CITAZIONI CONFERENZA STAMPA
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: “Questa è una grande opportunità per me. 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. Non ammiccare, 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. Vittoria, 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 in due anni quando ho ricevuto la chiamata (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 Bordoy, 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: “Sono 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.”
Carlos Marraro, III: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions for the opportunity to showcase my talents February 10th. This will be my first fight on a Rivera Promotions card, but I’m familiar with most of the fighters on this card.”

(Gennaio 8, 2018) – Uno dei più popolari prospettive di boxe del New England, imbattuto Hartford (CT) pesi massimi leggeri Richard “Braccio di Ferro il marinaio” Rivera (5-0, 4 KO), sarà headliner il suo terzo spettacolo Sabato notte, Febbraio 10, al Palladium di Worcester, Massachusetts.
Nel quinto capitolo della “Il futuro del New England” serie, presentato da Rivera Promozioni Spettacolo (RPE), il 27-year-old Rivera incontra Kevin “KRAY 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KO), combattimento da Burlington (VT), per il vacante universale Boxing Federation (UBF) New England titolo nel main event otto round.
Rivera, che era un 2016 campione Rocky Marciano torneo, è venuta fuori una sensazionale secondo turno a eliminazione diretta di 146-lotta veterano Roberto Valenzuela lo scorso dicembre 9 a Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Sono entusiasta di avere Richie boxe per il titolo UBF New England così presto nella sua carriera da professionista,”” detto promotore Jose Antonio Rivera, la pensione 3 volte, 2-campione del mondo divisione. “Questa è la terza volta che abbiamo avuto il privilegio di lotta contro di lui su una delle nostre carte. Ha combattuto nel main event del nostro ultimo spettacolo (Ottobre) presso il Centro DCU. Rivera sembra migliore e più nitida ogni volta che lo guardo lotta. Vedo grandi cose a venire per lui. Egli ha gli strumenti e la disciplina un allenatore cerca e un pugile ha bisogno di diventare campione del mondo. Il cielo è il limite per Richard e, per ora, siamo grati a giocare una piccola parte per aiutare a sviluppare la sua carriera professionale.”
Rivera ha commercializzato con successo la sua persona Braccio di Ferro nel corso della sua giovane carriera pro boxe, protezione da portare del marinaio sul ring con un tradizionale tubo penzoloni Popeye simile in bocca. “Ci sono diverse ragioni per il mio nickname, ‘Popeye’, ma quando ero molto giovane,” Rivera ha spiegato, “Ho avuto modo anomalo grandi avambracci. E 'appena bloccato con me nel corso degli anni, quando la gente di cui mi in palestra, così ho correre con esso. Sto portando la vita torna a Hartford con la pazienza, tutto il New England, con la pazienza, la perseveranza e stile. Io vivo in questo momento.”
Anche se non ha vinto molti importanti premi o tornei come un pugile dilettante, Rivera ha guadagnato preziosa esperienza di boxe molti dei migliori dilettanti in New England e in eventi nazionali, così come sparring con artisti del calibro di ex campioni del mondo Pietro “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Chad Dawson e Joe Smith, Jr. Ha anche imparato da tempo trascorso sul ring con gli ex rivali per il titolo Israele “piuttosto” Cardona e John Scully.
“Ho preso il mio tempo di passare al professionismo, perché non ho avuto un sistema di supporto per farmi al livello successivo,” Rivera ha osservato. “Ero insicuro. Il feedback positivo che ho ricevuto da combattenti che sparred immessa nella mia fiducia. Ora, nel solo la mia lotta sesto pro, Sarò headliner per la terza volta, e la lotta per il mio primo titolo. Non posso ringraziare i Riveras (Jose e suo figlio, A.J.) abbastanza per quello che hanno fatto per me. Hanno creduto in me.”
All'inizio, Rivera era un po 'riluttante a combattere il più esperto Cobb ma, dopo aver fatto alcune ricerche, ha accettato la sfida. “Ero un po 'nervoso in un primo momento,” ha ammesso. “Alcuni sono stati in discussione se ero pronto a passo fino a combattere contro di lui. Ho fatto qualche ricerca: egli non ha avuto una carriera amatoriale più grande, o combattuto più sei o otto giri combattimenti di me. E io ero il sparring partner per la prima pro di batterlo, Tyron Burris(TKO2 in 2012). Sono pronto! Sono 27 e hanno bisogno di una lotta come questa.”
