QUINCY, Hmota. (Október 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 profesionálny záznam, 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 KO), fighting out of Galloway (NJ), 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. Práve teraz, I feel comfortable at 140 libier, and I feel like I have a ton of power at 130 alebo 135 libier. 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, príslušne, 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. K jeho cti, he signed with me when it wasn’t really popular, not until 8 na 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.

Much at stake for “The Come Up” headliner “Fly” Mike Marshall in “The Come Up” Day-Night Doubleheader August 28 v Derry, N.H.

MIKE MARSHALL.jpeg
QUINCY, Hmota. (August 17, 2021) – New England Heavyweight Champion “Fly” Mike Marshall has the right attitude as he prepares to headline “The Come Up” card, v podaní Granite Chin Promotions, on August 28th at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

“The Come Up’ is the name of the professional card being held during the afternoon session of a day-night doubleheader, separate admissions. The championship final of the inaugural “Granite Chin Invitational” will headline the evening portion of Pro-Am doubleheader.

Marshall (5-1-1, 4 KO), fighting out of Danbury (CT), who was supposed to fight on the Fury-Wilder III card July 24 v Las Vegas, which was postponed until October 9th due to members of Fury’s camp contracting COVID-19. Instead of playing things safe, avoiding risk and waiting to hear if he’ll be fighting on the rescheduled Tyson-Wilder III PPV, Marshall is fighting Jose “Olimpico” Corral (20-27, 12 KO), in the August 28th 10-kolo, non-title fight main event.

“I was super excited to be on Fury-Wilder III so I could show everybody what I am capable of,” Marshall remembered. “When I heard Tyson had COVID and the fight was postponed, it disappointed me, but I got that opportunity and figure others will be coming. I stayed in the gym. I’m very happy Chris (promoter Traietti) got me on the card in the first place.

“This is the hurt business and I’m not one of those guys afraid of a challenge. Som bojovník. The opportunity came up for this fight and I took it. I’m not one to sit at home waiting for a call. This is what I get paid to do. I’m focused on my job and not concerned about the uncontrollable.”

Marshall has won three fights in a row, all at the same venue as his August 28th boj, including his New England title-winning performance last November, when he took a unanimous 8-round decision from defending N.E. heavyweight champion Justin Rolfe. In his most recent fight this past June, Marshal fought 13-1-1 Steve Vukosa to a 10-round draw, for the vacant NABA – USA crown.

“Winning the New England title meant a lot to be because it’s my first as a pro,” Marshall added. “A lot of people thought that he’d win, and he was the defending champ. I went in there and did what I had to do and took home the belt.

“I proved that I could go 10 hard rounds with a veteran like Steve. A lot of guys on TV can’t do that. Myslel som, že som vyhral, but he’s a veteran who is well known up there. I took care of business and imposed my will on him. Steve is a good guy; I gave him a lot of respect. I watched his training wars with James Toney.”

Rising New England prospect Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (5-0, 4 KO), an undefeated welterweight from Holyoke (MA), is matched against 57-fight veteran Dewayne Wisdom in the 6-round co-featured event.

The Sumpter brothers from Pittsfield (MA), light heavyweight Steve (1-0, 1 KO) and pro-debuting heavyweight Quintin, will be in action in 4-round matches. Steve faces Tahlik Taylor and 2020 New England Novice Golden Gloves champion Quinn faces Wallace Nass Silva (0-1).
Also fighting on the undercard in 4-round bouts are Lynn, MA heavyweight Dennis Ventura vs. Andrew Nolan (0-1), Holyoke junior middleweight Carlos Castillo (2-0, 2 KO), Florida middleweight Josniel “TG” Castro (4-0, 3 KO), Lawrence, MA lightweight “El Gallo” Kevin Rodriguez (0-1), Springfield’s pro-debuting middleweight Jamer Jones, Niagara Falls junior middleweight Anthony Leaks (17-7, 7 KO), a Springfield (MA) super middleweight Laurent Humes (1-0, 1 KO).

Karta s výhradou zmeny.

The championship finals of the “Granite Chin Invitational,” sanctioned by USA Boxing, with five title matches will highlight the all-amateur evening card featuring some of future New England future champions.

In the championship match, she will meet dangerous Emily Jones (Everybody Fights Rock), of Woburn (MA).

Nashua (NH) middleweight Mike Fontanez (Nashua PAL), a 2-time N.E. Golden Gloves Champion and 2-time USA Boxing Nationals silver medalist, takes on Portland’s (ME) Wade Faria (Portland Boxing Club).

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

Zanechať komentár
QUINCY, Hmota. (Jún 1, 2021) – The main event on the June 26th “Breakout” card, v podaní Granite Chin Promotions, matches two New England heavyweights heading in opposite directions, Steve "The Gentle Giant” Vukosa (13-1, 5 KO) a “Fly” Mike Marshall (5-1, 4 KO).

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

Vukosa, fighting of out Quincy, MA, 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 KO). 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 James Toney, Evander Holyfield a Wladimir Klitschko. He’s also driven a bus for the past 15 years for the Mass Bay Transportation Authority, počnúc 4 p.m. and finishing around 2 dopoludnia, 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: ruky, 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, výhra, 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. (podporovateľ)Chris (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, fighting out of Danbury, CT, 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 Freddie Roach, who was an awesome fighter in his own right,” Marshall remarked. “This is boxing, môže sa stať čokoľvek. My job is to prepare for anything. I’ve had the best quality sparring in house with the No. 1 amateur heavyweight, Fernely Felix, Jr. My team works very hard, My manger, A.J. Galante, 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 a 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 KO), Fairfield, ME, will takes on Mexican challenger Jose Humberto “Olimpico” Corral (20-26, 12 KO) for the vacant ABF Atlantic heavyweight title.

New England welterweight champion Mike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 KO), fighting out of Holbrook, MA, will defend his title in an 8-round match against upset-mindedTyrone “Hands of Stone” Luckey (13-14-4 (9 KO).

“Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Kendrick Ball, Jr. hits home run vs. Bryan Vera

Zanechať komentár

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N.H. (Apríl 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, Jr. 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, v podaní Granite Chin Promotions, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 KO) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 KO) 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 (Spojené štáty americké) 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 –Andy Lee, Sergio Mora (dvakrát) aSerhiy 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 26th 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 26th."

VyzývateľMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 KO) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionRyan 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. Lambert managed to beat the count, but the referee stopped the fight midway through the opening round when he saw Lambert wobbling back and forth on rubbery legs.

Lanky lefthandedFrancis “The Tank” Hogan (5-0, 5 KO) graduated last night with a brilliant performance againstLarry “Slo Mo” Smith, who was in his 60th career fight. Hogan put down Smith early in the third round and caught the Texan late in the same round with a lefty-combination to the temple. Smith beat the count, but he was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round, and 20-year-old Hogan became the new New Hampshire Junior Middleweight Champion.

Former New England heavyweight championJustin “Crazy Train” Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 KO) positioned himself for another N.E. title shot with a spectacular knockout ofAlfredo “Choncho” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 KO). The 263-pound Rolfe, fighting out of Fairfield, Maine, charged across the ring at the bell and put his Arizona opponent to sleep right in his corner, when he was counted out at the 20-seconds mark.

The newest member of the fightin’ Whitley family from western Massachusetts, neporazený welterweightDenzel Whitley, cruised to his fourth victory with his fourth knockout. He drilledAquilandro Brandao late in round one and the fight was stopped by the referee.

NeporazenýJahye Brown (9-0, 7 KO) captured the vacant ABF Athletic junior middleweight title with a hard fought 8-round unanimous decision over a game Mexican opponent,Dormedes Potes (12-4-1, 9 KO).  The two fought toe-to-toe from the opening bell and Brown landed the more effective punches inside to earn the victory.

Promising middleweight prospectJulien “Black Dragon” Baptiste zlepšil na 2-0 with his second knockout, blasting outBruno Dias in the third round.

Fighting for the first time in more than eight years, Fall River, MA welterweightDustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 KO) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAnthonyAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match. 

Junior middleweightCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon dvakrát, the last closing the show late in the first round.

“Cannon” Berry stops Ibarra in 5

UBO All-America Welterweight ChampionBrandon “The Cannon” Berry (21-5-2, 13 KO) successfully defended in the afternoon card’s main event, overcoming a slow start in which he was buzzed to stop challengerGael Ibarra (5-3, 4 KO) in the fifth round.

Berry finished the fight in the fifth, when he unloaded twin barrages of unanswered punches on a trapped Ibarra until the referee waved off the fight.

“I’m glad it wasn’t a 4-round fight,” Berry said after the fight. “He was a strong guy. I was feeling it. He tested me. I want to thank my family and friends here, and Granite Chin and everybody involved in the promotion.”

V čo-predstavoval udalosť, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 KO), in a non-title fight, vyradeníTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.

Popular Boston IrishmanJimmy Torney (3-0, 3 KO) – 6’ 6”, 269 lbs. – needed only 42-seconds and one big right to stop pro-debuting heavyweightMarco Nascimento. 

Massachusetts welterweightEric “Gladiator” Goff convincingly won his pro debut againstJader Alves(0-5) as he pitched a 4-round shutout

Three-time New England Golden Gloves championDemek “Hightower” Edmonds had an awesome pro debut, dropping cruiserweightFrancisco Neto twice in round one, the second a vicious body shot ending the fight. Edmonds, a southpaw from Worcester, MA, is a college graduate and bonafide prospect to watch.

In a non-title fight, New England welterweight championMike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 KO) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, junior middleweightRynell Griffin. Ohan decked Griffin three times in the first round, the third with a left hook to the body from which Griffin was unable to beat the count.

Canadian cruiserweightYan “Wild Thing” Pellerin (11-1, 5 KO) landed two stinging rights to the body of 63-fight veteranSteve “The Spoiler” Walker, both flooring the Missouri fighter, the second resulting in an opening-round knockout for the vacant ABF Atlantic title.

Connecticut welterweightOmar “The Beast” Borday, Jr. (1101, 3 KO) dominated 65-fight journeymanDewayne Wisdom en route to a one-sided 8-round unanimous decision.

DERRY, N.H. (August 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 (Sat., Augusta. 29), in front of a near capacity crowd at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

Two world champions were in attendance to support the fighters, undefeated reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight majster Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade a“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera, dôchodcov 3-čas, 2-division title holder.

“I’m glad that tonight we took as step forward towards normalcy,” podporovateľ Chris Traietti komentoval. 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.”

Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe was crowned New England heavyweight champion by way of an 8-round unanimous decision over Tracey “Titán” Johnson v hlavnej udalosti.

Rolfe vs. Johnson II was a rematch of a 6-round majority draw last November in Quincy, Massachusetts. A lot more was at stake in the rematch, hoci, 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, na spoločnom podujatí. “I live in Massachusetts but all my fights (3-0-1) have been in New Hampshire and I train in Nashua (NH),” 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, v druhom kole. 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 Kendrick Ball, Jr., 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 Mikrofón “Bad Man” OHan, Jr. did just about everything but stop gritty Dewayne Múdrosť, who was penalized two points and officially floored once. But he survived, albeit losing a lop-sided 6-round unanimous decision to Ohan.

New England Golden rukavice majster Francis “Frank The Tank” Hogan 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 KO).

In a spirited fight, neporazený Ľahká ťažká váha Edet “Papito” Mkpanam (4-0, 3 KO) was relentless against a game Saul “Spider” Almeida, 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 Theo “The Unholy Truth” Desjardin, flooring him early and finishing him off soon after with a blistering shot, to improve to 2-0 (2 KO).

Middleweight Anthony Concepcion won by way of a third-round disqualification when his opponent, pre-debutovať Caleb Denham, ignored the referee’s instructions to continue fighting.

Middleweight Larry “Slomoshun” Kovář, fighting out of Dallas, recorded his first victory in more than nine years, taking a 4-round unanimous decision from Ježiš “The Juice” Cintron. 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 leta

Texas light heavyweight Bryan Vera vyradení Mike Anderson with a big right hand early in round one. Rozhodca Leo Gerstel immediately waved off the count right after Anderson hit the mat. Vera, who is known for his participating in Contender reality televíznej show, has defeated world champions Sergio Mora (dvakrát), then-undefeated Andy Lee a Serhiy Dzinziruk during his 16-year pro career.

Veteran junior middleweight Cliff “Magician” McPherson had no tricks for Tyrone “Hands of Stone” Luckey because he was disqualified in the second round by referee Morrell for repeated holding.

Opening the night was a cruiserweight match between Larry “Hitman” Pryor a Francisco Neto. It didn’t take long for Pryor, whose cousin was the late, Sieň slávy Aaron “Hawk” Pryor, 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.

The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 KO), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Three-time, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Kovář (10-38-1, 7 KO) 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.

 

 

 

Konečne, 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. Cítim sa skvele. 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, ale myslím ešte na jeden súboj, urobiť to 50 pre svoju profesionálnu kariéru).”

 

 

 

Jose Antonio Rivera (R) mal úspešný návratový súboj

Populárny Ball bojoval doma prvýkrát ako profesionál

 

 

 

Odvetný zápas medzi juniorskou strednou váhou Worcesteru Khiary Greyová (16-4, 12 KO) a Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 KO) skončili rovnakým spôsobom ako ich prvé stretnutie pred tromi rokmi.

Fernandez prekonal počet, ale rozhodca Bob Benoit zastavil akciu.

 

 

Southbridge, MA junior v strednej váhe Wilfredo “Sucaro” pohan (5-0, 3 KO) zostal neporazený, pomocou neľútostného útoku tela na pokles Engelberto “Guarura” Valenzuela (11-15, 3 KO) trikrát, posledný koniec súboja v polovici tretieho kola.

 

 

 

Springfield, MA junior ľahký Joshua Orta (1-0, 1 KO) sa stal pôsobivým profesionálnym debutom v stodole, ktorý skončil keď (1-8-1, 1 KO), z Worcesteru, po treťom kole nemohol pokračovať v boji.

 

 

 

Worcesterská welterová váha Eslih Owuso (1-0) pri svojom profesionálnom debute zahral shutout, palubný veterán Bryan “Tehla” Abraham (6-31-2, 6 KO) dvakrát v druhom kole, na ceste k jednomyseľným rozhodnutím víťazstvu.

 

 

 

V úvodnom zápase noci, 45-ročný Jose Angel “KO” Ortiz (5-14-1, 2 KO) klesol Patrik Leal (0-5) 10-sekúnd do boja, ešte raz neskôr v úvodnom kole, a zastavil ho v druhom.

“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera to headline “Návrat domov”

Champ je späť!
August 17 The Palladium vo Worcesteri, MA
“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald

 

WORCESTER, Hmota. (Júl 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “Gallo” Jozef Rivera returns to the ring August 17 na titulok “Návrat domov”, v podaní Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) v spolupráci s Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), The Palladium vo Worcesteri, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

Ten 45-ročný Rivera (41-6-1, 24 KO) has already lost more than 30 libier, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against Ruben “Moderný bojovník” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 KO) v osemkolovom hlavnom turnaji.

 

 

 

V 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, zastavenie Gilberto Flores v druhom kole. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, rodné mesto obľúbená Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) Majstrovstvá sveta vo welterovej váhe, v ktorom Rivera vyhral 12-kolové rozhodnutie a opasok.

 

 

 

Takmer pred 10,000 fanúšikov rodného mesta vo Worcestri, Rivera zavŕšil svoju boxerskú kariéru víťazstvom v 12-kolovom jednomyseľnom rozhodnutí 2006 nad obhajcom titulu Alejandro Garcia(25-1) o titul WBA v super welterovej váhe.

 

 

 

“Myšlienka vrátiť sa do ringu začala u môjho syna. A.J., a hovorím o prenasledovaní histórie,” Rivera je vysvetlené. “Momentálne to nevieme dať dokopy (A.J. sa narodil s rázštepom chrbtice a nebol schopný zabezpečiť lekárske vyšetrenie včas do augusta. 17th šou.), ale kvôli mojej tvrdej práci za posledných šesť mesiacov, Cítil som, že je vhodné pokračovať v boji.

 

 

 

“Propagácia Granite Chin bola veľmi nápomocná pri zabezpečení toho, aby bola táto show zostavená čo najprofesionálnejším spôsobom. Nemyslím si, že naša propagačná spoločnosť (Jos a A.J. vlastní a prevádzkuje RPE Promotions Entertainment) by to bol schopný zvládnuť. Museli sa uskutočniť všetky rokovania a ja som trénoval jediný spôsob, ako viem, na majstrovskej úrovni, bolo by toho príliš veľa, aby sme to zvládli.”

 

 

 

Akcie na žulu bradu’ spolupromotér Chuck Shearns pridaný, “Keď sme sa s Josem začali rozprávať o návrate jeho prsteňa, Bol som posledný, kto si myslel, že sa zbláznil. Boli sme priatelia počas jeho majstrovských dní a viem, aký je Jose neuveriteľne odhodlaný a disciplinovaný. Bojoval som u 49 rokov, aby som sa neporovnával s úrovňou, na ktorej bol Jose, ale viem, že sa to dá. Každý by mal vedieť, ako dobre sa o seba Jose staral počas svojej tridsiatky a štyridsiatky. Myslel som si to niekedy? Chris (Traietti, spolupromotér GCP) a ja by som bol spolupropagátorom Joseho comebacku? Do Not, ale som rád, že môžem byť zapojený a budem ho podporovať, pokiaľ to bude chcieť. Trénoval ako on 25 a Jose prekvapí niektorých ľudí.”

 

 

 

Počas vlády Riveraho titulu, na rozdiel od iných majstrov sveta, zastával tiež prácu na plný úväzok ako súdny úradník v Massachusetts Trial Court, pozíciu vo Worcestri, ktorú si stále drží 17 rokov neskôr. Medzi prácou a tréningom, nezabúda na jeho rodinné povinnosti, Josemu sa akosi darí všetko vo svojom mimoriadne rušnom živote vybalansovať.

 

 

 

“Povedzme, že to vedie k nabitému programu,” poznamenal Rivera. “Som odhodlaný postarať sa o svoju rodinu a urobím všetko, čo bude potrebné. Pred prácou väčšinou behávam a po práci trénujem. Začať skoro a skončiť neskoro znamená rušné dni, ale prácu treba dokončiť. Práve teraz, Som uprostred najťažšieho obdobia tréningu. Týždeň boja je skôr o psychickej príprave a priberaní. Počas týždňa boja nemôžete urobiť nič, čo by vám pomohlo dostať sa do lepšej formy.”

 

 

 

Rivera si nerobí ilúzie, že jeho comeback povedie k ďalšiemu veľkému svetovému titulu. V pláne je, že bude mať ešte dva súboje, aby dosiahol súčet 50 ako pre, ale berie veci jeden boj za druhým, a stále dúfa v ďalší boj, predbežne naplánované na koniec tohto roka, bude na rovnakej karte ako profesionálny debut jeho syna.

 

 

 

Rivera naposledy bojoval 2011, prijatie osemkolového rozhodnutia Paul Mpendo, v Mohegan Sun Arena v Connecticute. Bojom preverený Galvan, jeho aug. 17th súpera z Indiany, bojoval s ďalšími majstrami sveta, Počítajúc do toho Zab Judah, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., Jorge Paez a Paul Spadafora.

 

 

 

“Počul som, že prichádza bojovať a že sa rád trochu poblázni, aby sa pokúsil dostať do hlavy svojho súpera,” dodal Rivera. Sústredil som sa na seba, moje načasovanie a zameranie sa na herný plán

 

 

 

“Tréning na tento boj bol viac mentálny ako čokoľvek iné. Bol som schopný dosiahnuť špičkový výkon pri 45 trénovať ako v najlepších rokoch. Najdôležitejšie je, že, pracovať s mojím trénerom Sean Fitzgerald, Zameral som sa na to, aby sa moje načasovanie zlepšilo, pretože uplynulo sedem rokov, čo som naposledy bojoval.

 

 

 

“A, samozrejme, Je to vždy skvelý pocit boxovať pred fanúšikmi môjho rodného mesta. Ich podpora je vždy ocenená.”
