THE CHAMP IS BACK: referee Bob Benoit (L) u Jose Antonio Rivera

WORCESTER, Massa. (Awissu 19, 2018) – Seven years after his last fight, “Il Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera returned to the ring in grand fashion last night (IS-SIBT) biex headline “Homecoming, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment, fil Il Palladium Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 Kos), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Tliet time, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Smith (10-38-1, 7 Kos) from the opening bell and he never let up.

 

 

 

It took a few rounds for Rivera to wear off the rust, but he fed Smith a steady diet of body shots, gradually breaking down his opponent, as he won round after round on points. Twice in the sixth round it looked like Smith was done, but the tough Texan showed a lot of heart to survive.

 

 

 

Fl-aħħarnett, Rivera closed the show in the seventh round, when Smith broke his hand in the fifth round and was unable to continue, kneeling in his corner, obviously in pain.

 

 

 

“I’ve always been tough,” Rivera said after the fight, “but I was a little rusty. He tested me early but, once he saw I wasn’t going anywhere and knew he was in for a fight. I started warming up in the fourth round. I was always a 12-round fighter. I didn’t know he broke his hand until after the fight. Inħoss kbir. We gave a good fight to the fans who have always supported me.”

 

 

 

“I give myself a C+ tonight. I’m going to talk with my family, but I’m thinking about one more fight, to make it 50 for his pro career).”

 

 

 

Jose Antonio Rivera (R) had a successful comeback fight

 

 

 

Fil-każ ko dehru, Worcester super middleweight Kendrick Ball, Jr. (10-1-2, 7 Kos) demolished Fabian “El Lobo” Valdez (2-4), flooring him with a right uppercut and soon after finished him with a vicious body shot for a technical-knockout victory in the opening round. The popular Ball was fighting at home for the first time as a professional

 

 

 

The rematch between Worcester junior middleweight Khiary Grey (16-4, 12 Kos) u Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 Kos) ended in the same fashion as their first encounter did three years ago. Also fighting at home for the first time, Gray blasted out his game opponent, cracking him with a picture-perfect, left-fight combination that put Fernandez on his back. Fernandez beat the count, but referee Bob Benoit halted the action.

 

 

Southbridge, MA junior middleweight Wilfredo “l Sucaro” pagan (5-0, 3 Kos) baqa undefeated, using a relentless body attack to drop Engelberto “Guarura” Valenzuela (11-15, 3 Kos) tliet darbiet, the last ending the fight midway through the third round.

 

 

 

Springfield, MA junior lightweight Joshua Orta (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an impressive pro debut in a barn-burner that ended when (1-8-1, 1 KO), ta’ Worcester, was unable to continue fighting after the third round.

 

 

 

Worcester welterweight Eslih Owuso (1-0) pitched a shutout in his pro debut, decking veteran Bryan “Il-Briks” Abraham (6-31-2, 6 Kos) darbtejn fit-tieni rawnd, en route għal rebħa deċiżjoni unanima.

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the night, 45-il sena qodma Jose Angel “KO” Ortiz (5-14-1, 2 Kos) niżel Patrick Leal (0-5) 10-seconds into the fight, once more later in the opening round, and stopped him in the second. Oritz, fighting out of Springfield, MA by way of Puerto Rico, was fighting for the first time in five years, and he registered his first victory in seven.

“Il Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera fit-titlu “Homecoming”

L-Champ huwa lura!
Awissu 17 fil Il Palladium Worcester, MA
“Il Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera laqat il-pads mat-trainer tiegħu Sean Fitzgerald

 

WORCESTER, Massa. (Lulju 31, 2018) – Tużżana snin wara li qabad it-tielet titlu mondjali tiegħu f’żewġ klassijiet ta’ piż differenti, sebgħa mill-aħħar ġlieda tiegħu, “Il Gallo” Jose Rivera jirritorna fiċ-ċirku Awissu 17 biex headline “Homecoming”, Preżentat mill-Promozzjonijiet tal-Gran Chin (GCP) f’assoċjazzjoni ma’ Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), fil Il Palladium Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

Il-45-il sena Rivera (41-6-1, 24 Kos) diġà tilef aktar minn 30 liri, issa fi ħdan erba 'liri tal-piż kuntrattat tiegħu, peress li beda jitħarreġ aktar kmieni din is-sena. Huwa se headline kontra Ruben “Gwerriera tal-Jum Moderna” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 Kos) fl-avveniment prinċipali ta’ tmien round.

 

 

 

Fl 1997, Rivera qabad l-Organizzazzjoni Internazzjonali tal-Boxing (Ibo) Titlu mondjali tal-welterweight, waqfien Gilberto Flores fit-tieni rawnd. Sitt snin wara, siefer lejn il-:ermanja biex jag[mel bla telfa, favoriti Hometown Michel Trabant (38-0) għall-World Boxing Association vakanti (WBA) Kampjonat Dinji tal-Welterweight, li fiha Rivera rebaħ deċiżjoni ta’ 12-il round u ċ-ċinturin.

 

 

 

Quddiem kważi 10,000 partitarji tal-belt natali f’Worcester, Rivera temm il-karriera tiegħu fil-boxing billi rebaħ deċiżjoni unanima fi 12-il round 2006 fuq champion difensur Alejandro Garcia(25-1) għat-titlu WBA World super welterweight.

 

 

 

“L-idea li nirritorna fiċ-ċirku bdiet minn ibni. A.J., u jien nitkellem dwar il-ġiri tal-istorja,” Rivera spjegata. “M'aħniex kapaċi ngħaqqdu dan flimkien bħalissa (A.J. twieled bi Spina Bifida u ma setax jikseb l-approvazzjoni medika fil-ħin għall-Awissu. 17th juru.), imma minħabba x-xogħol iebes tiegħi f’dawn l-aħħar sitt xhur, Ħassejt li kien xieraq li nkompli bil-ġlieda tiegħi.

 

 

 

“Granite Chin Promotions kien strumentali ħafna biex jiġi żgurat li dan l-ispettaklu jitqiegħed flimkien bl-aktar mod professjonali possibbli. Mhux se naħseb li l-kumpanija promozzjonali tagħna (Jos u A.J. stess u topera RPE Promotions Entertainment) kien ikun kapaċi jiġbed dan off. In-negozjati kollha kellhom isiru u jien nitħarreġ bl-uniku mod li naf kif, fuq livell ta’ kampjonat, kien ikun wisq għalina biex nittrattaw.”

 

 

 

Promozzjonijiet tal-geddum tal-granit’ ko-promotur Chuck Shearns miżjud, “Meta jien u Jose bdejna nitkellmu dwar ir-ritorn taċ-ċirku tiegħu, Jien kont l-aħħar persuna li ħsibt li kien miġnun. Konna ħbieb matul il-jiem tal-kampjonat tiegħu u naf kemm Jose huwa impenjat u dixxiplinat oerhört. I ġġieldu fil 49 snin qodma, biex ma nqabbilx ruħi mal-livell li kien fuqu Jose, imma naf li jista’ jsir. Dak li kulħadd għandu jkun jaf hu kemm Jose ħa ħsiebu sew fit-tletinijiet tiegħu u fl-erbgħin sena. Qatt ħsibt hekk Chris (Traietti, kopromotur tal-GCP) u nkun qed nippromwovi r-rimonta ta’ Jose? Do Mhux, imma kuntent li nkun involut u se nappoġġah sa fejn irid jieħu dan. Ilu jitħarreġ bħalu 25 u Jose se jissorprendi lil xi nies.”

 

 

 

Matul ir-renji tat-titlu ta’ Rivera, kuntrarju għal champions tad-dinja oħra, kellu wkoll impjieg full-time bħala uffiċjal tal-qorti fil-Qorti tal-Prim’Istanza ta’ Massachusetts, kariga f’Worcester li g[adu j]omm 17 snin wara. Bejn ix-xogħol u t-taħriġ, qatt ma jimpurtahom ir-responsabbiltajiet tal-familja tiegħu, Jose b'xi mod jirnexxielu jibbilanċja kollox fil-ħajja impenjattiva tiegħu ħafna.

 

 

 

“Ejja ngħidu li tagħmel għal skeda impenjattiva,” irrimarka Rivera. “Jien impenjat li nieħu ħsieb il-familja tiegħi u nagħmel dak kollu li hemm bżonn. Normalment niġri qabel ix-xogħol u nitħarreġ wara x-xogħol. Li jibda kmieni u jispiċċa tard jagħmel ġranet impenjattivi, imma x-xogħol irid isir. Dritt issa, Ninsab f’nofs l-iktar perjodu iebes ta’ taħriġ. Il-ġimgħa tal-ġlieda hija aktar dwar il-preparazzjoni mentalment u t-teħid tal-piż. M'hemm xejn li tista' tagħmel il-ġimgħa tal-ġlieda biex tgħinek tidħol f'forma aħjar.”

 

 

 

Rivera mhu taħt l-ebda illużjoni li r-rimonta tiegħu se twassal għal titlu dinji ewlieni ieħor. Il-pjan hu li jkollu żewġ ġlidiet oħra biex jilħaq total 50 bħala pro, imma qed jieħu l-affarijiet ġlieda waħda kull darba, u għadu jittama l-ġlieda li jmiss tiegħu, tentattivament ippjanat għal aktar tard din is-sena, se jkun fuq l-istess karta tad-debutt pro ta’ ibnu.

 

 

 

Rivera ġġieled l-aħħar fih 2011, tieħu deċiżjoni ta’ tmien round Pawlu Mpendo, f’Mohegan Sun Arena f’Connecticut. Il-Galvan ittestjat fil-battalja, Awissu tiegħu. 17th avversarju minn Indiana, ġġieled kontra ċampjins tad-dinja oħra, Inkluż Zab Judah, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., Jorge Paez u Paul Spadafora.

 

 

 

“Nisma’ jiġi jiġġieled u li jħobb iqarraq ftit biex jipprova jidħol f’rasu l-avversarju tiegħu,” Rivera żied. I kkonċentrat fuqi, il-ħin tiegħi u niffoka fuq il-pjan tal-logħba

 

 

 

“It-taħriġ għal din il-ġlieda kien aktar mentali minn kull ħaġa oħra. I stajt nilħaq l-ogħla prestazzjoni fi 45 taħriġ bħalma għamilt fl-aqwa tiegħi. L-iktar ħaġa importanti hija li, naħdem mat-trejner tiegħi Sean Fitzgerald, Jien kont iffukat biex niżgura li l-ħin tiegħi jitjieb peress li għaddew seba' snin mill-aħħar iġġieled.

 

 

 

“U, tal-kors, huwa dejjem sensazzjoni kbira li boxx quddiem il-partitarji ta’ raħal twelidi. L-appoġġ tagħhom huwa dejjem apprezzat.”

 

 

 

L-isem tal-avveniment huwa “Homecoming” għax sitt ġellieda fl-azzjoni huma minn Worcester, inklużi tlieta li qatt ma ġġieldu hemm qabel bħala professjonisti.

 

 

 

Middleweight Kendrick Ball, Jr. (9-1-2, 6 Kos) u junior middleweight Khiary Grey (15-4, 11 Kos), it-tnejn promossi minn CES Boxing, se jkunu qed jiġġieldu f’darhom f’Worcester bħala pros għall-ewwel darba f’par ta’ sitt rounds.

Fighting Professionally in his Hometown for the First Time this Friday, Nick Casal to Make First Ring Appearance in Nearly Five Years

Ħalli kumment
A familiar name, especially to the local boxing fans, will make his first ring appearance in just under five years din il-ġimgħa night in his own hometown of Niagara Falls, New York.
Former red-hot prospect Nick “Hands of Gold” Casal (22-4-1, 17 Kos) says he’s expecting some rust, but should have enough to overcome when he takes on 37-fight veteran Antonio Chaves Fernandez of Brockton, Massachusetts, in one of the untelevised supporting bouts at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino. The fight will be Casal’s first at home as a professional.
In the night’s 10-round main event, WBO #11-, WBA #12- and IBF #15-rated heavyweight boxer Jarrell “Big Baby” Taħħan (16-0-1, 14 Kos), defends his WBA NABA Heavyweight title against Topeka, Kansas, slugger Nick Guivas (12-3-2, 9 Kos). And in the 10-round lightweight semi-final, red-hot Filipino prospect Harmonito “El Huracan de Gensan” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 Kos) will make his debut on US soil against capable veteran Guillermo Sanchez (15-18-1, 6 Kos) ta 'Buffalo.
Presented by Greg Cohen Promotions, Promozzjonijiet Salita, FightCard Productions and Winner Take All Productions, “Kampjonat Boxing fuq CBS Sports Network” will be broadcast live nationally at 9 pm EST.
Biljetti għall “Kampjonat Boxing fuq CBS Sports Network” tibda fil $35 and are available at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Uffiċċju kaxxa Casino,www.ticketmaster.com or you can charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
30-year-old Casal was headed for big things in boxing before suffering a loss of focus and all four of his losses in a two-year stretch from 2007 biex 2009. Minn dakinhar, inactivity has been the name of his game.
So where was he and why wasn’t he fighting?
“I never really left,” said Casal during a break in one of his final training sessions. “I’ve been working full-time for the last three years, but I was ready to go and trying to get a fight the whole time. I had a number of them fall through. I had one fight fall through at the weigh-in when a guy failed his physical. That was heartbreaking. But now, I finally have a team in place that can keep them from falling through and I’m glad to be finally getting back in the ring.”
Casal says he’s basically the same talented fighter he always was… with a few improvements.
“Fiżikament, I feel exactly the same as I did five years ago. Mentalment, I would say I’m a little stronger and a lot more patient than I was when I was younger. I set my shots up a lot better. I don’t think the ring rust will be as bad as it is for other guys who take a lot of time off. I’ve been in the gym training fighters and working out the whole time. I expect to have a little bit of rust, but not as much as someone who was completely out for years. I picture it going very well if I stick to my game plan and stay very focused.”
Working with father Ray at their Casal’s Boxing Club Gym in Niagara Falls since February, Casal says he will now compete in the welterweight division and expects to take an aggressive approach to getting back on track.
“I want to win a few regional titles and then earn a world title shot. Around this time next year, I’d like to be in some important fights.”
Casal says he owes his apparent resurgence to promoter Greg Cohen, with whom he signed earlier this year.
“He’s a great promoter and does shows in my hometown. I’ve never fought here as a professional. I fought in Buffalo a few times in 2011, but never fought here. That was important to me. People are calling like crazy for tickets. I’m excited to get it on. With the crowd behind me, I’ll be 100% lest. I’ve just been waiting for the right guy to help me get to where I want to be. Looks like I found him.”
Fuq lejl ġlieda, bibien miftuħa fil 6 pm u l-azzjoni tibda fi 7:00 pm. The Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino is located at 310 4th Street fil Niagara Falls, NY. Għal aktar informazzjoni, sejħa 877-873-6322 jew żjara www.senecaniagaracasino.com.
