DERRY, азот на h. (Август 30, 2020) – Two regional title bouts, supported by several stay-busy fights, highlighted Granite Chin Promotion’s first pro boxing event since this past November, ‘Return to Derry,” last night (Сб, Август. 29), in front of a near capacity crowd at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

Two world champions were in attendance to support the fighters, undefeated reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) шампион в средна категория Димитър “Бу Бу” Andrade и“Гало” Хосе Антонио Ривера, запасният 3-време, 2-division title holder.

“I’m glad that tonight we took as step forward towards normalcy,” промотор Крис Траети коментира. Sports help to bring people together and tonight we had a packed house with people of all races, religions, and creeds. I’m happy these Americans enjoyed themselves here tonight.”

Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe was crowned New England heavyweight champion by way of an 8-round unanimous decision over Tracey “Титан” Johnson в основното събитие.

Rolfe vs. Johnson II was a rematch of a 6-round majority draw last November in Quincy, Massachusetts. A lot more was at stake in the rematch, въпреки че, because the N.E. heavyweight title was on the line. Boston southpaw Johnson, the half-brother of Andrade, methodically boxed, while Maine-resident Rolfe came forward throwing bombs, and their contrast of styles made for a entertaining fight.

The elusive Johnson started finding his range in the fourth round, connecting with combinations as Rolfe appeared to tire, but he got his second wind and continued to be aggressive, often pinning Johnson on the ropes. The two evenly matched fighters went back and forth in the latter half of the fight, although Rolfe pressed the action and Johnson countered. Neither appeared to be hurt at any point during the bout., Both let loose in the eighth and final round, leaving nothing in the tank. Rolfe’s non-stop attack and turned out to be the difference in this match-up.

Ryan DiBartolomeo captured the vacant New Hampshire welterweight title, taking a 6-round split decision over Kris Jacobs, в съпътстващото събитие. “I live in Massachusetts but all my fights (3-0-1) have been in New Hampshire and I train in Nashua (NH),” DiBartolomeo said after the fight. “Fighting in New Hampshire is like fighting at home and now I’m the New Hampshire welterweight champ.”

DiBartolemeo quickly came out of the corner and soon dropped Jacobs for an 8-count. Jacobs made it through the opening round, but he was unable to avoid the free-swinging DiBartolemeo’s strong right hand, peppering his opponents head, в две кръгли. Jacobs settled down in the third, picked-up the pace in the fourth, and started letting his hands go more in the fifth, landing more effectively on his aggressive foe. The two fighters went at it toe-to-toe in the final round and DiBartolemeo closed the show.

New England middleweight champion Кендрик Бол, Jr., fighting light heavyweight Tahuk Taylor, displayed his skill set to the maximum, blasting his opponent to the mat with a sweet straight right, again with a beautiful left hook, and he was about to close the show when refereeJackie Morell mercifully ended the fight with 13-seconds left in round one.

Popular junior welterweight Микрофон “Bad Man” OHan, Jr. did just about everything but stop gritty Dewayne Мъдростта, who was penalized two points and officially floored once. But he survived, albeit losing a lop-sided 6-round unanimous decision to Ohan.

Нова Англия Златни ръкавици шампион Francis “Frank The Tank” Hogan dismissed Rashan Wisdom, who went down on the canvas twice before his corner threw in the towel. Hogan is a tall, lanky southpaw who is well schooled and now 2-0 (2 Нокаута).

In a spirited fight, непобеден в полутежката категория Edet “Татко” Mkpanam (4-0, 3 Нокаута) was relentless against a game Саул “Spider” Almeida, one of the top mixed-martial-arts fighters in New England. Mkpanan dropped Almeida in the first two rounds on his way to a tough 4-round unanimous decision.

Promising Boston lightweight prospect Джонатан Depina outclassed Theo “The Unholy Truth” Desjardin, flooring him early and finishing him off soon after with a blistering shot, to improve to 2-0 (2 Нокаута).

В средна Anthony Concepcion won by way of a third-round disqualification when his opponent, про-дебютирайки Caleb Denham, ignored the referee’s instructions to continue fighting.

В средна Larry “Slomoshun” Ковач, fighting out of Dallas, recorded his first victory in more than nine years, taking a 4-round unanimous decision from Исус “Сокът” Cintron. The 41-year-old Smith, 0-39-2 during his winless streak, dropped Anderson in the first round.


Larry Smith celebrated after his first win in 9 години

Texas light heavyweight Bryan Vera нокаутиран Mike Anderson with a big right hand early in round one. Рефер Leo Gerstel immediately waved off the count right after Anderson hit the mat. Vera, who is known for his participating in The Contender телевизионно риалити шоу, has defeated world champions Sergio Mora (два пъти), then-undefeated Andy Lee и Serhiy Dzinziruk during his 16-year pro career.

Veteran junior middleweight Cliff “Magician” McPherson had no tricks for Тайрън “Ръцете на Stone” Luckey because he was disqualified in the second round by referee Morrell for repeated holding.

Opening the night was a cruiserweight match between Larry “Наемен убиец” Прайър и Francisco Neto. It didn’t take long for Pryor, whose cousin was the late, Зала на славата Арон “Hawk” Прайър, put down Neto with a nicely placed left hook. Neto beat the count but stood on wobbly legs, leading referee Gerstel to halt the fight at the 35-second mark of the opening round.

“NEW ENGLAND’S FUTURE 4” РЕЗУЛТАТИ

 

Gabriel Gonzaga (R) won his pro boxing debut
WORCESTER, Маса. (Октомври 29, 2017) – Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga has a successful pro boxing debut last night (Събота, Октомври. 28) in the co-featured event on the “New England’s Future 4” карта, представена от Rivera Промоции Развлечения (RPE), at DCU Center, Exhibition Hall, в Уорчестър.
6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (MA), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, на Тампа (FL). Gonzaga stalked the southpaw Santiago, landing some hard shots in the opening round. The heavy-handed Gonzaga picked up the pace in the third and his upset-minded opponent responded in a positive fashion. Both fighters exchanged freely in the fourth and final round, neither was hurt during the contest, and Gonzaga was awarded a win by four-round majority decision.
“I thought I’d be more relaxed in the ring like I had been in the gym,” Gonzaga said. “I did my best and came away with a victory. I was too safe in the third round. My punches were much strong and a lot of his punches I blocked with my gloves. This was really great! тази вечер”

Gonzaga (L) defeated Santiago
“I felt good and gave it my all,” Santiago remarked. “He hit me with some shots and gave ’em back. Not only does he have a big nose (“Napao”), he has a strong, big head, също.”
В основното събитие, popular Hartford (CT) полутежката Ричард “Попай Моряка” Rivera остана непобеден, improving his record to 4-0 (3 Нокаута), with a first-round knockout of an over-matched Hansen Castillo (0-3)
Rivera, not relations to the promoter, first dropped Castillo with a beautifully placed left uppercut and finished the show moments later with a left hook that sent Castillo flying to canvas. Рефер Kevin Hope didn’t bother to count.
“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” Ривера е обяснено. “I saw that he had his left down and caught him with an uppercut. I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach.”
New Haven junior middleweight Edwin Sosa (11-2-2, 4 Нокаута) overcame at 15-pound disadvantage, най-малкото, en route to a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Anthony “The Animal” Евърет (1-7), of Rowley (MA).
Данбъри (CT) младши полусредна категория Омар Bordoy, Jr. (3-0, 1 KO) stopped New York veteran Bryan “Тухлата” Abraham (6-31, 6 Нокаута) в четвъртия и последен кръг. Abraham was decked twice and after counting to 10 after Abraham’s second time on the canvas, рефер Paul Casey waved off the action.
Three-time national amateur champion Elvis “Chi Chi” Фигероа (3-0, 1 KO), fighting out of New Haven, pitched a complete shutout over a game, про-дебютирайки Rene Nazare(0-1), Бразилия, for a convincing win by way of a four-round unanimous decision.
Southbridge (MA) борец от полусредна категория Wilfredo “на Sucaro” езически (3-0, 1 KO) pinnedPatrick Leal (0-4), на Уобърн, on the ropes early, dropping him three times until referee Casey halted the fight midway through the opening round.

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

Оставете коментар
Октомври 28 в Уорчестър, MA
WORCESTER, Маса. (Октомври 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga starts October 28тата when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” карта, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Бъдещето на Нова Англия”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) в Уорчестър, Massachusetts.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, две разделение световен шампион Хосе Антонио Ривера и синът му, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (MA). An imposing physical fighter, 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 Нокаута, 9 SUBs, 1 Декември), притежава 4тата degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, Великобритания, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Mirko Cro Cop with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture in his next fight.
Gonzaga, who retired from MMA 1 ½ years ago, also defeated Бен Ротуел, Shawn Jordan и Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-R) – Роки Гонсалес & Gabriel 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 (Бразилско жиу-житцу) 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. Сега, 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. В MMA, 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, Роки Гонсалес, 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.
“В бокса,” Гонзалес каза, “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, така, 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 Нокаута), fighting out of Pembroke (MA), will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Саул “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 Нокаута) в основното събитие от осем кръга.
Hartford’s (CT) популярен Ричард “Попай Моряка” Rivera (3-0, 2 Нокаута) отговаря Hansen Castillo (0-2) in the four-round, co-featured event to be contested at a 180-pound catchweight.

Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita boxes in his own unique way

Оставете коментар
Октомври 28 в Уорчестър, MA
WORCESTER, Маса. (Октомври 12, 2017) – Once-beaten Vinnie “American Dream” Carita is preparing in an entirely different way than all other fighters on the October 28тата “New England Future 4” карта, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Бъдещето на Нова Англия”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) в Уорчестър, Massachusetts.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, две разделение световен шампион Хосе Антонио Ривера и синът му, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
“I am happy to have a dedicated, hard-working boxer like Vinnie Carita headlining our boxing event on Събота, October 28th в DCU център,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “He is a perfect example of why my son, A.J., and I started RPE. We want to be able to help boxers grow their careers and create a platform for them to get bigger and better opportunities.”
A former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion,Carita (16-1-1, 15 Нокаута) will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Саул “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 Нокаута) в основното събитие от осем кръга.
Carita, fighting out of Pembroke (MA), will move up in weight once again to fight another foreign opponent. In the world of boxing, not only does Carita fight, he’s his own promoter, мениджър, trainer and matchmaker. Извън пръстена, Carita is a fulltime court officer in Brockton (MA), as well as a part-time security contractor for the Department of Defense (DOD).
Although his incredibly busy schedule leaves little, if any, downtown to relax, Carita thrives because he’s so dedicated, disciplined and driven. He starts each day at 4 А.М., running or doing cardio exercising, works his day job, and hits the gym to train between 9-10 p.m. on a regular basis for a scheduled fight. When he’s had some free time to travel, Vinne has gone to New York, Philadelphia and even Montreal for quality sparring.
He started boxing at seven, when he first walked into a gym, and captured a Southeast Regionals Golden Glove title but, при 14, only boxed sporadically, until he turned pro at 20. “I definitely have a passion for boxing,” the 32-year-old confessed. “I’m a boxing fanatic. If I’m not training, I’m watching fights, live or on television. It’s my love. Boxing will always be part of me and when I finally hang up my gloves, I want to be a referee, so I can still be in the ring, and have the best seat. Аз не искам да съдя. Bigger guys last longer than smaller fighters. I want to continue doing this until by late thirties, maybe early forties.
“I fell in love with the cruiserweight division when I saw the (Василий) Jirov-(James) Тони борба (at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut). The cruiserweight division is hot right now with the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (Олександър) Юсик could win the tournament, unifying all four major belts, and then move up to heavyweight. That could be good for me if I was one of the eight fighting for one of the four vacant (major) титли. I’ll look for the right fights until then, against guys who’ve been around and maybe competed for world or regional titles, like my next opponent (Faraff), who is the WBC Latino heavyweight champion.”
Carita, who occasionally is forced to fight as a heavyweight as he will against Faraff, will still weigh in around 200-205 паунда. He walks around at 208 and usually weighs in at 194-196 for his cruiserweight fights. “I have no plans to compete as a heavyweight,” той каза. “I’ve fought some heavyweights and it looks better for me to go the distance, or stop, guys much bigger than me. I try and pick the right guys to advance my career.”
Why has Carita fought so many opponents from countries all over the world? Networking. His job with the DOD, before he started working as a court officer, found him traveling around the world. Wherever he went – Южна Африка, Дубай, Северна Ирландия, и т.н.. – he worked out at boxing gyms and made invaluable connections, establishing working relationships with many managers and matchmakers who he’s remained in contact with throughout his pro boxing career.
Because he trains himself, Carita only has one regular person working his corner, Pittsfield (MA) court officer John Felix, who he first met when they were drill instructors at the academy. Carita adds a cut-man for his fight but he tends to keep things lean and mean, even in his corner.
Nobody knows better or appreciates more what promoter Jose Antonio Rivera accomplished when he was world champion working full-time as a court officer in Worcester.
“To work full-time, raise children, train to be a world-class fighter and become world champion three times speaks volumes about Jose,” Carita commented. “Сега, he’s promoting and putting guys like me on his shows.”
“I understand perfectly how hard and demanding his schedule is working a fulltime job as a court officer and training to try to achieve his goals of fighting for and winning world championship,” Rivera added. “I am glad Vinnie has chosen to give RPE an opportunity to be able to help him get closer to achieving his dream.”
В съвместно черта събитието, Hartford’s (CT) популярен Ричард “Попай Моряка” Rivera (3-0, 2 Нокаута) отговаря Hansen Castillo (0-2) in the four-round bout to be contested at a 180-pounds catch-weight.
The “New England’s Future 4” undercard features many of the best and most popular N.E. бойци, unbeaten East Hartford (CT) welterweight and 2016 N.E. Golden Gloves шампион, Антъни Laureano (5-0, 3 Нокаута), who meets welterweight Clifton Rashad Thames (3-2-1), of Oklahoma City, в шест-рундов мач.
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga makes his pro boxing debut in a four-round bout versus Washington D.C. тежка категория Alando Pugh (1-10-1, 1 KO).
Other undercard fights, all four-rounders, include two-time national champion and hometown favorite, Полицай “BH3” Harris III (1-0), срещу. Troy “Омар KO Изпълнител” художник (3-7-1, 2 Нокаута), 2014 N.E.

The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow.

The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70 held in Manchester, Великобритания, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Mirko Cro Copwith a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture in his next fight.
Gonzaga also defeated Бен Ротуел, Shawn Jordan и Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
“When I first saw Gabriel sparring,” Gonzaga’s trainer Скалист Gonzalez каза, “I knew he had potential to beat a lot of heavyweights around. He had a lot going on at that time and he was still under contract with the UFC. Сега, it’s a great opportunity for him.”
