DERRY, N.H. (נִשׂגָב 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 (שבת, Aug. 29), in front of a near capacity crowd at New England Sports Center in Derry, ניו המפשייר.

Two world champions were in attendance to support the fighters, undefeated reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) אלוף במשקל בינוני דמטריוס “Boo Boo” אנדרדה ו“גאלו” חוסה אנטוניו ריברה, 3-זמן בדימוס, 2-division title holder.

“I’m glad that tonight we took as step forward towards normalcy,” אמרגן Chris Traietti העיר. 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.”

ג'סטין “Crazy Train” Rolfe was crowned New England heavyweight champion by way of an 8-round unanimous decision over Tracey “עֲנָק” ג'ונסון באירוע המרכזי.

Rolfe vs. Johnson II was a rematch of a 6-round majority draw last November in Quincy, מסצ'וסטס. A lot more was at stake in the rematch, למרות ש, 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, במקרה שיתוף בהשתתפות. “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, בסיבוב שני. 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 Kendrick Ball, ג 'וניור., 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 מִיקרוֹפוֹן “Bad Man” OHan, ג 'וניור. did just about everything but stop gritty דיוויין חוכמה, who was penalized two points and officially floored once. But he survived, albeit losing a lop-sided 6-round unanimous decision to Ohan.

אלוף זהב כפפות ניו אינגלנד פרנסיס “Frank The Tank” הוגאן 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 קוס).

In a spirited fight, במשקל כבד אור בלתי מנוצח Edet “אבא” Mkpanam (4-0, 3 קוס) was relentless against a game שאול “Spider” אלמיידה, 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 ג'ונתן דפינה 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 קוס).

בינוני Anthony Concepcion won by way of a third-round disqualification when his opponent, -שדורג פרו Caleb Denham, ignored the referee’s instructions to continue fighting.

בינוני Larry “Slomoshun” נַפָּח, להילחם מדאלאס, recorded his first victory in more than nine years, taking a 4-round unanimous decision from ישו “The Juice” Cintron. The 41-year-old Smith, 0-39-2 during his winless streak, dropped Anderson in the first round.

Texas light heavyweight בריאן ורה דפקתי Mike Anderson with a big right hand early in round one. שופט Leo Gerstel immediately waved off the count right after Anderson hit the mat. ורה, who is known for his participating in המועמדת תכנית ריאליטי, has defeated world champions סרג'יו מורה (פעמיים), then-undefeated אנדי לי ו Serhiy Dzinziruk during his 16-year pro career.

Veteran junior middleweight Cliff “Magician” McPherson had no tricks for טיירון “ידי אבן” Luckey because he was disqualified in the second round by referee Morrell for repeated holding.

Opening the night was a cruiserweight match between Larry “Hitman” פריור ו Francisco Neto.

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.

גבריאל גונזגה (R) won his pro boxing debut
WORCESTER, מסה. (אוקטובר 29, 2017) – Former UFC heavyweight title challenger גבריאל “Napao” Gonzaga has a successful pro boxing debut last night (יום שבת, אוקטובר. 28) in the co-featured event on the “New England’s Future 4” כרטיס, שהוצג על ידי מבצעי ריברה בידור (RPE), at DCU Center, Exhibition Hall, בווסטר.
6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (תואר שני), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, של טמפה (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! הלילה”

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, גַם.”
באירוע המרכזי, popular Hartford (CT) כבד משקל קל ריצ'רד “פופאי המלח” ריברה נשאר בלתי מנוצח, improving his record to 4-0 (3 קוס), with a first-round knockout of an over-matched Hansen Castillo (0-3)
ריברה, 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. שופט Kevin Hope didn’t bother to count.
“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” ריברה הסבירה. “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 קוס) overcame at 15-pound disadvantage, at the very least, en route to a dominant six-round unanimous decision over אנתוני “The Animal” אוורט (1-7), of Rowley (תואר שני).
דנברי (CT) welterweight הזוטר עומר בורד'וי, ג 'וניור. (3-0, 1 KO) stopped New York veteran בריאן “הלבנה” אַבְרָהָם (6-31, 6 קוס) in the fourth and final round. Abraham was decked twice and after counting to 10 after Abraham’s second time on the canvas, שׁוֹפֵט Paul Casey waved off the action.
Three-time national amateur champion Elvis “Chi Chi” פיגרואה (3-0, 1 KO), fighting out of New Haven, pitched a complete shutout over a game, -שדורג פרו Rene Nazare(0-1), של ברזיל, for a convincing win by way of a four-round unanimous decision.
Southbridge (תואר שני) welterweight לווילפרדו “Sucaro” עוֹבֵד אֵלִילִים (3-0, 1 KO) pinnedPatrick Leal (0-4), של ובורן, 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

להשאיר תגובה
אוקטובר 28 בווסטר, תואר שני
WORCESTER, מסה. (אוקטובר 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger גבריאל “Napao” Gonzaga starts October 28ה when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” כרטיס, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “העתיד של ניו אינגלנד”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) בווסטר, מסצ'וסטס.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, אלוף עולם שתי החלוקה חוסה אנטוניו ריברה ואת בנו, Anthonee (A.J.) ריברה.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (תואר שני). An imposing physical fighter, ה-6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 קוס, 9 SUBs, 1 דצמבר), מחזיק 4ה degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, בריטניה, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion שוטר מירקו Cro with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion רנדי קוטור in his next fight.
Gonzaga, who retired from MMA 1 ½ years ago, גם ביס בן רותוול, שון ירדן ו Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-R) – רוקי גונזלס & גבריאל גונזגה
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 (ברזילאי ג'יו-ג'יטסו) 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. עכשיו, 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. בMMA, 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, רוקי גונזלס, 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.
“באגרוף,” גונזלס אמר, “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, כך, 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 קוס), fighting out of Pembroke (תואר שני), will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion שאול “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 קוס) באירוע המרכזי של שמונה הסיבובים.
Hartford’s (CT) popular ריצ'רד “פופאי המלח” ריברה (3-0, 2 קוס) פוגש 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

להשאיר תגובה
אוקטובר 28 בווסטר, תואר שני
WORCESTER, מסה. (אוקטובר 12, 2017) – Once-beaten Vinnie “American Dream” Carita is preparing in an entirely different way than all other fighters on the October 28ה “New England Future 4” כרטיס, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “העתיד של ניו אינגלנד”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) בווסטר, מסצ'וסטס.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, אלוף עולם שתי החלוקה חוסה אנטוניו ריברה ואת בנו, Anthonee (A.J.) ריברה.
“I am happy to have a dedicated, hard-working boxer like Vinnie Carita headlining our boxing event on יום שבת, October 28th במרכז DCU,” 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 קוס) will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion שאול “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 קוס) באירוע המרכזי של שמונה הסיבובים.
Carita, fighting out of Pembroke (תואר שני), 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, מנהל, trainer and matchmaker. Outside of the ring, Carita is a fulltime court officer in Brockton (תואר שני), 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 a.m., 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, ב 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. אני לא רוצה לשפוט. 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 (ואסילי) Jirov-(ג'יימס) Toney מאבק (at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut). The cruiserweight division is hot right now with the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (אולכסנדר) אוסיק 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) כותרות. 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 קילו. 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,” הוא אמר. “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 – דרום אפריקה, דובאי, צפון אירלנד, וכו '. – 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 (תואר שני) 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. “עכשיו, 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.”
