Pressemøde CITATER
Jose Rivera, RPE CEO: “I’m excited because a press conference means the fights are getting closer. We plan to build our promotional company this year. There is a lot of talent in New England and that’s why we have so many Connecticut fighters on this card. I want the fighters here to understand the importance of a press conference. They will gain valuable experience speaking in public and being interviewed by the media. One of the primary reasons we’re promoting is to give young fighters a platform to box and prepare them for their pro careers.”
A.J. Rivera, RPE President/Matchmaker: “The support we’ve received has been tremendous and we exceeded expectations in our first year. This is just the begining for RPE. We’re going to get better this year. We’re not satisfied just being a small promotional company. Boxing is the loneliest sport in the world and these boxers need fans’ support. There’s a lot of talent in New England and much of it is concentrated in Connecticut. We have more Connecticut fighters on this card than fighters from Massachusetts.”
Richard Rivera: “Dette er en stor mulighed for mig. Rivera Promotions accomplished so much in its first year. I fought in the co-main twice of two previous RPE shows I fought on. This is going to be an awesome show, not just the main event. There are competitive boxers up and down the card. Må ikke blinke, don’t go to the bathroom because any one of these fights could end at any time.”
“This is a big step up for my career. Boxing is my passion. We’re both coming to fight. Vind, lose or draw we’ll see who the Alpha dog is at the end. “I’m ‘Popeye The Sailor Man’, and I’m good to the finish because I eat my spinach.”
Kevin Cobbs: “I respect Rivera and believe in what I hear. He seems like a good dude. I’m excited about this fight. A lot of people weren’t sure about what I was doing because I hadn’t fought i to år da jeg fik opkaldet (to fight Rivera). Boxing took me out of the space was in and I never stopped boxing. This is going to be a big year for the Rivera’s. I like to switch it up and I’m ready to go.”
Bobby Harris, III: “My opponent wants to redeem his brother’s loss to me. I want to thank RPE for putting me in the co-feature in only my third pro fight. My first two fights were a learning experience and this fight I’m looking to make a statement to showcase my talents. I have a lot to prove as the only Worcester fighter on this card.”
Omar Borðoy, Jr: “I’m fighting a tough opponent. Fighting is easier for me than talking up here. I’m fighting a guy from Hartford. I have a lot of love for his trainer and Hartford. I want my hand raised at the end of the fight.”
Derrick Whitley: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions for putting me on this card. I fought on two of their shows last year and came out 2-0. I’m looking to be 3-0. It was a learning experience going from the amateurs to pros. Everybody’s goal is to raise your level. I’m in the best shape of my life for this fight and doing things in the gym I’ve never done before. I’m looking for a stoppage.”
Wilfredo Pagan: “Jeg er 37 years old and I’ve always had a glad to fight at least one pro fight. A couple of fights fell through but the Riveras opened the doors for me. I put it all into my fights. I was looking for one fight and this will be my fourth. I’m going to be 4-0.”

WORCESTER, Masse. (Januar 8, 2018) – En af de mest populære New England boksning udsigter, ubesejret Hartford (CT) lys sværvægter Richard “Skipper Skræk Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOS), vilje overskrift hans tredje show Lørdag nat, Februar 10, på The Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.
I den femte rate af “New Englands fremtid” serie, præsenteret af Rivera Promotions Underholdning (RPE), den 27-årige Rivera møder Kevin “kray 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOS), kæmper ud af Burlington (VT), om den ledige Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England titel i otte-runde main event.
Rivera, der var en 2016 Rocky Marciano turnering mester, tager plads på bænken en sensationel anden runde knockout af 146-kamp veteran Roberto Valenzuela dette tidligere December 9 i Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Jeg glæder mig til at have Richie boksning for UBF New England titel så tidligt i hans pro karriere,”” promotoren Jose Antonio Rivera, den pensionerede 3-tid, 2-division verdensmester. “Dette er tredje gang, vi har haft det privilegium at ham at kæmpe på en af ​​vores kort. Han kæmpede i den vigtigste begivenhed i vores sidste show (Oktober) på DCU Center. Rivera ser bedre og skarpere, hver gang jeg ser ham kamp. Jeg ser store ting kommer til ham. Han har de værktøjer og disciplin en træner kigger efter og en bokser har brug for at blive verdensmester. Himlen er grænsen for Richard og, for nu, Vi er taknemmelige for at spille en lille del at hjælpe med at udvikle karrieren.”
Rivera har med succes markedsført sin Popeye persona under hans unge pro boksning karriere, iført en sømands kasket i ringen med en traditionel Popeye-lignende rør dinglende i munden. “Der er flere grunde til mit kælenavn, 'Skipper Skræk', men da jeg var meget ung,” Rivera forklarede, “Jeg havde unormalt store underarme. Det bare stak med mig gennem årene, når folk henvist til mig i gymnastiksalen, så jeg har kørt med det. Jeg bringer liv tilbage til Hartford med tålmodighed, hele New England, med tålmodighed, udholdenhed og stil. Jeg bor i øjeblikket.”
Selvom han ikke vandt mange store priser eller turneringer som amatør bokser, Rivera fik uvurderlig erfaring boksning mange af de bedste amatører i New England og i nationale begivenheder, samt sparring med folk som tidligere verdensmestre Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Chad Dawson og Joe Smith, Jr. Han lærte også fra tid tilbragt i ringen med tidligere titel udfordrere Israel “snarere” Cardona og John Scully.
“Jeg tog min tid dreje pro, fordi jeg ikke har en støtteordning for at få mig til det næste niveau,” Rivera bemærkede. “Jeg var usikker. Den positive tilbagemeldinger jeg har modtaget fra krigere jeg sparred fodret ind i min tillid. Nu, i kun min sjette pro kamp, Jeg vil hovednavn for tredje gang, og kæmper for min første titel. Jeg kan ikke takke Riveras (Jose og hans søn, A.J.) nok til, hvad de har gjort for mig. De har troet på mig.”
Først, Rivera var noget tilbageholdende med at bekæmpe den mere erfarne Cobb men, efter at gøre nogle forskning, han accepterede udfordringen. “Jeg var lidt nervøs ved første,” han indrømmede. “Nogle var spørgsmålstegn, hvis jeg var klar til at optrappe at bekæmpe ham. Jeg gjorde nogle forskning: han havde ikke en større amatør karriere, eller kæmpede flere seks eller otte runder kampe end mig. Og jeg var den sparringspartner for den første pro at slå ham, Tyron Burris(TKO2 i 2012). Jeg er klar! Jeg er 27 og har brug for en kamp som denne.”
Worcester to-tiden nationale amatør mester Bobby “BH3” Harris, III møder brasilianske mellemvægt Saul Almeida (0-8-1) i de fire-runde co-featured begivenhed.
