DERRY, N.H. (अगस्त 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 (शनि, अगस्त. 29), in front of a near capacity crowd at New England Sports Center in Derry, न्यू हैम्पशायर.
Two world champions were in attendance to support the fighters, undefeated reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight चैंपियन देमेत्रिायुस “बू बू” Andrade व“गालो” जोस एंटोनियो रिवेरा, सेवानिवृत्त 3-समय, 2-division title holder.
“I’m glad that tonight we took as step forward towards normalcy,” प्रमोटर Chris Traietti टिप्पणी. 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.”
जस्टिन “Crazy Train” Rolfe was crowned New England heavyweight champion by way of an 8-round unanimous decision over Tracey “टाइटन” जॉनसन मुख्य समारोह में.
Rolfe vs. Johnson II was a rematch of a 6-round majority draw last November in Quincy, मैसाचुसेट्स. A lot more was at stake in the rematch, यद्यपि, 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, सह-फ़ीचर्ड ईवेंट में. “I live in Massachusetts but all my fights (3-0-1) have been in New Hampshire and I train in Nashua (एनएच),” 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, दो दौर में. 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 केंड्रिक बॉल, जूनियर., 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 माइक “Bad Man” OHan, जूनियर. did just about everything but stop gritty DeWayne बुद्धि, who was penalized two points and officially floored once. But he survived, albeit losing a lop-sided 6-round unanimous decision to Ohan.
न्यू इंग्लैंड गोल्डन दस्ताने चैंपियन फ्रांसिस “Frank The Tank” होगन 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 KOs).
In a spirited fight, अपराजित प्रकाश हैवीवेट Edet “Papito” Mkpanam (4-0, 3 KOs) was relentless against a game शाऊल “Spider” अल्मीडा, 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 जोनाथन 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 KOs).
Middleweight Anthony Concepcion won by way of a third-round disqualification when his opponent, समर्थक शुरुआती Caleb Denham, ignored the referee’s instructions to continue fighting.
Middleweight Larry “Slomoshun” लोहार, डलास से बाहर लड़ाई, recorded his first victory in more than nine years, taking a 4-round unanimous decision from यीशु “The Juice” Cintron. The 41-year-old Smith, 0-39-2 during his winless streak, dropped Anderson in the first round.

Texas light heavyweight ब्रायन वेरा बाहर खटखटाया Mike Anderson with a big right hand early in round one. रेफर Leo Gerstel immediately waved off the count right after Anderson hit the mat. वेरा, who is known for his participating in दावेदार वास्तविकता टेलीविजन शो, has defeated world champions सर्जियो मोरा (दो बार), then-undefeated एंडी ली व Serhiy Dzinziruk during his 16-year pro career.
Veteran junior middleweight Cliff “Magician” McPherson had no tricks for टाइरोन “Hands of Stone” लक्की because he was disqualified in the second round by referee Morrell for repeated holding.
Opening the night was a cruiserweight match between Larry “हिटमैन” प्रायर व Francisco Neto. It didn’t take long for Pryor, whose cousin was the late, हॉल ऑफ फेम हारून “Hawk” प्रायर, 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.
