this it! Maybe I just wanted a chance to go out with a win because I lost my last one? Δεν γνωρίζω. Sometimes I wake up asking myself, ‘What am I doing?’ And ‘Fitzy’ is working me so hard for this fight – I don’t know if it’s my age or what – but I’ve hated every minute of it. I lost my father in March. He was always in my corner and this fight I’ll have RIP on my trunks in his honor.”
Lately, Shearns’ typical day has been, καλά, in a word, unordinary, to say the least. He reports to work at 5 π.μ.., exercises and runs on the treadmill for an hour in a small gym at work, catches up with “Fitzy” at Anytime Fitness to hit the heavy and speed bags, and after work “Fitzy” trains Shearns at Camp Get Right.
Shearns has the complete support of his family and co-workers, who will all be at the Worcester Palladium supporting him Ιαν. 19. “My wife (Karen) and two daughters (Kayla and Olivia) have always been there for me,” Shearns noted. “My wife supports me and has jokingly said, ‘We’re getting divorced if you lose this fight.’ I’ve worked at Lundgren Honda for about 20 years and most of the 100-plus employees there will be at my fight. I did want to fight one more time before I turn 50. When Jose asked me to fight, how could I pass up this final opportunity?”
Also fighting on the undercard in 4-round bouts are Worcester junior lightweight Andino Ranse in his pro debut vs. Lowell’s (ΜΑ) Jonathan Perez (2-0-1, 2 KOs), pro-debuting Worcester heavyweight Felix Martinez vs. Dorchester’s (ΜΑ) Brian Richardson (0-8), Hartford’s (CT) pro-debuting light heavyweight Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Ριβέρα vs. Brockton’s (ΜΑ) Huston Crayton (1-8, 0 KOs), pro-debuting Southbridge (ΜΑ) πυγμάχος Wilfredo Pagan vs. Puerto Rican Alexander Picot (1-1-1, 0 KOs) at a 145-pound catchweight, pro-debuting Springfield (ΜΑ) junior featherweight Luis “Pancho” Σαντιάγκο vs, Mexican Jonathan Ramos (1-2, 0 KOs), 2016 N.W. Golden Gloves πρωταθλητής Άντονι Λαουράνο (1-0), of East Haven (CT), vs. Boston junior welterweight Rafael Francis (0-8), Saugus (ΜΑ) ελαφρύ βαρέων βαρών Μπράντον Μοντέλλα (5-0, 4 KOs) vs. Mexican veteran Roberto El Viejo” Valenzuela (69-73-2, 56 KOs) and unbeaten Lawrence (ΜΑ) βαρέων βαρών Jean Pierre Augstin (7-0-1, 3 KOs).

“It’s all about the fighters,” RPE CEO Jose Antonio Rivera said. “I’m in a unique position as a promoter because of my boxing background. I hard it is for local fighters to get fights, which is why we have so many with less than six pro fights and five pro debuts fighters on this card. They are why we’re here today. I never had a press conference until I was much more established in my career. This is about them showcasing their skills.
“After my son graduated from Johnson Wales University with a degree in Sports Management, he told me he was ready to form Rivera Promotions Entertainment, as we had discussed, and promote shows. I lost a lot of money promoting a show in 2008, so I told him to put a plan together first and within a week he did. He had gotten his feet wet in the business as an intern for a boxing promoter. We went over the plan ad decided that we can do this. We’re not signing fighters, τώρα, we’re helping them build their careers. We do a lot of hard work behind the scenes that the public doesn’t see; the fighters work in the gym. I’m really excited about January 19ου. Irvin Gonzalez is a future world champion.”
