QUINCY, מאַסע. (אַפּריל 2, 2018) — This Saturday night’sFight Night at The Zone”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, has been strengthened by the late addition of hot prospect Irvin Gonzalez 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, New Hampshire.

גאָנזאַלעז, 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,” גאָנזאַלעז געזאגט. “No layoffs for me. I’ve been sparring 3-4 times a week to polish my craft. איך בין שטענדיק צוגעגרייט. 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, אַפּריל 7טה, against a tough, יקספּיריאַנסט קעגנער. He’s a veteran boxer from Mexico. After this Saturday night, I’ll concentrate on my next fight, מייַ 5טה at Foxwoods.

 

 

 

The addition of Gonzalez with a card featuring some of tomorrow’s stars such as Hartford, CT light heavyweight champion ריטשארד “פּאָפּייע די סאַילאָר מענטש” ריוועראַ (6-0, 5 קאָס) 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 ראַנדי “The Rattler” קאַמפּבעלל, of Ohio, in the six-round co-featured event.

 

 

 

We are happy to have Irvin on our show,” co-promoter Chuck Shearns האט. “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. ערווין, 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. ”

 

 

 

Dorchester, MA lightweight Gabriel Duluc (11-3, 2 קאָס) headlines in the eight-round main event against Dallas veteran LarrySlomoshun” סמיט.

ריוועראַ, fighting out of Hartford (קאָרט), controlled the action from the opening bell against his battle-tested opponent from Mexico, who had a tremendous experience advantage in his 147טה pro fight, compared to Rivera’s fifth.
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 מייק רייאַן 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, מיר ניטאָ משפּחה.
I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. ווייַטער, 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 Shearns האט, “despite some things going against us like tonight’s weather. We’re grateful for the support we received from Hampton, New Hampshire, the commission and local businesses. They worked with us and we can’t wait to return.
The son and nephew of multiple-time world kickboxing championsfather Tommy and uncleworked his cornerPeabody, מאַ 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. איצט, 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.

Smith somehow got to his feet but Ohan quickly ended Smith’s night, only 30-second into round one, as referee Ryan waved off the action.
New England cruiserweight champion and the show’s co-promoter, Iraq War veteran Chris Traietti (25-5, 19 קאָס) outclassed Fabian Valdez en route to a win by second-round knockout in a stay-busy fight to close out 2017. 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 ריאַן “די פּויליש פּרינס” קיעלקזוועסקי(27-3, 9 קאָס), fighting out of Quincy (מאַ), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight פֿראַנסיסקאָ “El MonoMedal.

The 20-year-old Gonzalez was absolutely relentless in the main event, fright rom the opening bell, throwing a barrage of unanswered punches from every conceivable angle, repeatedly hurting his Mexican foe, ישראל “Tigre” Ramos (9-15, 3 קאָס), including a late first-round knockdown. Gonzalez didn’t let up in the second, firing crisp punches, until Rojas hit the canvas early in the second frame and referee Steve Clark had seen enough, stopping the one-sided fight.
Gonzalez is continuing the rich Worcester boxing tradition. “I’m always relentless,” Gonzalez said with a smile. “It was great fighting in the main event at home. I heard the crowd and really appreciated their support. I hurt him early and I almost took him out in the first round with a body punch. I finished him off with a right in the second. None of my fights have gone the distance, but I prepared to go the full six tonight, if needed.

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 Olympic bronze medalist Leo Sawicki, and more recently, צווישן אנדערע, pro and amateur standouts such as multiple national amateur champion Bobby Harris, שאָן “The Irish ExpressSean Fitzgerald און עדווין ראַדריגעז.
Arguably the greatest Worcester fighter in the past 50 years is three-time, צוויי-אָפּטייל וועלט מייַסטער Jose Antonio “די גאַללאָ” ריוועראַ, who is promoting “ניו ענגלאַנד 'ס צוקונפֿט” 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.
גאָנזאַלעז, אַ 2015 ניו ענגלאַנד גאָלדען גלאָוועס מייַסטער, 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. איך בין יקסייטאַד. 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 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, as a pro, 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.

49-year-old pro boxer “איריש” Chuck Shearns Hanging up gloves January 19th

פֿאַר באַלדיק מעלדונג
REMINDER: The deadline to apply for a media credential is Jan. 12טה

Worcester, מאַסע. (יאַנואַר 5, 2017) – Auburn (מאַ) יינגער מידדלעוועיגהט “איריש” Chuck Shearns will become the second-oldest professional fighter in Massachusetts boxing history אויף דאנערשטיג נאַכט, יאַנואַר 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.
די ינאָגיעראַל “ניו ענגלאַנד 'ס צוקונפֿט” series event is being presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (רפּע), which is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-צייַט, 2-אָפּטייל וועלט מייַסטער Jose Antonio “די גאַללאָ” ריוועראַ – און זיין זון, AnthoneeAJ” ריוועראַ.
Rising junior lightweight prospect, 2015 ניו ענגלאַנד גאָלדען גלאָוועס מייַסטער Irvin Gonzalez (4-0, 4 קאָס), will be fighting at home in the 6-round main event against Mexican invader Oscar Eduardo Quezada (2-1, 1 קאָ), while Springfield (מאַ) ליכט כעוויווייט Reinaldo “באַזאָאָקאַ” גראַסעסקי (4-0, 2 קאָס) meets Worcester’s Ralph Johnson (2-9, 1 קאָ) in the six-round co-feature.
The 49-year-old Shearns (2-1, 1 קאָ), who is the general manager of Lundgren Honda in Auburn, וועט נעמען אויף Shavonte Dixon (0-1), פון פילאדעלפיע, in a four-round bout. The state record, set in 2011 by then 53-year-old Joe Siciliano, is safe because Jan. 19טה will definitely be Shearnslast 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 יאר אַלט! 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 (יוחנן), who boxed in the Navy, and my grandfather (יוחנן),” Shearns explained. “My grandfather was a club fighter, אַזוי, boxing was in my blood. I only had four amateur fights and one day I metFitzy,” who is now one of my closest friends. (Sean Fitzgerald, one of Worcester’s all-time best boxers, who is Shearnshead trainer.) I told him I wanted one pro fight and asked him to train me.
וואָס, כאָטש, בייַ די עלטער פון 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 יאַנואַר 19טה because I was given this opportunity and decided to accept it but, האָנעסטלי, I’m sure that this it! Maybe I just wanted a chance to go out with a win because I lost my last one? I don’t know. Sometimes I wake up asking myself, ‘What am I doing?’ And ‘Fitzyis working me so hard for this fightI don’t know if it’s my age or whatbut 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, Shearnstypical day has been, געזונט, in a word, unordinary, to say the least. He reports to work at 5 אַ.ם., exercises and runs on the treadmill for an hour in a small gym at work, catches up withFitzyat Anytime Fitness to hit the heavy and speed bags, and after workFitzytrains 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 Jan. 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?”
