Rematch of 2021 N.E. Fight of the Year Wilfredo Pagan vs. Carlos Marrero, III headlines “New England’s Future VIII” Dec. 18th in Webster, Massachusetts

Desembre 2, 2021 FNU47 Leave a comment

ME Poster.jpg — **Desembre. 18^º in Webster, Massachusetts**

**WORCESTER, Missa. (Novembre 29, 2021)** – The rematch of the unofficial 2021 New England Fight of the Year will headline the December 18^º “New England Future VIII” event, presentat per Rivera Promocions Entreteniment (RPE), highlighting Webster’s (Massachusetts) first professional boxing event in 27 any, at Webster Town Hall.

Puerto Rico-native Wilfredo “El Sucaro” Pagan (6-1-1, 3 KOs), fighting out of Southbridge (Massachusetts), and Bridgeport’s (Connecticut) Carlos Marrero, III (2-6-2), fought to an entertaining 6-round split draw this past August 14^º a Worcester (Massachusetts).

“I am very excited we were able to get the rematch between Pagan and Marrero so quick,” RPE promoter Jose Antonio Rivera commented. “These two warriors put their heart and soul in their last fight and the fans were not disappointed. As a promoter these are the type of fights we love to put together. We are 3 weeks away from another great boxing event to see some talented up and coming future champions. Webster Town Hall is going to be electric!"

Pagan and Marrero will be fighting once again for the vacant New England Super Lightweight Championship in the Dec.18^º 6-round main event.

The original Pagan-Marrero was non-stop, action-packed throw-down which the judges’ scored 58-56 in favor or Pagan, 55-59 for Marrero, i 57-57. The scoring was originally announced as a split-decision win for Marrero but, in retrospect, both fighters have taken the emotional outcome changes in stride. Some fuel, encara que, has been poured on the fire, largely through social media.

“When the fight was done,” Pagan commented, “as a fighter, you know if your fight was won, lost or very close. It was a little close, but that I won the fight. When the decision was announced that he had won, I closed my eyes, because it reminded me of my amateur career. I definitely won a few fights, I dominated, but I didn’t get the decision. Anything can happen when it goes into the judges’ hands. The judges didn’t see me winning, bo, but then they reversed the decision. I thought that they had gotten it right and I had won, but it was announced as a draw. És el que és, bo, because the judges’ job isn’t as easy as people think. They saw ups and downs and had it a draw.

“II was thinking, here we go again, when it was announced a draw,” Marrero said. “For some reason, every time I fight in Massachusetts it’s always controversial. I had dropped to my knees in happiness and when the second announcement was made, I thought they were giving him the win. A draw? I’m not upset but I was surprised because I felt I had won. I went home thinking it was a draw, not a loss, and hopefully we’d have a rematch. And we do December 18^º."

Pagan vs. Marrero is an example of not needing two great fighters to have a great fight. They’re evenly matched and both fighters have tremendous heart.

“People had asked if I wanted a rematch and I said, si, I’m thinking about it because it was a draw,” Pagan offered. “I wasn’t going to say no if it was offered, but the No. 1 reason for me to fight him is for the New England Championship. As long as I fought him for the title, I was for it because I want to fight for the belt and that’s what is my target. That was my feeling at the beginning, but things changed a little, because he changed. I don’t know what people told him, I’m not some kid and I had a lot of respect for him. But then he started texting me. I don’t know if it was to spice up this fight, but he crossed the line. He said a lot he shouldn’t have said. I’ always humble and respect all fighters because they’re risking their lives. I don’t know why he said what he did, but he’s given me even more motivation. I want that belt! I’m training double to beat him and shut his month. I still have some respect for him, but it’s not the same.

“I made a lot of mistakes in our first fight and made the fight much harder than it was supposed to be. I’ve been working on adjustment and, hopefully, de desembre 18^º it will pay-off.”

“I always have a little room for improvement after a fight, and we saw some things I needed to improve for the rematch,” Marrero explained. “I’m more mentally prepared to do things and will be much smarter in the ring. Físicament, I’m a lot stronger and sharper. The key for me is being mentally prepared and sharper. His (Pagan’s) opponent for his last fight fell out and my manager, Nate Torres, contacted me saying I had been offered an opportunity to fight Pagan. Without hesitation, Vaig dir si. I’m always in the gym and ready to fight. I came in 2-pounds under and I’m on weight right now for this fight. The only thing I had to prepare for is he’s a southpaw.

“We had a great fight. He probably thinks he won a few rounds, I felt I won the fight. He missed more and I connected with the cleaner punches the judges could see. In the third or fourth round, I hurt him with a body shot. He folded and I hit him with another good shot.”

En l'esdeveniment co estel·lar, Danbury (Connecticut) super lightweight Omar “The Beast” Bordoy (11-1, 3 KOs) faces an opponent to be determined in the 6-round match.

Promising Boca Raton (Florida) super welterweight prospect Josniel “TG” Castro (7-0, 5 KOs) is steps up in terms of quality opposition in a 6-rounder versus Lenwood “Mr. Composure” Dozier (10-28-3, 5 KOs).

Worcester super middleweight Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (3-0-1), a two-time national amateur champion and World Games Silver medalist, will meet David Rohn (0-10-1) in a 4-round super middleweight bout.

Undefeated Worcester cruiserweight prospect Derek “Hightower” Edmonds (3-0, 2 KOs), a 3-time N.E. Campió dels Guants d'Or, has been added to the card in a 4-round bout against TBA.

Jose Antonio Rivera Dedicates “Quest For 50” to Worcester Boys & Girls club

Maig 17, 2019 FNU47 Leave a comment

(L-R) – José Antonio Rivera, current WBC Youth super lightweight champion Jermaine Ortiz
(11-0, 6 KOs) and Carlos Garcia

WORCESTER, MISSA (Maig 16, 2019) – Tres vegades, de dues divisions campió del món “El Gall” José Antonio Rivera is dedicating his 50^º pro fight, the last in his hometown of Worcester, to the Boys & Girls Club in Worcester, Massachusetts. A portion of the proceeds from “Quest For 50,” presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP) and Rivera Promotions Entertainment, will benefit the Boys & Girls club.

The 46-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 KOs) faces former WFC champion **Travis “Sweet Feet” De Scott** (19-5, 5 KOs), of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in the eight-round main event at The Palladium in Worcester.

Rivera, a full-time court officer in Worcester, has had a special relationship for more than 30 years with the Worcester Boys & Girls Club and its director of boxing, **Carlos García**, que és “The Godfather of Worcester Boxing.”

Rivera moved to Worcester from Springfield 30 years ago at the age of 16 to pursue a boxing career, which included being coached by Garcia. Rivera had siblings and other relatives living in Worcester and after living with an aunt for a month, Jose moved into an apartment with another boxer, four-time national amateur champion **Bobby Harris**.

“The Worcester Boys & Girls Club helped me stay off the streets so I could focus on my dream of becoming world champion,” Rivera remembered. “It was a place for me and so many others to go and be safe. Nens, not just boxers, can be kids there, where they don’t have to worry about what’s happening in the streets.

“Carlos has played a tremendous part of my life and so many others, influencing us not only to become good boxers, but to be good people in the community. That was always so important to him and he emphasized being a good person. Vaig fer tot el possible. He was always fair across the board and gave us all opportunities. He took a liking to me and brags that he never had to throw me out of the Boys & Girls club. I graduated from high school and went after my dream in 1992 when I turned pro. Carlos is big in amateur boxing, but not so much with pros, because he doesn’t have the time to train pros. I made sure that when turned pro, tough, that he was part of my team. And he’s still a big part of my team and life.”

The number of Worcester youths Garcia has had a positive effect on, life-changing in many respects, is countless. One of those many people is Jose’s longtime friend and his current head trainer, **Sean Fitzgerald**, who retired as a boxer in 2001 amb una 29-2-2 pro record. “Fitzy” remembers the fir time he read the sign over the door in the gym at the Boys & Girls club: “Better to seat than bleed.”

Fitzy lived with his father when his parents divorced and at the age of 10, his father sent him to the Boys & Girls Club to attend an after-school program. “Fitzy” said he had to earn his way into Garcia’s good graces.

“Carlos didn’t talk to me for the first 5-6 weeks,” Fitzgerald explained. “Llavors, he put me in the ring as a sparring partner, and I was badly beaten. I had a bloody nose and black eye, but the next day I came back, and the rest is history. Carlos was a great mentor, rough at times, but always there for you. I remember seeing the boxing team jackets. It intrigued me. When I got my jacket and started wearing it, I got respect from everybody, and then I knew that I belonged. I learned a lot about life at the Boys & Girls club, being with there with people from different generations and cultures. I met many friends there who I never would have met.

“The Boys & Girls Club is safe. I was from a tough area in Worcester. My father worked and it was easy to get in trouble with no supervision. Carlos stayed on top of me to graduate from school and if I was home sick, he come buy with chicken soup to make sure I was alright. My father was in my life big-time, but I joke that I had two moms growing up, my father and Carlos. Going to the Boys & Girls Club was something to look forward to every day.

“Carlos always taught us to never make the mistakes he did in life. He wanted us to go to school, stay out of trouble, and be a good person. He’s helped so many people over the years. Look around Worcester and you’ll see them: police and court officers, fire fighters, and so many others. The Boys & Girls Club was a great experience for me and so many other kids from Worcester.”

(L-R) – Ray Semidei, Carlos Garcia and Jose Antonio Rivera

Garcia has been the director of boxing at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club since 1982. Two year ago, Garcia was inductred into the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame.

“Never in his life has Jose even raised his voice to me,” Garcia commented. “He treats me like his father and he’s like one of my sons. There aren’t not too many guys like him and he’s so well respected in the community. He came to Worcester from Springfield to train with ne and stayed with me. Jose helps everyone and now he’s promoting to help local boxers.

“We’re at the Boys & Girls Club to and that’s the way it really is here. It’s so good to see so many in this community who’ve gone through our boxing program and are good people, good husbands, good parents. It makes me feel so proud. ‘Fitzy’ was a hyper kid. He’s a real gentleman who now does so much for kids here. I’ve never had a signed contract with any of the pro boxers I’ve worked with because I trust them.”

Richard “Popeye el mariner” Rivera Finishes off Kevin Cobbs in 3 with super uppercut

WORCESTER, Missa. (Febrer 11, 2018) – Undefeated prospect Richard “Popeye el mariner” Rivera rematada Kevin “El New England Bully” Cobbs a la tercera ronda, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “de Nova Anglaterra Futur 5” targeta, presentat per Rivera Promocions Entreteniment, al Palladium a Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 KOs) fought once again in front of his large, traveling fanbase from Hartford, Connecticut, capturing the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) light heavyweight title in dramatic fashion. The charismatic Hartford boxer ended his third consecutive match with what has become his trademark right-uppercut.

Rivera used his strength, energy and determined will to defeat South Boston’s Cobbs (10-3, 4 KOs), whose previous fight had been more than a year ago, when he was stopped in the second round by now world champion David Benavidez.

In only his sixth pro fight, the key question going into the bout was whether Rivera was ready to effectively step up in class to face a more experienced Cobbs. Right from the opening bell, the answer was a resounding, si, as Rivera pounded Cobbs with powerful shots to the body and head.

Cobbs was dropped three times in the third round, one was ruled a push, and the end came when referee Jackie Morrell halted the action at the 2:51 as a reeling Cobbs was blasted backwards from the Rivera’s previously mentioned uppercut.

The beginning of the end for Cobbs (L) as Rivera sets up his vaunted uppercut

“I stepped things up in the third,” Rivera ha explicat. “He stopped throwing as many punches in the third and was ducking in. I said I wasn’t going to look for the knockout but, if it came, I’d take it. I got him with my uppercut. I respect Cobbs and thank him for giving me this opportunity.”

En l'esdeveniment co estel·lar, favorit local Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-2) fought to a four-round majority draw.

Super middleweight Troy “Omar KO artista” artista (5-7-1, 3 KOs), de Danbury, Connecticut, upset intrastate rival Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-2, 3 KOs), of Hartford, winning a six-round majority decision.

Danbury, CT junior welterweight Omar Bordoy, Jr. (4-0-, 1 KO) used a blistering body attack to defeat Seth Basler (0-5) by way of a lop-sided four-round unanimous decision.

Junior welterweight prospect Wilfredo “el Sucaro” pagà (4-0, 2 KOs) floored veteran Bryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-29-2, 6 KOs) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. A la segona ronda, pagà, of Southbridge, MA., drilled Abraham who went flying across the ring and into the ropes as referee Jackie Morrell halted the bout.

Springfield, MA junior middleweight Derrick “Noi dolent” Whitley (3-0) cruised to a dominating four-round unanimous decision over Cleveland’s Roger Blankenship (1-3), pitching a complete shutout in the process.

Bridgeport, CT welterweight Joe Goss (1-0) turned in an impressive pro debut, dropping Montreal’s Samuel Vasquez (1-3, 1 KO) in the second round on his way to a four-round unanimous decision.

Puerto Rican junior lightweight Luis “Lobito” Rivera (4-3, 1 KOs) overcame a nasty cut over his eye to win a hard-fought four-round majority decision over Carlos Marrero, III (0-2), de Bridgeport, Connecticut, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA light heavyweight Rayo “bazuca” Graceski (5-0-1, 3 KOs) and International Muay Thai fighter, Harford’s pro boxing debuting Pawel Banasiak (0-1-0), fought to a four-round draw in an entertaining brawl.

Puerto Rican super middleweight Jelame García (7-0, 6 KOs), fighting out of Lynn, MA., remained undefeated but Nathan Schulte (0-5), de Woburn, Massachusetts, extended him the full distance for first time as a pro en route to a four-round unanimous decision.

Encara estic aprenent a la feina, però sóc més hàbil del que era l'última vegada que va barallar. Sóc un camaleó boxa: Puc boxejar o colpejar a contrarestar l'estil de la meva oponent.”

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “de Nova Anglaterra Futur 5”

Gener 25, 2018 FNU47 Leave a comment

“de Nova Anglaterra Futur 5”

Febrer. 10 a Worcester, Massachusetts

WORCESTER, Missa. (Gener 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, welter júnior Omar Bordoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10^º a “de Nova Anglaterra Futur 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), al Palladium a Worcester.

Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alejandro “el Bravo” cop de gràcia (2-4-1), in a four-round bout. “My opponent is tough, and he always comes to fight,” Bordoy said. “He keeps coming forward and that’s going to make for an exciting fight.”

The 22-year-old Bordoy is the typical example of a volatile teenager who found his way in boxing. He was a high school football player who started boxing at the age of 17. Bordoy had an abbreviated amateur career, highlighted by his winning performance at the New England Golden Gloves as a novice boxer.

“I was a bad hot head as a kid,” Bordoy admitted. “Un dia, my cousin Edgardo, invited me to his gym after football practice and he beat me up. I was knocked down a few notches. I got into boxing and enjoyed watching Miguel Cotto i Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Ara, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker o Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I’m a come- forward boxer who can still brawl. I’m working on my defense and feel that making adjustments in the ring is what I do best.”

Bordoy, Jr. credits Team Bordoy — gerent A. J. Galante, entrenador en cap Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi i Dave McDonough – for his success.

“I’m pleased to be with the right people to bring me to the top and I’m willing to do what’s needed to get there,” Bordoy added.

Bordoy, who works fulltime as a repair technician, made his pro debut last May and he fought a total of three times in 2017, his most recent last October in Worcester on an RPE-promoted show, in which he stopped 34-fight veteran Bryan Abraham en la quarta ronda.

“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” promotor José Antonio Rivera remarked. “I am proud of Omar and his accomplishments so far. He is a young, throwback fighter with a lot of potential. I see big things in his future and I am glad to see he is being guided in the right direction by his team.”

CITES DE CONFERÈNCIES DE PREMSA

Jose Rivera, RPE CEO: “I’m excited because a press conference means the fights are getting closer. We plan to build our promotional company this year. There is a lot of talent in New England and that’s why we have so many Connecticut fighters on this card. I want the fighters here to understand the importance of a press conference. They will gain valuable experience speaking in public and being interviewed by the media. One of the primary reasons we’re promoting is to give young fighters a platform to box and prepare them for their pro careers.”

A. J. Rivera, RPE President/Matchmaker: “The support we’ve received has been tremendous and we exceeded expectations in our first year. This is just the begining for RPE. We’re going to get better this year. We’re not satisfied just being a small promotional company. Boxing is the loneliest sport in the world and these boxers need fans’ support. There’s a lot of talent in New England and much of it is concentrated in Connecticut. We have more Connecticut fighters on this card than fighters from Massachusetts.”

Richard Rivera: “Aquesta és una gran oportunitat per a mi. Rivera Promotions accomplished so much in its first year. I fought in the co-main twice of two previous RPE shows I fought on. This is going to be an awesome show, not just the main event. There are competitive boxers up and down the card. No parpellejar, don’t go to the bathroom because any one of these fights could end at any time.”

“This is a big step up for my career. Boxing is my passion. We’re both coming to fight. Victòria, lose or draw we’ll see who the Alpha dog is at the end. “I’m ‘Popeye The Sailor Man’, and I’m good to the finish because I eat my spinach.”

Kevin Cobbs: “I respect Rivera and believe in what I hear. He seems like a good dude. I’m excited about this fight. A lot of people weren’t sure about what I was doing because I hadn’t fought en dos anys quan vaig rebre la trucada (to fight Rivera). Boxing took me out of the space was in and I never stopped boxing. This is going to be a big year for the Rivera’s. I like to switch it up and I’m ready to go.”

Bobby Harris, III: “My opponent wants to redeem his brother’s loss to me. I want to thank RPE for putting me in the co-feature in only my third pro fight. My first two fights were a learning experience and this fight I’m looking to make a statement to showcase my talents. I have a lot to prove as the only Worcester fighter on this card.”

Omar Bordoy, Jr: “I’m fighting a tough opponent. Fighting is easier for me than talking up here. I’m fighting a guy from Hartford. I have a lot of love for his trainer and Hartford. I want my hand raised at the end of the fight.”

Derrick Whitley: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions for putting me on this card. I fought on two of their shows last year and came out 2-0. I’m looking to be 3-0. It was a learning experience going from the amateurs to pros. Everybody’s goal is to raise your level. I’m in the best shape of my life for this fight and doing things in the gym I’ve never done before. I’m looking for a stoppage.”

Wilfredo Pagan: “Estic 37 years old and I’ve always had a glad to fight at least one pro fight. A couple of fights fell through but the Riveras opened the doors for me. I put it all into my fights. I was looking for one fight and this will be my fourth. I’m going to be 4-0.”

Carlos Marraro, III: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions for the opportunity to showcase my talents February 10^º. This will be my first fight on a Rivera Promotions card, but I’m familiar with most of the fighters on this card.”

WORCESTER, Missa. (Gener 8, 2018) – Un dels més populars prospectes de la boxa de Nova Anglaterra, invicta Hartford (Connecticut) pes semipesado Richard “Popeye el mariner” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOs), encapçalarà el seu tercer espectacle Dissabte nit, Febrer 10, al Palladium a Worcester, Massachusetts.

En la cinquena entrega de la “Futur de Nova Anglaterra” sèrie, presentat per Rivera Promocions Entreteniment (RPE), els 27 anys d'edat, Rivera es reuneix Kevin “Kray 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOs), lluitant fora de Burlington (Vermont), pel vacant Federació Universal Boxing (UBF) Títol de Nova Anglaterra en l'esdeveniment principal de vuit assalts.

Rivera, qui era un 2016 campió del Torneig de Rocky Marcià, ve d'una sensacional segona ronda eliminatòria de 146 veterans de la baralla Roberto Valenzuela el desembre passat 9 a Hampton, New Hampshire.

“Estic molt emocionat de tenir Richie boxa pel títol UBF Nova Anglaterra tan d'hora en la seva carrera professional,”” dit promotor José Antonio Rivera, el retirat 3-temps, 2-campió del món de la divisió. “Aquesta és la tercera vegada que hem tingut el privilegi de lluitar en una de les nostres targetes. Va lluitar en l'esdeveniment principal del nostre últim concert (octubre) en el DCU Center. Rivera es veu millor i més tallant cada vegada que el miro lluita. Veig grans coses per a ell venir. Ell té les eines i la disciplina un entrenador busca i un boxejador necessita per convertir-se en campió del món. El cel és el límit per a Richard i, per ara, estem agraïts a jugar una petita part per ajudar a desenvolupar la seva carrera professional.”

Rivera ha comercialitzat amb èxit el seu personatge de Popeye durant la seva jove carrera en la boxa professional, portant una gorra de mariner al ring amb un penjoll tradicional tub de Popeye-com a la boca. “Hi ha diverses raons per al meu pseudònim, 'Popeye', però quan jo era molt jove,” Rivera ha explicat, “Tenia anormalment grans avantbraços. Només em va quedar gravada a través dels anys, quan la gent es referia a mi al gimnàs, pel que m'he trobat amb ell. Estic portant de tornada a la vida amb paciència Hartford, tota Nova Anglaterra, amb paciència, la perseverança i l'estil. Jo visc al moment.”

Tot i que no va guanyar molts premis o tornejos importants com un boxejador amateur, Rivera va guanyar una valuosa experiència boxa molts dels millors aficionats a Nova Anglaterra i en esdeveniments nacionals, així com espàrring amb els gustos dels ex campions del món Peter “Kid Xocolata” Quillin, Txad Dawson i Joe Smith, Jr. També va aprendre durant la seva permanència en el ring amb l'ex reptadors al títol Israel “més aviat” Cardona i John Scully.

“Em vaig prendre el meu temps es va convertir en professional, perquè no tenia un sistema de suport per aconseguir-me al següent nivell,” Rivera ha assenyalat. “estava insegura. Els comentaris positius que he rebut dels combatents que va discutir s'alimenta en la meva confiança. Ara, només en la meva sisena baralla professional, Em serà cap de cartell per tercera vegada, i lluitar pel meu primer títol. No puc gràcies als Rivera (Josep i el seu fill, A. J.) suficient per al que han fet per mi. Han cregut en mi.”

Primer, Rivera era una mica reticents a lluitar contra el més experimentat, però Cobb, després de fer algunes investigacions, va acceptar el repte. “Jo estava una mica nerviós al principi,” admetre. “Alguns estaven qüestionant si estava llest per entrar a lluitar contra ell. Vaig fer algunes investigacions: que no va tenir una carrera amateur més gran, o lluitat més de sis o vuit rondes de baralles que jo. I jo era el company d'entrenament per al primer programa per vèncer-, Tyron Burris(TKO2 en 2012). Estic a punt! Estic 27 i la necessitat d'una baralla com aquesta.”

Dues vegades campió nacional amateur de Worcester Bobby “BH3” Harris, III compleix amb els mitjans del Brasil Saul Almeida (0-8-1) En l'esdeveniment co-estel·lar de quatre rondes.

Lluitant a la cartellera, tot en combats de quatre assalts, estan augmentant New Haven (Connecticut) prospecte súper mitjà Elvis Figueroa (3-0, 1 KO), 1 tres vegades EUA Boxa Campionat Nacionals medallista d'or, vs. TBA, ploma Worcester Ranse Andino (1-0) vs. Alex Montes (1-2-1), de Lawrence (Massachusetts), Danbury (Connecticut) welter Omar Bordoy, Jr. (2-0) vs. invasor de Puerto Rico Alejandro “el Bravo” cop de gràcia (2-4-1), Southbridge (Massachusetts) welter Wilfredo “el Sucaro” pagà (3-0, 1 KO) vs. pro-debutant Nick Peralta, de Lawrence, invicta Springfield (Massachusetts) pes semipesado Rayo “bazuca” Graceski (5-0, 3 KOs). vs. pro-debutant de Hartford Paul Bansiak, Hartford mitjà júnior Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-1, 3 KOs) vs. Troy “Omar KO artista” artista(4-7-1 (3 KOs), welter Springfield Derrick “Double Impact” Whitley (2-0) vs. Roger Blankenship (1-2), invicte de pes mitjà de Puerto Rico Jelame García (6-0, 6 KOs) vs. Brasiler Rodrigo Almeida 1-7), Meriden (Connecticut) pes gall James Aquino (6-0, 6 KOs), 2016 campió dels Guants d'Or de Nova Anglaterra, vs. Luis Rivera (3-3) i el welter pro-debutant de Hartford Joseph Goss vs. Seth Basler (0-3).

“NEW ENGLAND’S FUTURE 4” RESULTATS

Gabriel Gonzaga (R) won his pro boxing debut

WORCESTER, Missa. (Octubre 29, 2017) – Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga has a successful pro boxing debut last night (Dissabte, Octubre. 28) in the co-featured event on the “New England’s Future 4” targeta, presentat per Rivera Promocions Entreteniment (RPE), at DCU Center, Exhibition Hall, a Worcester.

El 6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (Massachusetts), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, de Tampa (Florida). Gonzaga stalked the southpaw Santiago, landing some hard shots in the opening round. The heavy-handed Gonzaga picked up the pace in the third and his upset-minded opponent responded in a positive fashion. Both fighters exchanged freely in the fourth and final round, neither was hurt during the contest, and Gonzaga was awarded a win by four-round majority decision.

“I thought I’d be more relaxed in the ring like I had been in the gym,” Gonzaga said. “I did my best and came away with a victory. I was too safe in the third round. My punches were much strong and a lot of his punches I blocked with my gloves. This was really great! aquesta nit”

Gonzaga (L) defeated Santiago

“I felt good and gave it my all,” Santiago remarked. “He hit me with some shots and gave ’em back. Not only does he have a big nose (“Napao”), he has a strong, big head, també.”

En l'esdeveniment principal, popular Hartford (Connecticut) pes semipesado Richard “Popeye el mariner” Rivera romàs invicte, improving his record to 4-0 (3 KOs), with a first-round knockout of an over-matched Hansen Castillo (0-3)

Rivera, not relations to the promoter, first dropped Castillo with a beautifully placed left uppercut and finished the show moments later with a left hook that sent Castillo flying to canvas. Àrbitre Kevin Hope didn’t bother to count.

“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” Rivera ha explicat. “I saw that he had his left down and caught him with an uppercut. I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach.”

New Haven junior middleweight Edwin Sosa (11-2-2, 4 KOs) overcame at 15-pound disadvantage, at the very least, en route to a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Antonio “The Animal” Everett (1-7), of Rowley (Massachusetts).

Danbury (Connecticut) welter júnior Omar Bordoy, Jr. (3-0, 1 KO) stopped New York veteran Bryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-31, 6 KOs) in the fourth and final round. Abraham was decked twice and after counting to 10 after Abraham’s second time on the canvas, referee Paul Casey waved off the action.

Three-time national amateur champion Elvis “Chi Chi” Figueroa (3-0, 1 KO), fighting out of New Haven, pitched a complete shutout over a game, pro-debutant Rene Nazare(0-1), del Brasil, for a convincing win by way of a four-round unanimous decision.

Southbridge (Massachusetts) welter Wilfredo “el Sucaro” pagà (3-0, 1 KO) pinnedPatrick Leal (0-4), de Woburn, on the ropes early, dropping him three times until referee Casey halted the fight midway through the opening round.
