Valenzuela spent most of the time on the ropes, while Rivera teed-off on him, until a beautiful placed left hook by Rivera decked Valenzuela, who failed to get up until after referee Майк Райан completed the 10-count.
A busload of Rivera’s fans drove five hours from Hartford through a snowstorm, arriving just before Rivera entered the ring. “That means a lot to me,” Rivera smiled as he spoke about his fans. “We’re more than a gym, ми сім'я.
“I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. Наступний, I want to win the New England title. It’s vacant and I want it!”
“This was our first show in New Hampshire and I consider it a success,” co-promoter Chuck Shearnз сказав, “despite some things going against us like tonight’s weather.

The son and nephew of multiple-time world kickboxing champions – father Tommy and uncle – worked his corner — Peabody, Массачусетс Russell Kimber had a promising pro debut against tough Nathan Schulte in a match contested at a 185-pound catchweight. The 32-year-old Kimber, who was the crowd favorite having lived several years in New Hampshire, overcame the determined Schulte for a hard-fought victory by way of a four-round majority decision.
“I was a little nervous with this being my first time in a pro ring,” Kimber admitted after his fight. “I hadn’t been in a ring for 1 ½ years and there was some ring rust. Зараз, I know what I need to good, and I’ll be a lot better next fight. This was my first camp and I’ve learned a lot. I’d like to stay busy, come back in late January, early February.”
Undefeated Whitman, MA junior welterweight prospect Майк “Bad Man” JE, Молодший.charged across the ring, unloading a powerful right that immediately sent Bardraiel Smith to the canvas.

In a non-title fight contested at a 185-pounds catchweight, the Quincy, MA-based Traietti floored his game Mexican opponent with a straight right midway through the opening round, closing the show in the second round with a series of unanswered punches.
The only New Hampshire native on the card, Claremont junior middleweight Ricky Ford(1-1-1) won his first pro fight, taking a lop-sided, four-round unanimous decision over pro MMA fighter Andy Aiello, who made his pro boxing debut.
In another stay-busy fight, former world-rated Райан “Польський князь” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 КО), fighting out of Quincy (Массачусетс), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight Франциско “Мавпа” Medal. Kielczweski hit Medal with a with a lethal left to the body, leaving Medal in obvious pain and unable to rise before the 10-count.

Inaugural “Майбутнє Нової Англії” series event in Worcester
Вустер, Маса. (Січень 11, 2017) – Fast rising featherweight prospect Irvin Gonzalez (4-0, 4 КО) will continue Worcester’s rich boxing tradition Четверніч, Січень 19, headlining the inaugural “Майбутнє Нової Англії” series event against Mexican invader Ізраїль “Тигр” Rojas (9-14, 3 КО), at the Worcester Palladium.
Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), is promoting the first professional boxing show in the Central Massachusetts city in more than five years.

Worcester’s boxing tradition started close to a century ago with Canadian import Lou Brouillard, a two-division world champion and Hall of Famer, 1928 Бронзовий призер Олімпійських ігор Leo Sawicki, and more recently, серед інших, pro and amateur standouts such as multiple national amateur champion Bobby Harris, Шон “The Irish Express” Sean Fitzgerald і Едвін Родрігес.
Arguably the greatest Worcester fighter in the past 50 years is three-time, Два-чемпіон світу Jose Antonio “Gallo” Рівера, who is promoting “Майбутнє Нової Англії” with his son, Anthonee. “I have seen Irvin train and fight since he was in the Junior Olympics,” Rivera said. “I am very proud of him because he was able to discover on his own that he was getting in his own way. 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.”
Гонсалес, a 2015 Нова Англія Золотого чемпіон рукавички, 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. Я схвильований. 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 Santos в казино Foxwoods Resort. 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, а про, 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 Irvin Gonzalez, where the youngster serves as a personal trainer.

ПРЕС-РЕЛІЗ
REMINDER: The deadline to apply for a media credential is Січень. 12ї

Вустер, Маса. (Січень 5, 2017) – Auburn (Массачусетс) в першій середній “Ірландський” Chuck Shearns will become the second-oldest professional fighter in Massachusetts boxing history в четвер ніч, Січень 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.
Перше “Майбутнє Нової Англії” series event is being presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), which is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-час, 2-чемпіон світу Jose Antonio “Gallo” Рівера – і його син, Anthonee “AJ” Рівера.
Rising junior lightweight prospect, 2015 Нова Англія Золотого чемпіон рукавички Irvin Gonzalez (4-0, 4 КО), will be fighting at home in the 6-round main event against Mexican invader Oscar Eduardo Quezada (2-1, 1 KO), while Springfield (Массачусетс) напівважку вагу Reinaldo “Базука” Graceski (4-0, 2 КО) meets Worcester’s Ральф Джонсон (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, візьме на себе Shavonte Dixon (0-1), Філадельфія, in a four-round bout. The state record, set in 2011 by then 53-year-old Joe Siciliano, is safe because Jan. 19ї 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 років! 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 років потому he made his professional debut. “I grew up watching boxing with my father (Джон), who boxed in the Navy, and my grandfather (Джон),” Shearns explained. “My grandfather was a club fighter, так, 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.”
Чому, хоча, у віці від 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 Січень 19ї because I was given this opportunity and decided to accept it but, чесно, I’m sure that this it! Maybe I just wanted a chance to go out with a win because I lost my last one? Я не знаю. 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, добре, 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 Січень. 19. “My wife (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 (Массачусетс) Джонатан Перес (2-0-1, 2 КО), pro-debuting Worcester heavyweight Felix Martinez проти. Dorchester’s (Массачусетс) Brian Richardson (0-8), Hartford’s (Коннектикут) pro-debuting light heavyweight Річард “Папай Морячок Людина” Рівера проти. Brockton’s (Массачусетс) Huston Crayton (1-8, 0 КО), pro-debuting Southbridge (Массачусетс) боксер Wilfredo Pagan проти. Puerto Rican Alexander Picot (1-1-1, 0 КО) at a 145-pound catchweight, pro-debuting Springfield (Массачусетс) junior featherweight Луїс “Pancho” Сантьяго проти, Mexican Jonathan Ramos (1-2, 0 КО), 2016 N.W. Золоті рукавички чемпіона Anthony Laureano (1-0), of East Haven (Коннектикут), проти.
