Former national amateur champion Bobby Harris III breaking out of shadow cast by his father with a little help from his friends

Leave a comment
Octubre 28 a Worcester, Massachusetts
(L-R) – davant: Bobby Harris III holding Bobby Harris IV and A.J. Rivera; posterior: Bobby Harris and Jose Antonio Rivera
WORCESTER, Missa. (Octubre 2, 2017) – Local prospect Bobby “BH3” Harris III is ready to breakout of the shadows cast by his father, retired pro boxer Bobby Harris, començament Dissabte nit, Octubre 28, in the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “Futur de Nova Anglaterra”, en el DCU Center (Sala d'exposicions) a Worcester, Massachusetts.
“El futur de Nova Anglaterra 4” és presentat per Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), que és propietat i gestionat per tres vegades jubilats, dues divisions campió del món José Antonio Rivera i el seu fill, Anthone (A. J.) Rivera.
“BH3” and A.J. grew-up together in gyms as sons of pro fighters. They had dreams of making it in boxing, which has come to fruition with “BH3” el prospecte en ascens, A. J. the president and matchmaker for RPE. A vegades, encara que, what’s transpired may be somewhat surreal for both young men.
“I grew up in boxing,” Bobby Harris III explained. “My father always brought me to the gym and his fights. My uncle, Adam Harris, was also a pro boxer. My father and Jose were super close, me and A.J. grew-up as brothers. The same blood couldn’t make us any closer. It’s me and AJ. My first amateur fight was when I was 13. A. J. used to run and workout with me. I’d go to his house after school and sleep over on weekends. We planned our lives together in boxing; my job is to fight and A.J. promotes and makes matches.”
“I remember growing up with Bobby as my brother,” A. J. addicional. “We did everything together: ran, entrenat, sparred and pushed each other to our greatest limits. He’s grown so much over the years. His natural ability, mixed with years of experience, and Bobby growing into a man will surely lead to him being world champion one day. I’m truly proud and excited to see our childhood plan unfold.”
“BH3” only had about 40 amateur matches but the large majority were at the national level. He is a two-time national amateur champion, including a gold-medal performance in the USA National Championships, and as a member of Team USA, he was rated No. 1 als EUA, i n. 2 en el món.
The 21-year-old decided to turn pro earlier this year, rather than wait for a shot at the Olympics, after discussing his options with his father, as well as Jose and A.J. Rivera, plus his head trainer, Rocky Gonzalez. Worcester boxers such as Jermaine Ortiz i Irvin González turning pro, along with the arrival of now 8-month-old Bobby Harris IV, were key factors in his decision to become a professional boxer. “I didn’t want to waste another year,” Bobby admitted. “Turning pro now will get me into rankings earlier. The time was right”
Bobby’s father was a 4-time national amateur champion as a super heavyweight who compiled a 20-2-1 (13 KOs) pro record between 1993 i 1999. Avui, he is an important member of his son’s corner, but he did leave a shadow cast over his son, especially across New England.
“People will always compare me with my dad, en el ring, però, as good as he was, it’s a great honor to be his son,” Bobby Harris III remarked. “It’s been nothing but good for me. He trained with fighters like (Oscar) De la Hoya, (Shane) Mosley, (Evander) Holyfield and so many other great fighters. We are different, encara que. and now I’m establishing my own identity. The sport has changed so much since he fought. Back then it was mostly two guys beating each other up, not as much of a performance. I like to put on a good performance and have people say, ‘He’s cool, and when does he fight again. My dad has told me how different boxing is today compared to when he fought. Ara, marketing is so important for fighters, and a lot of exposure is through social media.
“My father was a heavyweight, I’m going to go down to 154 (mitjà júnior. He is so much bigger, taller and heavier than I am, so fighting in different weight classes separates us. I’m a different style fighter, massa. I’m more active than him. So that people don’t confuse us when talking, I came up with ‘BH3’ as my persona. We are different in and out of the ring.”
“I have known Little Bobby (as I call him) since he was born,” Jose Rivera noted. “He calls me, Tio (uncle) Jose, and I love him like a member of my family. I am happy and proud to see little Bobby go after his dreams and goals his way and on his terms. I wouldn’t want it any other way. My son, A. J., and I are happy that we can use our RPE company to be able to help little Bobby pursue his dreams and goals. Worcester – and soon enough the rest of the world – will know it’s BH3 Time!”
“BH3” turned pro this past Juny 10, in his Worcester hometown, taking a four-round unanimous decision (40-36 X 3) over an awkward opponent, Rodrigo Almeida, who seemed more interested in survival, often frustrating “BH3” with his constant holding.
“I’m happy with the way that fight went because I learned so much,” Bobby commented. “I was so excited with all the hype about my pro debut, and I was into the crowd trying for the knockout. I learned that I need to take my time, divertir-se, throw combinations and that the knockout will come. Dad liked to jab, I like to hit and run like ‘Sucre’ Rayo (Leonard). My first pro fight wasn’t really me. I’m the matador but I can fight like a bull if the opportunity comes to me. I can change things around but I forgot to have fun in my pro debut.”
“BH3” plans to breakout from his father’s shadow in his Oct. 28º fight against New Yorker Troy Omer “KO Artist” artista (3-7-1, 2 KOs), contested at a 164-pound catchweight, en un combat de quatre rondes.
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion Vinnie “Malson americà” història (16-1-1, 15 KOs), fighting out of Pembroke (Massachusetts), will face an opponent to be determined in the eight-round main event.
Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Atacat” Gonzaga will make his pro boxing debut in a four-round match against Washington D.C. de pes pesat Alando Pugh (1-10-1, 1 KO).

Campió dels Guants d'Or Antoni Laureano (4-0, 2 KOs), a promising welterweight from East Hartford (Connecticut), who faces Clifton Rashad Thames (3-2-1), of Oklahoma City, en un partit de sis assalts.

“El futur de Nova Anglaterra 3” és presentat per Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), que és propietat i gestionat per tres vegades jubilats, dues divisions campió del món José Antonio Rivera i el seu fill, Anthone (A. J.) Rivera.
El jove González, de 21 anys (6-0, 6 KOs) adquireix Raul López (10-2-1, 5 KOs), de Bronx (Nova York), en un esdeveniment principal de vuit rondes per a la vacant Federació Universal de Boxa (UBF) Campionat tot americà de pes súper ploma.
La boxa professional torna al DCU Center per primera vegada a 11 any, irònicament, quan el promotor José Antonio Rivera va derrotar Alejandro Garcia, per decisió unànime de 12 rondes, Per a l’Associació Mundial de Boxa (AMB) Títol mundial de pes superwelter.
“Estic emocionat de veure florir la carrera de boxa d'Irvin,” va remarcar el promotor José Rivera. “Té totes les eines per convertir-se en campió del món. Lluitar pel campionat de la UBF serà el primer de molts i m'alegro que puguem donar-li aquesta oportunitat. Veig coses grans per a Irvin i espero que els fans surtin Dissabte nit, Juny 10º, per donar suport a ell i als altres boxejadors locals.”.
“Aquesta és una gran oportunitat per a mi,” González va dir. “Tinc la sort de lluitar a Worcester pel meu primer títol. No és un gran títol, però és com fer petits passos cap a un títol mundial. Des que vaig començar a boxejar als Boys & Girls club, Sempre he volgut ser com en José, tres vegades campió del món. Ara, és el meu torn, i torno a lluitar a la meva ciutat.”
González té un registre professional perfecte: sis drets, sis victòries per nocaut. No obstant això, només ha lluitat un gran total de vuit rondes, i juny 10º està en un partit programat a vuit jornades. Al jove ben parlat no li preocupa el pas a les rondes i l'oposició.
“M'han preguntat sobre això molts mitjans, entrenadors i altres lluitadors,” Va explicar. “Sempre m'he entrenat com si fos per a una lluita pel títol mundial, 12 rondes, així que no em preocupa entrar en aigües profundes. Estic en una forma magnífica, tres setmanes abans de la baralla, i fins i tot en els aficionats sempre m'he anat fent més fort a mesura que avançava la lluita. En sparring, Em faig més fort, així que anar vuit no és un problema per a mi.
“Realment no sé gaire del meu oponent. Va guanyar alguns títols nacionals però no ha lluitat massa sovint. Veurem què porta al ring i després ajustaré. Sé que sóc més alt.”
González va aprendre molt quan va ser un company d'esparg Guillermo Rigondeaux a Florida que havia de ser un camp d'entrenament de sis setmanes que va acabar després de tres setmanes a causa de Rigondeaux’ la lluita es cancel·la.
“Vaig aprendre molt sobre els diferents mètodes d'entrenament que faig servir ara,” Irvin va continuar. “Les seves tècniques són fenomenals. Vaig estar al voltant d'un campió del món, dos vegades medallista d'or olímpic i vaig veure la seva ètica de treball. Després de tot el que ha aconseguit, encara té una gran ètica de treball, i vaig aprendre d'ell que un lluitador necessita seguir treballant com ho fa fins que tot s'acabi. No tot és qüestió de diners, és divertir-se cada dia, fent el que ens agrada.”
Excampiones del món de pes pesat femení Sonia “L'Erudit” Lamonakis (10-2-2, 1 KO), el professor de la ciutat de Nova York que vivia a Turners Falls (Massachusetts), i Laura “Senyora Ram” Ramsey (10-7, 5 KOs) batalla pel títol vacant de pes pesat mundial de la UBF a l'esdeveniment co-protagonitzat de vuit rondes.

OFFICIAL RESULTS FROM WORCESTER
(L) – Irvin González
WORCESTER, Missa. (Gener 20, 2017) – Boxing returned to Worcester last night (Dijous) for the first time in more than five years to the delight of a capacity crowd of 2,100 passionate fans at the Palladium.
The inaugural event of the “Futur de Nova Anglaterra” sèrie, presentat per Rivera Promocions Entreteniment, featured 10 baralles plenes d'acció, highlighted by rising Worcester featherweight prospect Irvin González (5-0, 5 KOs).
“The support we received from the sold out crowd was exciting for our first show,” dit promotor José Antonio Rivera, the former 3-time, 2-campió del món de la divisió. “We working on our second show in March, per descomptat, right here in Worcester.”
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, Israel “Tigre” Ramos (9-15, 3 KOs), 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.”
Gonzalez takes off Diumenge o report to undefeated Guillermo Rigondeaux’ training camp in Miami, where he’ll work with the reigning WBA super bantamweight world champion and 2-time Olympic gold medalist.
El invicte Rayo “bazuca” Gracewski (5-0, 3 KOs), Lluita fora de Springfield (Massachusetts), was on a search-and-destroy mission in the co-feature against Worcester super middleweight Ralph Johnson (2-10, 1 KO), who was dropped three times before referee Kevin Hope va aturar la lluita.
pro-debutant de Hartford Richard “Popeye el mariner” Rivera was good to the finish, albeit only two rounds, in a fight contested at a 185-pound catchweight against Philadelphian Davonte Hopkins (0-3). Rivera, qui era un 2016 Rocky Marciano Tournament winner, punished Hopkins, finally dropping him in the second round, after which his corner threw in the towel.
In an evenly matched junior featherweight bout, favorit local Ranse Andino‘s pro debut resulted in a hard earned victory, by way of a four-round unanimous decision, over Lowell’s (Massachusetts) abans invictes Jonathan Pérez (2-1-1, 2 KOs)
Unbeaten Haitian heavyweight Jean Pierre “Kid Creole” Augstin (7-0-1, 3 KOs) pounded game Mexican foe Jose Humberto “Olympico” Corral (19-22, 12 KOs) from the opening bell en route to a shutout six-round unanimous decision.
East Hartford prospect Antoni Laureano (2-0, 1 KO), 1 2016 campió dels Guants d'Or de Nova Anglaterra, finished off winless welterweight Rafael Francis (0-9) with a debilitating body shot early in the second round.
In his pro debut, popular Worcester heavyweight Felix Martinez, a local barber, spotted his opponent, 392-gossera Bobby Favors (0-4), gairebé 60 pounds but Favors was unable to continue after the first round.
Southbridge, Massachusetts Wilfredo “el Sucaro” pagà turned in a memorable pro debut, winning a four-round majority decision over Alexander Picot (1-2-1 (0 KOs), contested at a 145-pound catchweight.
The second-oldest pro fighter in Massachusetts history, 49-anys d'edat “Irlandès” Chuck Shearns (3-1, 2 KOs), of nearby Auburn, MA., ended his boxing career in style with an opening-round technical knockout victory over Philadelphia junior middleweight Shavonte Dixon (0-2).

Inaugural “Futur de Nova Anglaterra” series event in Worcester
WORCESTER, Missa. (Gener 11, 2017) – Fast rising featherweight prospect Irvin González (4-0, 4 KOs) will continue Worcester’s rich boxing tradition Dijousnit, Gener 19, headlining the inaugural “Futur de Nova Anglaterra” series event against Mexican invader Israel “Tigre” Rojas (9-14, 3 KOs), at the Worcester Palladium.

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 Medallista de bronze olímpic Leo Sawicki, and more recently, entre d'altres, pro and amateur standouts such as multiple national amateur champion Bobby Harris, Sean “The Irish Express” Sean Fitzgerald i Edwin Rodríguez.
Arguably the greatest Worcester fighter in the past 50 years is three-time, de dues divisions campió del món Jose Antonio “El Gall” Rivera, qui està promocionant “Futur de Nova Anglaterra” amb el seu fill, Anthone. “I have seen Irvin train and fight since he was in the Junior Olympics,” Rivera va dir. “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.”
González, 1 2015 campió dels Guants d'Or de Nova Anglaterra, 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. Estic emocionat. 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 al 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, com a professional, 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 González, where the youngster serves as a personal trainer.
In the six-round co-feature Springfield (Massachusetts) pes semipesado Reinaldo “bazuca” Graceski (4-0, 2 KOs) faces Worcester’s Ralph Johnson (2-9, 1 KO).

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

Leave a comment
PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA
RECORDATORI: The deadline to apply for a media credential is Jan. 12º

WORCESTER, Missa. (Gener 5, 2017) – Auburn (Massachusetts) mitjà júnior “Irlandès” Chuck Shearns will become the second-oldest professional fighter in Massachusetts boxing history dijous nit, Gener 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.
La presa de possessió “Futur de Nova Anglaterra” series event is being presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-temps, 2-campió del món de la divisió Jose Antonio “El Gall” Rivera – i el seu fill, Anthone “Ape” Rivera.
Rising junior lightweight prospect, 2015 campió dels Guants d'Or de Nova Anglaterra Irvin González (4-0, 4 KOs), will be fighting at home in the 6-round main event against Mexican invader Oscar Eduardo Quezada (2-1, 1 KO), while Springfield (Massachusetts) pes semipesado Reinaldo “bazuca” Graceski (4-0, 2 KOs) es troba amb Worcester Ralph Johnson (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, s'enfrontarà a Shavonte Dixon (0-1), de Filadèlfia, en un combat de quatre rondes. The state record, set in 2011 by then 53-year-old Joe Siciliano, is safe because Jan. 19º will definitely be Shearns’ última lluita.
“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 anys! 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 anys més tard he made his professional debut. “I grew up watching boxing with my father (Joan), who boxed in the Navy, and my grandfather (Joan),” Shearns explained. “My grandfather was a club fighter, de forma, 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.”
Per què, encara que, a l'edat de 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 Gener 19º because I was given this opportunity and decided to accept it but, honestament, I’m sure that this it! Maybe I just wanted a chance to go out with a win because I lost my last one? No ho sé. 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.”
Últimament, Shearns’ typical day has been, bé, in a word, unordinary, per dir el menys. 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 Jan. 19. “La meva dona (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?”

WORCESTER, Missa. (Desembre 29, 2016) — Entreteniment Rivera Promocions (RPE) held a press conference yesterday to formally announce its inaugural show, “Futur de Nova Anglaterra,” Thursday night, Gener 19, at the Worcester Palladium. It will mark the first professional boxing event in Worcester, located in Central Mass., en cinc anys.
Rivera Promotions Entertainment is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-temps, 2-campió del món de la divisió Jose Antonio “El Gall” Rivera – along with his son, Anthone “Ape” Rivera, whose collective goal is to bring boxing back to Worcester on a consistent basis, providing boxers a platform and fans a full entertainment experience.
“It’s all about the fighters,” RPE CEO Jose Antonio Rivera said. “I’m in a unique position as a promoter because of my boxing background. I hard it is for local fighters to get fights, which is why we have so many with less than six pro fights and five pro debuts fighters on this card. They are why we’re here today. I never had a press conference until I was much more established in my career. This is about them showcasing their skills.
“After my son graduated from Johnson Wales University with a degree in Sports Management, he told me he was ready to form Rivera Promotions Entertainment, as we had discussed, and promote shows. I lost a lot of money promoting a show in 2008, so I told him to put a plan together first and within a week he did. He had gotten his feet wet in the business as an intern for a boxing promoter. We went over the plan ad decided that we can do this. We’re not signing fighters, ara mateix, we’re helping them build their careers. We do a lot of hard work behind the scenes that the public doesn’t see; the fighters work in the gym. I’m really excited about January 19º. Irvin Gonzalez is a future world champion.”

“We appreciate the support being given to us and the fighters who give their blood, sweat and tears for you,” RPE president A.J. Rivera va afegir. “I got into the business side of boxing as an intern working for CES. In Worcester, tenim 11 active fighters, all on the rise, and to bring boxing back to Worcester is special, Teamwork makes dreams work. I also want to note that none of these fighters turned down a single opponent we offered.”
