Mat “Tireur pointu” Remillard's Ring revient sans poisson d'avril

“L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 2”, Avril 1 à Worcester

Matt Rémillard (centre) est prêt à rattraper le temps perdu
(photo par Emily Harney / L'équipe Rémillard)
WORCESTER, Masse. (Mars 20, 2017) – Le long voyage de retour commence en avril 1st pour Mat “Tireur pointu” Rémillard, 12 ans jour pour jour depuis ses débuts professionnels, sur “L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 2” spectacle au Palladium de Worcester, Massachusetts.
Rémillard (23-1, 13 KOs), combattre à partir de Manchester, Connecticut, n'a pas boxé depuis six ans, parce qu'il purge une peine de cinq ans de prison. Il affronte Lawrence (MA) léger Augustin “Impitoyable” Maura (6-1-3, 3 KOs) dans la co-métrage de huit rondes. Si leur temps, un regard presque volatil lors d'une récente conférence de presse est une véritable indication, Rémillard contre. Mauras ne tient pas la distance, pour mettre les choses avec douceur.
L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 2″ est présenté par Rivera Promotions Entertainment (À propos de nous), qui est détenue et exploitée par trois retraités, double champion du monde de division Jose Antonio Rivera et son fils, Antoine (A.J.) Rivera.
“Je suis ravi d'avoir un boxeur du calibre de Remillard sur notre 'New England's Future 2’ boxe événement,” le promoteur Jose Antonio Rivera a fait remarquer. “Il a un match difficile contre August Time Mauras pour son premier combat. Connaître Rémillard, bien que, il ne voudrait pas qu'il en soit autrement. Je veux remercier Matt, Paul Cichon (entraîneur en chef) et leur équipe pour avoir fait confiance à Rivera Promotions Entertainment pour le premier match de boxe de Matt après sa longue mise à pied.”
Rémillard est un ancien World Boxing Council (WBC) Etats-Unis & Monde de la jeunesse, Fédération nord-américaine de boxe (NABF) et l'Organisation mondiale de boxe (WBO) champion poids plume. Sa seule défaite professionnelle est survenue lors de son dernier combat, Mars 23, 2011 à Atlantic City puis étoile montante Mikey Garcia (24-0), quand Rémillard a pris sa retraite après 11 tours. Il ne fera pas d'excuses; cependant, il n'aurait jamais dû se battre avec Garcia, faire face à l'affaire judiciaire imminente qui l'a envoyé en prison et travailler avec un nouvel entraîneur en chef qu'il n'avait rencontré que deux semaines avant le combat.
“Je suis convaincu que je peux revenir là où j'étais dans environ un an,” dit Rémillard, 30 ans. “Un rêve devenu réalité serait une revanche avec Garcia, à tout poids, mais je dois mériter ce coup. Tout le monde veut une revanche avec le gars qui t'a donné la première défaite. Cela arrive rarement mais, sinon, avec le temps je crois qu'il y aura d'autres gros combats pour moi.
“Je combats un adversaire qui s'est battu par pote, Chip Perez, trois fois (0-2-1), donc je connais son style. Il ne recule pas. Je ne m'attends pas à ce qu'il recule contre moi…jusqu'à ce qu'il sente mon pouvoir. Je vais retirer ces cinq années que j'étais loin de lui. J'ai traversé tellement de choses ces six dernières années, mais je suis plus à l'aise au gymnase. Le passé est passé et c'est ma dernière course. Paul et moi avons beaucoup de choses à régler.”
Il y a dix-sept ans, Chicon a rencontré Remillard pour la première fois au gymnase Manchester PAL, mais il a permis au boxeur en herbe de 13 ans de gagner sa chance d'être formé. Paul a demandé à Matt de nettoyer les salles de bain, prendre soin des seaux à broche, etc. avant qu'il ne commence à l'entraîner.
“Quand il est retourné au gymnase il y a quelques mois, J'ai vu que son éthique de travail n'avait pas disparu,” Cichon a commenté. “Je ne crois pas qu'il soit vraiment si loin d'où il était il y a six ans. Il a été inactif pendant cinq ans, mais son premier jour de retour, il s'est battu 12 tours. Il est resté en bonne forme physique et a plus faim que jamais. Il pense qu'il a quelque chose à prouver après son dernier combat, mais il n'a vraiment rien à me prouver ni à personne d'autre. Il combat un enfant dur mais Matt va être victorieux. Je pense que dans quatre ou cinq combats de plus, il sera de retour là où il était en boxe.”
Pembroke (MA) cruiserweight Vinnie “Cauchemar américain” histoire (15-1-1, 14 Les KO feront la une contre le spécialiste brésilien du KO Gilberto Matheus “La magie” les dimanches (22-6, 20 KOs), l'ancien champion sud-américain des mi-lourds, en cas de huit tour.

Worcester’s boxing tradition started close to a century ago with Canadian import Lou Brouillard, a two-division world champion and Hall of Famer, 1928 médaillé de bronze olympique Leo Sawicki, and more recently, entre autres, pro and amateur standouts such as multiple national amateur champion Bobby Harris, Sean “The Irish Express” Fitzgerald Sean et Edwin Rodriguez.
Arguably the greatest Worcester fighter in the past 50 years is three-time, champion du monde de deux-division Jose Antonio “Le Gallo” Rivera, who is promoting “L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre” with his son, Antoine. “I have seen Irvin train and fight since he was in the Junior Olympics,” Rivera a déclaré. “I am very proud of him because he was able to discover on his own that he was getting in his own way. He was always a talented fighter but, at times in the ring, he was inconsistent and it cost him a few fights. As he got older, he boxed more talented boxers and looked good against them. He started believing in himself more and it showed in his training. His abilities and confidence grew and that got him all the way to the Olympic Trials. I feel he has the skills to become world champion in the future. The sky is the limit for this young man and I am proud to have him fighting on our show.”
Gonzalez, une 2015 Nouvelle-Angleterre d'or Gloves champion, will be headlining his first show in his first scheduled six-round bout. “Fighting in my hometown in the main event means a lot to me because,” Gonzalez admitted. “I’ve grown up in this city, fighting my whole life, and of people who’ve supported me will be watching me fight for the first time as a pro. Je suis surexcité. I’m comfortable fighting here in Worcester and I want to showcase the boxing talent we have in Worcester.”
Gonzalez qualified for the 2016 Olympic Trials but he was eliminated, not due to a loss in the ring, for missing weight. He decided not to wait four years for another Olympic shot, turning pro this past March with a first-round stoppage of Gilvan Santos au Foxwoods Resort Casino. In four pro fights to date, Gonzalez has four knockouts and only one was extended into the second round.
“I was always told that I had a pro boxing style,” the well-spoken, handsome Gonzalez continued, “but we didn’t immediately decide to turn pro until the time was right. I had some stoppages as an amateur but, comme un pro, I’ve been going more to the body. I do have heavy hands. I don’t go into a fight looking for a knockout. I just let ’em come but I’ve prepared to go six rounds if needed for this fight. I’ve been sparring eight rounds with different guys coming in fresh.”
In addition to being a prize fighter, the 20-year-old Gonzalez works at a bank and he also owns and operates New England Boxing gym with his father, former boxer Irvin Gonzalez, where the youngster serves as a personal trainer.
In the six-round co-feature Springfield (MA) mi-lourds Reinaldo “Bazooka” Graceski (4-0, 2 KOs) faces Worcester’s Ralph Johnson (2-9, 1 KO).

POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE
RAPPEL: The deadline to apply for a media credential is Jan. 12e

WORCESTER, Masse. (Janvier 5, 2017) – Auburn (MA) moyen junior “Irlandais” Chuck Shearns will become the second-oldest professional fighter in Massachusetts boxing history jeudi nuit, Janvier 19, in his farewell performance at the Worcester Palladium, marking the first pro boxing event in Worcester, located in Central Mass., in more than five years.
Le inaugurale “L'avenir de la Nouvelle-Angleterre” series event is being presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (À propos de nous), which is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-temps, 2-champion du monde de division Jose Antonio “Le Gallo” Rivera – et son fils, Antoine “AJ” Rivera.
Rising junior lightweight prospect, 2015 Nouvelle-Angleterre d'or Gloves champion Irvin Gonzalez (4-0, 4 KOs), will be fighting at home in the 6-round main event against Mexican invader Oscar Eduardo Quezada (2-1, 1 KO), tandis que Springfield (MA) mi-lourds Reinaldo “Bazooka” Graceski (4-0, 2 KOs) meets Worcester’s Ralph Johnson (2-9, 1 KO) in the six-round co-feature.
The 49-year-old Shearns (2-1, 1 KO), who is the general manager of Lundgren Honda in Auburn, va prendre Shavonte Dixon (0-1), de Philadelphie, dans un combat de quatre rondes. The state record, set in 2011 by then 53-year-old Joe Siciliano, is safe because Jan. 19e will definitely be Shearns’ last fight.
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for all boxers in terms of what they go through to be able to perform at their best in the ring,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “Chuck is doing it at 49 ans! That takes a lot of sacrifice and courage to put your body through that rugged training. I wish him the best and I am glad I can provide him with the opportunity to be able to say goodbye to boxing on his own terms.”
Shearns made his amateur debut at the age of 29, 10 Des années plus tard he made his professional debut. “I grew up watching boxing with my father (Jean), who boxed in the Navy, and my grandfather (Jean),” Shearns explained. “My grandfather was a club fighter, si, boxing was in my blood. I only had four amateur fights and one day I met “Fitzy,” who is now one of my closest friends. (Fitzgerald Sean, one of Worcester’s all-time best boxers, who is Shearns’ head trainer.) I told him I wanted one pro fight and asked him to train me.”
Pourquoi, bien que, à l'âge de 49 does he still put himself through such extensive training, while working fulltime during the holiday season, to fight an opponent half his age?
“Boxing was the ultimate hobby for me and I just got carried away with it,” Shearns admitted. “I’m a novelty, not a real pro boxer. I’m fighting Janvier 19e because I was given this opportunity and decided to accept it but, honnêtement, I’m sure that this it! Maybe I just wanted a chance to go out with a win because I lost my last one? Je ne sais pas. Sometimes I wake up asking myself, ‘What am I doing?’ And ‘Fitzy’ is working me so hard for this fight – I don’t know if it’s my age or what – but I’ve hated every minute of it. I lost my father in March. He was always in my corner and this fight I’ll have RIP on my trunks in his honor.”
Dernièrement, Shearns’ typical day has been, bien, in a word, unordinary, Pour dire le moins. He reports to work at 5 a.m., exercises and runs on the treadmill for an hour in a small gym at work, catches up with “Fitzy” at Anytime Fitness to hit the heavy and speed bags, and after work “Fitzy” trains Shearns at Camp Get Right.
Shearns has the complete support of his family and co-workers, who will all be at the Worcester Palladium supporting him Jan. 19. “Ma femme (Karen) and two daughters (Kayla and Olivia) have always been there for me,” Shearns noted. “My wife supports me and has jokingly said, ‘We’re getting divorced if you lose this fight.’ I’ve worked at Lundgren Honda for about 20 years and most of the 100-plus employees there will be at my fight. I did want to fight one more time before I turn 50. When Jose asked me to fight, how could I pass up this final opportunity?”
Also fighting on the undercard in 4-round bouts are Worcester junior lightweight Andino Ranse à ses débuts pro vs. Lowell’s (MA) Jonathan Perez (2-0-1, 2 KOs), pro-debuting Worcester heavyweight Felix Martinez vs. Dorchester’s (MA) Brian Richardson (0-8), Hartford’s (CT) pro-debuting light heavyweight Richard “Popeye le marin” Rivera vs. de Brockton (MA) Huston Crayton (1-8, 0 KOs), pro-debuting Southbridge (MA) boxeur Wilfredo Pagan vs. Puerto Rican Alexandre Picot (1-1-1, 0 KOs) at a 145-pound catchweight, pro-debuting Springfield (MA) poids plume junior Luis “Pancho” Santiago vs, Mexican Jonathan Ramos (1-2, 0 KOs), 2016 N.W. Golden Gloves champion Anthony Laureano (1-0), of East Haven (CT), vs. Boston junior welterweight Rafael Francis (0-8), Saugus (MA) mi-lourds Brandon Montella (5-0, 4 KOs) vs. Mexican veteran Roberto El Viejo” Valenzuela (69-73-2, 56 KOs) and unbeaten Lawrence (MA) poids lourd Jean Pierre Augstin (7-0-1, 3 KOs).

I lost a lot of money promoting a show in 2008, so I told him to put a plan together first and within a week he did. He had gotten his feet wet in the business as an intern for a boxing promoter. We went over the plan ad decided that we can do this. We’re not signing fighters, maintenant, we’re helping them build their careers.
