“De toekomst van New England 3” 10 juni in Worcester, MA
|
WORCESTER, Massa. (Juni 1, 2017) – Popular heavyweight Sonya “De geleerde” Lamonaki's neemt Laura “Dame Ram” Ramsey voor de vacante Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) World title, op zaterdag nacht, Juni 10, in de acht-ronde “De toekomst van New England 3” co-feature at the DCU Center (Tentoonstellingszaal) in Worcester, Massachusetts.“De toekomst van New England 3” wordt gepresenteerd door Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), dat eigendom is van en wordt geëxploiteerd door drievoudig gepensioneerden, twee divisie wereldkampioen Jose Antonio Rivera en zijn zoon, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
Undefeated prospect Irvin Gonzalez (6-0, 6 KO), 21, headlines at home in his first scheduled eight-round bout, tegen Raúl Lopez (10-2-1, 5 KO), van Bronx (NY), for the vacant UBF All-American super featherweight championship.
“I am excited to be able to have our first world championship boxing match on our ‘New England’s 3’ boks,” promoter Jose Rivera commented. “It’s special because it’s a women’s World Heavyweight title fight with veterans like Sonya and Laura, who also have some hostilities towards one another. They’ve both earned this opportunity to fight for the UBF Women’s World Heavyweight Championship. I expect fireworks and know fans will be in for a treat.”
Pro-boksen keert voor het eerst terug naar het DCU Center in 11 jaar, toen promotor Jose Antonio Rivera versloeg Alejandro Garcia, door middel van een unaniem besluit van twaalf ronden, voor de World Boxing Association (WBA) Wereldtitel superweltergewicht.
Born in Greece, Lamonaki's (10-2-2, 1 KO), who grew-up in Turners Falls (MA), is a teacher in New York City. She is a Springfield College graduate and has two Master’s Degrees. “I’m honored to be fighting in the first world title fight in Worcester since Jose Rivera,” Lamonakis said. “I’m from Massachusetts and I fought twice at Mechanics Hall (in Worcester, including her pro debut in 2010). I heard Jose was promoting shows in Worcester, so I called to say I’d like to fight for a world title on one of his cards. I think he saw me fight before and he quickly agreed.
“This is still a make-dominates sport. I tell young girls to box as a side job. I have two Master’s Degrees and I’m a full-time teacher in New York. Boxing is my hobby. Very few women can make enough money boxing to make a good living. I don’t know if it’s because I was born in Greece and boxing is in my blood, but I love this sport and that’s what keeps me going. I guess I was born to fight. I enjoy getting in the ring. I’ve gotten a lot from boxing and now I’m giving back to amateurs in New York City as president of a youth organization.”
Lamonaki's; is a former International Boxing Organization World and New York State female heavyweight champion. Her opponent, Ramsey (10-7, KO), as a two-time world title challenger is hoping the third time is the charm for her. They have history together and this fight nearly happened a few years ago.
“I beat her daughter (Alysia Williams-Stevenson) in my second pro fight,” Lamonakis explained. “She said she’s see me and now, seven years later, we’re fighting. She’s a little older than me and I needed more fights before I fought her. We were supposed to fight a few years ago in Aruba but a hurricane cancelled the show.”
In an eight-round Special Cruiserweight Attraction, Pembroke (MA) fan favorite Vinnie “Amerikaanse nachtmerrie” verhaal (16-1-1, 15 KO) meets Brazilian knockout specialist Marcelo Leonardo “Queizada” Da Silva (22-4, 17 KO).
Vechten op de undercard, allemaal in vier-ronde vlagen, zijn Worcester weltergewicht Andy González (6-1, 5 KO) vs. TBA, Lawrence (MA) junior weltergewicht Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (2-0, 2 KO) vs. Buffels Jack Grady (0-5-1), Worcester vedergewicht andino Ranse (1-0) vs. Woburn (MA) Gilvan Santos (0-3), Springfield (MA) junior middengewicht Boortoren “Dubbele impact” Whitley (1-0) vs. Norwalk (CT) veteraan Shaka Moore (12-22-3, 2 KO), Worcester's pro-debuut Bobby Harris III vs. Woburn (MA) super middengewicht Rodrigo Almeida (1-6), Southbridge (MA) junior weltergewicht Wilfredo “de Sucaro” Heidens (1-0) vs. Laurens Antonius Everett (1-5), Worchester Bryan Daniëls (4-0, 2 KO) vs. Florida's Christoffel “De aartsbisschop” Boykins (1-8) met een vanggewicht van 205 pond, Hartford's (CT) Richie “Popeye de matroos” Rivera (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Braziliaans Nathan Schulte (0-2) met een vanggewicht van 180 pond, en Worcester's pro-debuut Neal Sullivan vs. Framingham (MA) super middengewicht Saul Almeida (0-8).

“De toekomst van New England 2”, April 1 in Worcester

WORCESTER, Massa. (Maart 20, 2017) – The long trip back begins April 1st voor Mat “Scherpe schutter” Remillard, 12 years to the day from his professional debut, op de “De toekomst van New England 2” show at the Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Remillard (23-1, 13 KO), fighting out of Manchester, Connecticut, hasn’t boxed for the six years, due to him serving a five-year prison sentence. He takes on Lawrence (MA) lichtgewicht Augustine “Meedogenloos” Maura (6-1-3, 3 KO) in the eight-round co-feature. If their tense, near volatile stare-down at a recent press conference is a true indication, Remillard vs. Mauras is not going the distance, to put things mildly.
De toekomst van New England 2″ wordt gepresenteerd door Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), dat eigendom is van en wordt geëxploiteerd door drievoudig gepensioneerden, twee divisie wereldkampioen Jose Antonio Rivera en zijn zoon, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
“I am excited to have a boxer of Remillard’s caliber on our ‘New England’s Future 2’ boks,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “He has a tough match against August time Mauras for his first fight back. Knowing Remillard, hoewel, he wouldn’t have it any other way. I want to thank Matt, Paul Cichon (hoofdtrainer) and their team for trusting Rivera Promotions Entertainment for Matt’s first boxing match back from his long layoff.”
Remillard is a former World Boxing Council (WBC) Verenigde Staten & Youth World, North American Boxing Federation (NABF) en de World Boxing Organization (WBO) vedergewicht kampioen. His lone pro loss came in his last fight, Maart 23, 2011 in Atlantic City to then rising star Mikey Garcia (24-0), when Remillard retired after 11 rondes. He won’t make excuses; echter, he never should have taken the fight with Garcia, facing the impending court case that sent him to prison and working with a new head trainer he’d only met two weeks prior to the fight.
“I’m confident I can get back to where I was in about a year,” the 30-year-old Remillard said. “A dream come true would be a rematch with Garcia, at any weight, but I have to earn that shot. Everybody wants a rematch with the guy who gave you the first loss. It seldom happens but, als niet, in time I believe there will be other big fights out there for me.
“I’m fighting an opponent who fought by buddy, Chip Perez, drie keer (0-2-1), so I’m familiar with his style. He doesn’t back down. I don’t expect him to back down against me…until he feels my power. I’m going to take out those five years that I was away on him. I’ve been through so much the last six year but I’m most comfortable in the gym. The past is past and this is my last run. Paul and I have a lot of unfinished business to take care of.”
Seventeen years ago, Chicon first met Remillard at the Manchester PAL gym, but he made the 13-year-old aspiring boxer earn his opportunity to be trained. Paul made Matt clean the bathrooms, take care of spit buckets, etc. before he started training him.
“When he returned to the gym a few months back, I saw that his work ethic hadn’t faded,” Cichon commented. “I don’t believe he’s really that far away from where he was six years ago. He was idle five years but his first day back he sparred 12 rondes. He stayed in good physical shape and is hungrier than ever. He thinks he has something to prove after his last fight, but he really doesn’t have anything to prove to me or anybody else. He is fighting a tough kid but Matt’s going to be victorious. I think in four or five more fights he’ll be back where he was in boxing.”
Pembroke (MA) cruiserweight Vinnie “Amerikaanse nachtmerrie” verhaal (15-1-1, 14 KOs will headline against Brazilian KO specialist Gilberto Matheus “De magie” Zondagen (22-6, 20 KO), the former South American light heavyweight champion, in de acht-ronde belangrijkste gebeurtenis.
Dorchester (MA) zwaargewicht Donnie “Grote vervelende” Palmer (8-1-1, 7 KO) faces unbeaten Quian Davis (4-0-2, 2 KO), of Mays Landing (NJ), in een vier-ronde Bout.
2016 New England Golden Gloves kampioen Antonius Laureano (2-0, 1 KO), fighting out of East Hartford (CT), meets Schenectady (NY) veteraan Bryan “De baksteen” Abraham (6-23-1, 6 KO) in een zes-round wedstrijd.
