COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Červen 4, 2020) – Like many boxers, dvě divize mistr světa „El Gallo“ Jose Antonio Riveracredits boxing for saving his life.
“Absolutely,” Rivera agreed. “After my mom passed away when I was 10 let, I gave up on life and my decision-making reflected that: hanging around with the wrong crowd including gang members, consuming alcohol between the ages of 10 and 15. I was definitely going in the wrong direction.
“I never thought I had a future until I started boxing. It’s hard to say what I’d be doing if I had never boxed, but by the way I was living, I’d probably be in jail or dead by now.”
Born in Philadelphia, Rivera lived in Puerto Rico and Springfield, MA, prior to him moving to Worcester, MA, where he met a man who helped change his life, Carlos Garcia, who was in charge of a special boxing program at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club.
Rivera had started boxing at the age of 14 ½ in a basement with his friend, Felix Lopez. He had fallen in love with boxing after watchingRoberto Duranupset“Sugar” Ray Leonardin their first fight. The young Puerto Rican-American specifically used his amateur boxing experience to prepare for the professional ranks. Garcia, who is in the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame, put him in a novice match after only one amateur fight in order to put Rivera on the fast track, because he understood that Rivera dreamed of becoming a world champion as a professional. Rivera finished with a 35-15 amatérský záznam, highlighted by a bronze medal performance at the PAL Nationals.
“I never had big amateur aspirations but, samozřejmě, I wanted to win every fight I competed in,” Rivera said. “Once I didn’t qualify for the Olympic Trials, my plan was to turn pro. I didn’t know how much the amateurs would groom me to be a successful professional boxer. I’m glad I listened to my coaches, otherwise I would have turned pro earlier, because I would get frustrated with the politics of the amateurs. I hated losing, but I hated losing even more when I knew that I should have won. After three years together (with Garcia) in the amateurs and gaining a great wealth of experience traveling all over New England, the country and even fighting in Canada, I saw all types of styles and talented boxers that helped me as a pro. Carlos is like a father figure to me and during all of our training and travels, he was always in my head, building me up to become a good boxer, but also to help me become a better man.”
Listopadu 7, 1992, Rivera made his pro debut, plenitFrancisco Mercedesin the second round. He went on to win his first 23 pro bouts, including the Massachusetts State welterweight title in 1995. His first pro loss was to veteran Philadelphia fighterWillie Wise (20-3-4), who won a controversial 10-round split decision at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Rivera had proven that he was more than a prospect in his first loss, losing a close decision (98-95, 94-97, 94-96) to an opponent that upset Mexican iconJulio Cesar Chavez (102-3-2) only three years later.
Showing the same resiliency that stayed with Rivera his entire career, two fights later Rivera stoppedGilberto Floresin two rounds to capture the International Boxing Organization (IBO) world welterweight championship. Rivera extended his new win streak to seven, before losing back to back fights. Four fights later, ačkoli, Rivera registered his first statement victory in 2001, plenitFrankie Randall (55-10-1) v 10thround to retain his North American Boxing Association (Také) crown in his first defense.
Now promoted by legendary Don King, Rivera traveled across the Atlantic Ocean in September 2003 to Germany, where few Americans were able to win. Rivera proved early that he meant business, dropping previously undefeatedMichel Trabantin the second round en route to winning a 12-round majority decision for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA). His reign, nicméně, didn’t last long. In his first defense, Rivera lost a 12-round split decision at home in Worcester to challengerLuis Collazo (24-1)
Rivera moved up one weight class for his next fight, showing the resiliency that was a staple during his career for his next fight, also at home, against WBA junior middleweight World championAlexandro Garcia (25-1).
In his next fight and first defense of his third world title, Rivera was stopped for the first time in his pro career, by new champTravis Simms (24-0), and then he was knocked out byDaniel Santos (24-0) in round eight of their WBA junior middleweight title eliminator.
Rivera retired in 2008 only to make a comeback in 2001, after which he retired again until returning for two fights in Worcester to complete his pro career with 50 boje, the last coming at the age of 46.
“Jose’s USA Boxing experiences shaped him into the man of character he is today, jak dovnitř a ven z kruhu,"ŘeklChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “He took the road less traveled for a world champion, and in doing so he showcased his toughness and perseverance that made him a great example for today’s USA Boxers.”

Rivera was a true working world champion. Few world champions also had full-time jobs during their title reigns. Rivera used vacation time, as well as personal and sick days, when he went to training camp for some of his major fights.
“I always had a good work ethic growing up,” he explained. “When I moved to Worcester at 16 let, I lived by myself: škola, práce, and then to the Boys & Girls Club to train. I kept the same work ethic I had at 19 when I turned pro. I became a father at 20, so providing for my family was essential. Although it was hard, I knew boxing wasn’t going to last forever, and I was lucky enough to find a good job working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Trial Courts. It made for long days when I was training, especially when I was fighting for or defending my world championships. In the end, ačkoli, keeping my job was the best decision I could have made for me and my family.”
Rivera. who was an Associate Court Officer for years and promoted last year to Assistant Chief Court Officer, is still involved in boxing. He and his oldest son, A.J. Rivera, own and operate a boxing promotional company, Rivera Promotions Entertainment, to give young fighters in his area opportunities to fight more often and at home. Jose occasionally drops by the Boys & Girls Club to visit his former coaches, Garcia andRocky Gonzalez, to support their young talent. He also goes to his friendKendrick Ball’s gym, Camp Be Right, to give young fighters there a few tips and to keep in shape (not for another comeback).
Jose Antonio Rivera will be best known for his toughness and determination, which led him into a different life, including three world championships and a wonderful life he never would have enjoyed.

SPRINGFIELD, Hmota. (Prosinec 13, 2019) — Rising Connecticut starsRICHIE “POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN” RIVERA a“ACTION“ ANTHONY LAUREANOboth remained undefeated with impressive performance tonight on a solid “New England Explosion” card in front of an enthusiastic crowd at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.
“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.) nawww.FITE.TV.
Heavy-handed Rivera (nyní 16-0, 12 KO) took his power up to the cruiserweight division against “MIGHTY” JOE JONES(nyní 11-2, 8 KO), 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, poctivě, 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.”
V co-hlavní události, Laureano (nyní 13-0, 4 KO), a 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion from nearby East Hartford, CT., defeated Texas super lightweightANGEL “AZTEC WARRIOR” HERNANDEZ (17-14-2, 11 KO) in a toe-to-toe battle from the opening . This TV-friendly fight could have been fought in a proverbial phone booth. Laureano, as usual, 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, kdo, 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, ačkoli, 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; je to těžké. This will build me into a better fighter. I did a lot of good things. The goal is to learn from every fight, Budu, and we’ll go back to the drawing board.”
Danbury, CT super lightweightOMAR “THE BEAST” BORDOY (nyní 10-1, 3 KO) 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 (nyní 11-11, 8 KO).
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, rodné město oblíbenáDERRICK “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.”
V úvodním zápasu večera, Hartford welterweight prospectJEFFREY TORRES(nyní 6-0, 4 KO) držel neporažený rekord neporušený, pitching a shutout for a 6-round unanimous decision over Brockton, MA journeymanANTONIO CHAVES FERNANDEZ(nyní 9-40-4, 3 KO). Torres out-boxed Fernandez, who was buzzed several times, od začátku do konce.
Brazilský Lehká těžká váhaLEANDRO “BUSCAPE” SILVA (2-3, 1 KO) ruined the homecoming for local fighterANGEL ‘ THE BLACK RICAN” VAZQUEZ (0-2) In the walk-out bout, Silva trapped Vazquez on the ropes in the fourth round.

BOSTON (Prosinec 9, 2019) — Unlike most boxing prospects, lightweight prospectOMAR “THE BEAST” BORDOY (9-1, 3 KO) is always willing to take risks, even fighting undefeated opponents, instead of simply padding his record.
Bordoy, fighting out of Danbury, CT, meets undefeated Irish sensation“SLICK” VICTOR RABEI (8-0, 2 KO) prosince 13 in an 8-round bout on a stacked “New England Explosion” card, at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.
“New England Explosion,” presented byJOE DEGUARDIA’S STAR BOXINGand sponsored by MGM Springfield, will air live from Mass MutualCenter in a first for New England Sports Network (NESN), začíná na 9 p.m. A / 6 p.m. PT. As the home of the Boston Bruins and Boston Red Sox, NESN is available nationally on a sports subscription basis.
“I fought an undefeated fighter before and it was cool to give him (3-0 Terell Bostic) Jeho první ztráta,” the 24-year-old Bordoy said. “An undefeated record could be padded. Rabei is a good fighter and I expect a very good fight. He’s a good fighter who is good defensively. He’ll want to be fighting on the outside because he’s 5’ 9” and I’m 5’ 5”. But he’s coming down in weight and we’re fighting at my natural fighting weight (135 lbs.) I’ve fought taller opponents before. It looks like he has a little power. We’re both stepping up.
“I’m excited to be fighting on live television for the first time. I’m a kid who came from nothing and now I’m fighting on TV. I’ve fought in pre-recorded fights before, but this will be my first on live television. It makes everything even more exciting. I’m glad to be fighting on this NESN platform.”
Bordoy has won two in a row since losing a disputed 6-round split decision last April to Romain Tomas (7-2).
“I didn’t get into boxing to go undefeated,” remarked Bordoy, who will be fighting in his first scheduled 8-rounder. “Only a few fighters have ever retired undefeated. A loss doesn’t bother most greats. It’s part of my developmental stage. I’d rather suffer a loss early in my career than later. I certainly don’t feel like a defeated fighter going into this fight. I learned a lot about myself and what to do better from that loss.”
Cutting weight for this fight, Bordoy didn’t really enjoy Thanksgiving. In fact, he ate alone because it was too difficult dieting and eating with others. So, he had brown rice and baked chicken.
"Jo,,” he added. “I didn’t get to eat much. I’m going to splurge this fight. And I’ll get an early Christmas present when my hand is raised at the end of the fight.”
BORDOY OPEN WORKOUT DEC. 10 IN DANBURY, CT.
Bordoy will hold an open workout Tuesday, Prosince. 10, mezi 6:30-8:30 p.m. ET at Danbury Champs Gym in Danbury, CT to promote his Dec. 13thfight. Dambury Champs Gym is located at 128 A. Liberty St., Danbury, CT. The public is welcome.

Boxing fans packed the Manchester Downtown Hotel Wednesday night to take in a spectacular night of elite amateur boxing. This was the final stop on a three-city tour of Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts and Manchester, New Hampshire. The scheduled fights featured Team USA amateurs facing the best amateur boxers from Ireland. By the final bell, Ireland managed to finish the eight bouts of the evening with a tie score, their best outcome of the tour. Team USA won the first two duals of the tour in Boston and Springfield, příslušně, podle skóre 8-4 a 7-3.
Wednesday’s fights were not all about winning, nicméně. Pro většinu zúčastněných boxerů to byla skvělá příležitost k vyladění jejich technik a získání potřebných zkušeností z mezinárodních soutěží. Někteří z nejlepších interpretů středeční noci budou pravděpodobně v nadcházejícím období zastupovat své země 2020 Olympijské hry.
Hlavní událost noci představovala 2016 Bronzový medailista z mistrovství světa mládeže Richard Torrez dominující trojnásobnému irskému národnímu šampionovi Deanovi Gardinerovi. Výška a dlouhý dosah irského bojovníka prostě nemohly překonat rychlé tempo a vynikající obrannou pozici kratšího Američana.
Torrez strávil první kolo mistrovským fintováním a úderem, zatímco skóroval pomocí několika bombardovacích háků. Torrez změnil úrovně, použitý úhledný pohyb hlavy, a nikdy neopustil nohu z plynu, jak se Gardiner v rané fázi hnal vpřed s nevyváženým a divokým přístupem. V první se Ir spojil s úderem těla, ale nic jiného.
Torrez udržel rychlou pracovní rychlost v dalším snímku, rozpoutání levého a pravého háku a čisté přistání po většinu kola. Snadno skóroval do těla a hlavy, ačkoli velká část kola viděla, jak se jeho protivník kryje a čeká na otvory. Jeden rovně vlevo od Torreze poslal svého protivníka na okamžik k navíjení, ale vyšší muž se vzpamatoval a přistál fenomenální levý hák na hlavu Torreze, když bojoval z provazů. Gardiner se pokusil přistát většinou přímé údery na vnější stranu a zdálo se, že není schopen své údery zblízka otočit.
Třetí kolo vidělo, jak to oba bojovníci tloukli až do závěrečného zvonu s jednou z nejdivočejších směn noci a noci, ale pro Gardinera bylo příliš málo a příliš pozdě. Prostě nemohl vytočit svůj rozsah. Torrez svého oponenta jen přepracoval a přistál s několika úhlednými háky, aby mohl vyrazit svými bušícími pravými a levými háky. Úder používal střídmě, ale efektivně, utrácí většinu finálního rámce za cílení na Gardinerovo tělo. Torrez si svým výkonem vysloužil vítězství v jednomyslném rozhodnutí a v tomto procesu nepřijal více než hrst tvrdých střel.
Kelly Harrington, stříbrný medailista z Irska, pravděpodobně měla nejchytřejší výkon svého týmu při plavbě k jednomyslnému rozhodnutí vítězství nad Stacia Suttles v úvodním zápase noci. Suttles se snažila udržet si ideální děrovací rozsah proti neutuchajícímu útoku Harringtona v prvním kole, trávila většinu tří minut houpáním a tkáním, aby se pokusila vyhnout ostrým kombinacím svého protivníka. Suttlesová přistála její úder docela důsledně, a začala dávat dohromady několik kombinací pozdě v kole, ale Harrington je absolutní odborník, pokud jde o pohyb hlavy. Vypadala, jako by Floyd Mayweather, Jr. byl jedním z jejích trenérů, protože používala techniku nízkých rukou s neustálými fintami, proklouznutí úderu a změna úrovně. První kolo ji vidělo přistát krásnou rovnou zleva k hlavě a fantastickou kombinací těla a hlavy, která pevně přistála. Uvolnila několik divokých háků, ačkoli několik z nich bylo divokých senátorů. Níže je obrázek Harringtona během jednoho z několika krátkých okamžiků boje, kdy zvedla obě ruce, aby si chránila obličej.
Suttles ve druhém kole zachytil Harringtona několika pohledy a flush výstřely, ale zdálo se, že má potíže sehnat moc za svými údery. Se svým soupeřem vyměnila pár slušných pravých rukou, ale na konci kola bylo jasné, že kvůli řemeslnosti svého soupeře prostě nebude schopna najít v boji žádný rytmus. Harrington strávila stejné kolo zdokonalováním svého sortimentu 1-2 kombinace kombinací a práv divokého olova. Harrington také o několik okamžiků později zaznamenal několik silných levých háků s dokonalým obrázkem rovného pravého přistání.
Třetí kolo bylo více stejné pro oba bojovníky. Suttles pracoval hodně z rámu, aby sledoval svého soupeře, ale pokaždé, když vyložila, zaplatila za to. Jeden obzvláště pevný levý hák přistál pozdě v kole, ale to nestačilo. Harrington strávil většinu posledních tří minut pokusem spojit se s pravými křídly. Později v kole přistála s jedním ze svých nejtvrdších úderů boje a na okamžik omráčila svého soupeře před zvonem, aby boj ukončil. Harrington si vzal jednomyslné rozhodnutí a vypadá, že je jedním z nejslibnějších boxerů na svou váhu v boji o 2020 Olympijské hry.
V dalším ženském boji na kartě hrál roli další příklad toho, že nějaká nevýhoda byla nějaká nevýhoda. Tým USA Leah Cooper (#2 Americká žena střední váhy) vyhýbal se a předstíral, aby se vyhnul dlouhému dosahu vyššího Aoife Burke. Cooper bojoval z polokrku, takže bylo pro Burke těžké přistát s jakoukoli významnou silou na většině jejích úderů. Osmnásobný národní irský šampion
měla v boji několik míst, kde znovu získala kontrolu nad akcí, ale Cooper provedl správné úpravy, aby minimalizoval hrozby.
Cooper zahájil rojový útok a zahájil první kolo, vystřelit 1-2 komba a zálohování Burke. Po celou dobu zůstávala trpělivá a vytrvalá, zůstat nízko a mimo dosah výstřelů Burke. Burke vykazoval vynikající obranu, ale dokázala házet a přistávat jen po jednom úderu. Během celého kola předváděla ostrý úder, ale Coopera to prostě neodradilo. Burke měla nejlepší okamžiky kola směrem k závěrečnému zvonu, míchání střel do těla a hlavy, včetně tvrdého pravého háku na hlavu.
Burke vyšel na druhé kolo v plamenech, zaútočit na Coopera rychlou palbou 1-2 komba a háčky. Také se mísila v úhledném háku, který našel Cooperovu bradu. Cooper bouři přečkal, jen krátce padl do pasti. Znovu získala klid, přistál několik vynikajících protiběžných úderů, a to, co mohlo být Burkeovým nejlepším kolem, se stalo nejhorším pro irského šampiona. Cooper zůstal klidný a chladný, navzdory tomu, že udělala některé z nejtvrdších střel, její soupeř v boji přistál. Přistála skvěle 1-2 komba po Burkeově útoku zmizela, nakonec otevřel ránu poblíž Burkeho levého oka a zakrvácel jí nos. Cooperův tvrdý úder na tělo také způsobil, že se Burke krátce přikrčil na plátno po pevném pravém háku.
Burke zahájil třetí kolo trochu pozdě poté, co se nechal odhlásit a vyčistit lékařem z ringu. Znovu začala s přívalem bombardovacích úderů. Zamířila na tělo a hlavu, ale Cooper se znovu shromáždil a vrátil se do práce. Dobře změnila úrovně a začala se spojovat s rozzuřenými háčky, nejprve k tělu a potom zpět k hlavě. Také pokračovala v aktivním úderu a přistála několikrát 1-2 komba. Burke v závěrečných okamžicích boje zvládl další pozdní nával, ale Cooper stále odešel s jednomyslným vítězstvím rozhodnutí.
Tým USA Lightweight James Browning přišel do zápasu ve středu večer s irským Francisem Clearym jako dvojnásobným šampiónem USA v boxu. Cleary, devítinásobný irský národní šampion, představoval Browningův první trhák na mezinárodní soutěži. Oba bojovníci měli své chvíle, ale bylo by to, že by Browning vyhrál na konci tří zábavných, sem a tam akce.
Browning strávil první kolo stanovením vyšší pracovní rychlosti než jeho protivník a spoustou pohybu, aby se vyhnul útoku Clearyho. Rovněž přistál důsledně, míchání jeho těla a hlavy střel dobře. Ačkoli vyhrál kolo, Browning vzal spoustu rizik a zaplatil za to. Cleary si vybral jeho skvrny a uvolnil čistší a silnější údery, když byl schopen přistát. Prostě se nemohl dostatečně připojit, a téměř z pokaždé, když skončil v těsné blízkosti, se dostal z potíží.
Do druhého snímku jasně dopadly další ostré bomby, začíná být agresivnější a začíná sledovat svého neustále se pohybujícího soupeře. Tlukot levého háku na konci kola se spojil s Browningovou hlavou a zapůsobil na nabitý dům fanoušků. Stále, Browning zůstal zaneprázdněn a vedl si dobře při tloucicích výměnách mezi dvěma bojovníky. Byl často divoký, ale pracovní výkon zabránil Clearymu v krádeži kola.
Cleary vyšel do třetího kola s obnovenou dravostí, zapojit se do divoké rvačky s Browningem. Bylo to nejlepší kolo boje o Clearyho, a Browning nedokázal udržet nepolapitelnost, kterou předvedl v předchozích kolech. Irská stíhačka přistála v kole další vzkvétající levý hák, představoval perfektně načasované čítače, a pořád praštil až ke zvonu. Na konci boje se Browning rozhodně zdál frustrovaný a unavený. Stále, dva ze tří soudců si byli jisti, že si výhru zaslouží, vydělávat rozdělené rozhodnutí vítězství.
Příští zápas postavil osminásobného irského národního šampiona Wayna Kelleyho proti třináctinásobnému americkému národnímu šampionovi Adrianovi Bentonovi v těsné bitvě welterové váhy. Oba mladí bojovníci měli v zápase světlá místa, ale Kelleymu se podařilo chytře vyděsit vítězství v rozhodnutí o rozdělení, odvážné úsilí.
Benton měl lepší první kolo díky rojovému útoku. He worked in and out of range with 1-2 combos and sparing hooks. He used all his angles well, pivoting out of trouble and into effective range with ease. Kelley struggled to land counters until the final moments of the round when he landed his own flurry of 1-2 komba.
Kelley started the second round with much more energy and poise. He landed early and often, winging left hands and opening up a cut on Benton’s lip. Benton slipped some of the more dangerous punches, blocked shots well and landed some crisp, hard shots of his own. His best exchange was a left and right hook to the head that landed near the middle of the round.
Kelley slowed down a bit in the final round, unable to find his ideal range. He landed some hard right hands, a well-placed body shot and unloaded with a late flurry. Benton kept busy early in the round and artfully ducked under a bombing right hook from Kelley. The judges seemed more impressed with Kelley’s composure in the final two rounds as Benton kept getting drawn in to sloppy brawling. Kelley edged out the win by a 2-1 margin.
The light welterweights came next, producing another tight contest. Ireland’s Caoimhin Ferguson fought Team USA’s Charlie Sheehy with a slightly better tactical approach, earning another split decision victory for his squad.
Sheehy took on a more cautious and patient approach in the first round, waiting for the perfect moment to throw and land. His best punches of the round included a hard right hand to the body and a starching jab. Ferguson put in more work in the frame, scoring on multiple hooks to the head and unleashing wild and crazy flurries a few times. One particular left hook crashed hard into Sheehy’s head in the final moments of the round.
Ferguson landed some decent shots in the second round, but Sheehy was much more composed. He worked around the wild-swinging, hard-charging assault by keeping his distance and scoring from outside with some crisp rights to the chin. The fighters exchanged some hooks to the body and wound up in a clinch before the end of the round.
Sheehy struggled to string punches together in the final round. Though he had a nice straight right hand working for him, Ferguson was able to penetrate his defense. Ferguson landed a thumping left hook early and went on to land a few more bombs before losing his mouthpiece in one exchange. Likely knowing he needed to finish strong to get the judges on his side, Ferguson rushed in with a final torrent of hooks in the final seconds. He earned a 2-1 decision win for his tenacity.
Welterweights Kieron Molloy (Irsko) and Freudis Rojas, Jr. (Spojené státy americké) squared off in another bout. Both fighters are previous World Championship Bronze Medalists with Molloy also claiming nine Irish National titles and Rojas winning the US nationals 10 times so far. It was another close shave win for Team Ireland.
Rojas was clearly the more active fighter in the first round. He used a consistent jab and increased his work rate through the frame. He ket busy on offense right up until the bell. Molloy began the round winging shots and trying to figure out his range. He unleashed a bit late in some of the more fierce exchanges, couldn’t figure out how to get his combinations going, and had a tough time catching up with the faster Rojas. Molloy did land some excellent straight lefts, ačkoli.
The next round went much better for the Irish southpaw. He started with an uptick in his punch output, though he still struggled to land combos. At one point in the round, Molloy connected with a huge straight left, followed up by a nice power jab, slowing down his opponent. Rojas kept coming forward but couldn’t capitalize on scoring opportunities in the round. A late flurry of punches from Rojas wasn’t enough for him to steal the round.
Rojas landed some excellent shots in the final round, going downstairs to the body frequently. He also caught Molloy against the ropes, blasting him with straight punches. Molloy fought the smarter round, ačkoli, picking the best times to throw and often catching Rojas with his hands down. His best exchange of the round featured a huge 1-2 connecting to the head and a wild left hook to the head. A final swarm of punches from the Irish fighter closed the show and earned him a 2-1 split decision win.
Team USA’s Nikita Ababiy scored a hard-fought win in a wild affair before the main event with Team Ireland’s Gerard French. The first round saw Ababiy jabbing well. The American came into the fight with a very non-traditional boxing stance with one hand low, but his posture seemed to be effective in luring his opponent into punching range. Ababiy landed some booming hooks and a nice left uppercut that backed up French. Mezitím, French concentrated on trying to land counters. He had a lower work rate but also didn’t take too much punishment.
French spent the second round trying to exchange in close quarters. He landed more shots later in the round, including some heated right hooks in the final moments. Ababiy connected with some thumping shots in the round and showcased some nice defense as well. He mixed up his shots to the body and head, throwing and covering up to wait for the next opening. Ababiy landed a nice left hook to the head followed up with a picture perfect right uppercut in the final minute. He ended the round well on his way to his first win.
The final round saw Ababiy slow down a bit, but he was still effective enough to carry the frame. French managed some crisp left hooks to the head, but he couldn’t figure out the different style his opponent brought to the ring. The American cruised to the unanimous decision win.
The night also began with the only stoppage on the card thanks to a wild brawl between local 132-pound Manchester, NH novices Michael Correa and Abhisek Thapa. Correa took off across the ring upon hearing the opening bell and unleashed one wild flurry after another. Thapa didn’t let the tornado swallow him up, ačkoli. He ust covered up and waited for his opportunities. It only took a couple minutes for Correa to start tiring out from the relentless attack. Thapa then waded in to land some of the most impressive shots of the night, forcing the referee to stop the fight for three standing eight counts before the end finally came with a whirlwind of power punches from Thapa.
There was also a guest appearance made by the boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. still calls his toughest opponent ever, Emanuel Augustus (3-34-6, 20 KO). Augustus participated in a reunion the previous night with “Irský” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 KO), celebrating one of the best fights in the history of the sport, which took place on July 13, 2001. Augustus stuck around for the fights and even came into the ring to showcase that he still has the same punching prowess that made him one of the most entertaining fighters of his era.
“We learned from this tour that we’re right up there with the best teams in the world,” Team USA head coach Billy Walsh said. “Team Ireland is a very good, young team. We’re going to have a good team to send to Tokyo (2020 Olympijské hry). I’m proud of my team. They all worked very hard. We didn’t have some of our best boxers because some were competing in an International tournament We do have a good crop of 18-19-20 year-olds who will make up our 2020 Olympic team.”
Team Ireland also brought their own production crew to film all the action for those who couldn’t be there:

Emanuel Augustus joins special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger to complete memorable fight
Březen 21 v Manchesteru, NH
COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Březen 19, 2018) – Retired pro boxerEmanuel Augustushas confirmed his attendance this week at a USA Boxing-hosted reunion of the 2001 Boj roku, associated with the final stop on the 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour festivities in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The 2001 Fight of the Year was held July 13, 2001, at Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton, NH., and it is still considered one of the greatest matches ever broadcast on ESPN. “Irský” Micky Wardwon an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up with “boxing cult” heroEmanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judges’ scoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
“Ward versus Augustus was truly the event of the year in boxing and we’re so happy it was held right here in New Hampshire,” said Stephen, who has been in his position as chairman since 1974, “Micky was losing the fight until the later rounds. As the chairperson of he commission, I checked the judges’ scorecards after six or seven rounds and Micky was losing. Pak, Micky caught Augustus, dropped and really hurt him. He went on to win a great fight.”
The high-profile win positioned Ward for what turned out to be his epic Gatti trilogy, while Augustus went on to become one of the most dangerous, upset-minded opponents in boxing. Vizita, Augustus and the third man in the ring that night, Hall of Fame rozhodčího Steve Smoger, will host as USA Alumni Association event Tuesday, Moře. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. v Manchesteru), začíná na 6 p.m. A.
The trio will also be joined by two others closely associated with the 2001 Boj roku, Chairman of the New Hampshire Boxing and Wrestling Commission, Bobby Stephen, as well as International matchmaker, Eric Bottjer, who made the Ward-Augustus fight in 2001.
All five will also attend the USA Boxing Alumni Association event as well as the following night’s (Moře. 21) USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire.
SPECIAL MANCHESTER AMATEUR BOXING MATCH ADDED
A special lightweight novice WILL open the competition, showcasing two Manchester amateur boxers, Abhisek Thapa (Title Boxing Club) a Michael Correa (Manchester PAL).
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at7 p.m. EST, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.
Vstupenky jsou cenově na $20.00 pro obecné přijetí, $30 for reserved ringside seats, and available to purchase on Seacoast Ticket Agency’s website, www.seacoastticket.com, the official ticket distributor for the event.
“We’re so happy to have the USA-Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour here in Manchester,” Stephen added. “The talent on both squads is extraordinary. We’re honored to have these two teams here for this big event. It’s a credit to USA Boxing and (special events director) Al Valenti, who has done so much over the years for boxing in New Hampshire. Boxing was very popular here many years ago. People turned out in droves to attend the Golden Gloves. There’s a boxing resurgence and that’s so important to teach young people discipline, respect and conditioning that’s so needed today. These amateurs do their best for the love of boxing; they aren’t in it for money like professionals.
“Micky is honorable, a real nice person. It means a lot for local fans and boxers to meet him. We were fortunate to have him fight in New Hampshire on serval occasions and nobody who watched his fight Augustus or his trilogy withArturo Gattiwill never forget.”.
