WORCESTER, Hmota. (Květen 24, 2017) – New England’s top prospect with 10 pro fights of less, undefeated hometown favorite Irvin Gonzalez, is on a fast track going into his June 10th headline fight in the third installment of the “Nová Anglie je Future” série, Na DCU Center (Výstavní síň) Worcester, Massachusetts.
“Budoucnost Nové Anglie 3” uvádí Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), kterou vlastní a provozuje důchodce třikrát, dvě divize mistr světa Jose Antonio Rivera a jeho syn, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
The 21-year-old Gonzalez (6-0, 6 KO) bere na Raul Lopez (10-2-1, 5 KO), z Bronxu (NY), in an eight-round main event for the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All-American super featherweight championship.
Profesionální box se poprvé vrací do centra DCU v 11 léta, ironicky, když promotér Jose Antonio Rivera porazil Alejandro Garcia, prostřednictvím 12kolového jednomyslného rozhodnutí, pro Světovou boxerskou asociaci (WBA) Světový titul ve welterové váze.
“I am excited to watch Irvin’s boxing career flourish,” promoter Jose Rivera remarked. “He has all the tools to become a world champion. Fighting for the UBF championship will be the first of many and I am glad that we are able to give him this opportunity. I see big things for Irvin and I hope fans come out Sobota noc, Červen 10th, to support him and the other local boxers.”.
“To je skvělá příležitost pro mě,” Gonzalez řekl. “I’m blessed to be fighting in Worcester for my first title. It’s not a big title but it’s like taking baby steps to a world title. Since I started boxing at the Boys & Girls Club, I always wanted to be like Jose, a three-time world champion. Nyní, it’s my turn, and I’m fighting again in my city.”
Gonzalez has a perfect pro record: six rights, six wins by knockout. Nicméně, he’s only had fought a grand total of eight rounds, and June 10th he’s in a scheduled eight-round match. The well-spoken youngster isn’t concerned with the step up in rounds and opposition.
“I’ve been asked about that by a lot of media, trainers and other fighters,” he explained. “I’ve always trained like it’s for a world title fight, 12 kola, so I’m not worried about going into deep water. I’m in magnificent shape, three weeks before the fight, and even in the amateurs I’ve always gotten stronger as the fight went along. In sparring, I get stronger, so going eight isn’t a problem for me.
“I don’t really know much about my opponent. He won a few national titles but hasn’t fought too often. I’ll see what he brings into the ring and then adjust. I know I’m taller.”
Gonzalez learned a lot when he was a sparring partner for Guillermo Rigondeaux in Florida that was supposed to be a six-week training camp that ended after three weeks due to Rigondeaux’ fight being cancelled.
“I learned a lot about different training methods that I now use,” Irvin continued. “His techniques are phenomenal. I was around a world champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist and I saw his work ethic. After all he’s accomplished, he still has a great work ethic, and I learned from him that a fighter need continue working like he does until the day it’s all over. It’s not all about money, it’s having fun every day, doing what we love.”
