This Saturday at The SportsZone in Derry, N.H.

 

 

 

קווינסי, מסה. (אפריל 2, 2018) — This Saturday night’s “Fight Night at The Zone”, מוצג על ידי Granite Chin Promotions, has been strengthened by the late addition of hot prospect אירווין גונזלס to a card already showcasing some of the best young, professional boxers in New England.

 

 

 

Granite Chin Promotions is on a mission to establish a fan-base in the Granite State, providing a fan friendly, full entertainment experience at The Sports Zone in Derry, ניו המפשייר.

 

 

 

גונזלס (8-0, 7 קוס), נלחם מווסטר, תואר שני, היה 2015 אלוף זהב כפפות ניו אינגלנד, who qualified for the 2016 ניסויים אולימפיים. The 21-year-old featherweight prospect will face Mexican פרנסיסקו “El Mono” Medal (12-12, 8 קוס) בהתקף שש-עגול.

 

 

 

גונזלס, who hasn’t fought since December 1 1 (sensational third-round knockout of previously undefeated 13-0 Marlon Olea in Providence), was supposed to fight St. Patrick’s Day in Boston, but he was informed the day of the weigh in that his opponent hadn’t cleared medicals.

 

 

 

I’m always in the gym working hard because I like to stay busy and be ready,” גונזלס אמר. “No layoffs for me. I’ve been sparring 3-4 times a week to polish my craft. אני תמיד מוכן. I was disappointed a few weeks ago, but I’m fighting on this card, and back on the right track.

 

 

 

“I only focus on my next fight, אפריל 7ה, against a tough, יריב מנוסה. He’s a veteran boxer from Mexico. After this Saturday night, I’ll concentrate on my next fight, מאי 5ה at Foxwoods.”

 

 

 

The addition of Gonzalez with a card featuring some of tomorrow’s stars such as Hartford, CT light heavyweight champion ריצ'רד “פופאי המלח” ריברה (6-0, 5 קוס) means two of the top three prospects in New England will be in action this Saturday in Derry. And several other promising boxers will also be in action. Rivera faces תַאַותָנִי “The Rattler” קמפבל, of Ohio, in the six-round co-featured event.

 

 

 

“We are happy to have Irvin on our show,” co-promoter Chuck Shearns אמר. “His last fight fell out and we are always happy to help local fighters, especially someone of Irvin’s caliber. We have five undefeated fighters on this show. They’re legitimate prospects with a lot of upside. ארווין, Richie and Omar are starting to get national attention and New Hampshire fans are getting an early look at them. The veteran fighters on this show have a lot to fight for as well. ”

 

 

 

דורצ'סטר, MA lightweight גבריאל דולוק (11-3, 2 קוס) headlines in the eight-round main event against Dallas veteran Larry “Slomoshun” נַפָּח.

 

 

 

Iraq War veteran Chris Traietti (25-4, 20 קוס), fighting out of Quincy, תואר שני, meets Indiana veteran “Jammin'” James Morrow in an eight-round, non-title fight. Traietti, whose title will not be on the line, is also the co-promoter of “Fight Night at The Zone.”

He was always a talented fighter but, at times in the ring, he was inconsistent and it cost him a few fights. As he got older, he boxed more talented boxers and looked good against them. He started believing in himself more and it showed in his training. His abilities and confidence grew and that got him all the way to the Olympic Trials. I feel he has the skills to become world champion in the future. The sky is the limit for this young man and I am proud to have him fighting on our show.”
גונזלס, a 2015 אלוף זהב כפפות ניו אינגלנד, will be headlining his first show in his first scheduled six-round bout. “Fighting in my hometown in the main event means a lot to me because,” Gonzalez admitted. “I’ve grown up in this city, fighting my whole life, and of people who’ve supported me will be watching me fight for the first time as a pro. אני מתרגש. I’m comfortable fighting here in Worcester and I want to showcase the boxing talent we have in Worcester.”
Gonzalez qualified for the 2016 Olympic Trials but he was eliminated, not due to a loss in the ring, for missing weight. He decided not to wait four years for another Olympic shot, turning pro this past March with a first-round stoppage of Gilvan סנטוס at Foxwoods Resort Casino. In four pro fights to date, Gonzalez has four knockouts and only one was extended into the second round.
“I was always told that I had a pro boxing style,” the well-spoken, handsome Gonzalez continued, “but we didn’t immediately decide to turn pro until the time was right. I had some stoppages as an amateur but, כמקצוען, I’ve been going more to the body. I do have heavy hands. I don’t go into a fight looking for a knockout. I just let ’em come but I’ve prepared to go six rounds if needed for this fight. I’ve been sparring eight rounds with different guys coming in fresh.”
In addition to being a prize fighter, the 20-year-old Gonzalez works at a bank and he also owns and operates New England Boxing gym with his father, former boxer אירווין גונזלס, where the youngster serves as a personal trainer.

WORCESTER, מסה. (ינואר 5, 2017) – Auburn (תואר שני) בינוני זוטר “אירי” Chuck Shearns will become the second-oldest professional fighter in Massachusetts boxing history ביום חמישי לילה, ינואר 19, in his farewell performance at the Worcester Palladium, marking the first pro boxing event in Worcester, located in Central Mass., in more than five years.
ההשבעה “העתיד של ניו אינגלנד” series event is being presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-זמן, 2-אלוף עולם החלוק Jose Antonio “גאלו” ריברה – ואת בנו, Anthonee “AJ” ריברה.
Rising junior lightweight prospect, 2015 אלוף זהב כפפות ניו אינגלנד אירווין גונזלס (4-0, 4 קוס), will be fighting at home in the 6-round main event against Mexican invader Oscar Eduardo Quezada (2-1, 1 KO), while Springfield (תואר שני) כבד משקל קל Reinaldo “בָּזוּקָה” Graceski (4-0, 2 קוס) meets Worcester’s ראלף ג'ונסון (2-9, 1 KO) in the six-round co-feature.
The 49-year-old Shearns (2-1, 1 KO), who is the general manager of Lundgren Honda in Auburn, ייקח ב Shavonte Dixon (0-1), של פילדלפיה, בהתמודדות עם ארבעה סיבובים. The state record, set in 2011 by then 53-year-old Joe Siciliano, is safe because Jan. 19ה will definitely be Shearns’ last fight.
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for all boxers in terms of what they go through to be able to perform at their best in the ring,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “Chuck is doing it at 49 שנים! That takes a lot of sacrifice and courage to put your body through that rugged training. I wish him the best and I am glad I can provide him with the opportunity to be able to say goodbye to boxing on his own terms.”
Shearns made his amateur debut at the age of 29, 10 years later he made his professional debut. “I grew up watching boxing with my father (ג'ון), who boxed in the Navy, and my grandfather (ג'ון),” Shearns explained. “My grandfather was a club fighter, כך, boxing was in my blood. I only had four amateur fights and one day I met “Fitzy,” who is now one of my closest friends. (Sean Fitzgerald, one of Worcester’s all-time best boxers, who is Shearns’ head trainer.) I told him I wanted one pro fight and asked him to train me.”
למה, למרות ש, בגיל 49 does he still put himself through such extensive training, while working fulltime during the holiday season, to fight an opponent half his age?
“Boxing was the ultimate hobby for me and I just got carried away with it,” Shearns admitted. “I’m a novelty, not a real pro boxer. I’m fighting ינואר 19ה because I was given this opportunity and decided to accept it but, בכנות, I’m sure that this it! Maybe I just wanted a chance to go out with a win because I lost my last one? אני לא יודע. Sometimes I wake up asking myself, ‘What am I doing?’ And ‘Fitzy’ is working me so hard for this fight – I don’t know if it’s my age or what – but I’ve hated every minute of it. I lost my father in March. He was always in my corner and this fight I’ll have RIP on my trunks in his honor.”
Lately, Shearns’ typical day has been, גם, in a word, unordinary, to say the least. He reports to work at 5 a.m., exercises and runs on the treadmill for an hour in a small gym at work, catches up with “Fitzy” at Anytime Fitness to hit the heavy and speed bags, and after work “Fitzy” trains Shearns at Camp Get Right.
Shearns has the complete support of his family and co-workers, who will all be at the Worcester Palladium supporting him יאן. 19. “אישתי (Karen) and two daughters (Kayla and Olivia) have always been there for me,” Shearns noted. “My wife supports me and has jokingly said, ‘We’re getting divorced if you lose this fight.’ I’ve worked at Lundgren Honda for about 20 years and most of the 100-plus employees there will be at my fight. I did want to fight one more time before I turn 50. When Jose asked me to fight, how could I pass up this final opportunity?”
Also fighting on the undercard in 4-round bouts are Worcester junior lightweight Andino Ranse in his pro debut vs. Lowell’s (תואר שני) ג'ונתן פרז (2-0-1, 2 קוס), pro-debuting Worcester heavyweight Felix Martinez לעומת. Dorchester’s (תואר שני) Brian Richardson (0-8), Hartford’s (CT) pro-debuting light heavyweight ריצ'רד “פופאי המלח” ריברה לעומת.

Puerto Rican אלכסנדר פיקו (1-1-1, 0 קוס) at a 145-pound catchweight, pro-debuting Springfield (תואר שני) משקל נוצה זוטר לואיס “Pancho” סנטיאגו לעומת, Mexican Jonathan Ramos (1-2, 0 קוס), 2016 N.W. אלוף כפפות זהב אנתוני לוריאנו (1-0), of East Haven (CT), לעומת.
