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

December 2, 2021 FNU47 Lämna en kommentar

ME Poster.jpg — **December. 18^th in Webster, Massachusetts**

**WORCESTER, Mäss. (November 29, 2021)** – The rematch of the unofficial 2021 New England Fight of the Year will headline the December 18^th “New England Future VIII” event, presenteras av Rivera Promotions Underhållning (RPE), highlighting Webster’s (MA) first professional boxing event in 27 år, at Webster Town Hall.

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

“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^th 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, och 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, fast, 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, okay, 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. Det är vad det är, okay, 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,”Sa Marrero. “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^th."

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, ja, 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, december 18^th 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. Fysiskt, 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, Jag sa ja. 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.”

I co-featured händelse, Danbury (CT) super lightweight Omar “The Beast” Bordoy (11-1, 3 Kos) faces an opponent to be determined in the 6-round match.

Promising Boca Raton (FL) 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. Golden Gloves mästare, has been added to the card in a 4-round bout against TBA.

Worcester middleweight Eslih Owusu (6-0, 4 Kos), a native of Ghana, faces Anthony Everett (1-0), av Lawrence, in a 4-rounder.

Also fighting on the under undercard in 4-round matches are New Haven (CT) super lightweight Anuel Rosa (2-0, 2 Kos) vs. Stacy Anderson (0-8), and Bridgeport super lightweight Oscar Bonilla (6-3-2, 1 KO) vs. Seth Basler (0-17).

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

Maj 17, 2019 FNU47 Lämna en kommentar

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

WORCESTER, MASSA (Maj 16, 2019) – Tre-tid, champion två division världen “Den Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera is dedicating his 50^th pro-kamp, 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” 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 Garcia**, som är “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. Kids, 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. Jag gjorde mitt bästa. 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, tuff, 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 med en 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. “Sedan, 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 The Sailor Man” Rivera Finishes off Kevin Cobbs in 3 with super uppercut

WORCESTER, Mäss. (Februari 11, 2018) – Undefeated utsikter Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera avslutade Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs i den tredje omgången, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New England framtid 5” kort, presenteras av Rivera Promotions Underhållning, vid The Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 Kos) fought once again in front of his large, traveling fanbase from Hartford, CT, 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, ja, 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 förklarade. “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.”

I co-featured händelse, hemstad favorit 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 konstnär” artist (5-7-1, 3 Kos), av Danbury, CT, upset intrastate rival Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-2, 3 Kos), från 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 “den Sucaro” Hednisk (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. I den andra omgången, Hednisk, 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 “Dålig pojke” Whitley (3-0) cruised to a dominating four-round unanimous decision over Cleveland’s Roger Blanken (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), av Bridge, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA light heavyweight Ray “Bazooka” 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 Garcia (7-0, 6 Kos), fighting out of Lynn, MA., remained undefeated but Nathan Schulte (0-5), av Woburn, MA, extended him the full distance for first time as a pro en route to a four-round unanimous decision.

Fights Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera i

“New England framtid 5” main event

“New England framtid 5”

Februari. 10 i Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Mäss. (Januari 31, 2018) — Lätt tungvikt Kevin “The New England Bully” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Kos”, representerar George Foreman III’S Everybody Fights gym i South Boston (MA), kommer att vara tillbaka i ringen efter en relativt lång paus, Februari 10^th mot obesegrad Hartford (CT) utsikter Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 Kos), vid The Palladium i Worcester.

Rivera vs. Cobbs kommer att slåss för den lediga Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England lätt tungvikt titel

i de åtta-omgången “New England framtid 5” main event. “Nya England';s Future 5″, presenteras av Rivera Promotions Underhållning (RPE)”, är den femte delen av den populära “New England Future-serien.”

“Vi är mycket glada över att kunna har satt ihop en kamp av den här kalibern,” promotorJose Antonio Rivera kommenterade. “Dessa är den typ av kamp som boxning fans älskar att titta på. Cobbs är en beprövad utmanare som har stora slagsmål erfarenhet. It’s good to see he is confident in his abilities to take on Rivera, en obesegrad up-and-coming utsikter med en mycket ljus framtid.”

Den 33-åriga Cobbs har inte kämpat i mer än två år, eftersom han stoppades i den andra omgången av sensationella David Benavidez (19-0, 17 Kos), 21-åriga Regerande World Boxing Council (WBC) Super mellanvikt världsmästare.

“Folk trodde att jag hade fått ut ur boxning,” Cobbs förklarade. “”Jag slutade aldrig utbildning, Jag kan bara inte hade några slagsmål sedan Benavidez kampen. Jag är en personlig tränare och nu är jag tillbaka i boxning form. Jag lämnade aldrig boxning! Denna kamp är en stor möjlighet för mig. Det kan öppna dörrar för vad min läger beslutar. Mitt jobb är att göra vad som behövs i kvadrat cirkeln.”

Rivera har haft bara fem pro slagsmål och inte har en rik amatör stamtavla. Han har aldrig varit i ringen med någon nära Benavidez. Cobbs har också sparred Winky Wright, Chad Dawson för båda sina matcher med Bernard Hopkins, Edwin Rodriguez, Peter Manfredo, Jr. och de flesta av de nuvarande New England boxare.

Många tror Cobbs har en avgörande erfarenhet fördel gentemot Rivera och frågan om han är redo att kliva upp i klassen för att bekämpa Cobbs. “Han har bara haft fem pro slagsmål,” Cobbs svarade på frågan, “men jag vet inte om han är redo. Jag kan inte svara på det, bara han kan. men vi ska ta reda på februari 10^th. Jag kan säga att jag är redo.”

Ironiskt nog, Cobbs är från Rivera hemstad, Hartford. Cobbs förklarade att han hamnade i lite problem på Hartford gator som en ungdom, vilket ledde till att han bosätter sig i Burlington, Vermont. Han öppnade så småningom en gym i Fall River (MA) och nu arbetar på Everybody Fights.

“Jag gör vad jag vill göra,” Cobbs avslutade. “I don’t have jitters like I did when I first started boxing Everything is easier now, Jag är avslappnad i ringen. Jag är fortfarande lära på jobbet, men jag är mer kvalificerad än jag var sista gången jag kämpade. Jag är en boxning kameleont: Jag kan rutan eller bang för att motverka min motståndare stil.”

Worcester två-tiden nationella amatörmästare Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0) möter brasilianska super mellanvikt Saul Almeida (0-8-1) i fyra runda co-featured event. Hartford super mellanvikt Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-1, 3 Kos) ansikten Troy “Omar KO konstnär” artist (4-7-1 (3 Kos), av Danbury (CT) i en sex-round bout.

Fighting på undercard, allt i fyra-runda matcher, är Southbridge (MA) junior weltervikt Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Hednisk (3-0, 1 KO) vs. pro-debuterar Nick Peralta, av Lawrence, obesegrad Danbury (CT) junior weltervikt Omar Bordoy, Jr. (3-0, 1 KO) vs. Puertoricanska Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), obesegrad Springfield (MA) lätt tungvikt Ray “Bazooka” Graceski (5-0, 3 Kos). vs. Hartford pro-debuterar Paul Bansiak, Springfield weltervikt Derrick “Dålig pojke” Whitley (2-0) vs. Roger Blanken (1-2), obesegrad puertoricansk super mellanvikt Jelame Garcia (6-0, 6 Kos) vs. Brasilianska Rodrigo Almeida 1-7), Bridge s (CT) pro-debuterar weltervikt Joseph Goss vs. Seth Basler (0-3), och Hartford junior lätt vs. Bridge s Carlos Marraro, III (0-1).

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “New England framtid 5”

Januari 25, 2018 FNU47 Lämna en kommentar

“New England framtid 5”

Februari. 10 i Worcester, MA

WORCESTER, Mäss. (Januari 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, junior weltervikt Omar Bordoy, Jr, has prepared to make a statement February 10^th vid “New England framtid 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), vid The Palladium i Worcester.

Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (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. “En dag, 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 och Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Nu, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker eller 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 — chef A.J. Galante, huvud tränare Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi och 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.

Presskonferens CITAT

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: “Detta är en stor möjlighet för mig. 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. Inte blinka, 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. Win, 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 om två år när jag fick samtalet (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: “Jag är 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^th. This will be my first fight on a Rivera Promotions card, but I’m familiar with most of the fighters on this card.”

WORCESTER, Mäss. (Januari 8, 2018) – En av de mest populära New England boxning utsikter, obesegrad Hartford (CT) lätt tungvikt Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 Kos), kommer rubrik sin tredje show Lördag natt, Februari 10, vid The Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.

I den femte delen av den “New England framtid” serie, presenteras av Rivera Promotions Underhållning (RPE), 27-årige Rivera möter Kevin “KRAY 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Kos), slåss av Burlington (VT), för den lediga Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England titel i åtta round main event.

Rivera, som var en 2016 Rocky Marciano Tournament mästare, kommer från en sensationell andrahandseffekter knockout av 146-kamp veteran Roberto Valenzuela i december förra året 9 i Hampton, New Hampshire.

“Jag ser fram emot att ha Richie boxning för UBF New England titel så tidigt i sin professionella karriär,”” nämnda promotor Jose Antonio Rivera, den pensionerade 3-tid, 2-mästare division världen. “Detta är tredje gången vi har haft förmånen att han kämpar på en av våra kort. Han slogs i den viktigaste händelsen i vår sista show (Oktober) vid DCU Center. Rivera ser bättre och skarpare varje gång jag ser honom kamp. Jag ser stora saker kommer för honom. Han har de verktyg och disciplin en tränare letar efter och en boxare behöver bli världsmästare. Himlen är gränsen för Richard och, för nu, Vi är tacksamma för att spela en liten del för att utveckla sin yrkeskarriär.”

Rivera har framgångsrikt marknads hans Popeye persona under hans unga pro boxning karriär, klädd i en sjöman mössa in i ringen med en traditionell Popeye liknande rör dinglande i munnen. “Det finns flera anledningar till mitt smeknamn, 'Karl-Alfred', men när jag var mycket ung,” rivera förklarade, “Jag hade onormalt stora underarmar. Det fastnade bara med mig genom åren, när folk hänvisas till mig på gymmet, så jag har kört med det. Jag tar livet tillbaka till Hartford med tålamod, hela New England, med tålamod, uthållighet och stil. Jag bor i ögonblicket.”

Även om han inte vann många stora utmärkelser eller turneringar som amatör boxare, Rivera fick ovärderlig erfarenhet boxning många av de bästa amatörer i New England och i nationella evenemang, liksom sparring med artister som tidigare världsmästare Peter “Kid Choklad” Quillin, Chad Dawson och Joe Smith, Jr. Han lärde sig också från tiden i ringen med tidigare titeln utmanare Israel “snarare” Cardona och John Scully.

“Jag tog min tid att vända pro eftersom jag inte har ett stödsystem för att få mig till nästa nivå,” Rivera noterade. “Jag var osäker. Den positiva respons jag fått från fighters jag sparred matas in mitt självförtroende. Nu, i bara min sjätte pro kamp, Jag kommer att innertaket för tredje gången, och kämpar för min första titel. Jag kan inte tacka Riveras (Jose och hans son, A.J.) tillräckligt för vad de har gjort för mig. De har trott på mig.”

I början, Rivera var något tveksamma till att bekämpa mer erfarna Cobb men, efter att ha gjort en del efterforskningar, Han antog utmaningen. “Jag var lite nervös först,” han medgav. “Vissa ifrågasatte om jag var redo att kliva upp för att slåss honom. Jag gjorde en del efterforskningar: Han hade inte en större amatörkarriär, eller slogs flera sex eller åtta omgångar slagsmål än mig. Och jag var sparringpartner för den första pro att slå honom, Tyron Burris(TKO2 in 2012). Jag är redo! Jag är 27 och behöver en kamp som denna.”

Worcester två-tiden nationella amatörmästare Bobby “BH3” Harris, III möter brasilianska mellanvikt Saul Almeida (0-8-1) i fyra runda co-featured event.

Fighting på undercard, allt i fyra-runda anfall, stiger New Haven (CT) super mellanvikt utsikter elvis Figueroa (3-0, 1 KO), en tre-time USA Boxing Nationals Championship guldmedaljör, vs. TBA, Worcester fjäder Andino Ranse (1-0) vs. Alex Montes (1-2-1), av Lawrence (MA), Danbury (CT) weltervikt Omar Bordoy, Jr. (2-0) vs. Puertoricanska invader Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), Southbridge (MA) weltervikt Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Hednisk (3-0, 1 KO) vs. pro-debuterar Nick Peralta, av Lawrence, obesegrad Springfield (MA) lätt tungvikt Ray “Bazooka” Graceski (5-0, 3 Kos). vs. Hartford pro-debuterar Paul Bansiak, Hartford junior mellanvikt Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-1, 3 Kos) vs. Troy “Omar KO konstnär” artist(4-7-1 (3 Kos), Springfield weltervikt Derrick “Double Impact” Whitley (2-0) vs. Roger Blanken (1-2), undefeated puertoricansk mellanvikt Jelame Garcia (6-0, 6 Kos) vs. Brasilianska Rodrigo Almeida 1-7), Meriden (CT) bantamvikt James Aquino (6-0, 6 Kos), 2016 New England Golden Gloves mästare, vs. Luis Rivera (3-3) och Hartford pro-debuterar weltervikt Joseph Goss vs. Seth Basler (0-3).
