QUINCY, Маса. (Кастрычнік 27, 2022) – In short two years, after signing a contract with Granite Chin Promotions, veteran New Jersey boxer Tyrone “Hands of Stone” Luckey has gone from journeyman to legitimate opponent with a promising upside.

“Guys like Tyrone have a special spot for me,” Granite Chin Promotions president Chris Traietti commented. “I’ve helped to build up his record, developed trust between us, and we’ll see where we go from here. He’s a big Dallas Cowboy fan and he really wanted to fight in AT & T Arena. He dreamed of fighting there and I got him on the Spence-Garcia card, and he got the biggest purse of his life.

“He is a fighter’s fighter. Any promoter would be very happy to have 25 like him in their stable. His goal now is to make as much as he can over the next few years and get out with his health. He continues to trust me. He wants to be part of the team and I just signed him to a new 3-year deal. Tyrone has had a bit of a rebirth in his career.”

The former New Jersey Golden Gloves Champion had a 9-12-4 запіс, when he joined the Granite Chin stable, and since then Luckey has won six of nine fights, capturing the ABF USA Mid-American super lightweight title along the way.

“I had no choice but to get better,” Lucky spoke about his resurgence the past two years. “It first changed when I started going to Gladiator’s Gym for help with trainer Shawn Darling. My career in boxing changed since the pandemic started.

The 36-year-old Luckey (15-15-4, 11 КО), fighting out of Galloway (Нью-Джэрсі), is a throwback fighter back to the days boxers only asked when and where they were fighting, no pickin’ and choosin’ soft touches. Evidence of his admirable attitude is the fact he’s fought in six different weight classes, from super featherweight to super welterweight, during his 11-year-pro career.

“I’m not afraid of anyone,” Luckey said. “I fight guys others avoid, even some that world champions wouldn’t fight. I’m able to fight in different weight classes because I know my body and how to properly get done in weight. Зараз, I feel comfortable at 140 фунты, and I feel like I have a ton of power at 130 або 135 фунты. I’m naturally small, but psychologically, I’m always the bigger fighter no matter what position I find myself in.”

Luckey’s stock jumped in his last two fights, both against previously unbeaten Eduardo Aguilar, who was knocked out, адпаведна, in the first round and he couldn’t continue past the sixth round in their most recent fight, in which Luckey dropped Aguilar seven times.

A married man who is an endoscopy technician, Luckey has been saving his boxing purses to eventually buy a house.

“I plan to box until I’m 39, maximum of 40,” Luckey remarked. “I’ll call it quits and maybe become a trainer or pro bowler. I’m trying to get into a sanctioned league (he averages 215 and rolled a perfect 300 game in 2017)."

Luckey and Traietti, also a pro boxer, have a mutually beneficial relationship today. “Our relationship has always been great,” Tyrone confirmed. “I had a fight fallout and the matchmaker set me up with Chris, who was working a fight in Minnesota. He said that after the fight we could talk. He’s a good dude, great promoter. I’m glad our paths crossed because he’s put me in a new situation. I put my faith in him. It’s always love when we talk.”

“We hit it off right away,” Traietti concluded. “He’s easy to work with and will fight anybody. Да яго гонару, he signed with me when it wasn’t really popular, not until 8 для 10 months later. Granite Chin has blown up and my some of my fighters have been performing on some of the biggest cards in boxing.”

Do you feel lucky? Tyrone Luckey certainly does and he’s finally cashing in on all his hard work and perseverance, fighting under the Granite Chin banner.

МАЙК МАРШАЛ.jpeg
QUINCY, Маса. (Жнівень 17, 2021) - Чэмпіён Новай Англіі ў суперцяжкай вазе "Муха" Майк Маршал мае правільнае стаўленне, калі рыхтуецца да загалоўка карты "The Come Up", прадстаўлена Granite Chin Promotions, 28 жніўня ў спартыўным цэнтры Новай Англіі ў Дэры, Нью-Гэмпшыр.

"Прыходзьце"-гэта назва прафесійнай карты, якая захоўваецца ў другой палове дня двайнога тыдня, асобныя прыёмы. Фінал чэмпіянату першага "Granite Chin Invitational" стане хэдлайнерам вячэрняй часткі двухбаковага Pro-Am.

Маршал (5-1-1, 4 КО), барацьба з Дэнберы (Канэктыкут), які павінен быў змагацца на карце Ф'юры-Уайлдэра III у ліпені 24 ў Лас-Вегасе, які быў адкладзены да кастрычніка 9й з-за таго, што члены лагера Ф'юры заразіліся COVID-19. Замест таго, каб гуляць у бяспеку, пазбягаючы рызык і чакаючы, калі ён будзе змагацца на перанесеным PPV Tyson-Wilder III, Маршал змагаецца з Хасэ "Алімпіка" Корал (20-27, 12 КО), у жніўні 28й 10-круглы, галоўная падзея барацьбы без тытула.

"Я быў вельмі рады быць на Fury-Wilder III, каб я мог паказаць усім, на што я здольны,- успомніў Маршал.

Я вельмі шчаслівы, Крыс (Прамоўтэр Traietti) атрымаў мяне на карту ў першую чаргу.

"Гэта шкодны бізнэс, і я не з тых хлопцаў, якія баяцца выкліку. Я баец. Для гэтага бою з'явілася магчымасць, і я скарыстаўся. Я не з тых, хто сядзіць дома ў чаканні званка. За гэта мне плацяць грошы. Я засяроджаны на сваёй працы і не турбуюся аб некантралюемай ".

«Выйграць тытул Новай Англіі шмат значыла, таму што гэта мой першы прафесіянал,», - дадаў Маршал. «Многія людзі думалі, што ён пераможа, і ён быў чэмпіёнам абароны. Я зайшоў туды і зрабіў тое, што павінен быў, і забраў рэмень дадому.

«Я даказаў, што магу пайсці 10 цяжкія раунды з такім ветэранам, як Стыў. Многія хлопцы на тэлебачанні не могуць гэтага зрабіць. Я думаў, што я выйграў, але ён ветэран, якога там добра ведаюць. Я займаўся бізнесам і навязваў яму сваю волю. Стыў добры хлопец; Я аказаў яму вялікую павагу. Я назіраў за яго вучэбнымі войнамі з Джэймсам Тоні ».

“Breakout” Possible swan song for Steve Vukosa, Statement time for Mike Marshall

QUINCY, Маса. (Чэрвеня 1, 2021) – The main event on the June 26й “Breakout” card, прадстаўлена Granite Chin Promotions, matches two New England heavyweights heading in opposite directions, Стыў "The Gentle Giant” Vukosa (13-1, 5 КО) і “Fly” Mike Marshall (5-1, 4 КО).

The evening card of another Granite Chin day-night doubleheader (асобныя прыёмы) is headlined by the 10-round main event for the vacant NABA United States Heavyweight Championship between Vukosa (13-1, 5 КО) who will possibly be fighting for the final time – win, параза ці нічыя — and reigning New England heavyweight champion Marshall.

Vukosa, fighting of out Quincy, Масачусэтс, is a former WBC U.S. Heavyweight Champion, which he captured in 2019 when he won an 8-round unanimous decision against Joe Cusumano (18-2, 16 КО). During his 20-year pro boxing career, Vukosa’s gained invaluable experience sparring at the famed Wild Card Boxing gym in Los Angeles as a sparring partner for world champions Джэймс Тоні, Эвандер Холіфілд і Уладзімір Клічко. He’s also driven a bus for the past 15 years for the Mass Bay Transportation Authority, пачынаючы з 4 p.m. and finishing around 2 раніцы, after which he does his run in. But he’s now 44 with a wife and three children and his boxing clock is ticking.

“I’m still fighting because I love it,” Vukosa explained. “It’s hard to walk away from something you’re good at. This one fight and it could be the end. My wife will be happy. My body is starting to fall apart: рукі, back and knees. They’ve been killing me. I used to be quick and fast, now I’m slow. I just want to have a good fight, перамога, or lose, but I want to win. I really enjoyed by days at Wild Card, those sparring sessions were like real fights, and my amateur days with trainer Jimmy Farrell.

“I saw my opponent when he won the New England title, I was impressed. (прамоўтэр)Крыс (Traietti) called asking if I’d fight him, I accepted because I like to fight and a good challenge. I’m looking forward to the fight.”

The 36-year-old Marshall, барацьба з Дэнберы, Канэктыкут, has won his last two fights, both on Granite Chin shows at the same venue as his upcoming match with Vukosa, including his N.E. title-winning performance last November against Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe. Marshall isn’t looking at his opponent as over the hill because of Vukosa’s advance age, but he does plan to make a statement that, hopefully, will get him positive exposure outside of New England.

“I know he’s a veteran pugilist, a pupil of Hall of Fame trainer Фрэдзі Роўч, who was an awesome fighter in his own right,” Marshall remarked. “This is boxing, усё можа здарыцца. My job is to prepare for anything. I’ve had the best quality sparring in house with the No. 1 amateur heavyweight, Fernely Felix, Малодшы. My team works very hard, My manger, A.J. Галант, asked me to be sharper in my last fight (3-round KO of Tracey Johnson this past April), so I did what he asked me to do. My cornerman Austin Ampeoquio keeps me sharp with the mitts, and my head coaches David McDonough і Bennie ‘The Jet’ Little do a good job pushing me as well.

“I know Steve comes to fight and I’m looking forward to an exciting night of boxing. We are two warriors going toe-to-toe in the ring, putting on a show for boxing fans who really enjoy the sport of boxing, not this YouTube celebrity garbage that’s going on right now.”

“Steve ran into some bad luck after the Cusumano win,” Granite Chin president Chris Traietti commented. “A few fights fell through, then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. We literally had a fight in Germany fall out the day we were set to leave for the airport. After that we lost a lot of the steam from the Cusamano fight and kind of had to reassess. He picked up a tune-up fight a few months ago, but we now have to either regain some momentum by winning a fight like this or finally have Steve ride off into the sunset. This fight with Marshall will be no picnic. He has burst upon the local scene with some impressive performances.

“Like many coming to the fight, I have no idea how this fight shakes out, which makes for a great main event. One thing I will say, despite what Steve like to make people believe, in the event he wins this fight, it won’t be his final fight. Zero chance of that! If Marshall wins, I have no doubt he will get a television fight in the very near future on a major network.”

In the 8-round co-featured event, former N.E. heavyweight champion Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 КО), Фэрфилд, Мэн, will takes on Mexican challenger Jose Humberto “Olimpico” Corral (20-26, 12 КО) for the vacant ABF Atlantic heavyweight title.

Indianapolis junior welterweight Dewayne Wisdom will be in his 66й pro fight against Nelson “Chino” Perez (2-0, 2 КО) in a 6-rounder.

Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Кендрыка Болль, Малодшы. hits home run vs. Браян Вера

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N гадзіну. (Красавіка 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, Малодшы. turned in a career-best performance in last night’s main event against dangerousBryan “The Warrior” Vera on the evening portion of the “Crossroads” day-night doubleheader, прадстаўлена Granite Chin Promotions, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 КО) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 КО) applied pressure, right from the opening bell. Ball took control in the second round, when he stayed in the pocket, snapping off crisp combinations. Ball fired more effective combinations in the third round as Vera started chasing his opponent. Ball started moving around the ring and fighting from the outside in the fourth and stayed on his toes the remainder of the fight.

Ball won an 8-round unanimous decision (79-73, 79-73, 78-74) to become the World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (ЗША) Silver Super Middleweight Champion.

“This was my best fight, because of who I fought, and the magnitude of the fight,” Ball commented. “The plan was to box and move because he was much smaller and slower. At times I banged, when I knew he wasn’t hurting me, but I shouldn’t have taken the risks.”

The 39-year-old Vera isn’t the same fighter he was when he beat three different world champions –Эндзі ЛіСерхіа Мора (двойчы) іSerhiy Dzinziruk.  The Texan needs to decide if it’s time to finally hang up his gloves.

“This was awesome, definitely our best show to date,” Granite Chin’sChris Traietti declared after the show. “We feel great about stepping up to give these fighters, especially the locals, a platform to perform on in front of fans. I think a lot of promoters have gotten lazy. They gave us a lane and Granite Chin took advantage. This was our fourth show with fans during the last year. Brian fought hard and he’s a great guy, but he’s not the same guy he was in 2011. He needs to think about what he’s going to do.

“Granite Chin returns here June 26й with another doubleheader. The afternoon show will be the Granite Chin Invitational for open elite boxers. With the New England Golden Gloves canceled again there is a void to fill. If promoters are going to help amateurs, I certainly will, starting June 26й."

ПрэтэндэнтMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 КО) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionРаян Dibartolomeo (3-2-1, 1 KO) via a sixth-round stoppage in an entertaining co-feature. A devastating overhand right from Bates gave him his new crown as the referee didn’t even count as the ring doctor quickly entered the ring.

Larry “Hitman” Pryor took the contract out onScott Lambert and he wasted little time taking care of business to become the New Hampshire Cruiserweight Champion. Pryor took advantage of his decisive height and reach advantages, closing the show with a perfectly thrown left hook that sent Lambert to the canvas.

DERRY, N гадзіну. (Жнівень 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 (Сб, Жнівень. 29), in front of a near capacity crowd at New England Sports Center in Derry, Нью-Гэмпшыр.

Two world champions were in attendance to support the fighters, undefeated reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) у сярэднім вазе Дзімітрый “Бу-Бу” Андрадэ і“Gallo” Хасэ Антоніо Рывера, адстаўны 3-разовы, 2-division title holder.

I’m glad that tonight we took as step forward towards normalcy,” прамоўтэр Chris Traietti пракаментаваў. 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.

Джасцін “Crazy TrainRolfe was crowned New England heavyweight champion by way of an 8-round unanimous decision over Tracey “Тытан” Джонсан у галоўную падзею.

Rolfe vs. Johnson II was a rematch of a 6-round majority draw last November in Quincy, Масачусэтс. A lot more was at stake in the rematch, хоць, 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, у сумесных прыкметах падзеі. “I live in Massachusetts but all my fights (3-0-1) have been in New Hampshire and I train in Nashua (Нью-Гэмпшыр),” 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, у другім раўндзе. 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 Кендрыка Болль, Малодшы., 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 ManOHan, Малодшы. did just about everything but stop gritty DeWayne Мудрасць, who was penalized two points and officially floored once. But he survived, albeit losing a lop-sided 6-round unanimous decision to Ohan.

Новая Англія Залатога чэмпіён пальчаткі Фрэнсіс “Frank The Tank” Хоган 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 КО).

In a spirited fight, непераможаным ў паўцяжкай вазе EdetPapitoMkpanam (4-0, 3 КО) was relentless against a game Саўл “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 TheoThe Unholy TruthDesjardin, flooring him early and finishing him off soon after with a blistering shot, to improve to 2-0 (2 КО).

У сярэднім Anthony Concepcion won by way of a third-round disqualification when his opponent, пра-дэбютаваўшы Caleb Denham, ignored the referee’s instructions to continue fighting.

У сярэднім LarrySlomoshun” Каваль, fighting out of Dallas, recorded his first victory in more than nine years, taking a 4-round unanimous decision from Ісус “The JuiceCintron. 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 гады

Texas light heavyweight Браян Вера накаўтаваў Mike Anderson with a big right hand early in round one. Суддзя Leo Gerstel immediately waved off the count right after Anderson hit the mat. Вера, who is known for his participating in Прэтэндэнт рэаліці-шоў, has defeated world champions Серхіа Мора (двойчы), then-undefeated Эндзі Лі і Serhiy Dzinziruk during his 16-year pro career.

Veteran junior middleweight CliffMagicianMcPherson had no tricks for Тайран “Hands of StoneLuckey because he was disqualified in the second round by referee Morrell for repeated holding.

Opening the night was a cruiserweight match between Larry “Наёмную забойца” Прайор і Francisco Neto. It didn’t take long for Pryor, whose cousin was the late, Зала Славы Аарон “Hawk” Прайор, 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.

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).”

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

“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera to headline “Вяртанне на радзіму”

Чэмпіён вярнуўся!
Жнівень 17 у The Palladium ў Вустере, Масачусэтс

Вустер, Маса. (Ліпеня 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “Gallo” Jose Rivera returns to the ring August 17 у загалоўку “Вяртанне на радзіму”, прадстаўлена Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЭ), у The Palladium ў Вустере, Масачусэтс.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Рывэра (41-6-1, 24 КО) has already lost more than 30 фунты, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against RubenModern Day WarriorGalvan (27-26-4, 10 КО) in the eight-round main event.

 

 

 

У 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO ў) World welterweight title, прыпынак Gilberto Flores у другім туры. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, родны любімы Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.

 

 

 

In front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera capped his boxing career by winning a 12-round unanimous decision in 2006 over defending champion Алехандра Гарсія(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.

 

 

 

The idea to return to the ring started with my son. Эй-Джэй, and I talking about chasing history,” Рывэра патлумачыў. “We are not able to put that together right now (A.J. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17й show.), but because of my hard work these last six months, I felt that it was only fitting to continue with my fight.

 

 

 

Granite Chin Promotions has been very instrumental to make sure that this show is put together in the most professional manner possible. I won’t think our promotional company (Jos and A.J. own and operate RPE Promotions Entertainment) would have been able to pull this off. All the negotiations had to be done and me training the only way I know how, at a championship level, would have been too much for us to handle.

 

 

 

Акцыі з гранітнага падбародка’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns дабаўленай, “When Jose and I started talking about his ring return, I was the last person to think he was crazy. We were friends during his championship days and I know how incredibly committed and disciplined Jose is. Я ваяваў у 49 гадоў, not to compare myself to the level Jose has been on, but I know that it can be done. What everyone should know is how well Jose has taken care of himself during his thirties and into his forties. Did I ever think that Крыс (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? Ня, but I’m happy to be involved and I will support him as far as he wants to take this. He’s been training like he’s 25 and Jose’s going to surprise some people.

 

 

 

During Rivera’s title reigns, unlike other world champions, he also held a full-time job as a court officer in the Massachusetts Trial Court, a position in Worcester that he still holds 17 years later. Between working and training, never mind his family responsibilities, Jose somehow manages to balance everything in his extremely busy life.

 

 

 

Let’s just say it makes for a busy schedule,” Rivera remarked. “I am committed to taking care of my family and will do whatever it takes. I usually run before work and train after work. Starting early and finishing late makes for busy days, but the job needs to get done. Зараз, I’m in the middle of the hardest period of training. The week of the fight is more about preparing mentally and making weight. There’s nothing you can do the week of the fight to help you get into better shape.

 

 

 

Rivera isn’t under any illusions that his comeback will lead to another major world title. The plan is for him to have two more fights to reach a total of 50 а пра, but he’s taking things one fight at a time, and he still hopes his next fight, tentatively slated for later this year, will be on the same card as his son’s pro debut.

 

 

 

Rivera last fought in 2011, taking an eight-round decision over Paul Mpendo, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. The battle-tested Galvan, his Aug. 17й opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Including Заб Джуда, Хуліа Сезар Чавес-, Малодшы., Jorge Paez і Пол Спадафора.

 

 

 

I hear he comes to fight and that he likes to fool around a bit to try and get into his opponent’s head,” Rivera added. I’ve concentrated on me, my timing and focus on the game plan

 

 

 

Training for this fight has been more mental than anything else. I have been able to reach peak performance at 45 training like I did in my prime. The most important thing is that, working with my trainer Sean Fitzgerald, I’ve been focused on making sure my timing gets better since it’s been seven years since I last fought.

 

 

 

“І, вядома, it’s always a great feeling to box in front of my hometown fans. Their support is always appreciated.

 

 

 

The name of the event is “Вяртанне на радзіму” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.

 

 

 

У сярэднім Кендрыка Болль, Малодшы. (9-1-2, 6 КО) and junior middleweight Khiary Шэры (15-4, 11 КО), both promoted by CES Boxing, will be fighting at home in Worcester as pros for the first time in a pair of six-round bouts.
