Richie “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera finds new home in Orlando

एक टिप्पणी द्या

Returns to ring Feb. 12व्या in Orlando on Christy Martin-promoted card

ऑर्लॅंडो, Fla. (फेब्रुवारी 4, 2021) – It seems only appropriate that undefeated cruiserweightRichie “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (18-0, 13 कॉस) has found a new home in Orlando (फ्लोरिडा), although his heart remains in his native Hartford (सीटी), since he followed his partner/head trainerTony Blanco there nearly six months ago,   

“I recently went to Universal Studios and it’s definitely Popeye-friendly,” the charismatic Rivera reported. “They had Popeye rides, souvenirs and novelties. I felt like it’s my part of town.”

Due to financial strains associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hartford Boxing Center (HBC) was closed by the state March 15 and it never reopened. Blanco and his family traveled south to the Sunshine State, where he opened the Orlando Boxing Club (OBC at 7335 Lake Underhill Road in Orlando, फ्लोरिडा).  Soon after “Popeye” packed his bags and joined Blanco.

“The business was bleeding, and I have a family to support,” Blanco explained. “We’ve more or less brought Hartford Boxing Center to Orlando, where there are so many opportunities for us. It is what it is, there was no other way to survive. We’ve turning a negative into a positive.

“It was a cool ride alongside the Hartford community. We were sad to announce the Hartford Boxing Center had closed its doors. We are deeply indebted to Hartford for giving us the opportunity to meet such a loving community that made us feel like family. We will miss each and every one there and, hopefully, we left our legacy there in good standing with everyone. We hope everybody stays safe, healthy and continues their goals and dreams The fight continues!"

Florida’s weather alone has advantages over Connecticut, in addition to no state tax, and “Popeye” has taken full advantage as he marches towards the top of the cruiserweight division.

“I’ve taken it all in,” he commented. “Down here I’m able to run in weather when it isn’t freezing or in the snow, although that did make me more of an animal. But it was harder training in Hartford and there are so many reasons not to run and train there. Not in Orlando where I have nothing but quality runs and workouts. I get solid sparring here in Orlando with partners who have different styles and I EVEN went over to the gym owned by my idol, रॉय जोन्स, किन, in Pensacola.

“It’s especially difficult being here during the pandemic with so many of my family and friends back in Hartford. I’m still showed a lot of love back there where I have my roots. Florida is awesome, but I still have a lot of living left, so we’ll need to wait to see what’s ahead for me in the future.”

दरम्यान, Rivera and Blanco found a strong ally and friend in Hall of FamerChristy Martin, who is now a boxing promoter in Florida and North Carolina. Rivera’s last fight was this past August 15व्या in Daytona Beach (फ्लोरिडा) on a Martin-promoted card, in which he knocked outRyan Soft in the opening round.

“Popeye” is scheduled to fight on her February 12व्या show in Orlando against veteran Mexican fighterUlises “El Cirillo” Jimenez (24-26-1, 18 कॉस) in an 8-round featured bout.

“This will be the fifth time I’ve fought on one of her cards,” Rivera noted. “She’s awesome. Boxing is a little cutthroat, but I felt comfortable with Christy right away. She doesn’t need to have me fighting on her cards. I’m blessed to have her continue to watch after me. I’m also blessed to have a promoter likeजो DeGuardia (स्टार बॉक्सिंग), especially during this pandemic, because he doesn’t have to let me fight on cards that he doesn’t promote like on February 12th.”

The feeling between Martin and Team Popeye is mutual. “I really like Popeye and Tony,” Martin offered. “He understands that this isn’t all about fighting. Fighters need to market themselves. and everybody here loves Popeye. After each fight he goes to talk to fans, especially kids, sign autographs for them and pose for pictures. There’s nothing like being here in Florida. It’s the best for training. Good weather all around and coming from the north like him, no excuses to work-out because of the cold. He’s improved the basic stuff since I first watched him. He’s keeping his head up, improved his power, and is more relaxed in the ring. He’s certainly headed in the right direction. He hasn’t been in any battles and I think he’s getting ready to take a big leap into a title fight.”

Rivera has benefitted from being promoted by DeGuardia in several ways, including his role as a regular sparring partner for Star Boxing light heavyweightजो स्मिथ, जूनियर. (26-3, 21 कॉस), who is preparing for a Feb. 13व्या सह गणितMaxim Vlasov (45-3 (26 कॉस) airing on ESPN live from The Bubble in Las Vegas. They will fight for the vacant World Boxing Organization Light Heavyweight Championship of the World.

“’Popeye’ is a colorful character and an exciting fighter who has a very entertaining style,” DeGuardia remarked. “He has a great way about him.”

When asked about putting “Popeye” on Christy’s show, DeGuardia stated: “Every decision is unique and made with a view towards what’s best for both the promoter and fighter. Does it make sense? Is it good for Star Boxing and our fighters?  If it fits, I have no problem having our fighter on somebody else’s card. This makes sense for everybody. Christy gets a good, featured fighter on her card, hopefully ‘Popeye’ gets a win, and our fighter stays busy. While in this COVID-19 pandemic a few good wins for your fighter is a good thing,"

His heart may always be in Hartford, but ‘Popeye” Rivera has found a new home in Orlando, and his boxing career continues to rise.

NUTMEG POWER PREVAILS CONNECTICUT PROSPECTS RICHIE RIVERA & ANTHONY LAUREANO REMAIN UNDEFEATED

एक टिप्पणी द्या

“NEW ENGLAND EXPLOSION” OFFICIAL RESULTS

SPRINGFIELD, मास. (डिसेंबर 13, 2019) — Rising Connecticut starsRICHIE “POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN” RIVERA आणि“ACTION“ ANTHONY LAUREANO both remained undefeated with impressive performance tonight on a solid “New England Explosion” card in front of an enthusiastic crowd at MassMutual Center in Springfield, मॅसेच्युसेट्स.

“New England Explosion,” presented byJOE DEGUARDIA’S STAR BOXING, sponsored by MGM Springfield, aired live in a first for New England Sports Network (NESN), and streamed worldwide (excluding N.E.) वरwww.FITE.TV.

Heavy-handed Rivera (आता 16-0, 12 कॉस) took his power up to the cruiserweight division against “MIGHTY” JOE JONES(आता 11-2, 8 कॉस), who unexplainably kept his hands very low, as “Popeye” pounded him to the head and body in the main event. Rivera hit Jones with everything but the kitchen sink, in what looked like batting practice at times, although “Popeye” failed to register a stoppage for only the third time in 16 pro fights. .

It was a rough, physical fight that got chippy early with both fighters exchanging trash talk and showboating. Rivera, who hails from Hartford, pressed the action throughout the fight against a defensive Jones, who switched to a peep-a-boo style in the later rounds.

“I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach….toot, toot! My coach kept telling me to relax but, प्रामाणिकपणे, I was putting on a show. More or less, I was acting,” Rivera talked about the roughhousing. “He was tough. My team said to box. The plan wasn’t to go for a knockout. I threw some big shots just to let him know.

“I’m so happy to have had my seventh fight this year. I’ve been active and I’m undefeated. I try to put on a show for the fans and be a role model.”

सहकारी मुख्य झाल्यास, Laureano (आता 13-0, 4 कॉस), एक 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion from nearby East Hartford, CT., defeated Texas super lightweightANGEL “AZTEC WARRIOR” HERNANDEZ (17-14-2, 11 कॉस) in a toe-to-toe battle from the opening . This TV-friendly fight could have been fought in a proverbial phone booth. Laureano, नेहमी प्रमाणे, was relentless in his attack, systematically breaking down his opponent with strong body work of his own, as well as seemingly landing uppercuts and left hooks at will.

Laureano took control in the second and never let up against a game Hernandez, कोण, like Laureano, never stopped throwing punches. Eventually, Laureano won an 8-round unanimous decision in a wildly entertaining, highly competitive clash.

“It was beautiful,” Laureano commented. “I like wars, my trainers don’t. I let my emotions take over. It was a beautiful fight, तरी, all action and the people loved it. But I fought his fight. I did adapt and showed some of my boxing ability at some points.

“He’s experienced and came in confident. He kept coming; तो कठीण आहे. This will build me into a better fighter. I did a lot of good things. The goal is to learn from every fight, मी खाईन, and we’ll go back to the drawing board.”

डॅनबरी, CT super lightweightOMAR “THE BEAST” BORDOY (आता 10-1, 3 कॉस) opened the NESN broadcast with a masterful display of boxing, winning all eight rounds on each of the three judges’ scorecards for an 8-round unanimous decision against late replacementDIEUMERCI ”ELEPHANT MAN” NZAU (आता 11-11, 8 कॉस). 

Bordoy effectively and consistently beat Nzau to the punch, moved well inside the ropes, and never put himself in dire straits. “It felt good,” Bordoy said after the fight. “The game plan was to out-box him, use my job, and not take any unnecessary chances. I followed the game plan and came out with an easy victory.

“I knew he had some power and he caught me with a good punch early. I watched some tape of him and listened to my trainers. I want to get back in the ring as soon as possible.”

In a battle of welterweight southpaws, गावी आवडत्याDERRICK “BAD BOY” WHITLEY II (6-1-1) suffered a cut over his right eye from an accidental headbutt byJERMAINE CORLEY (3-8, 1 KO) during the second round. The ringside physician halted the action after two rounds and the fight, by rule, was a “no decision.”

संध्याकाळी उघडण्याच्या चढाओढ मध्ये, Hartford welterweight prospectJEFFREY TORRES(आता 6-0, 4 कॉस) त्याच्या undefeated रेकॉर्ड अखंड ठेवले, pitching a shutout for a 6-round unanimous decision over Brockton, MA journeymanANTONIO CHAVES FERNANDEZ(आता 9-40-4, 3 कॉस).   Torres out-boxed Fernandez, who was buzzed several times, सुरवातीपासून समाप्त करण्यासाठी.

ब्राझिलियन लाइट हेवीवेटLEANDRO “BUSCAPE” SILVA (2-3, 1 KO) ruined the homecoming for local fighterANGEL ‘ THE BLACK RICAN” VAZQUEZ (0-2) चाला आउट चढाओढ मध्ये, Silva trapped Vazquez on the ropes in the fourth round.

Undefeated featherweight prospect Irvin Gonzalez added to “Fight Night at The Zone”

एक टिप्पणी द्या

 

This Saturday at The SportsZone in Derry, N.H.

 

 

 

QUINCY, मास. (एप्रिल 2, 2018) — This Saturday night’s “Fight Night at The Zone”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, has been strengthened by the late addition of hot prospect Irvin Gonzalez to a card already showcasing some of the best young, professional boxers in New England.

 

 

 

Granite Chin Promotions is on a mission to establish a fan-base in the Granite State, providing a fan friendly, full entertainment experience at The Sports Zone in Derry, न्यू हॅम्पशायर.

 

 

 

गोन्झालेझ (8-0, 7 कॉस), fighting out of Worcester, एम.ए., होता एक 2015 न्यू इंग्लंड गोल्डन हातमोजे विजेता, who qualified for the 2016 ऑलिम्पिक चाचण्या. The 21-year-old featherweight prospect will face Mexican फ्रांसिस्को “El Mono” Medal (12-12, 8 कॉस) सहा गोल चढाओढ मध्ये.

 

 

 

गोन्झालेझ, who hasn’t fought since December 1 1 (sensational third-round knockout of previously undefeated 13-0 Marlon Olea in Providence), was supposed to fight St. Patrick’s Day in Boston, but he was informed the day of the weigh in that his opponent hadn’t cleared medicals.

 

 

 

I’m always in the gym working hard because I like to stay busy and be ready,” गोन्झालेझ सांगितले. “No layoffs for me. I’ve been sparring 3-4 times a week to polish my craft. मी नेहमी तयार आहे. I was disappointed a few weeks ago, but I’m fighting on this card, and back on the right track.

 

 

 

“I only focus on my next fight, एप्रिल 7व्या, against a tough, अनुभवी विरोधक. He’s a veteran boxer from Mexico. After this Saturday night, I’ll concentrate on my next fight, मे 5व्या at Foxwoods.”

 

 

 

The addition of Gonzalez with a card featuring some of tomorrow’s stars such as Hartford, CT light heavyweight champion रिचर्ड “पोपाय द खलाशी मॅन” Rivera, (6-0, 5 कॉस) means two of the top three prospects in New England will be in action this Saturday in Derry. And several other promising boxers will also be in action. Rivera faces गावंढळ “The Rattler” कॅंबेल, of Ohio, in the six-round co-featured event.

 

 

 

“We are happy to have Irvin on our show,” co-promoter Chuck Shearns म्हणाला,. “His last fight fell out and we are always happy to help local fighters, especially someone of Irvin’s caliber. We have five undefeated fighters on this show. They’re legitimate prospects with a lot of upside. Irvin, Richie and Omar are starting to get national attention and New Hampshire fans are getting an early look at them. The veteran fighters on this show have a lot to fight for as well. ”

 

 

 

Dorchester, MA lightweight Gabriel Duluc (11-3, 2 कॉस) headlines in the eight-round main event against Dallas veteran Larry “Slomoshun” स्मिथ.

 

 

 

Iraq War veteran Chris Traietti (25-4, 20 कॉस), fighting out of Quincy, एम.ए., meets Indiana veteran “Jammin'” James Morrow in an eight-round, non-title fight. Traietti, whose title will not be on the line, is also the co-promoter of “Fight Night at The Zone.”

Dustin Caplinger; Irish welterweight Paddy McGee, now fighting out of Dorchester (एम.ए.), makes his pro debut vs. Philadelphia’s Bardraiel Smith; स्प्रिंगफील्ड, MA welterweight Anthony Velezquez (1-0, 1 KO) वि.

रिचर्ड “Popeye the Sailor Man” Rivera,
Good to finish because he eats his spinach
Russell Kimber wins pro debut
HAMPTON, N.H.

Rivera,, fighting out of Hartford (सीटी), controlled the action from the opening bell against his battle-tested opponent from Mexico, who had a tremendous experience advantage in his 147व्या pro fight, compared to Rivera’s fifth.
Valenzuela spent most of the time on the ropes, while Rivera teed-off on him, until a beautiful placed left hook by Rivera decked Valenzuela, who failed to get up until after referee माईक रायन completed the 10-count.
A busload of Rivera’s fans drove five hours from Hartford through a snowstorm, arriving just before Rivera entered the ring. “That means a lot to me,” Rivera smiled as he spoke about his fans. “We’re more than a gym, आम्ही कुटुंब आहोत.
“I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. पुढील, I want to win the New England title. It’s vacant and I want it!”
“This was our first show in New Hampshire and I consider it a success,” co-promoter Chuck Shearnच्या म्हणाला,, “despite some things going against us like tonight’s weather. We’re grateful for the support we received from Hampton, न्यू हॅम्पशायर, the commission and local businesses. They worked with us and we can’t wait to return.”
The son and nephew of multiple-time world kickboxing champions – father Tommy and uncle – worked his corner — Peabody, एम.ए. Russell Kimber had a promising pro debut against tough Nathan Schulte in a match contested at a 185-pound catchweight. The 32-year-old Kimber, who was the crowd favorite having lived several years in New Hampshire, overcame the determined Schulte for a hard-fought victory by way of a four-round majority decision.
“I was a little nervous with this being my first time in a pro ring,” Kimber admitted after his fight. “I hadn’t been in a ring for 1 ½ years and there was some ring rust. आता, I know what I need to good, and I’ll be a lot better next fight. This was my first camp and I’ve learned a lot. I’d like to stay busy, come back in late January, early February.”
Undefeated Whitman, MA junior welterweight prospect माईक “Bad Man” Ohan, जूनियर.charged across the ring, unloading a powerful right that immediately sent Bardraiel Smith to the canvas. Smith somehow got to his feet but Ohan quickly ended Smith’s night, only 30-second into round one, as referee Ryan waved off the action.
New England cruiserweight champion and the show’s co-promoter, Iraq War veteran Chris Traietti (25-5, 19 कॉस) outclassed Fabian Valdez en route to a win by second-round knockout in a stay-busy fight to close out 2017. In a non-title fight contested at a 185-pounds catchweight, the Quincy, MA-based Traietti floored his game Mexican opponent with a straight right midway through the opening round, closing the show in the second round with a series of unanswered punches.
The only New Hampshire native on the card, Claremont junior middleweight Ricky Ford(1-1-1) won his first pro fight, taking a lop-sided, four-round unanimous decision over pro MMA fighter Andy Aiello, who made his pro boxing debut.
In another stay-busy fight, former world-rated रायन “पोलिश प्रिन्स” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 कॉस), fighting out of Quincy (एम.ए.), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight फ्रांसिस्को “El Mono” Medal. Kielczweski hit Medal with a with a lethal left to the body, leaving Medal in obvious pain and unable to rise before the 10-count.
New Jersey middleweight ख्रिस “Sandman” थॉमस (7-0-1, 4 कॉस) kept his unbeaten pro record intact with a second-round stoppage of Demetrius Thomas. Thomas used a rapid-fire combination to drop Thomas, who beat the count, but he was getting hammered when referee Ryan stopped the fight late in the second round.

New boxing chapter to start for former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga

एक टिप्पणी द्या
ऑक्टोबर 28 वर्सेस्टर मध्ये, एम.ए.
वर्सेस्टर, मास. (ऑक्टोबर 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger गब्रीएल “Napao” Gonzaga starts October 28व्या when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” कार्ड, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “न्यू इंग्लंडच्या भविष्यातील”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) वर्सेस्टर मध्ये, मॅसेच्युसेट्स.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, दोन विभागातील जागतिक विजेता जोस अँटोनियो Rivera, आणि त्याचा मुलगा, Anthonee (ए.जे.) Rivera,.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (एम.ए.). An imposing physical fighter, the 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 कॉस, 9 SUBs, 1 म्हणजे DEC), वस्तू 4व्या degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 सिगारेट 70, held in Manchester, युनायटेड किंगडम, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion मिर्को क्रो कॉप with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion गावंढळ Couture in his next fight.
Gonzaga, who retired from MMA 1 ½ years ago, also defeated बेन Rothwell, Shawn Jordan आणि Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(एल आर) – Rocky Gonzalez & गब्रीएल Gonzaga
Gonzago has a new opponent for his four-round bout, Tampa’s pro-debuting Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, who also has a pro MMA background.
“I like challenges in my life,” Gonzaga explained why he’s making his pro debut. “I set new goals because I like to be competitive in sports. I have a good boxing coach who told me I should try. I was a BJJ (ब्राझिलियन ज्यू-जित्सू) world champion and UFC title contender. I have good boxing skills and plan to put on a good show. I do have one-punch power and hit hard.
“I started boxing in 2001 and worked at it every day for two years to learn, but then I was competing in MMA. आता, I’m focused on boxing. I think boxing is the hardest part of MMA. I know you can’t make mistakes in boxing and there’s no time to relax. MMA मध्ये, I could relax a little at times in clinches, but the referee won’t allow that in boxing. I’ll probably fight more than once but not too many because of my age and I’m not really at the high-level of boxing like I was in MMA.”
Gonzaga’s head boxing trainer, Rocky Gonzalez, has been working with several MMA fighters, including Gonzaga, for more than a decade to help them improve their striking skills. Gonzalez freely admits that Gonzaga knew how to box before he started working with him, crediting Gonzaga’s Muay Thai coach, and that boxing came naturally to the big Brazilian who has made an easy adjustment from the Octagon to the ring. Gonzalez also feels that leg positioning differences for MMA fighters switching to boxing, in terms of throwing proper punches, is somewhat overrated.
“In boxing,” गोन्झालेझ सांगितले, “fighters need their hands like their legs and elbows in MMA. Distance and timing is more important than where their legs and feet are positioned. Gabriel doesn’t like sparring with headgear, त्यामुळे, his sparring is more like real fighting. He’s been hot with some real shots but he’s responded well. He’s always going to have a puncher’s chance and he’s deceptive because he doesn’t look as fast as he is.
“We didn’t really plan anything but he got this good opportunity. He’s always wanted to turn pro as a boxer and go from there. Gabriel is a good listener who keeps working hard to get better. When he first brought up boxing, he was contracted by the UFC, but we started talking about him boxing after the UFC released him. He knew Jose from him teaching boxing. Gabriel isn’t doing this for the money. He’s a competitive guy who wanted to try boxing.”
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion, Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 कॉस), fighting out of Pembroke (एम.ए.), will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion शौल “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 कॉस) in the eight-round main event.
