Жовтень 28 в Вустере, Массачусетс
Вустер, Маса. (Жовтень 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger Гавриїл “Napao” Gonzaga starts October 28ї when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” карта, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Майбутнє Нової Англії”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) в Вустере, Массачусетс.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, два чемпіона світу Хосе Антоніо Рівера і його син, Anthonee (Гей-Джей) Рівера.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (Бразильського джиу-джитсу) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (Массачусетс). An imposing physical fighter, the 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 КО, 9 SUBs, 1 Грудня), тримає 4ї degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, Великобританія, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Mirko Cro Cop with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Ренді Кутюр in his next fight.
Gonzaga, who retired from MMA 1 ½ years ago, also defeated Бен Rothwell, Shawn Jordan і Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-Р) – Rocky Gonzalez & Габріель Гонзага
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 (Бразильське джиу-джитсу) 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. Зараз, 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. У ММА, 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, Rocky Gonzalez, 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.
“У боксі,” Гонсалес сказав, “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, так, 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 КО), fighting out of Pembroke (Массачусетс), will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Саул “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 КО) у головній події восьми раундів.
Hartford’s (Коннектикут) популярний Річард “Папай Морячок Людина” Рівера (3-0, 2 КО) відповідає Hansen Castillo (0-2) in the four-round, co-featured event to be contested at a 180-pound catchweight.

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

Залишити коментар
Жовтень 28 в Вустере, Массачусетс
Вустер, Маса. (Жовтень 12, 2017) – Once-beaten Vinnie “American Dream” Carita is preparing in an entirely different way than all other fighters on the October 28ї “New England Future 4” карта, the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Майбутнє Нової Англії”, to be held at the DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) в Вустере, Массачусетс.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, два чемпіона світу Хосе Антоніо Рівера і його син, Anthonee (Гей-Джей) Рівера.
“I am happy to have a dedicated, hard-working boxer like Vinnie Carita headlining our boxing event on Субота, October 28th в DCU Центр,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “He is a perfect example of why my son, Гей-Джей, 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 КО) will take on Bolivian heavyweight champion Саул “El Fenjx Asesino” Faraff (64-23-3, 56 КО) у головній події восьми раундів.
Carita, fighting out of Pembroke (Массачусетс), 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, менеджер, trainer and matchmaker. Outside of the ring, Carita is a fulltime court officer in Brockton (Массачусетс), 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, на 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. Я не хочу судити. 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 (Василь) Жиров-(Джеймс) Тоні боротьба (at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut). The cruiserweight division is hot right now with the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (Олександр) Усик 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) Назви. 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 фунти. 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,” він сказав. “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 – ПАР, Dubai, Північної Ірландії, і т.д.. – 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, Піттсфілд (Массачусетс) 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. “Зараз, 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.”

ПРЕС-РЕЛІЗ
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger
Gabriel Gonzaga to make pro boxing debut
Жовтень 28 в Вустере, Массачусетс
Вустер, Маса. (Вересень 13, 2017) – Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ) has formally announced that the fourth and final 2017 installment of its popular professional boxing series, “Майбутнє Нової Англії”, will be held Субота ніч,Жовтень 28, в DCU Центр (Exhibition Hall) в Вустере, Массачусетс.
“New England’s Future 4” is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, два чемпіона світу Хосе Антоніо Рівера і його син, Anthonee (Гей-Джей) Рівера.
Pro boxing returned to the DCU Center this past June for the first time в 11 роки, since promoter Rivera defeated Алехандро Гарсія, by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, for the World Boxing Association (WBA) World super welterweight title.
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (16-1-1, 15 КО), fighting out of Pembroke (Массачусетс), will face an opponent to soon be determined in the eight-round main event. Carita, like promoter Rivera, is a Massachusetts court officer: Carita in the City of Champions, Броктон, and Rivera at home in Worcester.
Fast-rising Worcester fighter Bryan Daniels (5-0, 3 КО) puts his undefeated record on the line against upset-minded Tracey Johnson (4-5-4) in the six-round co-featured event, to be contested at a 206-pound catch-weight.
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Гавриїл “Napao” Gonzaga will make his pro boxing debut in a four-round match against Washington D.C. важковаговик Аландо П'ю (1-10-1, 1 KO). Brazil-born Gonzaga, who lives in and teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Worcester, defeated UFC stars such as Mirko Cro Cop, Бен Rothwell і Chris Tuchscherer during his outstanding mixed-martial-arts career. В 2007, Gonzaga lost his UFC title shot to Hall of Famer Ренді Кутюр in Las Vegas at UFC 74 by way of a third-round technical knockout.
“I am excited with the talent we have been able to put together for our last boxing event of 2017,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “We are proud to have been able to make our dream of bringing professional boxing back to Worcester. We are working on a few things to make 2018 even bigger and better for RPE. We are grateful to all the boxers who have trusted us to help them progress in their careers. It has been a pleasure working with them and their teams.
