Залишити коментар

After a couple weeks off, we come back this week to talk about the combat sports world. Том, Tony and Rich catch up and discuss the events of the past couple weeks and preview upcoming boxing and MMA action. Том, Tony and Rich pay special attention to last weekend’s awesome UFC card with two of the best fights of the year in MMA to chat about. Eddie Alvarez’s masterful performance against Justin Gaethje was exciting enough, but add in the performance of Yancy Medeiros against Charles Oliveira and that put this card into a category all its own. We also discuss the latest boxing news and Miguel Cotto’s retirement fight. Listen to the broadcast in the player below.

Том, Tony and Rich are back this week with a great show! We feature lots of engaging discussion about mixed martial arts and boxing, from Connor McGregor’s slapping a Bellator official to Deontay Wilder wanting to end Anthony Joshua’s career. We also chat about Dana White getting into boxing and Bellator’s 8 Man Heavyweight tournament. Again we get back to the nagging question of where are the legends in MMA, and we also cross over to where are the legends in boxing?

“NEW ENGLAND’S FUTURE 4” Результат

 

Габріель Гонзага (R) won his pro boxing debut
Вустер, Маса. (Жовтень 29, 2017) – Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Гавриїл “Napao” Gonzaga has a successful pro boxing debut last night (Субота, Жовтень. 28) in the co-featured event on the “New England’s Future 4” карта, представлений Rivera Акції Розваги (РПЕ), at DCU Center, Exhibition Hall, в Вустере.
6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (Массачусетс), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, Тампа (Флорида). 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! сьогодні ввечері”

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, теж.”
У головній події, popular Hartford (Коннектикут) напівважку вагу Річард “Папай Морячок Людина” Рівера залишився непереможеним, improving his record to 4-0 (3 КО), with a first-round knockout of an over-matched Hansen Castillo (0-3)
Рівера, 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. Суддя Kevin Hope didn’t bother to count.
“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” Рівера пояснив. “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 КО) overcame at 15-pound disadvantage, at the very least, en route to a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Ентоні “The Animal” Еверетт (1-7), of Rowley (Массачусетс).
Danbury (Коннектикут) в першій напівсередній Омар Бора, Молодший. (3-0, 1 KO) stopped New York veteran Брайан “The Brick” Авраам (6-31, 6 КО) 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” Фігероа (3-0, 1 KO), fighting out of New Haven, pitched a complete shutout over a game, про-дебютувавши Rene Nazare(0-1), Бразилії, for a convincing win by way of a four-round unanimous decision.
Southbridge (Массачусетс) напівсередній Вільфредо “Sucaro” язичник (3-0, 1 KO) pinnedPatrick Leal (0-4), з Woburn, on the ropes early, dropping him three times until referee Casey halted the fight midway through the opening round.
