WORCESTER, માસ. (જાન્યુઆરી 20, 2017) – Boxing returned to Worcester last night (ગુરુવારે) for the first time in more than five years to the delight of a capacity crowd of 2,100 passionate fans at the Palladium.
The inaugural event of the “ન્યૂ ઇંગ્લેન્ડ ના ફ્યુચર” શ્રેણી, રિવેરા પ્રમોશન્સ મનોરંજન દ્વારા રજૂ, featured 10 એક્શનથી ભરપૂર ઝઘડા, highlighted by rising Worcester featherweight prospect Irvin Gonzalez (5-0, 5 કોસ).
“The support we received from the sold out crowd was exciting for our first show,” જણાવ્યું હતું કે પ્રમોટર જોસ એન્ટોનિયો રિવેરા, the former 3-time, 2-વિભાગ વર્લ્ડ ચેમ્પિયન. “We working on our second show in March, અલબત્ત, right here in Worcester.”
The 20-year-old Gonzalez was absolutely relentless in the main event, fright rom the opening bell, throwing a barrage of unanswered punches from every conceivable angle, repeatedly hurting his Mexican foe, ઇઝરાયેલ “વાઘ” રામોસ (9-15, 3 કોસ), including a late first-round knockdown. Gonzalez didn’t let up in the second, firing crisp punches, until Rojas hit the canvas early in the second frame and referee Steve Clark had seen enough, stopping the one-sided fight.
Gonzalez is continuing the rich Worcester boxing tradition. “I’m always relentless,” Gonzalez said with a smile. “It was great fighting in the main event at home. I heard the crowd and really appreciated their support. I hurt him early and I almost took him out in the first round with a body punch. I finished him off with a right in the second. None of my fights have gone the distance, but I prepared to go the full six tonight, if needed.”
Gonzalez takes off રવિવારે o report to undefeated ગુઈલેર્મો Rigondeaux’ training camp in Miami, where he’ll work with the reigning WBA super bantamweight world champion and 2-time Olympic gold medalist.
અપરાજિત રે “એક bazooka સાથે” Gracewski (5-0, 3 કોસ), fighting out of Springfield (MA), was on a search-and-destroy mission in the co-feature against Worcester super middleweight Ralph Johnson (2-10, 1 KO), who was dropped three times before referee Kevin Hope halted the fight.
હાર્ટફોર્ડ તરફી મળ્યું રિચાર્ડ “પોપાય ધી નાવિકોનો મેન” રિવેરા was good to the finish, albeit only two rounds, in a fight contested at a 185-pound catchweight against Philadelphian Davonte Hopkins (0-3). રિવેરા, જે હતી એક 2016 Rocky Marciano Tournament winner, punished Hopkins, finally dropping him in the second round, after which his corner threw in the towel.
