Undefeated prospect Richard “大力水手曼” Rivera takes his act South

哈特福德, 康涅狄格州. (十一月 26, 2018) – 不败的前景 理查德 “大力水手曼” 里维拉 will take his act South this Friday night, when he fights Joshua Robertson 在 “stay busy” fight on the “Boxing Bash” 卡, presented by Christy Martin Promotions, at Centerstage@Noda in Charlotte, 北卡罗来纳.
里维拉VS. 罗伯逊, contested at a 185-pounds catchweight, will be co-promoted by Rivera’s promoter, Hartford Boxing Promotions.
里维拉 (8-0, 7 科斯), the reigning Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) All America light heavyweight champion, is part of a trio that formed Hartford Boxing Promotions earlier this year, including Rivera’s manager/head trainer 托尼·布兰科 and their partner, Michael Tran.
Fighting out of Hartford (CT), Rivera has rejuvenated that market, whose rich boxing history dates back nearly a full century, headlined by International Hall of Famers 威利 “Will o’ the Wisp” 活力 和 Christopher “Battling” Battalino. Other top-area boxers include world champion 马龙 “魔术师” 椋鸟, 世界冠军挑战者 加斯帕 “印第安” 奥尔特加, 和 以色列 “宁” 卡多纳, 和 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain 劳伦斯·克莱贝.
现在, 虽然, it’s Rivera’s time to shine. Arguably the hardest-hitting, most popular fighter in New England, Rivera hit 兰迪·坎贝尔 so hard this past April in New Hampshire that the force of his powerful right broke his opponent’s ankle only seconds into the contest.
Rivera has developed a strong fan-base throughout New England and now he’s bringing his “大力水手” persona to the South for the first time. “This is a good opportunity to expand my ‘Popeye’ brand,” 里维拉说. “My last fight was in Mexico and this fight is in North Carolina. We’re on our way to going worldwide. I have a lot of family in North Carolina, Fayetteville and Raleigh, so I won’t be alone down there.
“我相信 2019 won’t be much different that my first year as a pro. I’ll be getting a lot of fights and I think that, by the end of next year, I’ll be fighting for something big. I stay in top shape in case a good opportunity comes around. I’m confident and I’ve really benefitted from being 乔·史密斯‘s sparring partner. This fight is about staying sharp because I don’t like having too much time off. The plan is to fight in a different part of the country, get a victory, and then remain in top shape.”
The wildly popular Rivera originally got his nickname because, when he was younger, his forearms were considerably larger than his biceps. Fighters in the gym jokingly teased Rivera about his enlarged forearms, calling him “大力水手,” and the nickname has stuck. 现在, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase, and he attributes his wins to eating his spinach to be good to the finish.
“Fighters today need to be more than talented,” added promoter 克里斯蒂 “The Coal Minder’s Daughter” 马丁, the two-division world champion who was a women’s boxing pioneer. I haven’t seen him (里维拉) fight yet, but I’ve been impressed by what I’ve heard about him. He’s a great addition to our card. Rivera is a big guy with power and everybody wants to see big guys. But he’s also smart, marketing wise, by capitalizing on ‘Popeye.’ He gets it.”
Blanco connected with Martin through social media and, as he explained, things went smoothly from there to place Rivera on that card. “We want to keep Richard busy and then have a breakout year in 2019,” Blanco noted. “The beauty of Richard is that he stays busy and works hard, sometimes when he’s training by himself. Boxing is his job and I believe he’s destined for greatness.”
罗伯逊 (7-11, 2 科斯), 林奇堡, 弗吉尼亚州, has fought the likes of unified world junior middleweight champion 贾勒特赫德, former USBA middleweight title holder 路易斯·阿里亚斯, and ex- WBC FECARBOX welterweight titlist 托马斯·拉曼纳.
门票售价 $70.00 (马戏团) 和 $35.00 (general admission and available to purchase at the venue.
门开处 6 P.M. ET 的第一场比赛计划于 7 P.M. AND.
所有战斗和战士都受到变革.

底特律 (三月 11, 2017) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa Shields shined in her television debut, knocking out the durable Szilvia Szabados in the fourth round (1:30) to advance to 2-0 as a professional in the main event on 的ShoBox: 新一代 星期五 on SHOWTIME at MGM Grand Detroit.
希尔兹 (2-0, 1 科斯) put on a show less than an hour from her hometown of Flint, 密歇根州。, landing nearly 50 percent of her power shots in the first women’s boxing main event in premium television history.
Szabados (15-9, 6 科斯), 匈牙利的, didn’t touch the canvas but never really stood a shot against an opponent that has been billed as the future of women’s boxing. Shields came out blazing in the opening round, backing up Szabados with crisp, clean punches as she out-landed her opponent 31-4 在第一个.
Shields was a bit more patient and settled in the second and third, but the onslaught continued against a relatively defenseless Szabados. After a flush right hand, left hook combo in the fourth, referee Harvey Dock had seen enough and stepped in to halt the contest with Szabados still on her feet.
“It was about respect,” Shields said of her performance. “I wanted to go out there and show I had power and I wasn’t scared of her. I knew she was tough coming in. That’s why I started going to the body. I was going to get the clean shot in one round and she was going to go, but the ref stopped it in the fourth. A knock out is a knockout. It was exciting.
“I’m glad everyone came. I took advantage of this great opportunity once again. It’s another step toward winning a world title.”
Szabados said she was disappointed with Dock’s decision to stop the fight when he did. “I’m very sad and heartbroken right now because it only went four rounds and I could have kept going,“ 她说. “Her hits were not painful. Her right hook got me a lot, 我知道. I could feel that one.”
在 的ShoBox 共同特征, Nikolay Potapov narrowly edged Antonio Nieves in a close, 10-round split decision scored 96-94 Potapov twice, 96-94 雪.
The technical match between undefeated top-10 bantamweight prospects was close from the opening bell. Nieves was the more active fighter, 着陆 64 punches per round to Potapov’s 50, but the round-by-round breakdowns reveal that Potapov prevailed in total connects as well as in landed power shots.
“我认为这是一场势均力敌的战斗, but I came on strong at the end,” Potapov said. “I had more and finished stronger. That made the difference. I am much more aggressive now and I sit down on my shots. That’s the difference training at Kronk has done for me.
“我知道我赢得了这场战斗. I wasn’t surprised when I got it. I wasn’t happy about the judging in my last big fight, but I thought this time I had done more than enough to win.”
Nieves did impressive work to the body, 连接上 59 total body shots compared to just 14 for Potapov, but it wasn’t enough to earn him the decision.
“我以为我赢了. I thought it was a bad decision,” Nieves said. “I don’t even think it should have been a spilt decision. I thought I was up clearly. He didn’t really score like he wanted to. I was making him miss and landing all the sharper punches. Everything he was hitting me with I was blocking and coming back.
“I don’t know why close fights don’t go my way. From here I go back to the drawing board. My whole team and a lot of the crowd felt like I won. I would love to fight him again.”
In a featured matchup between undefeated welterweights, Wesley Tucker (14-0, 8 科斯) edged Ed Williams in an eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-73, 79-71, 78-72 塔克.
The foul-filled fight featured little action. Toledo’s Tucker landed 31 %的他的力量,投篮的比例仅为 19 percent for Detroit’s Williams (12-2-1, 4 科斯), who was deducted two points for hitting to the back of the head on separate occasions. 塔克 (14-0, 8 科斯) didn’t land a jab the entire fight, but his heavier shots and accuracy with his power shots seemed to be more impressive to the judges.
“He was an awkward, long fighter, who knew how to move very well,” Tucker said. “I’m not disappointed it turned out like that. Not every fight can be pretty, so I came out with the win and that’s what matters most.
“I was really frustrated in there, but I’m an action kind of fighter, so when he was running it kind of was pissing me off. He was all over the place. He ran the whole fight.”
Williams landed only 17 他的总拳%的.
“He didn’t show me anything I didn’t expect,”威廉姆斯说. “This week was a great experience for me, but you want to come out with a win and I wasn’t able to get it done.”
在揭幕战电视, 小约书亚·格里尔. handed bantamweight prospect James Gordon-Smith his firstloss with a brutal one-punch sixth-round knockout (2:06).
After a blazing first round that saw over 50 power shots landed, Greer pepped his opponent with a steady diet of counter rights as Gordon-Smith continued to charge forward and fight largely off-balance. Chicago’s Greer floored Gordon-Smith with a perfectly timed right uppercut in the opening seconds of the fifth and, despite looking dazed, Gordon-Smith rallied to survive the back-and-forth round.
In the sixth, Greer (12-1-1, 5 科斯) knocked Gordon-Smith out cold with a huge straight right that sent the Detroit native falling face forward as referee Harvey Dock immediately waved off the bout.
“I guess he blinked. That was the problem,” Greer said. “I told everyone when I got here I didn’t have that pillow for no reason. I said don’t blink and I wasn’t playing. I knew I was going to get him. The pillow is just my trademark. 这没什么个人. You have to stand out somehow. That’s just what I do. Nothing personal to him.
“I knew what I came to do. I’m excited but I’m not shocked. My team knew what would happen and they had confidence in me. I knew it was only a matter of time.”
Gordon-Smith (11-1, 6 科斯) 是 160日 战斗机在前景发展系列赛中遭受第一次失败. And Nieves would later become the 161ST.
周五 quadrupleheader将重播 星期二, 三月 14 在 10 P.M. AND/PT在Showtime EXTREME. The telecast will also be available on SHOWTIME on DEMAND® 和SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

Claressa盾:
“I know about Laila Ali, and Christy Martin and Lucia Rijker, and I don’t box like any of them. I have my own unique style. I’ve never seen a female fighter like myself. I want to carry the sport.
“The boxers I like and study are Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis and Floyd Mayweather. Those are my favorites. And you can even throw Sugar Ray Leonard in there, 太.
“I’m going to be aggressive. I’m not going to be nervous and I’m not going to freeze up. I’m going to go right out there and hit her in the face with a right hand.
“This is my hometown fight. I last fought in Michigan three years ago. I’m going to showcase my skills on SHOWTIME.
“I’m embracing all of this. I grew up and heard when I was young that women can’t fight. I’m ready to show everyone just how wrong that is 在周五 晚上“。
SZILVIA SZABADOS:
“I know Claressa is popular because of the two gold medals, and she’s young and 21. This is her hometown so I know the fans will be cheering for her. Congratulations to her. But I just have to worry about fighting my fight and staying focused.
“I know she’s a come-forward fighter like me. Always go, 走, 走. I don’t know what she’ll bring. It’ll be a surprise. Everyone always has a plan and I have a plan, 还有. But I’m willing to change and improvise.
“I’ve been sparring with men mostly. It’s hard to find girls who can spar with me, especially in Hungary.”
ANTONIO NIEVES:
“I’m ready to go. I’m ready to show that night [a draw against Alejandro Santiago] 是侥幸. There are no distractions this time.
“I’m ready to show people that I’m a contender at this weight. I’m here to prove that I deserve to fight for a world title.”
尼古拉·波塔波夫:
“I’ve improved a lot working with Javan [Javan SugarHill Steward]. The sky’s the limit for me and I know I can be a legitimate contender in my division.
“There are going to be a lot of eyes on this fight so it’s important that I look good and get the victory. We’re both undefeated, and we’re both ranked, so there is a lot on the line in this fight.”
WESLEY TUCKER:
“I’m going to be the next world champion from Toledo. I’m a lefty and have power in both hands and I’m a pressure fighter.
“My right hook is my best punch and that’s rare for a lefty.
“I live 45 miles from here and I come here a lot so, 耶, it’s like a home fight for me.
“I know Ed Williams. He’s a nice little boxer, long and rangy. That’s about it.
“I’m going for the knockout and it may come early, or it may not. 无论, I always put on a good show.”
ED WILLIAMS:
“This is one of the fights that will determine whether I continue and move up, or I do something different. 这是它. 就是这样 的ShoBox has always been about for fighters like me.
“I took a break from boxing and got my college degree in industrial engineering. But I got the bug and came back. Things would have been much different if I would have stayed with it. I’m not doing anything with my degree yet, but will once I’m finished with boxing.
“I’m older but I don’t have many miles. I’m well-preserved. It’s going to be exciting and I’m looking forward to an exciting fight.”
JAMES GORDON SMITH:
“I’ve never lost to anyone from Chicago, 和 星期五 night will be no different.
“I’ve been around boxing forever and all the talking doesn’t bother me. I would expect nothing else. He’s coming into my backyard and should be confident. He’s coming in with an eight-fight winning streak. It don’t bother me. It just gives me the extra motivation to make sure no one comes into my backyard and beats me.”
JOSHUA GREER, JR。:
“It’s not my first undefeated fighter I’ve fought so it’s no big deal. 我知道我必须做的.
肯定, we were going at it pretty good at the press conference. You can say it’s a Chicago-Detroit thing. Of course there’s a rivalry there.
“I’m fast, but people underestimate my power. My power is a bigger strength than my speed. It’s something not a lot of people expect of me.
“You will see fireworks from round one.”
