Vinicius De Jesus stops Chris Lozano to Retain CES MMA welterweight title

Skryf 'n opmerking

HARTFORD, Conn. (September 7, 2019) – CES MMA World Welterweight Champion Vinicius De Jesus made his first title defense tonight, stopping game challenger Chris “The Cleveland Assassin” Lozano in the third round in the “CESMMA 58” main event at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford.

The main card was streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, die wêreld se voorste digitale subskripsie diens vir vechtsporten.

Lozano (10-5) dropped De Jesus (9-2) in the opening round with a shot to the temple, but the Brazilian bounced up and fought back. The first two rounds were fought relatively cautious as both fighters took turns being the aggressor. De Jesus took charge in the third connected on punches and kicks, while avoiding Lozano’s limited offensive attacks. A strong De Jesus punch snapped Lazano’s head and that’s the opening the defending chance had set up. He bashed Lazano around the cage, trapping him as he threw punishing combinations until the referee waved off the action midway through the third.

“I appreciate him (Lozano) accepting this fight when others didn’t,” an excited De Jesus praised his opponent after the fight. “I respect him very much and hope he’s okay and back in the cage soon. I have a high fight IQ and he was difficult to hit. This is for my fans and family.

“My boxing paid off. My father coached me to box. Nou, I’m looking for the big show, the lions in the UFC.”

In die mede-featured gebeurtenis, Hartford heavyweightParker Porter (8-5) and his Brazilian opponent, Dirlei Broenstrup (16-7) put on a very entertaining show. Porter couldn’t miss his overhand right in the first round, but Broenstrup responded in the second and came out hot for the third. All of a sudden Porter unloaded a straight right on Broenstrup’s chin and that’s all she wrote with less than two minutes remaining on the clock.

“I knew I started to get tired in the third round,” Porter commented. “I felt that I had won the first two rounds and my mentality was stay alive and don’t get taken out. I’d love to get a shot at the CES heavyweight strap in my next fight.”

Veteran Cincinnati lightweightReggie Merriweather (13-5) ruined the homecoming type of night for popular and previously undefeatedJesse James Kosakowski (3-1) from Waterbury, CT. Merriweather landed several bombs, Kosakowski got out of a few jams, and then suddenly Merriweather closed the show with a single righthanded punch halfway through the first round. Kosakowski’s large crowd of supporters expressed their collective feelings the referee had prematurely stopped the fight, but the upset was already in the books.

Massachusetts featherweight“Relentless” Robbie Leroux switched positions onPete “The Heat” Rogers, Jr.  to win by way of a reverse heal hold (hieronder afgebeeld) forcing a tap-out. It appeared that Rogers had the advantage and was moments away from victory Leroux did his thing.

Florida bantamweightJornel “A1” Lugo, who lived in Wallingford (CT), used his speed and angles to stopHarris “Dirty Harry” Bonfilgio on punches in the first round. “Only one thing pays the bills…skills,” Lugo said after the fight. “Everybody kept telling me to watch out for his kicks. I studied – I’m paranoid – so I was prepared.”

Pro-debuting Brooklyn flyweightAdrian Haly took a split decision fromJustin “Juggernaut” Valentin, van Meriden (CT), in the first fight of the night steamed live on UFC FIGHT PASS.

“CESMMA 59” Oct. 25, 2019 at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI

Providence lightweightSean Soriano (12-6) will headline “CESMMA 59” on Friday night, Oktober 25, 2019, at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island. A pair of undefeated, red-hot prospects, New York welterweightJohn Gotti III (4-0) and Connecticut light heavyweightWilliam “Knightmare” Knight (5-0), are also scheduled to fight on what promises to be a loaded card.

plaaslike gunstelingNick Giuiletti, fighting out of nearby Wallingford, jumped all over lightweightCody Schieve right off the bell, driving his over-matched opponent to the mat and unleashed a barrage of unanswered punches until the undercard fight was halted only 38-second into round one by way of technical knockout.

Massachusetts cruiserweightDan Randall used an effective ground-and-pound attack againstJesse Baughman, who tapped out midway through the opening round.

Connecticut bantamweight Will “Siracha” Smith took two of three rounds from Aaron Reese for a unanimous decision in the opening match of the evening.

“Die spesiale een” Sharad Collier Back in action Oct. 10 at Foxwoods

Skryf 'n opmerking

 

HARTFORD, Conn. (Augustus 21, 2018) – Hartford blue-chip prospect “Die spesiale een” Sharad Collier returns to action October 20, on a show presented by CES Boxing, at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.

 

 

 

The two-time New England Golden Gloves champion made his professional debut this past June 16, on his promoter’s Hartford Boxing Promotions’ eerste geval, “Veg Night at the Capital”, in which he registered a sensational first-round knockout of Antonio Castillo Jr. (1-1), by Xfinity Sentrum in Hartford.

 

 

 

Collier will step-up in competition, fighting in to his first scheduled six-round bout Oct, 20, against undefeated Springfield, MA welterweight Derrick Whitley, Jr. (4-0, 0 Uitklophoue), the son and uncle of well-known retired New England fighters.

 

 

 

“I feel the same as I did in my pro debut, maybe less pressure, but I’m more familiar with the guy I’m fighting October 20ste,” Collier gesê. “I fought and beat his cousin and brother in the amateurs. I feel like he’s out for revenge for them.

 

 

 

“I’m motivated to be fighting at Foxwoods. I feel like that’s fighting under the big lights, where I fought once as an amateur. I signed my contract the first day, I’ve been training hard in the gym every day. My pro debut was against a 1-0 ou, my second is against another undefeated fighter. I believe in my skills. I want to separate myself to show people that I am special.”

 

 

 

The 21-year-Collier has dedicated his boxing career to his uncle and father. His uncle was murdered three years ago, outside of a venue in which Sharad was boxing and his father has been in and out of prison. Collier grootgeword in moeilikste deel van (Suid) Hartford, spandeer tyd in 'n aanhouding sentrum en, met tye, geleef in en uit pleegsorg.

 

 

 

“It was my idea to move up now to six rounds,” Collier noted. “I’m familiar with my opponent. I’m not sleeping on this kid but, if I don’t get him out early, it will just mean there are more rounds for me to beat him up.”

 

 

 

“We’re excited,” Collier’s promoter Tony White bygevoeg. “In sy pro debuut, he was up against a 1-0 opponent, and now he’s stepping up to fight a 4-0 opponent in his first six-round fight. That’s why they call him’ The Special One.'”

 

 

 

Hier is wat 'Spesiale’ staan ​​vir: S = speed, P = power, E = enthusiasm, C = charisma, I = intelligence, A = athleticism, L = looks.

“Die Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera slaan die boekies met sy afrigter Sean Fitzgerald

 

WORCESTER, Mass. (Julie 31, 2018) – 'N dosyn jaar nadat hy gevang sy derde wêreldtitel in twee verskillende gewig klasse, sewe sedert sy laaste stryd, “Die Gallo” Jose Rivera keer terug na die ring Augustus 17 tot wesensverdienste “Tuiskoms”, aangebied deur graniet Chin Promotions (GCP) in samewerking met Rivera Promotions Vermaak (RPE), by Die Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

Die 45-jarige Rivera (41-6-1, 24 Uitklophoue) het reeds meer as verlore 30 pond, nou binne vier pond van sy gekontrakteerde gewig, aangesien hy begin oefen het vroeër vanjaar. Hy sal die kop van teen Ruben “Hedendaagse Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 Uitklophoue) in die agt-ronde hoofren.

 

 

 

In 1997, Rivera gevang die Internasionale Boks Organisasie (IBO) Wêreld welterweight titel, stop Gilberto Flores in die tweede ronde. Ses jaar later, Hy reis na Duitsland op onoorwonne te neem, tuisdorp gunsteling Michel Trabant (38-0) vir die vakante World Boxing Association (WBA) Wêreld Welterweight Championship, waarin Rivera het 'n 12-ronde besluit en die gordel.

 

 

 

In die voorkant van byna 10,000 tuisdorp waaiers in Worcester, Rivera beperk sy boks loopbaan deur te wen 'n 12-ronde eenparige besluit in 2006 oor die verdedigende kampioen, Alejandro Garcia(25-1) vir die WBA Wêreld super welterweight titel.

 

 

 

“Die idee om terug te keer na die ring begin met my seun. A.J., en ek praat jaag geskiedenis,” Rivera verduidelik. “Ons is nie in staat om nou saam te stel wat (A.J. gebore met spina bifida en hy was nie in staat om mediese klaring te beveilig in die tyd vir die Augustus. 17ste Wys.), maar ter wille van my harde werk die afgelope ses maande, Ek het gevoel dat dit net is pas om voort te gaan met my stryd.

 

 

 

“Graniet Chin Promotions het baie instrumenteel om seker te maak dat hierdie show saam in die mees professionele wyse moontlik gestel word. Ek sal nie dink ons ​​promosie maatskappy (Jos en A.J. eie en bedryf RPE Promotions Vermaak) sou in staat wees om dit af te trek gewees. Al die onderhandelinge gedoen moes word en my opleiding die enigste manier wat ek weet hoe, 'n kampioenskap vlak, sou te veel vir ons om te hanteer gewees het.”

 

 

 

Graniet Chin Promotions’ medepromotor Chuck Shearns bygevoeg, “Wanneer Jose en ek begin praat oor sy ring terug, Ek was die laaste persoon om te dink hy mal was. Ons was vriende tydens sy kampioenskap dae en ek weet hoe ongelooflik toegewyd en gedissiplineerd Jose is. Ek veg teen 49 jaar oud, nie om myself te vergelyk met die vlak Jose het op al, maar ek weet dat dit gedoen kan word. Wat almal moet weet is hoe goed Jose tydens sy dertigs en in sy veertigerjare sorg van homself geneem het. Het ek ooit dink dat Chris (Traietti, GCP medepromotor) en ek sou wees mede-bevordering van Jose se terugkeer? Moenie, maar ek is gelukkig om betrokke te wees en ek sal hom ondersteun so ver as hy wil om dit te neem. Hy is die opleiding van soos hy 25 en Jose se plan om 'n paar mense verras.”

 

 

 

Tydens Rivera se titel leisels, In teenstelling met ander wêreldkampioene, Hy het ook 'n voltydse werk as 'n hof beampte in die Massachusetts verhoorhof, 'n posisie in Worcester wat hy steeds beklee 17 jaar later. Tussen werk en opleiding, never mind sy gesinsverantwoordelikhede, Jose een of ander manier daarin slaag om alles te balanseer in sy uiters besige lewe.

 

 

 

“Kom ons sê maar dit maak vir 'n besige skedule,” Rivera opgemerk. “Ek is verbind tot die versorging van my familie en sal doen wat dit neem. Ek loop gewoonlik voor werk en op te lei na werk. Begin vroeg en afwerking laat maak vir besige dae, maar die werk moet gedoen word. Nou, Ek is in die middel van die moeilikste tydperk van opleiding. Die week van die stryd is nie meer omtrent voorbereiding geestelik en maak gewig. Daar is niks wat jy kan die week doen van die stryd om jou te help in 'n beter vorm.”

 

 

 

Rivera is onder geen illusies dat sy terugkeer sal lei tot nog 'n groot wêreld titel. Die plan is dat hy nog twee gevegte om 'n totaal van bereik het 50 as 'n pro, maar hy neem dinge een geveg op 'n slag, en hy hoop steeds sy volgende geveg, tentatief na verwagting vir later vanjaar, sal wees op dieselfde kaart as pro debuut sy seun se.

 

 

 

Rivera laaste geveg in 2011, neem 'n agt-ronde besluit oor Paul Mpendo, by Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. Die stryd getoets Galvan, sy Augustus. 17ste opponent uit Indiana, geveg ander wêreldkampioene, Insluitend Zab Juda, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., Jorge Paez en Paul Spadafora.

“Opleiding vir hierdie stryd het meer geestelike as enigiets anders gewees. Ek is in staat om sy beste spelpeil te bereik by gewees 45 opleiding soos ek gedoen het in my eerste. Die belangrikste ding is dat, saam met my afrigter Sean Fitzgerald, Ek het al gefokus op om seker te maak my tydsberekening raak beter, aangesien dit was sewe jaar sedert ek laas geveg.

 

 

 

“En, natuurlik, dit is altyd 'n wonderlike gevoel om te boks in die voorkant van my tuisdorp fans. Hul ondersteuning is altyd waardeer.”

World champion’s return & son’s pro debut

(L-R) Edwin Rosado, Josh Orta, Eslih Owusu, Kendrick Ball, Jr., Jimmy Burchfield, Khiary Gray, Jose Antonio Rivera, A.J. Rivera, Chuck Shearns, Jose Angel Ortiz and Wilfredo Pagan

WORCESTER, Mass. (Julie 19, 2018) – Graniet Chin Promotions (GCP) and Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE) hosted a press conference yesterday at The Ballot Box in Worcester, Massachusetts, to make a major announcement, as well as introduce local fighters on the August 17stepro boxing card at The Palladium in Worcester.

 

 

 

Drie-time, twee-afdeling wêreldkampioen “Die Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera (41-6-1, 24 Uitklophoue) is making his return in the “Making History” hoofren, in large part because he wanted to fight on the same card as his son, A.J. Rivera, who was to become the first pro boxer who was born with Spina Bifida. A.J., who is a rising matchmaker in New England, was unable to get medically cleared in time and he will not be fighting Aug. 17.

 

 

 

The event has been renamed, “Tuiskoms”, because six of the competing fighters, including Jose Antonio Rivera, live in Worcester.

 

 

 

“Ongelukkig,” announced promoter Chuck Shearns, who co-promotes Granite Chin Promotions with Chris Traietti, “A.J. isn’t fighting on this show because he couldn’t get medically cleared in time.”

 

 

 

“I trained hard and was within five or six pounds of my contract weight,” a disappointed A.J. Rivera verduidelik. “I passed all of the medical tests except for the CATSCAN. I fought the doctor a little and said I wanted a second opinion. Those results won’t be in time, so I can’t fight on this card.”

 

 

 

“The reason I’m coming back was to make history with my son,” Jose Antonio Rivera added. “We had talked about it a long time but, ongelukkig, it wasn’t meant to be for A.J. for this card. He’s already part of history already as the only fighter born with Spina Bifida who fought as an amateur. I feel bad, but everything happens for a reason and as a father, my son’s safety always comes first. He will continue to be an important part of our team to make our company a success. People are thrown curveballs in life like this and we’ve regrouped to turn this into a positive. We’re still fighting for the cause (Spina Bifida).”

 

 

 

Nou 45 jaar oud, Rivera has already lost more than 30 pond, and he is within eight of his contracted weight for his eight-round fight against Ruben “Hedendaagse Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 Uitklophoue).

Twee gevegte later, in front of nearly 10,000 tuisdorp waaiers in Worcester, Rivera won a 12-round unanimous decision in 2006 oor die verdedigende kampioen, Alejandro Garcia (25-1) vir die WBA Wêreld super welterweight titel.

 

 

 

Middelgewigtitel Kendrick Ball, Jr. (9-1-2, 6 Uitklophoue) en junior middelgewigtitel Khiary Gray (15-4, 11 Uitklophoue), beide bevorder deur CES Boxing, will be making their pro debuts at home in Worcester. Ball faces an opponent to be determined in the six-round co-featured event, terwyl Grey (15-4, 11 Uitklophoue) voldoen aan Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-33, 4 Uitklophoue), van Brockton, MA, also in a six rounder.

 

 

 

Undefeated light heavyweight prospect Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera (8-0, 7 Uitklophoue), veg uit Hartford, CT, is slated to fight in a six-round bout vs. TBA, as well as his stable mate, two-time New England Golden Gloves champion “Die uitverkore Een” Sharad Collier (1-0, 1 KO), who takes on his Mexican opponent, Emmanuel “Pollo” Valadez (5-4, 4 Uitklophoue), in 'n vier-wedstryd.

 

 

 

Ook geskeduleer om te veg op die undercard in vier-ronde aanvalle is Springfield, MA welterweight Jose Angel “KO” Ortiz Jose Angel “KO” Ortiz (4-13-1, 1 KO) vs. Seth Basler (0-8) en pro-debut veergewig Josua Orta vs. Worcester se Edwin Rosado (1-7-1, 1 KO), South brug, MA welterweight Wilfredo “die Sucaro” heidense (4-0, 2 Uitklophoue) vs. TBA, Worcester lightweight Francisco Irizarry (4-0, 2 Uitklophoue) vs. TBA, Worcester’s pro-debuting lightweight Eslih Owusu.vs. Mexikaanse Engelberto “Guarura” Valenzuela (11-14 (3 Uitklophoue).

PERSCONFERENTIE KWOTASIES

 

Joe Antonio Rivera: “I want to thank everybody for coming. Tomorrow is four weeks to the weigh in. It’s an important date because fighting is easy, making weight isn’t. I want to thank Granite Chin Promotions

 

 

 

“Four Worcester fighters (Ball, Gray, Irizarry and Owusu) on this card have never fought here. It’s huge having Kendrick and Khiary on this card and I’d like to thank CES Boxing for allowing them to fight here. I’m proud of Kendrick and Khiary and excited to have them fighting on this show. Chuck and Granite Chin are running this show, I’m only focused on my opponent.

 

 

 

“I’m excited to have an opponent who is coming to fight. He’s my third opponent, but that’s part of boxing. Ek is hard aan die oefen, passed my medicals, and it’s like I’m hungry again. I haven’t fought in years, but I’ve taken good care of my body. I didn’t visualize doing this at 45. I’ve also heard that, after August 17ste, there’s a possibility of a title for me by the end of this year.”

 

Chuck Shearns (GCP medepromotor): “I’m honored to be involved in this show. Jose and I have been friends for years. Months ago, this all started with a text conversation (Chuck, Jose and A.J.). A week later, it started getting serious, and then we had Jose and A.J. fighting on this card. Ongelukkig, A.J. isn’t fighting on this card, but the show will go on.”

 

Jimmy Burchfield (CES promoter): “What’s important is that Jose Antonio Rivera is fighting on this card and that’s why I’m allowing ‘Pepper’ (Ball) and Khiary to fight on this card. I’ve had a good relationship with Chuck and I’ve known Jose and A.J., who worked for me, for a long time. Nothing was happening in Worcester boxing for years, until Jose and A.J. started promoting here, but Worcester has always been a good fight town. All the fighters here will be proud of your victory. This is beautiful! They’ve been around him and know what he’s accomplished in life. Jose has never abused his body, he’s taken good care of himself.

 

 

 

“We (CES Boxing) had an event scheduled August 17ste at Twin River (Lincoln, RI), but we moved from that date, and now everything is focused August 17ste on Worcester. How could I not have my Worcester fighters on Jose Rivera’s comeback card? ‘Pepper’ and Khiary really wanted to fight on this card. These kids (fighters seated at head table) look up to Jose for what he’s done and in life and his comeback is a really big story. I know what ‘Pepper” and Khiary are going to do and I know what Jose is going to do because he’s a veteran. I believe this will be a sell out!”

 

Kendrick Ball, Jr.: “I want to thank my promoter, Jimmy Burchfield, for giving me the okay to fight on this card. I also want to thank Granite Chin Promotions and Rivera Promotions Entertainment. I’ve waited for this a long time. This fight will give me a chance to redeem myself and show why I’m the next great middleweight to come out of Worcester. I’m ready to get it on.”

 

Khiary Gray: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions Entertainment, CES Boxing and Granite Chin Promotions for giving me a chance to fight at home for the first time. This is a rematch for me. I stopped him in the first round, but there was some controversy. I know he’s coming to fight.”

 

Eslih Owusi: “I just graduated from high school and I wasn’t going to turn pro until after that. Fighting as a pro will be much more exciting than in the amateurs.”

 

Jose Angel Ortiz: “Ek is baie opgewonde. I haven’t fought in two years. I was supposed to return before, but things didn’t work out. I never left boxing because I’m in the gym all the time working out or training other fighters. Jose and I are both in our forties. We’re going to show everybody that we can still fight.”

 

Edwin Rosado: “I will try and put on the best show I can.”

 

Josua Orta: “I’m very happy about my first pro fight. I’ve dreamed of this day. Everybody is going to see an exciting card. I love this sport and always train hard.”

Augustus 17 by Die Palladium in Worcester, MA
(L-R): A.J. en Jose Antonio Rivera

 

WORCESTER, Mass. (Junie 20, 2018) — This past Father’s Day was considerably different for three-time, twee-afdeling wêreldkampioen “Die Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera and his pro-debuting son, A.J. Rivera, because they will be “Making History,” presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment and Granite Chin Promotions, Augustus 17 at The Palladium.

 

 

 

Rivera and his son, onderskeidelik, are the promoter and matchmaker for Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which will co-promote “Making History” with Granite Chin Promotions (GCP).

 

 

 

“We are excited to be teaming up with GCP for this historic boxing event,” Jose commented. “We have had the pleasure of working with Chris (Traietti) and Chuck (Shearns) in the past. We are grateful that they are able to work with us again to make sure we put together a great boxing event.”

 

 

 

The Riveras will become the first world-champion father-son combination to fight on a pro show that is promoted by their company. More significantly, A.J. will become the first pro boxer to be born with Spina Bifida.

 

 

 

Nou 45 jaar oud, Rivera is making his second comeback, but this time it’s solely to fight on the same card as his son. As gevolg van 'n verskeidenheid van redes, “Die Gallo” retired from the ring in 2008, but he came back in 2011 for two fights, both victories, before hanging up his gloves again.

 

 

 

In 1997, Rivera gevang die Internasionale Boks Organisasie (IBO) Wêreld welterweight titel, stop Gilberto Flores in die tweede ronde. Ses jaar later, Hy reis na Duitsland op onoorwonne te neem, tuisdorp gunsteling Michel Trabant (38-0) vir die vakante World Boxing Association (WBA) Wêreld Welterweight Championship, waarin Rivera het 'n 12-ronde besluit en die gordel.

 

 

 

Twee gevegte later, in front of nearly 10,000 tuisdorp waaiers in Worcester, Rivera won a 12-round unanimous decision over defending champion Alejandro Garcia (25-1) vir die WBA Wêreld super welterweight titel.

 

 

 

“I am boxing at 45 years old because of this great opportunity that has arisen for my son and I,” Jose explained. “Boxing on the same card with my son is going to be exciting and, even more so, because we will be a part of history! I am fortunate to be healthy, fisies, and I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for not having any brain issues from my prior years of boxing. I’ve lost 20 pond, so far, and need to lose 12 more to make the 160-pound weight class.

 

 

 

“I am not sure how the night of the fight is going to go. I play it in my head over and over about how I would like it to go, maar in die einde, I’m confident we will both be ready for tough fights because of the hard work we’re both putting in at the gym.

 

 

 

“Fan response has been good, positive and supportive of what we both are doing and attempting to accomplish. To look back at the day I was told my son was going to be born with Spina Bifida, preparing myself mentally for the worse, en nou 25 years later here we are close to fulfilling his childhood dream. It’s amazing! I feel blessed to share this moment with my son. I am also happy that we can do this in front of our family, vriende & fans in our City of Worcester, where my son was born, and I was raised since I moved there when I was 16.”

 

 

 

op Augustus. 17, Rivera will face battle-tested middleweight Ryan “Dangerous” Davis (24-19, 9 Uitklophoue), fighting out of East Saint Louis, Illinois, in die agt-ronde hoofren. Davis has been in with the iron, including six-time, twee afdeling wêreldkampioen Zab Juda, former International Boxing Federation (IBF) wêreldkampioen Ishe Smith, two-time world title challenger and 2004 US Olympian Vances Martirosyan, wêreld titel uitdager Jonathan Reid, reigning International Boxing Association (IBA) world junior middleweight champion Mark DeLuca, plus other notables such as Rob Brant, Mikael Zewski, Carlos Bojorquez en Dominik Britsch.

 

 

 

 

Twenty-five-year-old A.J. will fight an opponent to be determined in a four-round welterweight match. He is a graduate of Johnson & Wales with a major in sports management, who has quickly become one of the most respected matchmakers in New England.

 

 

 

A.J. grew-up in a gym, watching his father train, and he also fought as an amateur boxer. “I’ve always wanted to fight as a pro and what better way than to make my pro debut on the same card headlined by my pops,” Rivera gesê. “This is a one and done, I’m not going to box as a career and, hopefully I will leave the ring on August 17ste and retire undefeated. I plan to make matchmaking a career. I can stay in the sport I’ve always loved and matchmake for our company and for other promoters.

 

 

 

“I was born with Spina Bifida. A layer of skin covered a hole in my back, preventing water from getting in, which would have damaged my system and left me paralyzed, unable to speak and with a shunt in my head to drain fluid. The doctors told my parents that, if I survived, I’d only live to be 19, in a wheelchair and a little autistic. I had surgery the next day and my pops kept hope. As I got older, I played basketball, sokker, baseball and boxed. I was inactive for seven years when I went away to school and started matchmaking.”

 

 

 

In addition to sacrificing to make weight, instead of having a Father’s Day cookout, he watched what he ate and, natuurlik, workout with his father in the gym to prepare for his pro debut.

 

 

 

 

“I wasn’t able to celebrate my 25ste anniversary on June 2 óf,” A.J. bygevoeg. “I plan to celebrate my birthday and Father’s Day when I step out of the ring on August 17ste. Dan, I’ll go back to focusing on my craft and become a full-time matchmaker.”

 

 

 

Red-hot Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera (8-0, 7 Uitklophoue), veg uit Hartford, CT, will be showcased in the eight-round co-featured event. Rivera is the reigning UBF All Americans light heavyweight and ABF International cruiserweight champion.

“Fight Night in The Capital” Amptelike uitslae

Skryf 'n opmerking
Toot, Toot!
Richard “Popeye” Rivera smokes Jaime Solorio in 8th round

HARTFORD, Conn. (Junie 17, 2018) – Rising Hartford folk hero Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera kept his pro record perfect (8-0) ongeskonde, knocking out his tough opponent, Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (12-4-2, 9 Uitklophoue), in the eighth round to capture the vacant ABF Continental cruiserweight title, gisteraand (Saterdag) in the main event on the “Veg Night at the Capital” pro boxing card, by Xfinity Sentrum in Hartford.

 

 

 

The reigning UBF All Americas light heavyweight champion, Rivera (8-0, 7 Uitklophoue) is arguably the hardest pound-for-pound puncher in New England, if not the entire Northeast. After breaking his last opponent’s ankle with the force of his power, the incredibly popular Hartford fighter

 

 

 

Boxing trainer Tony White and his Hartford Boxing Center gym partner, Michael Tran, recently teamed with Rivera to form Hartford Boxing Promotions, which was promoting its first pro boxing event, “Fight Night at The Capital.”

 

 

 

“I’m excited to have promoted our first show here in Hartford and I hope other promoters will follow,” Blanco commented. “I’m happy for all of the fighters. This was our first but not last show. We’re bringing boxing back to Hartford.

 

 

 

“I’m also excited about Sharrad’s pro debut (Collier), who is like a son to me, and Richie, my brother and partner. Everything I do is for them, that’s who I work for them.”

 

 

 

The durable Solorio had only been knocked out once in 17 pro fights going into the ring against Rivera, who has knock out six of his seven victims.

 

 

 

The first was a feeling-out round, but Rivera picked up the pace in the second, landing several hard shots on his game Mexican opponent. The highly entertaining Rivera cruised through the third through fifth, picking his spots better, but it was bombs away in the sixth as Rivera landed a right that sent Solorio to the deck. Solorio was penalized a point in the sixth for unsportsmanlike conduct.

 

 

 

 

In the seventh round, Solorio appeared to be fighting to survive, frequently holding and clinching, but he came forward in spurts as Rivera started loading up for a knockout that finally came in the eighth round. Rivera had never fought more than four rounds, but he was determined to ward off his opponent’s wrestling, landing a right-left-right uppercut combination to close the show with only 30 seconds left in the contest.

 

 

 

“I want to thank everybody for being here and bringing our community together in one house,” Rivera gesê. “Happy Father’s Day. I dedicated this fight to my father who I love so much. I told everybody that he was going down in three, but Solorio was tough. I took him in deep water and I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach…..toot, toot!”

 

 

 

In an intra-Connecticut clash of junior welterweights, Danbury’s undefeated Omar “The Beast” Bordoy, Jr. (6-0, 2 Uitklophoue) uitgeslaan Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-6-1), van Hartford, with only one second left in the sixth and final round of co-featured event.

 

 

 

Bordoy was hampered by a cut over his right eye, suffered during the second round from an unintentional headbutt, who was fighting in his first scheduled six-rounder. He pivoted and threw a short, straight right that rocked Picot, dropping him forward on the mat as referee Shada Murdaugh immediately waved off the count, calling the doctor into the ring.

 

 

 

A star was born in a professional debut as two-time New England Golden Gloves champion “Die spesiale een” Sharad Collier (1-0, 1 KO, fighting at home in Hartford, displayed his vast arsenal of skills, klop uit Antonio Castillo, Jr. (1-1) in die eerste ronde.

 

 

 

The 21-year-old Collier showed the poise of a veteran and surprising power, especially considering he fought two full divisions higher than his natural weight class, due to his opponent weighing in as a junior middleweight. Collier decked Castillo early and finished him off with a barrage of unanswered punches until referee Danny Sciavone gestaak die aksie.

 

 

 

“Everything went the way I had planned,” Collier said after the bout. “Before the fight, I knew I was going to win, because I felt so good. People were asking me before the fight how I was feeling and, to be honest, I was a lot more nervous as an amateur.”

 

 

 

New Haven, CT liggewig JANUEL Rosa (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an explosive pro debut, blasting an overwhelmed Roger Blankenship (1-3) around the ring until the referee Murdaugh stopped the action at the 49-second mark of the opening round. The 21-year-old Rosa dedicated the fight to his cousin, die laat Luis “KO King” Rosa (23-1, 11 Uitklophoue), who tragically died last January in a car accident at the age of 26.

 

 

 

New Britain, CT veergewig Nathan Martinez (1-0) had another very impressive pro debut, pitching a complete shutout (40-35) op al drie beoordelaars’ scorecards against Henry Garcia (0-2), despite it being an action-packed bout from start to finish. Martinez used lethal body shots, dropping Garcia with a left hook to the liver, and crisp combinations.
