WORCESTER, Masse. (Februar 11, 2018) – Undefeated prospect Richard “Skipper Skræk Man” Rivera afsluttede Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs i tredje runde, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New Englands fremtid 5” kort, præsenteret af Rivera Promotions Underholdning, på The Palladium i 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, ja, 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 forklarede. “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.”
I co-featured begivenhed, hjemby favorit Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-2) fought to a four-round majority draw.
Super middleweight Troy “Omar KO Kunstner” kunstner (5-7-1, 3 KOS), af 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 Borðoy, 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 “den Sucaro” Pagan (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. I anden runde, Pagan, 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 “Bad Boy” 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), af 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.

“New Englands fremtid 5” main event
“New Englands fremtid 5”
Februar. 10 i Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Masse. (Januar 31, 2018) — Let sværvægter Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOS”, repræsenterer George Foreman III’S Everybody Fights træningscenter i South Boston (MA), vil være tilbage i ringen efter en relativt lang pause, Februar 10th mod undefeated Hartford (CT) Udsigten Richard “Skipper Skræk Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOS), på The Palladium i Worcester.
Rivera vs. Cobbs vil kæmpe om den ledige Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England lys sværvægter titel

i otte-runde “New Englands fremtid 5” main event. “Ny England';s Future 5″, præsenteret af Rivera Promotions Underholdning (RPE)”, er den femte rate af den populære “New Englands Future-serie.”
“Vi er meget glade for at være i stand til at have sat sammen en kamp af denne kaliber,” promotorJose Antonio Rivera kommenterede. “Disse er den slags kamp, ​​boksning fans elsker at se. Cobbs er en gennemprøvet udfordrer, der har store slagsmål erfaring. It’s good to see he is confident in his abilities to take on Rivera, en ubesejret up-and-coming udsigten med en meget lys fremtid.”
Den 33-årige Cobbs har ikke kæmpet i mere end to år, da han blev stoppet i anden runde ved sensationelle David Benavidez (19-0, 17 KOS), den 21-årige Regerende World Boxing Council (WBC) Super Mellemvægt Verdensmester.
“Folk troede, at jeg havde fået ud af boksning,” Cobbs forklarede. “”Jeg har aldrig holdt op med uddannelse, Jeg havde bare ikke nogen kampe siden Benavidez kampen. Jeg er en personlig træner og nu er jeg tilbage i boksning form. Jeg forlod aldrig boksning! Denne kamp er en stor mulighed for mig. Det kan åbne døre til uanset min lejr beslutter. Mit job er at gøre, hvad der er behov for i firkantede cirkel.”
Rivera har haft kun fem pro kampe og har ikke en rig amatør stamtavle. Han har aldrig været i ringen med nogen tæt på Benavidez. Cobbs har også diskuteret Winky Wright, Chad Dawson for begge hans kampe med Bernard Hopkins, Edwin Rodriguez, Peter Manfredo, Jr. og de fleste af de øverste nuværende New England boksere.
Mange tror Cobbs har en afgørende erfaring fordel i forhold Rivera og spørgsmålstegn ved, om han er klar til at optrappe i klassen til at kæmpe Cobbs. “Han har kun haft fem pro slagsmål,” Cobbs svarede adspurgt, “men jeg ved ikke, om han er klar. Jeg kan ikke svare på det, kun han kan. men vi vil finde ud af februar 10th. Jeg kan fortælle dig, at jeg er klar.”
Ironisk nok, Cobbs er fra Riveras hjemby, Hartford. Cobbs forklarede, at han kom ind i nogle problemer på Hartford gader som en ungdom, som førte til ham at genbosætte i Burlington, Vermont. Han til sidst åbnede et træningscenter i Fall River (MA) og arbejder nu på Everybody Fights.
“Jeg gør, hvad jeg kan lide at gøre,” Cobbs konkluderede. “I don’t have jitters like I did when I first started boxing Everything is easier now, Jeg er afslappet i ringen. Jeg er stadig læring på jobbet, men jeg er mere kvalificerede end jeg var sidste gang jeg kæmpede. Jeg er en boksekamp kamæleon: Jeg kan bokse eller bang for at imødegå min modstanders stil.”
Worcester to-tiden nationale amatør mester Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0) møder brasilianske super mellemvægt Saul Almeida (0-8-1) i de fire-runde co-featured begivenhed. Hartford super mellemvægt Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-1, 3 KOS) ansigter Troy “Omar KO Kunstner” kunstner (4-7-1 (3 KOS), af Danbury (CT) i en seks-round Bout.

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

“New Englands fremtid 5”
Februar. 10 i Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Masse. (Januar 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, junior weltervægt Omar Borðoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10th på “New Englands fremtid 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), på The Palladium i Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), i en fire-runder kamp. “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. “En dag, 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 og Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Nu, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker eller 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 — Direktør A.J. Galante, hoved træner Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi og 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 i fjerde runde.
“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” promotor 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, ubesejret Hartford (CT) lys sværvægter Richard “Skipper Skræk Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOS) tager på Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOS), fighting out of South Boston (MA), om den ledige Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England titel i otte-runde main event.
Worcester to-tiden nationale amatør mester Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0) faces Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-1) i de fire-runde co-featured begivenhed. Hartford super mellemvægt Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-1, 3 KOS) opfylder Troy “Omar KO Kunstner” kunstner (4-7-1 (3 KOS), af Danbury (CT) i en seks-round Bout.
Fighting på undercard, alt i fire-runde kampe, er Southbridge (MA) junior weltervægt Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Pagan (3-0, 1 KO) vs. pro-debuterende Nick Peralta, af Lawrence, ubesejret Springfield (MA) lys sværvægter Ray “Bazooka” Graceski(5-0, 3 KOS). vs. Hartford pro-debuterende Paul Bansiak, Springfield weltervægtDerrick “Bad Boy” Whitley (2-0) vs. Roger Blankenship (1-2), ubesejret puertoricanske super mellemvægt Jelame Garcia (6-0, 6 KOS) vs. Brazilian Rodrigo Almeida 1-7), Bridgeport s (CT) pro-debuterende weltervægt Joseph Goss vs. Seth Basler (0-3), og Hartford junior letvægt vs. Bridgeport s Carlos Marraro, III (0-1).

Former national amateur champion Bobby Harris III breaking out of shadow cast by his father with a little help from his friends

Efterlad en kommentar
Oktober 28 i Worcester, MA
(L-R) – front: Bobby Harris III holding Bobby Harris IV and A.J. Rivera; rear: Bobby Harris and Jose Antonio Rivera
WORCESTER, Masse. (Oktober 2, 2017) – Local prospect Bobby “BH3” Harris III is ready to breakout of the shadows cast by his father, retired pro boxer Bobby Harris, start Lørdag nat, Oktober 28, in the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “New Englands fremtid”, på DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) i Worcester, Massachusetts.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, to division verdensmester Jose Antonio Rivera og hans søn, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
“BH3” and A.J. grew-up together in gyms as sons of pro fighters. They had dreams of making it in boxing, which has come to fruition with “BH3” den stigende udsigten, A.J. the president and matchmaker for RPE. Til tider, selv, what’s transpired may be somewhat surreal for both young men.
“I grew up in boxing,” Bobby Harris III explained. “My father always brought me to the gym and his fights. My uncle, Adam Harris, was also a pro boxer. My father and Jose were super close, me and A.J. grew-up as brothers. The same blood couldn’t make us any closer. It’s me and AJ. My first amateur fight was when I was 13. A.J. used to run and workout with me. I’d go to his house after school and sleep over on weekends. We planned our lives together in boxing; my job is to fight and A.J. promotes and makes matches.”
“I remember growing up with Bobby as my brother,” A.J. tilføjet. “We did everything together: ran, trained, sparred and pushed each other to our greatest limits. He’s grown so much over the years. His natural ability, mixed with years of experience, and Bobby growing into a man will surely lead to him being world champion one day. I’m truly proud and excited to see our childhood plan unfold.”
“BH3” only had about 40 amateur matches but the large majority were at the national level. He is a two-time national amateur champion, including a gold-medal performance in the USA National Championships, and as a member of Team USA, he was rated No. 1 i US, og nr. 2 i verden.
The 21-year-old decided to turn pro earlier this year, rather than wait for a shot at the Olympics, after discussing his options with his father, as well as Jose and A.J. Rivera, plus his head trainer, Rocky Gonzalez. Worcester boxers such as Jermaine Ortiz og Irvin Gonzalez turning pro, along with the arrival of now 8-month-old Bobby Harris IV, were key factors in his decision to become a professional boxer. “I didn’t want to waste another year,” Bobby admitted. “Turning pro now will get me into rankings earlier. The time was right”
Bobby’s father was a 4-time national amateur champion as a super heavyweight who compiled a 20-2-1 (13 KOS) pro record between 1993 og 1999. I dag, he is an important member of his son’s corner, but he did leave a shadow cast over his son, especially across New England.
“People will always compare me with my dad, i ringen, men, as good as he was, it’s a great honor to be his son,” Bobby Harris III remarked. “It’s been nothing but good for me. He trained with fighters like (Oscar) De La Hoya, (Shane) Mosley, (Evander) Holyfield and so many other great fighters. We are different, selv. and now I’m establishing my own identity. The sport has changed so much since he fought. Back then it was mostly two guys beating each other up, not as much of a performance. I like to put on a good performance and have people say, ‘He’s cool, and when does he fight again. My dad has told me how different boxing is today compared to when he fought. Nu, marketing is so important for fighters, and a lot of exposure is through social media.
“My father was a heavyweight, I’m going to go down to 154 (junior mellemvægt. He is so much bigger, taller and heavier than I am, so fighting in different weight classes separates us. I’m a different style fighter, for. I’m more active than him. So that people don’t confuse us when talking, I came up with ‘BH3’ as my persona. We are different in and out of the ring.”
“I have known Little Bobby (as I call him) since he was born,” Jose Rivera noted. “He calls me, Tio (uncle) Jose, and I love him like a member of my family. I am happy and proud to see little Bobby go after his dreams and goals his way and on his terms. I wouldn’t want it any other way. My son, A.J., and I are happy that we can use our RPE company to be able to help little Bobby pursue his dreams and goals. Worcester – and soon enough the rest of the world – will know it’s BH3 Time!”
“BH3” turned pro this past Juni 10, in his Worcester hometown, taking a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 X 3) over an awkward opponent, Rodrigo Almeida, who seemed more interested in survival, often frustrating “BH3” with his constant holding.
“I’m happy with the way that fight went because I learned so much,” Bobby commented. “I was so excited with all the hype about my pro debut, and I was into the crowd trying for the knockout. I learned that I need to take my time, have fun, throw combinations and that the knockout will come. Dad liked to jab, I like to hit and run like ‘Sukker’ Ray (Leonard). My first pro fight wasn’t really me. I’m the matador but I can fight like a bull if the opportunity comes to me. I can change things around but I forgot to have fun in my pro debut.”
“BH3” plans to breakout from his father’s shadow in his Oct. 28th fight against New Yorker Troy Omer “KO Artist” kunstner (3-7-1, 2 KOS), contested at a 164-pound catchweight, i en fire-runder kamp.
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOS), fighting out of Pembroke (MA), will face an opponent to be determined in the eight-round main event.
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga will make his pro boxing debut in a four-round match against Washington D.C. sværvægter Alando Pugh (1-10-1, 1 KO).
Den “New England’s Future 4” undercard features many of the best and most popular N.E. krigere, Herunder 2016 N.E. Golden Gloves mester Anthony Laureano (4-0, 2 KOS), a promising welterweight from East Hartford (CT), who faces Clifton Rashad Thames (3-2-1), of Oklahoma City, i en seks-round match.
Other undercard fights, all four-rounders, omfatter 2014 N.E. Golden Gloves mester Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (4-0, 3 KOS), kæmper ud af nærliggende Lawrence (MA), vs. veteran Norwalk (CT) weltervægt Shakha Moore (12-23-3, 2 KOS), New Haven (CT) Edwin Soto (10-2-2, 4 KOS) vs. Anthony Everett (1-6). af Lawrence, at a 150-pounds catch-weight, three-time USA Boxing Nationals champion Elvis Figueroa (2-0, 1 KO), for New Haven (CT), vs. Anthony Bowman (11-63-2, 3 KOS).

Rivera. RPE will return to the DCU Center on October 28th for its final installment of “New Englands fremtid” series in 2017.
In the co-featured attraction, popular New York City heavyweight Sonya “The Scholar” Lamonakis, by way of Greece and Turners Falls, MA, konfronteret Laura “Lady Ram” Ramsey in a female battle of former world champions for the vacant UBF World title,
The 21-year-old Gonzalez (7-0, 6 KOS) was fighting in his first scheduled eight-round bout, mod Raul Lopez (10-32-1, 5 KOS), Bronx (NY). The two fighters came out fast in a firefight, both throwing leather from all angles, although neither was hurt in the opening round. The pace picked up even more in the second as both fighters landed solid shots.
Fighting in the third round for the first time in his young professional career, Gonzalez turned up the heat, ripping effective combination to the head and body of Lopez, who responded by pounding Gonzalez on the ropes.
Gonzalez dropped Lopez early in the fourth with a strong right to the chin, followed by a brawling fifth round, and the action slowed slightly in the sixth. Gonzalez, who took control in the final two rounds, went the distance for the first time, taking a hard-fought eight-round unanimous decision (79-73 X 2, 76-75).
“He was definitely the toughest I’ve fought,” Gonzalez said after the fight. “I still have to work on things in the gym. I didn’t go to the body like I did in my last few fights. I was head-hunting tonight. The dude was tough, I had to out-box him. I hurt my left hand late in the later rounds and stayed southpaw.
“I definitely learned a lot. My conditioning was there and I went eight strong rounds. Jeg har det godt, I could go another eight rounds. Fighting at home was good, I have a big fan-base here. I hope to be back here in October 28th.”
Lamonakis (10-2-3, 1 KO), a former IBO world champion, and past GBU world titlist Ramsey (108-1, 5 KOS) went toe-to-toe from the opening bell for 10 konkurrencedygtig, non-stop rounds, ending in a 10-round draw by three judges’ scoringer af 95-95.
Undefeated Worcester heavyweight Bryan Daniels (5-0, 3 KOS) unloaded on an over-matched Christopher “The Archbishop” Boykins (1-9), dropping the Floridian three times in the second round until referee Leo Gerstel mercifully waved off the fight at the end of the second.
Former No. 1 USA amateur boxer Bobby Harris III, the son of multiple national amateur champion and retired pro heavyweight, Bobby Harris, made his long-awaited pro debut. Fighting out of Worcester, Harris overcame early roughhouse tactics by Brazilian light heavyweight Rodrigo Almeida, af Woburn, MA, to earn a four-round “lukke ude” beslutning.
In a rematch of a fight this past April, Antonio Chaves Fernandez (8-32-4, 2 KOS), of Brockton (MA), defeated Worcester welterweight Andy Gonzalez (6-2, 5 KOS), by way of a six-round majority decision, to even their rivalry at 1-1.
Southbridge, MA welterweight Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Pagan (2-0) and his Lawrence, MA opponent, Anthony Everett (1-6), turned in an entertaining performance as Pagan won a four-round majority decision, despite him being decked in the final round.
Lawrence, MA welterweight Adrian Sosa (3-0, 3 KOS) needed only 41-second to stop New York City’s Zach Johnson (0-2). Sosa dropped Johnson in the first 10 seconds and again moments later, after which referee Gerstel halted the action.
Springfield, MA welterweight Derrick “Dobbelt Impact” Whitley (2-0), the son of a retired professional boxer, forbedret til 2-0 with a four-round unanimous decision over veteran Connecticut fighter Shaka Moore (12-23-3, 2 KOS).
Worcester’s pro-debuting Neal Sullivan (0-0-1) and Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-1) opened the night fighting a four-round majority draw.

“New England’s Future 3” June 10th i Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Masse. (Juni 1, 2017) – Popular heavyweight Sonya “The Scholar” Lamonakis tager på Laura “Lady Ram” Ramsey om den ledige Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) World title, på lørdag nat, Juni 10, i otte-runde “New England’s Future 3” co-feature at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) i Worcester, Massachusetts.
“New England’s Future 3” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, to division verdensmester Jose Antonio Rivera og hans søn, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
Undefeated prospect Irvin Gonzalez (6-0, 6 KOS), 21, headlines at home in his first scheduled eight-round bout, versus Raul Lopez (10-2-1, 5 KOS), Bronx (NY), for the vacant UBF All-American super featherweight championship.
“I am excited to be able to have our first world championship boxing match on our ‘New England’s 3’ boksning begivenhed,” promoter Jose Rivera commented. “It’s special because it’s a women’s World Heavyweight title fight with veterans like Sonya and Laura, who also have some hostilities towards one another. They’ve both earned this opportunity to fight for the UBF Women’s World Heavyweight Championship. I expect fireworks and know fans will be in for a treat.”
Pro boxing returns to the DCU Center for the first time i 11 år, when promoter Jose Antonio Rivera defeated Alejandro Garcia, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, for World Boxing Association (WBA) World super welterweight title.
Born in Greece, Lamonakis (10-2-2, 1 KO), who grew-up in Turners Falls (MA), is a teacher in New York City. She is a Springfield College graduate and has two Master’s Degrees. “I’m honored to be fighting in the first world title fight in Worcester since Jose Rivera,” Lamonakis said. “I’m from Massachusetts and I fought twice at Mechanics Hall (i Worcester, including her pro debut in 2010). I heard Jose was promoting shows in Worcester, so I called to say I’d like to fight for a world title on one of his cards. I think he saw me fight before and he quickly agreed.
“This is still a make-dominates sport. I tell young girls to box as a side job. I have two Master’s Degrees and I’m a full-time teacher in New York. Boxing is my hobby. Very few women can make enough money boxing to make a good living. I don’t know if it’s because I was born in Greece and boxing is in my blood, but I love this sport and that’s what keeps me going. I guess I was born to fight. I enjoy getting in the ring. I’ve gotten a lot from boxing and now I’m giving back to amateurs in New York City as president of a youth organization.”
Lamonakis; is a former International Boxing Organization World and New York State female heavyweight champion. Her opponent, Ramsey (10-7, KOS), as a two-time world title challenger is hoping the third time is the charm for her. They have history together and this fight nearly happened a few years ago.
“I beat her daughter (Alysia Williams-Stevenson) in my second pro fight,” Lamonakis explained. “She said she’s see me and now, seven years later, we’re fighting. She’s a little older than me and I needed more fights before I fought her. We were supposed to fight a few years ago in Aruba but a hurricane cancelled the show.”
In an eight-round Special Cruiserweight Attraction, Pembroke (MA) fan favorit Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOS) meets Brazilian knockout specialist Marcelo Leonardo “Queizada” Da Silva (22-4, 17 KOS).
Fighting på undercard, alt i fire-runde anfald, are Worcester welterweight Andy Gonzalez (6-1, 5 KOS) vs. TBA, Lawrence (MA) junior weltervægt Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (2-0, 2 KOS) vs. Buffalo’s Jack Grady (0-5-1), Worcester fjervægt Andino Ranse (1-0) vs. Woburn (MA) Gilvan Santos (0-3), Springfield (MA) junior mellemvægt Derrick “Dobbelt Impact” Whitley (1-0) vs. Norwalk (CT) veteran Shaka Moore (12-22-3, 2 KOS), Worcester’s pro-debuting Bobby Harris III vs. Woburn (MA) super mellemvægt Rodrigo Almeida (1-6), Southbridge (MA) junior weltervægt Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Pagan (1-0) vs. Lawrence’s Anthony Everett (1-5), Worcester’s Bryan Daniels (4-0, 2 KOS) vs. Florida’s Christopher “The Archbishop” Boykins (1-8) at a 205-pound catchweight, Hartford’s (CT) Richie “Skipper Skræk Man” Rivera (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Brazilian Nathan Schulte (0-2) at a 180-pound catchweight, and Worcester’s pro-debuting Neal Sullivan vs. Framingham (MA) super mellemvægt Saul Almeida (0-8).

Budding star Irvin Gonzalez Starting to make waves in Super featherweight division

PRESSEMEDDELELSE
“New England’s Future 3” June 10th i Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Masse. (Maj 24, 2017) – New England’s top prospect with 10 pro fights of less, undefeated hometown favorite Irvin Gonzalez, is on a fast track going into his June 10th headline fight in the third installment of the “New Englands fremtid” serie, på DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) i Worcester, Massachusetts.

“New England’s Future 3” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, to division verdensmester Jose Antonio Rivera og hans søn, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
The 21-year-old Gonzalez (6-0, 6 KOS) tager på Raul Lopez (10-2-1, 5 KOS), Bronx (NY), in an eight-round main event for the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All-American super featherweight championship.
Pro boxing returns to the DCU Center for the first time i 11 år, ironisk, when promoter Jose Antonio Rivera defeated Alejandro Garcia, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, for World Boxing Association (WBA) World super welterweight title.
“I am excited to watch Irvin’s boxing career flourish,” promoter Jose Rivera remarked. “He has all the tools to become a world champion. Fighting for the UBF championship will be the first of many and I am glad that we are able to give him this opportunity. I see big things for Irvin and I hope fans come out Lørdag nat, Juni 10th, to support him and the other local boxers.”.
“Dette er en stor mulighed for mig,” Gonzalez sagde. “I’m blessed to be fighting in Worcester for my first title. It’s not a big title but it’s like taking baby steps to a world title. Since I started boxing at the Boys & piger klub, I always wanted to be like Jose, a three-time world champion. Nu, it’s my turn, and I’m fighting again in my city.”
Gonzalez has a perfect pro record: six rights, six wins by knockout. Men, he’s only had fought a grand total of eight rounds, og juni 10th he’s in a scheduled eight-round match. The well-spoken youngster isn’t concerned with the step up in rounds and opposition.
“I’ve been asked about that by a lot of media, trainers and other fighters,” he explained. “I’ve always trained like it’s for a world title fight, 12 runder, so I’m not worried about going into deep water. I’m in magnificent shape, three weeks before the fight, and even in the amateurs I’ve always gotten stronger as the fight went along. In sparring, I get stronger, so going eight isn’t a problem for me.
“I don’t really know much about my opponent. He won a few national titles but hasn’t fought too often. I’ll see what he brings into the ring and then adjust. I know I’m taller.”
Gonzalez learned a lot when he was a sparring partner for Guillermo Rigondeaux in Florida that was supposed to be a six-week training camp that ended after three weeks due to Rigondeaux’ fight being cancelled.
“I learned a lot about different training methods that I now use,” Irvin continued. “His techniques are phenomenal. I was around a world champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist and I saw his work ethic. After all he’s accomplished, he still has a great work ethic, and I learned from him that a fighter need continue working like he does until the day it’s all over. It’s not all about money, it’s having fun every day, doing what we love.”
Former world female heavyweight champions Sonya “The Scholar” Lamonakis (10-2-2, 1 KO), the New York City teacher who lived in Turners Falls (MA), og Laura “Lady Ram” Ramsey (10-7, 5 KOS) battle for the vacant UBF World heavyweight title in the eight-round co-featured event.
Pembroke (MA) cruiserweight Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOS) meets invading Brazilian knockout artist Marcelo Leonardo “Queizada” Da Silva (22-4, 17 KOS) in an eight-round Special Cruiserweight Attraction.
Også kæmper på undercard, alt i fire-runde anfald, are Worcester welterweight Andy Gonzalez (6-1, 5 KOS) vs. TBA, Lawrence (MA) junior weltervægt Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (2-0, 2 KOS) vs. Buffalo’s Jack Grady (0-5-1), New Haven (CT) fjervægt Josh Crespo (7-4-3, 3 KOS) vs. Georgia’s Gabriel Braxton (2-18, 1 KO), Worcester fjervægt Andino Ranse (1-0) vs. Woburn (MA) Gilvan Santos (0-3), Springfield (MA) junior mellemvægt Derrick “Dobbelt Impact” Whitley (1-0) vs. Norwalk (CT) veteran Shaka Moore (12-22-3, 2 KOS), Worcester’s pro-debuting Bobby Harris III vs. Woburn (MA) super mellemvægt Rodrigo Almeida (1-6), Southbridge (MA) junior weltervægt Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Pagan (1-0) vs. Lawrence’s Anthony Everett (1-5), Worcester’s Bryan Daniels (4-0, 2 KOS) vs. Florida’s Christopher “The Archbishop” Boykins (1-8) at a 205-pound catchweight, Hartford’s (CT) Richie “Skipper Skræk Man” Rivera (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Brazilian Nathan Schulte (0-2) at a 180-pound catchweight, and Worcester’s pro-debuting Neal Sullivan vs. Framingham (MA) super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8).

Pressemøde CITATER
Vinnie Carita: “I saw the last (RPE) show and it was great. I’m happy to be on this show. This is a great show with a lot of New England talent. There’s going to be fireworks!”
Matt Remillard: “Jeg var på (RPE’s) last fight and it sold out. That’s awesome. They’re making boxing better, not only in Worcester, but throughout New England. April 1, 2005, I turned pro. I never fought in Worcester before. It’s a great atmosphere. This has been a long time coming, six years I’m going to punish him for. It will not go the distance, I can promise that. He won’t recognize himself after the fight. After I knock him down, I hope he gets back up because I want to punish him. This isn’t a game. I’m in the hurt business.”
Augustine Mauras: “I truly thank Matt Remillard for fighting somebody like me. I’m not an easy cookie. He’s going to be in the toughest fight of his life. I’m going to put you (Remillard) on his ass. I’m here to fight this man! It’s going to be a helluva fight.”
Jose Antonio Rivera, CEO/promoter: “I appreciate the support we received for our last show and we’re looking ahead to booking our next show in June. I can’t really say anything about that, endnu. I want to thank our sponsors. My roots are here in Worcester and that’s why so many of the fighters on this show are from here. We aren’t signing fighters, just giving them a platform to fight. Vi er glade, lige nu, helping to provide them with a platform to go on to bigger and better things. Rivera Promotions Entertainment hopes to move fighters and allow them to showcase their skills. We’re very happy about this show. Remillard versus Mauras alone is worth the price of admission.”
Anthonee Rivera, President/matchmaker: “It’s been a lot of fun for us so far. We’re proud to bring boxing back to New England. There are a lot of great fighters on our April 1st card with top prospects, former Golden Gloves champs, top fighters like Matt Remillard and future world champions. All of these guys took the opponents they were offered, no cherry-picking, and that shows what kind of fighters they really are. Vi har 13 fights and don’t blink during any one of them.”
Bryan Daniels: “I’m a student of Worcester boxing and Jose Rivera was the most established fighter. He came from nothing to become world champion. Never in a million years did I think I’d be fighting on his card. I’m humbled. I was hoping to get an opponent with experience to bring the best out of me. This will be my first time fighting in Worcester to showcase my skills. I’m originally from Illinois but Worcester has a lot to offer, including Rivera Promotions Entertaining giving us a platform.”
Anthony Laureano: “I’m very thankful to be fighting on another Rivera Promotions Entertainment card. They did an awesome job last show and I’m grateful to be fighting again on their card. This will be a big test. Rivera Promotions gave me a platform to be signed by Star Boxing. Jose Rivera was a fighter and he knows what we need.”
Andino Ranse: “I have a fulltime job, go to the gym, and take care of my son. I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment for allowing me to fight. I also want to thank Carlos Garcia, he’s the man! Jose’s been my idol since I first stepped into the gym.”
Neal Sullivan: “I grew up with AJ and Jose has always been good to me. I wouldn’t be fighting if I didn’t trust them. They look out for fighters. I’m a student of the game and know the history of Worcester boxing. I look forward to bringing it April 1st.”
Derrick Whitley: “My father was a professional boxer and I’ve been around boxing my whole life watching him. Dette er min tid, the beginning of my journey.”
Luis Santiago: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment this opportunity. I’ve been ready since the last show (his opponent failed the pre-fight medical exam) and haven’t stopped working. April 1st will be the start of my pro career. It’s going to b e a great show and I’m going to end-up with a win.”
Mykqyan Williams: “Jeg er meget spændt. Træningslejr har været fremragende. Matt (Remillard) and myself have helped each get ready. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show.”
