גבריאל גונזגה (R) won his pro boxing debut
WORCESTER, מסה. (אוקטובר 29, 2017) – Former UFC heavyweight title challenger גבריאל “Napao” Gonzaga has a successful pro boxing debut last night (יום שבת, אוקטובר. 28) in the co-featured event on the “New England’s Future 4” כרטיס, שהוצג על ידי מבצעי ריברה בידור (RPE), at DCU Center, Exhibition Hall, בווסטר.
6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (תואר שני), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, של טמפה (FL). 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! הלילה”

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, גַם.”
באירוע המרכזי, popular Hartford (CT) כבד משקל קל ריצ'רד “פופאי המלח” ריברה נשאר בלתי מנוצח, improving his record to 4-0 (3 קוס), with a first-round knockout of an over-matched Hansen Castillo (0-3)
ריברה, 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. שופט Kevin Hope didn’t bother to count.
“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” ריברה הסבירה. “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 קוס) overcame at 15-pound disadvantage, at the very least, en route to a dominant six-round unanimous decision over אנתוני “The Animal” אוורט (1-7), of Rowley (תואר שני).
דנברי (CT) welterweight הזוטר עומר בורד'וי, ג 'וניור. (3-0, 1 KO) stopped New York veteran בריאן “הלבנה” אַבְרָהָם (6-31, 6 קוס) in the fourth and final round. Abraham was decked twice and after counting to 10 after Abraham’s second time on the canvas, שׁוֹפֵט Paul Casey waved off the action.
Three-time national amateur champion Elvis “Chi Chi” פיגרואה (3-0, 1 KO), fighting out of New Haven, pitched a complete shutout over a game, -שדורג פרו Rene Nazare(0-1), של ברזיל, for a convincing win by way of a four-round unanimous decision.
Southbridge (תואר שני) welterweight לווילפרדו “Sucaro” עוֹבֵד אֵלִילִים (3-0, 1 KO) pinnedPatrick Leal (0-4), של ובורן, on the ropes early, dropping him three times until referee Casey halted the fight midway through the opening round.

New boxing chapter to start for former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Napao” Gonzaga

להשאיר תגובה
אוקטובר 28 בווסטר, תואר שני
WORCESTER, מסה. (אוקטובר 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger גבריאל “Napao” Gonzaga starts October 28ה when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” כרטיס, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “העתיד של ניו אינגלנד”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) בווסטר, מסצ'וסטס.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, אלוף עולם שתי החלוקה חוסה אנטוניו ריברה ואת בנו, Anthonee (A.J.) ריברה.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (תואר שני). An imposing physical fighter, ה-6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 קוס, 9 SUBs, 1 דצמבר), מחזיק 4ה degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, בריטניה, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion שוטר מירקו Cro with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion רנדי קוטור in his next fight.
Gonzaga, who retired from MMA 1 ½ years ago, גם ביס בן רותוול, שון ירדן ו Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-R) – רוקי גונזלס & גבריאל גונזגה
Gonzago has a new opponent for his four-round bout, Tampa’s pro-debuting Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, who also has a pro MMA background.
“I like challenges in my life,” Gonzaga explained why he’s making his pro debut. “I set new goals because I like to be competitive in sports. I have a good boxing coach who told me I should try. I was a BJJ (ברזילאי ג'יו-ג'יטסו) world champion and UFC title contender. I have good boxing skills and plan to put on a good show. I do have one-punch power and hit hard.
“I started boxing in 2001 and worked at it every day for two years to learn, but then I was competing in MMA. עכשיו, I’m focused on boxing. I think boxing is the hardest part of MMA. I know you can’t make mistakes in boxing and there’s no time to relax. בMMA, I could relax a little at times in clinches, but the referee won’t allow that in boxing. I’ll probably fight more than once but not too many because of my age and I’m not really at the high-level of boxing like I was in MMA.”
Gonzaga’s head boxing trainer, רוקי גונזלס, has been working with several MMA fighters, including Gonzaga, for more than a decade to help them improve their striking skills. Gonzalez freely admits that Gonzaga knew how to box before he started working with him, crediting Gonzaga’s Muay Thai coach, and that boxing came naturally to the big Brazilian who has made an easy adjustment from the Octagon to the ring. Gonzalez also feels that leg positioning differences for MMA fighters switching to boxing, in terms of throwing proper punches, is somewhat overrated.
“באגרוף,” גונזלס אמר, “fighters need their hands like their legs and elbows in MMA. Distance and timing is more important than where their legs and feet are positioned. Gabriel doesn’t like sparring with headgear, כך, his sparring is more like real fighting. He’s been hot with some real shots but he’s responded well. He’s always going to have a puncher’s chance and he’s deceptive because he doesn’t look as fast as he is.
“We didn’t really plan anything but he got this good opportunity. He’s always wanted to turn pro as a boxer and go from there. Gabriel is a good listener who keeps working hard to get better. When he first brought up boxing, he was contracted by the UFC, but we started talking about him boxing after the UFC released him. He knew Jose from him teaching boxing. Gabriel isn’t doing this for the money. He’s a competitive guy who wanted to try boxing.”
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion, Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 קוס), fighting out of Pembroke (תואר שני), will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion שאול “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 קוס) באירוע המרכזי של שמונה הסיבובים.

Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita boxes in his own unique way

להשאיר תגובה
אוקטובר 28 בווסטר, תואר שני
WORCESTER, מסה. (אוקטובר 12, 2017) – Once-beaten Vinnie “American Dream” Carita is preparing in an entirely different way than all other fighters on the October 28ה “New England Future 4” כרטיס, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “העתיד של ניו אינגלנד”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) בווסטר, מסצ'וסטס.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, אלוף עולם שתי החלוקה חוסה אנטוניו ריברה ואת בנו, Anthonee (A.J.) ריברה.
“I am happy to have a dedicated, hard-working boxer like Vinnie Carita headlining our boxing event on יום שבת, October 28th במרכז DCU,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “He is a perfect example of why my son, A.J., and I started RPE. We want to be able to help boxers grow their careers and create a platform for them to get bigger and better opportunities.”
A former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion,Carita (16-1-1, 15 קוס) will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion שאול “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 קוס) באירוע המרכזי של שמונה הסיבובים.
Carita, fighting out of Pembroke (תואר שני), will move up in weight once again to fight another foreign opponent. In the world of boxing, not only does Carita fight, he’s his own promoter, מנהל, trainer and matchmaker. Outside of the ring, Carita is a fulltime court officer in Brockton (תואר שני), as well as a part-time security contractor for the Department of Defense (DOD).
Although his incredibly busy schedule leaves little, if any, downtown to relax, Carita thrives because he’s so dedicated, disciplined and driven. He starts each day at 4 a.m., running or doing cardio exercising, works his day job, and hits the gym to train between 9-10 p.m. on a regular basis for a scheduled fight. When he’s had some free time to travel, Vinne has gone to New York, Philadelphia and even Montreal for quality sparring.
He started boxing at seven, when he first walked into a gym, and captured a Southeast Regionals Golden Glove title but, ב 14, only boxed sporadically, until he turned pro at 20. “I definitely have a passion for boxing,” the 32-year-old confessed. “I’m a boxing fanatic. If I’m not training, I’m watching fights, live or on television. It’s my love. Boxing will always be part of me and when I finally hang up my gloves, I want to be a referee, so I can still be in the ring, and have the best seat. אני לא רוצה לשפוט. Bigger guys last longer than smaller fighters. I want to continue doing this until by late thirties, maybe early forties.
“I fell in love with the cruiserweight division when I saw the (ואסילי) Jirov-(ג'יימס) Toney מאבק (at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut). The cruiserweight division is hot right now with the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (אולכסנדר) אוסיק could win the tournament, unifying all four major belts, and then move up to heavyweight. That could be good for me if I was one of the eight fighting for one of the four vacant (major) כותרות. I’ll look for the right fights until then, against guys who’ve been around and maybe competed for world or regional titles, like my next opponent (Faraff), who is the WBC Latino heavyweight champion.”
Carita, who occasionally is forced to fight as a heavyweight as he will against Faraff, will still weigh in around 200-205 קילו. He walks around at 208 and usually weighs in at 194-196 for his cruiserweight fights. “I have no plans to compete as a heavyweight,” הוא אמר. “I’ve fought some heavyweights and it looks better for me to go the distance, or stop, guys much bigger than me. I try and pick the right guys to advance my career.”
Why has Carita fought so many opponents from countries all over the world? Networking. His job with the DOD, before he started working as a court officer, found him traveling around the world. Wherever he went – דרום אפריקה, דובאי, צפון אירלנד, וכו '. – he worked out at boxing gyms and made invaluable connections, establishing working relationships with many managers and matchmakers who he’s remained in contact with throughout his pro boxing career.
Because he trains himself, Carita only has one regular person working his corner, Pittsfield (תואר שני) court officer John Felix, who he first met when they were drill instructors at the academy. Carita adds a cut-man for his fight but he tends to keep things lean and mean, even in his corner.
Nobody knows better or appreciates more what promoter Jose Antonio Rivera accomplished when he was world champion working full-time as a court officer in Worcester.
“To work full-time, raise children, train to be a world-class fighter and become world champion three times speaks volumes about Jose,” Carita commented. “עכשיו, he’s promoting and putting guys like me on his shows.”
“I understand perfectly how hard and demanding his schedule is working a fulltime job as a court officer and training to try to achieve his goals of fighting for and winning world championship,” Rivera added. “I am glad Vinnie has chosen to give RPE an opportunity to be able to help him get closer to achieving his dream.”

ציטוטים מסיבת עיתונאים
Vinnie Carita: “I saw the last (RPE) show and it was great. I’m happy to be on this show. This is a great show with a lot of New England talent. There’s going to be fireworks!”
Matt Remillard: “הייתי ב (RPE’s) last fight and it sold out. That’s awesome. They’re making boxing better, not only in Worcester, but throughout New England. אפריל 1, 2005, I turned pro. I never fought in Worcester before. It’s a great atmosphere. This has been a long time coming, six years I’m going to punish him for. It will not go the distance, I can promise that. He won’t recognize himself after the fight. After I knock him down, I hope he gets back up because I want to punish him. This isn’t a game. I’m in the hurt business.”
Augustine Mauras: “I truly thank Matt Remillard for fighting somebody like me. I’m not an easy cookie. He’s going to be in the toughest fight of his life. I’m going to put you (Remillard) on his ass. I’m here to fight this man! It’s going to be a helluva fight.”
חוסה אנטוניו ריברה, CEO/promoter: “I appreciate the support we received for our last show and we’re looking ahead to booking our next show in June. I can’t really say anything about that, עדיין. I want to thank our sponsors. My roots are here in Worcester and that’s why so many of the fighters on this show are from here. We aren’t signing fighters, just giving them a platform to fight. היו שמחים, עכשיו, helping to provide them with a platform to go on to bigger and better things. Rivera Promotions Entertainment hopes to move fighters and allow them to showcase their skills. We’re very happy about this show. Remillard versus Mauras alone is worth the price of admission.”
Anthonee Rivera, President/matchmaker: “It’s been a lot of fun for us so far. We’re proud to bring boxing back to New England. There are a lot of great fighters on our April 1רח ' card with top prospects, former Golden Gloves champs, top fighters like Matt Remillard and future world champions. All of these guys took the opponents they were offered, no cherry-picking, and that shows what kind of fighters they really are. יש לנו 13 fights and don’t blink during any one of them.”
Bryan Daniels: “I’m a student of Worcester boxing and Jose Rivera was the most established fighter. He came from nothing to become world champion. Never in a million years did I think I’d be fighting on his card. I’m humbled. I was hoping to get an opponent with experience to bring the best out of me. This will be my first time fighting in Worcester to showcase my skills. I’m originally from Illinois but Worcester has a lot to offer, including Rivera Promotions Entertaining giving us a platform.”
אנתוני לוריאנו: “I’m very thankful to be fighting on another Rivera Promotions Entertainment card. They did an awesome job last show and I’m grateful to be fighting again on their card. This will be a big test. Rivera Promotions gave me a platform to be signed by Star Boxing. Jose Rivera was a fighter and he knows what we need.”
Andino Ranse: “I have a fulltime job, go to the gym, and take care of my son. I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment for allowing me to fight. I also want to thank קרלוס גרסיה, he’s the man! Jose’s been my idol since I first stepped into the gym.”
Neal Sullivan: “I grew up with AJ and Jose has always been good to me. I wouldn’t be fighting if I didn’t trust them. They look out for fighters. I’m a student of the game and know the history of Worcester boxing. I look forward to bringing it אפריל 1רח '.”
דריק ויטלי: “My father was a professional boxer and I’ve been around boxing my whole life watching him. זה הזמן שלי, the beginning of my journey.”
Luis Santiago: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment this opportunity. I’ve been ready since the last show (his opponent failed the pre-fight medical exam) and haven’t stopped working. אפריל 1רח ' will be the start of my pro career. It’s going to b e a great show and I’m going to end-up with a win.”
Mykqyan Williams: “אני מאוד מתרגש. מחנה אימונים היה מעולה. מאט (Remillard) and myself have helped each get ready. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show.”
