Undefeated light heavyweight Richard “Морнар Попај” Rivera to Headline “Fight Night at the Capital”

Оставите коментар
Јун 16 at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, ЦТ

HARTFORD, Цонн. (Мај 15, 2018) – New England’s hottest, most popular and hardest hitter, рицхард “Морнар Попај” Ривера, will defend his Universal Boxing Federation (УБФ) All America light heavyweight title at home on Hartford Boxing Promotions’ inaugural event, “Fight Night at the Capital”, Јун 16тх at Xfinity Centre in Hartford, Конектикат.

 

 

Ривера (7-0, 6 КОс) has partnered with his trainer, Tony Blanco, and Hartford Boxing Center gym co-owner, Michael Tran, to form Hartford Boxing Promotions and bring world-class boxing back to Hartford.

 

 

Boxing’s rich roots in the Hartford market dates back nearly a full century, headlined by International Hall of Famers Willie “Will o’ the Wisp” Pep и Christopher “Battling” Battalino.

 

Other top-area boxers include world champion марлон “Магиц Ман” Starling, светску титулу Цхалленгерс Gaspar “El Indio” Ortega, и Израел “пре” Кардона, и 1996 USA Olympic Boxing Team captain Лоренс Глина-бег.

 

 

Rivera will take on Jaime “Zarco” Solorio (12-3-2, 9 КОс) in the eight-round main event versus an opponent to be determined.

 

 

“There’s a lot of pressure fighting at home because, наравно, I want a victory, but I also need to be impressive for me to be recognized,” Rivera said. “I’m all about boxing. My partners, Tony and Michael, take care of the business end of Hartford Boxing Promotions. I’m excited about fighting June 16тх and I expect a great turnout. A lot of people know who I am from fighting all over New England. Сада, I want to expand my horizons. I have a huge following from our gym and church, but I want to bring non-boxing fans to our show to make them boxing fans.

 

 

“There’s no such thing as an easy fight. It all starts with training, which makes fighting easier. I may get an early knockout, but I always train to go the distance. My opponent has fought on television a few times against some fighters with good records. I know that I am going to be in a fight. I’ll be ready for war!”

 

 

This past April in New Hampshire, Rivera hit his opponent, Randy Campbell, so hard with a powerful right, that the force broke Campbell’s ankle only seconds into the contest.

 

 

“Fighting is a way of life,” ривера објаснио. “All the training and fighting, it’s for the love of boxing, not money. Fighting never leaves a boxer.”

 

 

Rivera originally got his nickname because, when he was younger, his forearms were considerably larger than his biceps. Fighters in the gym jokingly teased Rivera about his enlarged forearms, calling him “Попај,” and the nickname has stuck. Сада, Rivera showcases his Popeye persona in full, which has added many females and children to his growing fanbase of hardcore boxing fans. Јун 16тхwill open a new chapter in the life of for the man who’s always good to the finish because he eats his spinach.

 

 

У сарадњи-феатуред догађај, undefeated Danbury, CT lightweight Омар “Беаст” Bordoy, Јр. (5-0, 1 КО) will be in his first scheduled six-rounder against. Александар “Ел Браво” Пико (2-5-1), fighting out of Hartford by way of Puerto Rico.

 

 

“The Special One,” Sharad Collier, fighting out of Hartford, is competing this week Omaha (СИ) at the National Golden Gloves Championships, before returning home to turn pro in a four-round Special Junior Welterweight Attraction versus an opponent to be determined.

 

 

Also fighting on the undercard, све у четири округла налетима, are Hartford featherweight Луис “Lobito” Ривера (4-3) вс. Phillip Davis (1-1-1), of Worcester, Мр; pro-debuting New Haven, CT lightweight Anuel Rosa вс.
