QUINCY, Маса. (Ліпеня 12, 2023) – Undefeated super middleweight prospect Steve “The Savage” Sumpter (8-0, 7 КО) has never turned down a fight. Neither has his next opponent, James “Pitbull” Perkins (12-0-1, 9 КО), and that’s why the two undefeated fighters will throw-down August 19й.

Sumpter vs. Perkins headlines “Pandemonium at The Palladium”, прадстаўлена Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), in an eight-round showdown for the vacant International Boxing Association IBA) Americas Super Middleweight Championship..

“Pandemonium at The Palladium” will be streamed live onwww.bxngtv.com from the famed Palladium in Worcester, Масачусэтс.

“This fight is one of the best main events Massachusetts has seen this year,” GCP president Chris Traietti commented. “What more can you ask for? Two undefeated guys with knockout power going for it all for a chance to elevate their careers to the next level. The spectators better take their bathroom and concession breaks before this one starts. It could end at any moment!"

More than a belt is at stake, more like Bay State (Масачусэтс) bragging rights for the winner of this potentially “lights-out” fight between these Western (Sumpter, Pittsfield) and Eastern (Perkins, Лін) Маса. rival fighters.

Sumpter, 29, leaped at the opportunity to fight another undefeated fighter because of the upside for his career that an impressive victory will make within New England boxing circles.

“’ll be better known after this fight,” Sumpter said. “I don’t care about my opponent’s record or anything else. This is the type of fight that will establish me as one of the better boxers around. This fight will open up a lot of doors for me, when I come out on top. More people will start taking notice of me and I’ll be getting calls for bigger fights.

“We are both explosive fighters. I don’t think he’s going the full distance. It’ll come down to skills. I’ve seen some things from him I’ll exploit. Nobody studies me better than me. I’m sure he has watched me, too.”

Pittsfield is 100 miles to the west of Worcester, but Sumpter, who is the reigning Massachusetts Light Heavyweight Champion, is confident his fans will travel in force.

“I’ll feel good traveling,” Sumpter added. “This will be the second card I’ve headlined. I have a solid fan-base and it’s growing with each win. І, like I said, he’s not going the distance.”

У са-прыкметах падзеі, undefeated Massachusetts Welterweight Champion Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (11-0, 6 КО) takes Hector “El Gatito” Ednar Bobadilla (9-14-1, 4 КО) in an eight-round bout for the vacant United States Boxing Federation (USBF) Atlantic welterweight title.

Other fighters expected to be in action on the “Pandemonium at The Palladium” undercard include another Holyoke boxer, super welterweight Carlos Castillo (7-0, 4 КО), unbeaten Springfield super featherweight Isaiah “Baby Warrior” Cruz (6-0, 4 КО), and New Haven (Канэктыкут) featherweight Felix Parrilla (7-0, 6 КО).

Unbeaten Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz A visionary in trunks and gloves People’s champ of Worcester

Пакінуць каментар

Вустер, Маса. (Чэрвеня 10, 2021) – Unbeaten lightweight prospect Jamaine «Тэхнік» Орціс (14-0-1, 8 КО) is a visionary, clearly seeing the day he becomes the first Worcester (Масачусэтс) native to become a World boxing champion, as well as headlining a show at home in front of thousands of his growing legend of fans, and much more.
The 25-year-old Ortiz, former World Boxing Council (WBC) World Youth lightweight, has his sights set on greatness and the boxing world got a glimpse of his vast talent in his last two fights, both showcased on high-profile cards.


His seventh-round stoppage of Sulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 КО), who had never been previously stopped, last November on the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Малодшы. pay-per-event was the first time for most boxing fans outside of New England to watch him in action.


He followed that performance with an even better one last month on ESPN+, despite settling for a questionable 8-round draw against undefeated Joseph “Blessed Hands” Adorno (14-0-2, 12 КО), in which most observers felt Ortiz deserved a victory.

“I’ve seen a statue of myself in the City of Worcester…..like Rocky in Philadelphia,” Ortiz said, “but not only for what I do in the ring. I am part of this city. I’m the People’s Champ! I’m willing to do whatever it takes to become world champion. I’ve headlined a show in Worcester, but I want to do it on a big card with thousands of fans there supporting me.”

“I joke around a lot when he talks, but I support any kid who has a dream like Jamaine,” Ortiz’ trainer Рокі Гансалес remarked. “That’s the way all of us were taught at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club by Карлас Гарсія. We believe in ourselves and I’m totally with it. Anything positive, just keep it positive.

“I think Jamaine feels the way he does about Worcester is because it’s personal with him. He was born in there. He’s always so positive at the gym with the kids. When you’re the best in the gym, everybody looks up to you, and that’s the way it is here with Jamaine. It’s important that the young kids are positive, and it is that way in our gym. A lot of that is because of Jamaine.”DCU Center and the new Polar Park are the only venues in Worcester (located 40 miles west of Boston) capable of holding 5,000 fans or more for boxing.

“Jamaine Ortiz to Worcester,” added promoter Джымі Burchfield (CES president), “is like Мікі Уорд to Lowell (Масачусэтс), Віні-Пас to Providence (Род-Айлэнд), і Джон Руіз to Chelsea (Масачусэтс). We’re working every day for Jamaine, as we do for all of our fighters, and get ready for some big news!"

“I’ve headlined before, at the Palladium, but fighting at home in front of 5,000 or more fans on television would be great,” reigning WBC United States Silver lightweight champion Ortiz concluded. “That’s something I expect as the People’s Champion. I’ve put in the work and built a growing fanbase, which will translate into future ticket sales. I think it may take me fighting on TV in Las Vegas or Madison Square Garden for casual fight fans in Worcester to get onboard.”

“Very progressive and brilliant Worcester city officials recognize the importance of bringing high end sporting events to the area and have great plans for the sporting community in the near future,” Ortiz’ manager Dick Shappy адзначыў. “The recent purchase of the Pawtucket Red Sox, the Boston Red Sox AAA minor league affiliate, is a testament to that. The timing is perfect right now for Jamaine as he positions himself to become Worcester’s favorite son and world champion. Boxing fans, stay tuned!

Worcester is ready to celebrate its favorite son. The Day of “The Technician” is coming!

Boxing saved the life of Two-Division World Champion “El Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera

Пакінуць каментар

Каларада-Спрынгс, Круг. (Чэрвеня 4, 2020) – Like many boxers, Два-чэмпіён свету “El Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera credits boxing for saving his life.

“Absolutely,” Rivera agreed. “After my mom passed away when I was 10 гадоў, 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, Масачусэтс, prior to him moving to Worcester, Масачусэтс, where he met a man who helped change his life, Карлас Гарсія, 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 watchingРаберта Дзюран upset“Sugar” 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 аматарскія запісы, highlighted by a bronze medal performance at the PAL Nationals.

“I never had big amateur aspirations but, вядома, 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.”

Лістапада 7, 1992, Rivera made his pro debut, накаўтаваўшыFrancisco 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 iconХуліа Сезар Чавес- (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 ў) world welterweight championship. Rivera extended his new win streak to seven, before losing back to back fights. Four fights later, хоць, Rivera registered his first statement victory in 2001, накаўтаваўшыFrankie Randall (55-10-1) у 10й round to retain his North American Boxing Association (Таксама) 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, аднак, didn’t last long. In his first defense, Rivera lost a 12-round split decision at home in Worcester to challengerЛуіс Кольясо (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 баі, the last coming at the age of 46.

“Jose’s USA Boxing experiences shaped him into the man of character he is today, як у і з кальца,"СказаўКрыс Кульяры, 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 гадоў, 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, хоць, keeping my job was the best decision I could have made for me and my family.”

Рывэра. 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. Рывэра, 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 andРокі Гансалес, to support their young talent. He also goes to his friendКендрыка Болль’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.

Нешчаслівы дзень нараджэння для непераможнага лёгкага патэнцыялу Джамаіна "Тэхнік" Ортыса

Пакінуць каментар

Вустер, Маса. (Красавіка 15, 2020) - Нават у самых дзікіх марах, непераможны Сусветны савет па боксе (WBC) Моладзь свету ў лёгкай вазеJamaine «Тэхнік» Орціс (13-0, 7 КО) ніколі не мог уявіць, што яго 24й дзень нараджэння, пазней у гэтым месяцы, прыйшоўся б у сярэдзіне сусветнай пандэміі ў галіне аховы здароўя

Калі ён паварочваецца 24 красавіка 28й, Орыціс палічыў, што рыхтуецца да трэніровачнага лагера з устаноўленай датай вясновага бою, Верагодна, абараняючы свой моладзевы тытул Сусветнага чэмпіянату свету па барацьбе за рэгіянальны пояс.

Ён, вядома, не думаў, што бокс будзе забаронены ва ўсім свеце, спартыўныя залы закрыты дзяржаўным мандатам, і людзі, якія носяць маскі і пластыкавыя пальчаткі, як у фільме Sci-Fi. І, для загрузкі, У мінулую пятніцу яго праца ў якасці ліцэнзаванага цесляра скончылася. Як і ўсе астатнія ў дзяржаве Бей.

У асноўным дома Ortiz з'яўляецца каранцін, хаця ён усё яшчэ працуе, навучанне, правільна харчавацца і рабіць усё астатняе для падтрымання прыстойнай формы. Не элітная форма бокса, хоць, што ў гэтыя абмежавальныя і спробныя часы проста немагчыма.

Замест спарынгаў, ён - бокс у цень, скачкі на скакалцы замянілі заняткі на пляцоўцы са сваімі трэнерамі, Рокі Гансалес іКарлас Гарсія, і цяпер яго гасцёўня выконвае ролю сваёйспартзалу.

Часы былі рэзка зменены, сапраўды, нават святкаваць дні нараджэння, які Джамайн цалкам разумее і прымае.

"Я не думаю, што мой дзень нараджэння будзе інакш,- сказаў Ортыз. "Я звычайна праводжу гэта сам з маці і дачкой (4-гадовая Аміра) і гэты год, верагодна, не будзе інакш. Я не змагу патрапіць у цэлую групу спарынг-раундаў, пра якія звычайна прашу (смеючыся) у якасці падарункаў ад маіх сяброў "

На шчасце, хоць, Ортыз змог змагацца з гэтым лютым мінулага года 28 у яго першай акцыі за паўгода, хэдлайнерская картка з прасоўваннем CES Boxing дома ў Вустэр, Масачусэтс, у якім ён зарэгістраваў уражлівы прыпынак другога тура мексіканскага накаўта«Локо» Раналда Луіс Касціла (22-6, 17 КО), былы WBC у лёгкай вазе FECOMBOX.

Ортис, у цяперашні час набраў няма. 16 Федэрацыяй бокса Паўночнай Амерыкі (NABF), імкнецца наведваць медыцынскую школу пасля таго, як ён назаўсёды павесіць пальчаткі, стаць урачом / даследчыкам. Ён шмат чытае пра медыцыну, асабліва цэласнае лячэнне, і ён мяркуе, што ў яго ўжо быў каранавірус.

"За пяць тыдняў да майго апошняга бою,"Ён растлумачыў, «У шпіталі я была з тэмпературай 104,5. Пра ўсіх, каго я ведаў, было хворае, у маёй бабулі была пнеўманія. Я ніколі не хварэю. У мяне было сем гадоў без грыпу. У мяне развіўся кашаль, таксама. Я адчуваў, што памру. Не магу з упэўненасцю сказаць, што ў мяне быў коронавірус (тэсту тады не было), але я адчуваю, што ў мяне было такое ".

Ortiz будзе гатовы да ночы, званок званка нарэшце зноў прагучыць. "Я спадзяюся, што зноў будзе біцца ў ліпені ці жніўні, але, незалежна ад таго, калі вяртаецца бокс, Я буду гатовы ісці.

"Гэта сур'ёзна, заразная хвароба. Людзі павінны выкарыстоўваць здаровы сэнс: Мыйце рукі, трымайцеся аддзеленых шасці футаў, і заставацца дома, асабліва пажылым людзям і людзям з дыхальнымі праблемамі. Не бярыце лішніх рызык і панікі, альбо. Гэта яшчэ не канец свету!"

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz Hammerin’ his way to medical school

Пакінуць каментар

Вустер, Маса. (Студзеня 6, 2020) – Undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Моладзь свету ў лёгкай вазеJamaine «Тэхнік» Орціс (12-0, 6 КО) isn’t a typical professional boxer whose life entirely revolves in and around the “Sweet Science.”

The 23-year-old Ortiz is also a licensed carpenter with diverse interests ranging from engineering and psychology to philosophy, and his ultimate post-boxing career aspiration is to attend medical school. First, хоць, Ortiz’ goal is to become world champion, which would be a first for a native of Worcester, Масачусэтс.

“I was always fascinated by architecture, starting with my mother’s house, and that spun off to engineering,” Ortiz explained. “I wanted to learn how to build to better understand and became a carpenter after graduating from high school. I’m not worried about getting hurt at work. I do work with my hands, but I’m in the union and everything is safe, and I’m very careful.

“Medical school is my dream. I want to help people working with cells, blood and muscle tissues, understanding the body. I’m not sure if I’ll do research or be working with patients, maybe in internal medicine, but not in traditional medicine. I’m interested in natural, holistic medicine, and working for the benefit of people.”

Ортис, who started boxing at the age of six, will return to the ring in early 2020 для, most likely, his final WBC Youth World title fight, because this title is for fighters 23 or younger, and Jamaine turns 24 on April 28.

The WBC World Youth title has been a stepping-stone for great champions such asSaul “Canelo” Alvarez, Цімаці Брэдлі,Дэні Гарсія іЛеў Санта-Крус, сярод больш шляхты.

“I’m proud to be the WBC World lightweight champion, but I’ll have to give it up in April when I turn 24.,” Ortiz remarked. “I’ll win bigger titles as I get older. This has been good for now, but I’m going on to bigger and better things. I’m confident that I’ll be world champion in 2021 and I want to be a multiple wight-class world champion before I retire.”

Ortiz recently gained even more confidence whenТэафіма Лопес (15-0, 12 КО) captured the International Boxing Federation (IBF) World lightweight championship, knocking out defending championRichard Commey in the second round this past December.

На 2015 Нацыянальныя Залатыя Пальчаткі, Ortiz lost a decision to Lopez in the championship final. “He didn’t do that stuff to me (like he did to Commey),” Ortiz noted. “He didn’t beat me up. I lost a decision, but I showed that I could fight with him. He was nothing like you saw on television (супраць. Commey), though. I’ve watched him get better and better.

So is Ortiz and before he swaps his boxing gloves for a stethoscope, he has unfinished business in boxing. Nothing short of capturing a world championship crown will satisfy “The Technician.”

Boxing’s Best Kept Secret Undefeated WBC Youth World lightweight champion Jamaine “The Technician” Ортис

Пакінуць каментар
Вустер, Маса. (Лістапада 5, 2019) – Undefeated World Boxing Youth World lightweight champion Jamaine “The Technician” Ортис (12-0, 6 КО) з'яўляецца, магчыма, the best prospect in the world who most boxing fans don’t know.

A large part of the problem, аднак, is that the 23-year-old Ortiz, born and raised in the fighting city of Worcester, Масачусэтс, never aspired to be a professional boxer, despite having a decorated amateur career.

He started boxing when he was six years old, thanks to National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame trainer Карлас Гарсія, who has run the boxing program at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club for nearly 40 гады.

The naturally gifted Ortiz compiled an outstanding 100-14 аматарскія запісы, highlighted by a silver medal at the 2015 Нацыянальныя Залатыя пальчаткі турнір, in which he lost in the championship final to future professional world champion Joselito Lopez, plus back-to-back gold medal performances at the New England Tournament of Champions in 2015 & 2016.

Testimony to Ortiz’ promising potential was his final amateur match, which was a solid victory against Абрагам “Супер” Nova, хто 17-0 (13 КО) як прафесійны, as well as the reigning North American Boxing Association champion, and rated by the World Boxing Association (WBA) as the No. 8 super featherweight in the world.

“Turning pro wasn’t my end goal,” consummate boxer Ortiz said. “It really wasn’t on my mind. I focused on regional and national tournaments. I always thought I’d win an Olympic gold medal and then turn pro. I wish I had been better prepared to turn pro.

“People that know me didn’t even realize that I had turned pro. It took a while before I adjusted, but I never really transitioned. Others had a game plan; I didn’t have a clue, but soon realized trophies I won in the amateurs weren’t going to pay the bills. Most of my fans today are other fighters and coaches.”

When his Olympic dream ended, after he lost in the semifinals of the Olympic Trials, that’s when his promoter, Джымі Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports / CES), and co-adviser, Providence businessman Richard Shappy got involved in Ortiz’ pro career. They’ve invested time, money and energy, believing in Ortiz and his tremendous potential.

“Гадамі,” explained Shappy, who advises Ortiz along with Eddie Imondi,” I kept telling Jimmy (Burchfield) that I was interested in getting involved with a boxer, but that it had to be the right one. One day Jimmy called to say this (Ортис) is the one. I jumped onboard. He convinced me that Jamaine is a future world champion. We jumped in from his first fight, on the ground floor, and we believe he is going to be world champion.”

Burchfield has promoted the likes of five-time world champion Віні-Пас, U.S. АлімпіецДжэйсан Эстрада, Ray Oliveira, Gary Balletto, Пітэр Манфрэд, Малодшы. and many others during his 25-plus years in the boxing industry. “Jamaine is the best I’ve promoted since Vinny Paz,” Burchfield claimed without hesitation. “He’s one of the best prospects in the world today and someday he’ll be world champion. Some say he has the good looks ofОскар дэ ла Хойя; others feel his style is like that of ‘Цукар’ Рэй Леанард.”

When his Olympic dream unceremoniously ended, he decided to turn pro in 2016, winning his pro debut when Джош Паркер retired after one round. The highlight of his young pro career to date was winning an eight-round unanimous decision this past February from previously undefeated (10-0) Ricardo Quiroz to capture the vacant WBC Youth World lightweight title, the same belt once proudly worn by, Па іроніі лёсу, the aforementioned Lopez, а таксама Juan Diaz і Даніэль Эстрада.

Past CES-promoted fighters who were WBC World Youth champions include three-time world champion “Дрэнны” Чэд Доусон і польскі цяжкавагавік Maruisz Wach.

In his last fight and first WBC World Youth title defense this past August, Ortiz won a dominating eight-round unanimous decision over 8-1-1 Romain Couture, pitching a shutout by winning each round on all three judges’ сістэмы паказчыкаў.

Ортис’ time to star in the ring is coming. He is a diamond in the rough; малады, talented and with tremendous upside. He has a strong team behind him, including head coach Рокі Гансалес and Garcia, who is still working his corner

Ортис’ fan-base will eventually develop and quickly grow as more and more boxing fans discover this gifted boxer as he ascends to the top of the boxing mountain.
2020 promises to be the “Year of The Technician,” Jamaine Ortiz.

Jose Antonio Rivera Dedicates “Quest For 50” to Worcester Boys & Girls Club

Пакінуць каментар

(L-Р) – Хасэ Антоніо Рывера, current WBC Youth super lightweight champion Jermaine Ortiz
(11-0, 6 КО) and Carlos Garcia


Вустер, МАССА (Мая 16, 2019) – Трохразовы, Два-чэмпіён свету “Gallo” Хасэ Антоніо Рывера is dedicating his 50й pro fight, the last in his hometown of Worcester, to the Boys & Girls Club in Worcester, Масачусэтс. A portion of the proceeds from “Quest For 50,” presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP) and Rivera Promotions Entertainment, will benefit the Boys & Girls Club.

The 46-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 КО) faces former WFC champion Трэвіс “Sweet Feet” Скот (19-5, 5 КО), of Baton Rouge, Луізіяна, in the eight-round main event at The Palladium in Worcester.

Рывэра, a full-time court officer in Worcester, has had a special relationship for more than 30 years with the Worcester Boys & Girls Club and its director of boxing, Карлас Гарсія, хто “The Godfather of Worcester Boxing.”

Rivera moved to Worcester from Springfield 30 years ago at the age of 16 to pursue a boxing career, which included being coached by Garcia. Rivera had siblings and other relatives living in Worcester and after living with an aunt for a month, Jose moved into an apartment with another boxer, four-time national amateur champion Bobby Harris.

“The Worcester Boys & Girls Club helped me stay off the streets so I could focus on my dream of becoming world champion,” Rivera remembered. “It was a place for me and so many others to go and be safe. Kids, not just boxers, can be kids there, where they don’t have to worry about what’s happening in the streets.

“Carlos has played a tremendous part of my life and so many others, influencing us not only to become good boxers, but to be good people in the community. That was always so important to him and he emphasized being a good person. Я зрабіў усё магчымае,. He was always fair across the board and gave us all opportunities. He took a liking to me and brags that he never had to throw me out of the Boys & Girls Club. I graduated from high school and went after my dream in 1992 when I turned pro. Carlos is big in amateur boxing, but not so much with pros, because he doesn’t have the time to train pros. I made sure that when turned pro, tough, that he was part of my team. And he’s still a big part of my team and life.”

The number of Worcester youths Garcia has had a positive effect on, life-changing in many respects, is countless. One of those many people is Jose’s longtime friend and his current head trainer, Sean Fitzgerald, who retired as a boxer in 2001 з 29-2-2 запіс. “Fitzy” remembers the fir time he read the sign over the door in the gym at the Boys & Girls Club: “Better to seat than bleed.”

Fitzy lived with his father when his parents divorced and at the age of 10, his father sent him to the Boys & Girls Club to attend an after-school program. “Fitzy” said he had to earn his way into Garcia’s good graces.

“Carlos didn’t talk to me for the first 5-6 тыдняў,” Fitzgerald explained. “Затым, he put me in the ring as a sparring partner, and I was badly beaten. I had a bloody nose and black eye, but the next day I came back, and the rest is history. Carlos was a great mentor, rough at times, but always there for you. I remember seeing the boxing team jackets. It intrigued me. When I got my jacket and started wearing it, I got respect from everybody, and then I knew that I belonged. I learned a lot about life at the Boys & Girls Club, being with there with people from different generations and cultures. I met many friends there who I never would have met.

“The Boys & Girls Club is safe. I was from a tough area in Worcester. My father worked and it was easy to get in trouble with no supervision. Carlos stayed on top of me to graduate from school and if I was home sick, he come buy with chicken soup to make sure I was alright. My father was in my life big-time, but I joke that I had two moms growing up, my father and Carlos. Going to the Boys & Girls Club was something to look forward to every day.

“Carlos always taught us to never make the mistakes he did in life. He wanted us to go to school, stay out of trouble, and be a good person. He’s helped so many people over the years. Look around Worcester and you’ll see them: police and court officers, fire fighters, and so many others. The Boys & Girls Club was a great experience for me and so many other kids from Worcester.”


(L-Р) – Ray Semidei, Carlos Garcia and Jose Antonio Rivera

Garcia has been the director of boxing at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club since 1982. Two year ago, Garcia was inductred into the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame.

“Never in his life has Jose even raised his voice to me,” Garcia commented. “He treats me like his father and he’s like one of my sons. There aren’t not too many guys like him and he’s so well respected in the community. He came to Worcester from Springfield to train with ne and stayed with me. Jose helps everyone and now he’s promoting to help local boxers.

“We’re at the Boys & Girls Club to and that’s the way it really is here. It’s so good to see so many in this community who’ve gone through our boxing program and are good people, good husbands, good parents. It makes me feel so proud. ‘Fitzy’ was a hyper kid. He’s a real gentleman who now does so much for kids here. I’ve never had a signed contract with any of the pro boxers I’ve worked with because I trust them.”

The 32-year-old Minor, who didn’t start boxing until he was 23, captured bronze medals at the 2014 U.S. Boxing National and National Golden Gloves tournaments. New England boxing fans have been anxiously waiting for his pro debut.

Why did it take so long for Minor to turn pro, especially after a relatively late start in the sport, in addition to developing into quality national amateur boxer?

“I was being a father,” Minor explained. “I have two sons, зараз 11 і 8, and living in Worcester is tough. I wanted to make sure that I put them in the right direction.”

A former standout football player (fullback/defensive end) at Holy Name High School, Minor knows what he’s talking about, working full-time with juvenile offenders for the Department of Youth Services in Westborough, Масачусэтс.

“We are excited to have Owen making his pro debut on our first card,” прамоўтэр Chuck Shearns remarked. “He is at a point in his life where he feels he can balance boxing and family. Owen is in tremendous shape and can punch through concrete! Fans will really enjoy watching his fight.”

6′ 1″, 235-pound Minor will be making his pro debut on a card headlined by his cousin and fellow Worcester boxer, Kendrick “Peppa” Мяч, Малодшы. (11-1-2, 8 КО), who faces upset-minded Дэні “Feel Good Hollywood” Rosenberger (4-6-4, 1 KO), Янгстаун, Агаё, in the six-round main event for the vacant New England middleweight title.

Кендрыка Болль, Sr. trains his son as well as his nephew, Minor, who takes on Philadelphia’s Адзёру Морлі (0-2-1) in the four-round, сумеснае мерапрыемства прыкмет.

“It’s a privilege to make my pro debut in my hometown on a card headlined by my cousin,” Minor said. “Not every boxer gets a chance like this. It’s a great honor for me. I love the City of Worcester and the people who live here. Boxing has always been big in my family and I want to continue our legacy in Worcester boxing.”

The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 КО), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Трохразовы, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Каваль (10-38-1, 7 КО) from the opening bell and he never let up.

 

 

 

It took a few rounds for Rivera to wear off the rust, but he fed Smith a steady diet of body shots, gradually breaking down his opponent, as he won round after round on points. Twice in the sixth round it looked like Smith was done, but the tough Texan showed a lot of heart to survive.

 

 

 

У рэшце рэшт, Rivera closed the show in the seventh round, when Smith broke his hand in the fifth round and was unable to continue, kneeling in his corner, obviously in pain.

 

 

 

“I’ve always been tough,” Rivera said after the fight, “but I was a little rusty. He tested me early but, once he saw I wasn’t going anywhere and knew he was in for a fight. I started warming up in the fourth round. I was always a 12-round fighter. I didn’t know he broke his hand until after the fight. Я выдатна сябе адчуваю. We gave a good fight to the fans who have always supported me.”

 

 

 

“I give myself a C+ tonight. I’m going to talk with my family, but I’m thinking about one more fight, to make it 50 for his pro career).”

The rematch between Worcester junior middleweight Khiary Шэры (16-4, 12 КО) і Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 КО) ended in the same fashion as their first encounter did three years ago.

Fernandez beat the count, but referee Bob Benoit halted the action.

 

 

Southbridge, MA junior middleweight Вільфрэда “Sucaro” язычнік (5-0, 3 КО) застаўся непераможаным, using a relentless body attack to drop Engelberto “Guarura” Валенсуэла (11-15, 3 КО) тры разы, the last ending the fight midway through the third round.

 

 

 

Springfield, MA junior lightweight Joshua Orta (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an impressive pro debut in a barn-burner that ended when (1-8-1, 1 KO), of Worcester, was unable to continue fighting after the third round.
