DERRY, N.H. (Наймдугаар 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 (Sat., Эцсийн. 29), in front of a near capacity crowd at New England Sports Center in Derry, Нью-Гэмпшир.

Two world champions were in attendance to support the fighters, undefeated reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) Эмэгтэй дунд аварга Деметр “Boo Boo” Andrade болон“Gallo” Жозе Антонио Ривера, тэтгэвэрт гарсан 3 цаг, 2-division title holder.

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

Жастин “Crazy Train” Rolfe was crowned New England heavyweight champion by way of an 8-round unanimous decision over Tracey “Titan” Johnson гол үйл явдал нь.

Rolfe vs. Johnson II was a rematch of a 6-round majority draw last November in Quincy, Массачусетсийн. A lot more was at stake in the rematch, Хэдийгээр, 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, in the co-featured event. “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, Хоёр дахь шатанд. 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 Бөмбөг, 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 Майк “Bad Man” OHan, JR. did just about everything but stop gritty DeWayne Мэргэн ухаан, who was penalized two points and officially floored once. But he survived, albeit losing a lop-sided 6-round unanimous decision to Ohan.

Шинэ Английн Алтан Бээлий аварга Фрэнсис “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 Kos).

In a spirited fight, гийн ялагдашгүй гэрэл хүнд жингийн Edet “Papito” Mkpanam (4-0, 3 Kos) was relentless against a game Саул “Spider” Алмейда, 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 Jonathan 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).

Эмэгтэй дунд Anthony Concepcion won by way of a third-round disqualification when his opponent, дэмжсэн дебютээ Caleb Denham, ignored the referee’s instructions to continue fighting.

Эмэгтэй дунд Larry “Slomoshun” Смит, fighting out of Dallas, recorded his first victory in more than nine years, taking a 4-round unanimous decision from Есүс “The Juice” 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 жил

Texas light heavyweight Брайан Вера гарч унагасан Mike Anderson with a big right hand early in round one. Шүүгчдийн Leo Gerstel immediately waved off the count right after Anderson hit the mat. Вера, who is known for his participating in Өрсөлдөгч реалити телевизийн шоу, has defeated world champions Sergio Mora (хоёр дахин их), then-undefeated Энди Lee болон Serhiy Dzinziruk during his 16-year pro career.

Veteran junior middleweight Cliff “Magician” McPherson had no tricks for Tyrone “Stone-ийн гар” 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” Pryor болон Francisco Neto. It didn’t take long for Pryor, whose cousin was the late, Famer танхим Аарон “Hawk” Pryor, 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.

Габриел Gonzaga (R) won his pro boxing debut
Worcester, Масс. (Аравдугаар сар 29, 2017) – Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Габриел “Napao” Gonzaga has a successful pro boxing debut last night (Бямба гариг, Oct. 28) in the co-featured event on the “New England’s Future 4” карт, Ривера Урамшуулал Үзвэр үйлчилгээ танилцуулсан (RPE), at DCU Center, Exhibition Hall, Worcester нь.
6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (Магистр), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, фирм (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! Өнөө орой”

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, бас.”
Үндсэн тохиолдолд, popular Hartford (СТ) гэрэл хүнд жингийн Ричард “Popeye The Sailor хүн” Ривера гийн ялагдашгүй хэвээр, improving his record to 4-0 (3 Kos), with a first-round knockout of an over-matched Hansen Castillo (0-3)
Ривера, 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. Шүүгчдийн Kevin Hope didn’t bother to count.
“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” Ривера тайлбарлав. “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 Kos) overcame at 15-pound disadvantage, at the very least, en route to a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Энтони “The Animal” Everett (1-7), of Rowley (Магистр).

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

Сэтгэгдэл үлдээх
Аравдугаар сар 28 Worcester нь, Магистр
Worcester, Масс. (Аравдугаар сар 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger Габриел “Napao” Gonzaga starts October 28-р when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” карт, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Шинэ Английн ирээдүйн”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) Worcester нь, Массачусетсийн.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, Хоёр хэлтэс дэлхийн аварга Жозе Антонио Ривера болон түүний хүү, Anthonee (A.J.) Ривера.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (Магистр). An imposing physical fighter, the 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 Kos, 9 SUBs, 1 DEC), эзэмшдэг 4-р degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, Нэгдсэн Вант Улс, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Мирко ОНХА Cop with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Рэнди Couture in his next fight.
Gonzaga, who retired from MMA 1 ½ years ago, also defeated Бен Rothwell, Shawn Jordan болон Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-R) – Роки Гонзалес & Габриел 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 (Бразилийн Jiu Jitsu-) 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. Одоо, 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. ММА-д, 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 Гонзалес, 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.
“Боксоор,” Гонзалес гэж хэлсэн, “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, Ингэснээр, 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 Kos), fighting out of Pembroke (Магистр), will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Саул “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 Kos) in the eight-round main event.

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

Сэтгэгдэл үлдээх
Аравдугаар сар 28 Worcester нь, Магистр
Worcester, Масс. (Аравдугаар сар 12, 2017) – Once-beaten Vinnie “American Dream” Carita is preparing in an entirely different way than all other fighters on the October 28-р “New England Future 4” карт, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Шинэ Английн ирээдүйн”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) Worcester нь, Массачусетсийн.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, Хоёр хэлтэс дэлхийн аварга Жозе Антонио Ривера болон түүний хүү, Anthonee (A.J.) Ривера.
“I am happy to have a dedicated, hard-working boxer like Vinnie Carita headlining our boxing event on Бямба гариг, October 28th DCU төвд,” 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 Kos) will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Саул “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 Kos) in the eight-round main event.
Carita, fighting out of Pembroke (Магистр), 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, менежер, trainer and matchmaker. Outside of the ring, Carita is a fulltime court officer in Brockton (Магистр), 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, үед 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. Би шүүх хүсэхгүй байна. 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-(Жеймс) Toney тэмцэл (at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut). The cruiserweight division is hot right now with the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (Олександр) Usyk 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) цол хэргэм. 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 кг. 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,” гэж тэр хэлэв. “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 – Өмнөд Африк, Дубай, Умард Ирланд, гэх мэт. – 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 (Магистр) 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. “Одоо, 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.”
