“Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Кендрицк Балл, Јр. hits home run vs. Брајан Вјера
“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire
DERRY, Н.Х. (Април 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, Јр. 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, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.
The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 КОс) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 КОс) 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 (ВБЦ) УСНБЦ (Сједињене Америчке државе) 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 –Енди Ли, Сергио Мора (двапут) иSerhiy 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 26тх 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 26тх."
ИзазивачMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 КОс) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionРајан Дибартоломео (3-2-1, 1 КО) 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 КОс) graduated last night with a brilliant performance againstLarry “Slo Mo” Smith, who was in his 60тх 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 КОс) positioned himself for another N.E. title shot with a spectacular knockout ofAlfredo “Choncho” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 КО). The 263-pound Rolfe, fighting out of Fairfield, Мејн, 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, непоражен велтерDenzel 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.
НепораженJahye Brown (9-0, 7 КОс) 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 КОс). 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 побољшан на 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 КОс) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingАнтонијеAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match.
Јуниор средњојCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon двапут, 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 КОс) 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 КОс) 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.”
У сарадњи-феатуред догађај, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 КОс), in a non-title fight, нокаутираоTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.
Popular Boston IrishmanJimmy Torney (3-0, 3 КОс) – 6’ 6”, 269 кг. – 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, Мр, is a college graduate and bonafide prospect to watch.
In a non-title fight, New England welterweight championMike “Bad Man” Ohan, Јр. (12-1, 6 КОс) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, Јуниор средњојRynell 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 КОс) 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.

The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 КОс), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Троструки, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Ковач (10-38-1, 7 КОс) 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.
Коначно, 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. Одлично се осећам. 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).”

The popular Ball was fighting at home for the first time as a professional
The rematch between Worcester junior middleweight Khiary Gray (16-4, 12 КОс) и Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 КОс) ended in the same fashion as their first encounter did three years ago. Also fighting at home for the first time, Gray blasted out his game opponent, cracking him with a picture-perfect, left-fight combination that put Fernandez on his back. Fernandez beat the count, but referee Bob Benoit halted the action.
соутхбридге, MA junior middleweight Вилфредо “Суцаро” паган (5-0, 3 КОс) остала непоражена, using a relentless body attack to drop Engelberto “Guarura” Валензуела (11-15, 3 КОс) три пута, the last ending the fight midway through the third round.
спрингфиелд, MA junior lightweight Joshua Orta (1-0, 1 КО) turned in an impressive pro debut in a barn-burner that ended when (1-8-1, 1 КО), of Worcester, was unable to continue fighting after the third round.
Worcester welterweight Eslih Owuso (1-0) pitched a shutout in his pro debut, decking veteran Брајан “The Brick” Аврам (6-31-2, 6 КОс) два пута у другом кругу, на путу за једногласном одлуком победу.

“Галло” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald

ВОРЦЕСТЕР,, Маса. (Јул 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “Галло” Jose Rivera returns to the ring August 17 да наслова “Повратак кући”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (ИСП) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), ат тхе Палладиум ин Ворцестер, Масачусетс.
The 45-year-old Ривера (41-6-1, 24 КОс) has already lost more than 30 фунти, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 КОс) in the eight-round main event.
У 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (ИБО) World welterweight title, заустављање Гилберто Флорес у другом кругу. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, родни град омиљена Мицхел Трабант (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (ВБА) 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 Алејандро Гарциа(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.
“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. А.Ј., and I talking about chasing history,” ривера објаснио. “We are not able to put that together right now (А.Ј. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17тх 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.”
Granite Chin Promotions’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns додао, “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. Борио сам се у 49 година стар, 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 Крис (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? До Нот, 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. Odmah, 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 као професионалац, 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. 17тх opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Укључујући Заб Јудах, Јулио Цесар Цхавез, Јр., Јорге Паез и 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.
“И, наравно, it’s always a great feeling to box in front of my hometown fans. Their support is always appreciated.”
