Leave a comment

Resultats "Crossroads" de New Hampshire

DERRY, N.H. (Abril 18, 2021) -Ex-campió de pes mitjà de Nova AnglaterraBall de Kendrick "Peppa", Jr. va representar la millor actuació professional a l’esdeveniment principal d’ahir a la nit contra perillososBryan "El guerrer" Vera a la part nocturna de la capçalera doble-dia "Crossroads", presentat per Granite Chin Promotions, al New England Sports Center de Derry, Nova Hampshire.

El pla previ a la lluita es va seguir com a Ball (16-1-2, 11 KOs) caixonat i mogut, mentre que Vera (28-17, 18 KOs) pressió aplicada, des de la campana d'obertura. Ball va prendre el control a la segona ronda, quan es va quedar a la butxaca, eliminant combinacions nítides. Ball va disparar combinacions més efectives a la tercera ronda quan Vera començava a perseguir el seu rival. Ball va començar a moure's al voltant de l'anell i a lluitar des de l'exterior al quart i es va mantenir en els dits del peu la resta de la lluita.

Ball va guanyar una decisió unànime de vuit rondes (79-73, 79-73, 78-74) per convertir-se en el Consell Mundial de Boxa (CMB) USNBC (Estats Units) Super campió de plata de pes mitjà.

“Aquesta va ser la meva millor lluita, a causa de qui vaig lluitar, i la magnitud de la lluita,”Va comentar Ball. “El pla era fer box i moure's perquè era molt més petit i lent. De vegades vaig xocar, quan vaig saber que no em feia mal, però no hauria d’haver assumit els riscos ”.

Vera, de 39 anys, no és el mateix combatent que va guanyar tres campions del món diferents:Andy Lee, Sergio Mora (dues vegades) iSerhiy Dzinziruk.  El texà ha de decidir si és hora de penjar finalment els guants.

“Va ser increïble, sens dubte, el nostre millor programa fins ara,”Granite Chin’sChris Traietti declarat després de l'espectacle. “Ens sentim molt bé en intensificar per donar aquests combatents, sobretot els locals, una plataforma per actuar davant dels fans. Crec que molts promotors s’han quedat mandrosos. Ens van donar un carril i Granite Chin ho va aprofitar. Aquest va ser el nostre quart espectacle amb fans durant l'any passat. Brian va lluitar molt i és un noi fantàstic, però no és el mateix tipus que era el 2011. Ha de pensar què farà.

“Granite Chin torna aquí al juny 26º amb una altra doble capçalera. L’espectacle de la tarda serà el Granite Chin Invitational per als boxadors d’elit oberts. Amb els Guants d'Or de Nova Anglaterra cancel·lats de nou, hi ha un buit per omplir. Si els promotors ajudaran els aficionats, Segur que ho faré, a partir de juny 26º."

DesafiadorMarquès Bates (8-4, 6 KOs) destronat campió defensor del pes welter de New HampshireRyan DiBartolomeo (3-2-1, 1 KO) mitjançant una aturada de la sisena ronda en una divertida co-funció. Un dret devastador de Bates li va donar la nova corona, ja que l'àrbitre ni tan sols comptava, ja que el metge de l'anell va entrar ràpidament a l'anell.

Larry "Hitman" Pryor va contractar el contracteScott Lambert i va perdre poc temps ocupant-se dels negocis per convertir-se en el campió de pesos creuers de New Hampshire. Pryor va aprofitar la seva alçada decisiva i va aconseguir avantatges, tancant l'espectacle amb un ganxo esquerre perfectament llançat que va enviar Lambert a la tela. Lambert va aconseguir superar el compte, però l'àrbitre va aturar la baralla a la meitat de la primera ronda quan va veure Lambert balancejant-se d'anada i tornada sobre les cames de goma.

Lanky esquerràFrancis "El tanc" Hogan (5-0, 5 KOs) es va graduar ahir a la nit amb una brillant actuació en contraLarry "Slo Mo" Smith, qui era a la seva 60º lluita professional. Hogan va derrocar Smith a principis de la tercera ronda i va atrapar al texà a la fi de la mateixa ronda amb una combinació d'esquerres al temple. Smith va guanyar el compte, però no va poder respondre al timbre de la quarta ronda, i Hogan, de 20 anys, es va convertir en el nou campió júnior de pes mitjà de New Hampshire.

Ex campió dels pesos pesants de Nova AnglaterraJustin "Tren boig" Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 KOs) es va posicionar per un altre N.E.. títol amb un eliminatòria espectacular deAlfredo “So” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 KO). El Rolfe de 263 lliures, lluitant fora de Fairfield, Maine, va carregar contra el timbre a la campana i va adormir el seu oponent d’Arizona al seu racó, quan es va comptar amb la marca de 20 segons.

El membre més nou de la família Fightin ’Whitley de l’oest de Massachusetts, l'invicte pes welterDenzel Whitley, va aconseguir la seva quarta victòria amb el seu quart eliminatòria. Va perforarAquilandro Brandao al final de la primera ronda i l'àrbitre va aturar la lluita.

El invicteJahye Brown (9-0, 7 KOs) va aconseguir el títol vacant de pes mitjà júnior de l'ABF Athletic amb una dura i disputada decisió unànime de vuit rondes sobre un rival mexicà,Potes dormint (12-4-1, 9 KOs).  The two fought toe-to-toe from the opening bell and Brown landed the more effective punches inside to earn the victory.

Promising middleweight prospectJulien “Black Dragon” Baptiste va millorar a 2-0 with his second knockout, blasting outBruno Dias in the third round.

Fighting for the first time in more than eight years, Fall River, MA welterweightDustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 KOs) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAntonioAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match. 

Mitjà júniorCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon dues vegades, the last closing the show late in the first round.

“Cannon” Berry stops Ibarra in 5

UBO All-America Welterweight ChampionBrandon “The Cannon” Berry (21-5-2, 13 KOs) successfully defended in the afternoon card’s main event, superant un inici lent en què es va animar a aturar el rivalGael Ibarra (5-3, 4 KOs) a la cinquena ronda.

Berry va acabar la lluita al cinquè, quan va descarregar dos bombs de cops de puny sense resposta sobre un Ibarra atrapat fins que l'àrbitre va deixar la baralla.

"M'alegro que no hagi estat una lluita de 4 rondes,”, Va dir Berry després de la baralla. “Era un noi fort. Ho sentia. Em va posar a prova. Vull donar les gràcies a la meva família i amics d’aquí, i Granite Chin i tothom que participa en la promoció ".

En l'esdeveniment co estel·lar, Campió dels pesos pesants de Nova AnglaterraMike "Fly" Marshall (4-1, 3 KOs), en una lluita sense títol, noquejatTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.

Edmonds, a Southpaw de Worcester, Massachusetts, és graduat universitari i té una bona perspectiva de veure.

En una lluita sense títol, Campió de pes welter de Nova AnglaterraMike "Bad Man" Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 KOs) va escolaritzar el seu oponent de Las Vegas de 54 combats, mitjà júniorRynell Griffin. Ohan va equipar Griffin tres vegades a la primera ronda, el tercer amb un ganxo esquerre al cos del qual Griffin no va poder superar el compte.

“El Gall” JOSE ANTONIO RIVERA

RESULTATS OFICIALS
THE CHAMP IS BACK: referee Bob Benoit (L) and Jose Antonio Rivera

WORCESTER, Missa. (Agost 19, 2018) – Seven years after his last fight, “El Gall” José Antonio Rivera returned to the ring in grand fashion last night (Dissabte) al titular “Retorn, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment, al Palladium a 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. Tres vegades, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Herrero (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.

 

 

 

Finalment, 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. Em sento molt bé. 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).”

 

 

 

José Antonio Rivera (R) had a successful comeback fight

 

 

 

En l'esdeveniment co estel·lar, 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 gris (16-4, 12 KOs) i 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 “el Sucaro” pagà (5-0, 3 KOs) romàs invicte, using a relentless body attack to drop Engelberto “Guarura” Valenzuela (11-15, 3 KOs) tres vegades, 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), of 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 “The Brick” Abraham (6-31-2, 6 KOs) dues vegades en la segona ronda, en ruta a una victòria per decisió unànime.

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the night, 45-anys d'edat Jose Angel “KO” Ortiz (5-14-1, 2 KOs) caigut 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.

“El Gall” Jose Antonio Rivera to headline “Retorn”

Leave a comment
El campió està de tornada!
Agost 17 al Palladium a Worcester, Massachusetts
“El Gall” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald

 

WORCESTER, Missa. (Juliol 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “El Gall” Jose Rivera returns to the ring August 17 al titular “Retorn”, presentat per Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), al Palladium a Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Rivera (41-6-1, 24 KOs) has already lost more than 30 lliura, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 KOs) in the eight-round main event.

 

 

 

En 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO) World welterweight title, parada Gilberto Flores en la segona ronda. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, favorit local Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (AMB) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.

 

 

 

In front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera capped his boxing career by winning a 12-round unanimous decision in 2006 over defending champion Alejandro Garcia(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.

 

 

 

“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. A. J., and I talking about chasing history,” Rivera ha explicat. “We are not able to put that together right now (A. J. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17º show.), but because of my hard work these last six months, I felt that it was only fitting to continue with my fight.

 

 

 

“Granite Chin Promotions has been very instrumental to make sure that this show is put together in the most professional manner possible. I won’t think our promotional company (Jos and A.J. own and operate RPE Promotions Entertainment) would have been able to pull this off. All the negotiations had to be done and me training the only way I know how, at a championship level, would have been too much for us to handle.”

 

 

 

Promocions de Granit Chin’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns addicional, “When Jose and I started talking about his ring return, I was the last person to think he was crazy. We were friends during his championship days and I know how incredibly committed and disciplined Jose is. Vaig lluitar en 49 anys, not to compare myself to the level Jose has been on, but I know that it can be done. What everyone should know is how well Jose has taken care of himself during his thirties and into his forties. Did I ever think that Chris (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? No, but I’m happy to be involved and I will support him as far as he wants to take this. He’s been training like he’s 25 and Jose’s going to surprise some people.”

 

 

 

During Rivera’s title reigns, unlike other world champions, he also held a full-time job as a court officer in the Massachusetts Trial Court, a position in Worcester that he still holds 17 years later. Between working and training, never mind his family responsibilities, Jose somehow manages to balance everything in his extremely busy life.

 

 

 

“Let’s just say it makes for a busy schedule,” Rivera remarked. “I am committed to taking care of my family and will do whatever it takes. I usually run before work and train after work. Starting early and finishing late makes for busy days, but the job needs to get done. Ara, I’m in the middle of the hardest period of training. The week of the fight is more about preparing mentally and making weight. There’s nothing you can do the week of the fight to help you get into better shape.”

 

 

 

Rivera isn’t under any illusions that his comeback will lead to another major world title. The plan is for him to have two more fights to reach a total of 50 com a professional, but he’s taking things one fight at a time, and he still hopes his next fight, tentatively slated for later this year, will be on the same card as his son’s pro debut.

 

 

 

Rivera last fought in 2011, taking an eight-round decision over Paul Mpendo, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. The battle-tested Galvan, his Aug. 17º opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Including Zab Judah, Juli Cèsar Chavez, Jr., Jorge Paez i Paul Spadafora.

 

 

 

“I hear he comes to fight and that he likes to fool around a bit to try and get into his opponent’s head,” Rivera added. I’ve concentrated on me, my timing and focus on the game plan

 

 

 

“Training for this fight has been more mental than anything else. I have been able to reach peak performance at 45 training like I did in my prime. The most important thing is that, working with my trainer Sean Fitzgerald, I’ve been focused on making sure my timing gets better since it’s been seven years since I last fought.

 

 

 

“I, per descomptat, it’s always a great feeling to box in front of my hometown fans. Their support is always appreciated.”

 

 

 

The name of the event is “Retorn” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.

 

 

 

De pes mitjà Kendrick Ball, Jr. (9-1-2, 6 KOs) and junior middleweight Khiary gris (15-4, 11 KOs), both promoted by CES Boxing, will be fighting at home in Worcester as pros for the first time in a pair of six-round bouts. Ball meets Demetrio Walker (8-21-2, 4 KOs) in the co-featured event, while Gray (15-4, 11 KOs) cares Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 KOs), of Brockton, Massachusetts, in a rematch of a fight won by Gray.

 

 

 

Also scheduled to fight on the undercard in four-round bouts are Springfield, MA welterweight Jose Angel “KO” Ortiz (4-13-1, 1 KO) vs. Seth Basler (0-8) and pro-debuting featherweight Joshua Orta vs. Worcester’s Edwin Rosat (1-7-1, 1 KO), Southbridge, MA welterweight Wilfredo “el Sucaro” pagà (4-0, 2 KOs) vs. TBA, and Worcester’s pro-debuting welterweight Eslih Owusu.vs. Bryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-30-2, 6 KOs).

Undefeated featherweight prospect Irvin Gonzalez added to “Fight Night at The Zone”

Leave a comment

 

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

 

 

 

QUINCY, Missa. (Abril 2, 2018) — This Saturday night’s “Fight Night at The Zone”, presentat per 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.

 

 

 

González (8-0, 7 KOs), fighting out of Worcester, Massachusetts, era una 2015 campió dels Guants d'Or de Nova Anglaterra, who qualified for the 2016 Proves Olímpiques. The 21-year-old featherweight prospect will face Mexican Francisco “El Mono” Medal (12-12, 8 KOs) en un combat a sis assalts.

 

 

 

González, 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,” González va dir. “No layoffs for me. I’ve been sparring 3-4 times a week to polish my craft. Jo sempre estic preparat. 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, Abril 7º, against a tough, oponent amb experiència. He’s a veteran boxer from Mexico. After this Saturday night, I’ll concentrate on my next fight, Maig 5º at Foxwoods.”

 

 

 

The addition of Gonzalez with a card featuring some of tomorrow’s stars such as Hartford, CT light heavyweight champion Richard “Popeye el mariner” Rivera (6-0, 5 KOs) 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 Divertit “The Rattler” Campbell, of Ohio, in the six-round co-featured event.

 

 

 

“We are happy to have Irvin on our show,” co-promoter Chuck Shearns dit. “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. Irvin, 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 KOs) headlines in the eight-round main event against Dallas veteran Larry “Slomoshun” Herrero.

 

 

 

Iraq War veteran Chris Traietti (25-4, 20 KOs), fighting out of Quincy, Massachusetts, meets Indiana veteran “Jammin'” James Morrow en una de vuit assalts, non-title fight. Traietti, whose title will not be on the line, is also the co-promoter of “Fight Night at The Zone.”

 

 

 

Another top Conn. perspectiva, Danbury junior welterweight Omar Bordoy (4-0, 1 KO), adquireix Carlos Galindo, de Woburn (Massachusetts), en un partit de quatre rondes. Other four-rounders on the undercard include Peabody, MA light heavyweight Russell Kimber (1-0) vs. Dustin Caplinger; Irish welterweight Paddy McGee, now fighting out of Dorchester (Massachusetts), makes his pro debut vs. Philadelphia’s Bardraiel Smith; Springfield, MA welterweight Anthony Velezquez (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Philadelphia’s Shavante Dixon, and Claremont, NH junior middleweight Rickey Ford (1-1-1) vs. Philadelphia’s Demetrius Thomas.

Granite Chin’s “Rumble at The RIM” RESULTATS OFICIALS

Leave a comment
Richard “Popeye the Sailor Man” Rivera
Good to finish because he eats his spinach
Russell Kimber wins pro debut
HAMPTON, N.H. (Desembre 9, 2017) — Colorful light heavyweight prospect Richard “Popeye el mariner” Rivera romàs invicte (5-0, 4 KOs), veterà Roberto “El Vell” Valenzuela, last night (Dissabte) al “Rumble at The RIM” esdeveniment principal, presentat per Granite Chin Promotions, at The RIM Sports Complex in Hampton, New Hampshire.
Rivera, fighting out of Hartford (Connecticut), controlled the action from the opening bell against his battle-tested opponent from Mexico, who had a tremendous experience advantage in his 147º 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 Mike Ryan 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, som família.
“I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. Següent, 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 dit, “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 champions – father Tommy and uncle – worked his corner — Peabody, Massachusetts 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. Ara, 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 Micro “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr.charged across the ring, unloading a powerful right that immediately sent Bardraiel Smith to the canvas. 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 KOs) 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 Ryan “El príncep polonès” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 KOs), fighting out of Quincy (Massachusetts), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight Francisco “El Mono” 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.
New Jersey middleweight Chris “Sandman” Thomas (7-0-1, 4 KOs) kept his unbeaten pro record intact with a second-round stoppage of Demetrius Thomas. Thomas used a rapid-fire combination to drop Thomas, who beat the count, but he was getting hammered when referee Ryan stopped the fight late in the second round.
