Boxing saved the life of Two-Division World Champion “El Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera
COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Giugno 4, 2020) – Like many boxers, campione del mondo due divisioni "Il Gallo" Jose Antonio Rivera credits boxing for saving his life.
“Absolutely,” Rivera agreed. “After my mom passed away when I was 10 anni, 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 Duran rovesciato"Zucchero" Ray Leonard in 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 registrare amatoriale, highlighted by a bronze medal performance at the PAL Nationals.
“I never had big amateur aspirations but, naturalmente, 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.”
Novembre 7, 1992, Rivera made his pro debut, buttando giùFrancisco Mercedes in 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 Flores in 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, anche se, Rivera registered his first statement victory in 2001, buttando giùFrankie Randall (55-10-1) nel 10th round to retain his North American Boxing Association (Anche) 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 Trabant in the second round en route to winning a 12-round majority decision for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA). His reign, tuttavia, 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 combattimenti, the last coming at the age of 46.
“Jose’s USA Boxing experiences shaped him into the man of character he is today, dentro e fuori dal ring,"Ha dettoChris Tofflemire, 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 anni, I lived by myself: school, work, 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, anche se, 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.

NUTMEG POWER PREVAILS CONNECTICUT PROSPECTS RICHIE RIVERA & ANTHONY LAUREANO REMAIN UNDEFEATED
“NEW ENGLAND EXPLOSION” OFFICIAL RESULTS
SPRINGFIELD, Massa. (Dicembre 13, 2019) — Rising Connecticut starsRICHIE “POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN” RIVERA e“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, Massachusetts.
“New England Explosion,” presented byLA STAR BOXING DI JOE DEGUARDIA, sponsored by MGM Springfield, aired live in a first for New England Sports Network (NESNA), and streamed worldwide (excluding N.E.) suwww.FITE.TV.
Heavy-handed Rivera (ora 16-0, 12 KO) took his power up to the cruiserweight division against “MIGHTY” JOE JONES(ora 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, onestamente, 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.”
In caso di co-main, Laureano (ora 13-0, 4 KO), un 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, come al solito, 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, che, 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, anche se, 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; lui è difficile. This will build me into a better fighter. I did a lot of good things. The goal is to learn from every fight, Lo farò, and we’ll go back to the drawing board.”
Danbury, CT super lightweightOMAR “THE BEAST” BORDOY (ora 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 (ora 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, favorito città nataleDERRICK “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.”
Nel match della serata di apertura, Hartford welterweight prospectJEFFREY TORRES(ora 6-0, 4 KO) mantenuto intatto il suo record di imbattibilità, pitching a shutout for a 6-round unanimous decision over Brockton, MA journeymanANTONIO CHAVES FERNANDEZ(ora 9-40-4, 3 KO). Torres out-boxed Fernandez, who was buzzed several times, dall'inizio alla fine.
Brasiliano dei pesi massimi leggeriLEANDRO “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.

“NEW ENGLAND EXPLOSION”
LIVE ON NESN FROM MASSMUTUAL CENTER IN SPRINGFIELD, MA
SPONSORED BY MGM SPRINGFIELD
BOSTON (Dicembre 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) a dicembre 13 in an 8-round bout on a stacked “New England Explosion” card, at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.
“New England Explosion,” presented byLA STAR BOXING DI JOE DEGUARDIA and sponsored by MGM Springfield, will air live from Mass MutualCenter in a first for New England Sports Network (NESNA), a partire da 9 p.m. E / 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) la sua prima perdita,” 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.
"Sì,” 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, Dicembre. 10, fra 6:30-8:30 p.m. ET at Danbury Champs Gym in Danbury, CT to promote his Dec. 13th fight. Dambury Champs Gym is located at 128 E. Liberty St., Danbury, CT. The public is welcome.

gli appassionati di boxe hanno affollato la notte di Manchester Downtown Hotel Mercoledì a prendere in una notte spettacolare elite pugilato dilettantistico. Questa è stata l'ultima tappa di un tour di tre città di Boston e Springfield, Massachusetts e Manchester, New Hampshire. I combattimenti in programma presenti Team USA amatori che affrontano i migliori pugili dilettanti da Irlanda. Dalla campana finale, Irlanda è riuscito a finire le otto attacchi della serata con un punteggio cravatta, il loro miglior risultato del tour. Team USA ha vinto i primi due duali del tour a Boston e Springfield, rispettivamente, con il punteggio di 8-4 e 7-3.
scontri di mercoledì non erano tutti di vincere, tuttavia. Per la maggior parte dei pugili coinvolti è stata una grande opportunità per affinare le loro tecniche e un po 'tanto necessaria esperienza internazionale della concorrenza. Alcuni dei migliori interpreti del Mercoledì sera sarà anche probabilmente rappresentano i loro rispettivi paesi nel prossimo 2020 Olimpiadi.
L'evento principale della notte optional 2016 Youth World Championships medaglia di bronzo Richard Torrez dominando 3 ora irlandese Campione Nazionale Dean Gardiner. altezza torreggiante del combattente irlandese e lunga portata semplicemente non poteva superare il ritmo veloce e ottima posizione difensiva del più breve americana.
Torrez trascorso il primo turno di esecuzione finte magistrale e punzone scivolare durante aver eseguito con alcuni ganci bombardamenti. Torrez cambiato livelli, usate movimento della testa liscia, e non lasciare mai il piede dal gas Gardiner arrancava in avanti con un approccio non equilibrato e selvaggio nei primi anni andando. Un colpo sordo del corpo collegato per l'irlandese nel primo, ma non molto altro.
Torrez mantenuto il ritmo di lavoro pratica nel frame successivo, scatenando ganci destro e sinistro e di atterraggio in modo pulito per gran parte del turno. Ha segnato al corpo e la testa facilmente, anche se gran parte del round ha visto il suo avversario che copre fino e in attesa di aperture. Una scala a sinistra da Torrez mandato il suo avversario trattura per un attimo, ma l'uomo più alto recuperato e ha fatto atterrare un gancio fenomenale sinistro alla testa di Torrez mentre stava combattendo fuori le corde. Gardiner ha cercato di atterrare pugni per lo più dritti verso l'esterno e sembrava incapace di consegnare i suoi pugni in stretta.
Il terzo round ha visto entrambi i combattenti slugging fuori fino a quando la campana finale con una delle più selvagge avanti e indietro scambi della notte, ma era troppo poco e troppo tardi per Gardiner. Egli non può far altro suo range composto in.

Torrez ha guadagnato la decisione unanime vittoria con la sua performance e non ha preso più di una manciata di colpi duri nel processo.
Kelly Harrington, un campionato del mondo medaglia d'argento da Irlanda, probabilmente avuto performance più magistrale della sua squadra in crociera ad una vittoria decisione unanime su Stacia Suttles in attacco della serata di apertura. Suttles ha lottato per mantenere se stessa al poligono di punzonatura ideale contro l'attacco inesorabile di Harrington al primo turno, spendere gran parte dei tre minuti bobbing e tessitura per cercare di evitare le combinazioni croccanti del suo avversario. Suttles ha fatto atterrare il suo jab abbastanza coerente, e lei ha cominciato a mettere un po 'in ritardo combo insieme a tutto tondo, ma Harrington è un esperto assoluto quando si tratta di testa movimento. Sembrava come se Floyd Mayweather, Jr. era uno dei suoi allenatori come lei ha utilizzato una tecnica hands-bassi con finte costanti, pugno scivolare e il livello di cambio. Il primo turno ha visto il suo atterraggio un bel sinistro dritto alla testa e una fantastica combinazione di corpo e la punzonatura di testa che è atterrato solidamente. Ha scatenato feroci alcuni ganci, anche se pochi erano voltafieno selvatici. Qui di seguito è una foto di Harrington durante uno dei pochi brevi momenti di lotta in cui ha portato entrambe le mani per proteggere il suo viso.
