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.”

BROADWAY BOXING RESULTS

Mashantucket, CT (September 16, 2017) – Undefeated Irishman Niall “Boom Boom” Kennedy won a controversial 10-round split decision versus defending champion Alexis Santos to capture the New England heavyweight championship in last night’s (Lørdag) main event of Broadway Boxing held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
Den Broadway Boxing series is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX, and Christos Steak House. Last night’s show, which was streamed by FightNight LIVE on Facebook, was promoted in association with Murphys Boxing.
Kennedy (9-0, 5 KOS), fighting out of Galway, Irland, by way of Boston, battled Santos in a competitive, action-packed brawl to be awarded the N.E. title by scores of 96-93, 96-93, 93-96. The majority of fans in attendance, outside of Kennedy’s Irish supporters, and the ringside media felt that Santos, fra Lawrence, MA, had the edge and deserved the decision.
Dommer Al LoBianco deducted a point from Santos in the ninth round for a highly questionable low blow and failed to rule a knockdown when it appeared the ropes kept Kennedy upright in a tremendous last round surge from the Dominican American.
I co-featured Bout, tidligere verdensmester Shelly “Shelito Way” Vincent (20-1, 1 KO), of Providence, RI, defeated former world title challenger Angel “Non-Stop” Gladney (9-13-1, 6 KOS) in a junior lightweight match. The colorful Vincent was the aggressor throughout the fight, effectively cutting off the ring, outboxing and walking down Gladney for a lop-sided eight-round unanimous decision (80-72, 80-71 to gange).
Shelly Vincent (L) outclassed Angel Gladney
Rising Connecticut welterweight star “Marvelous” Mykquan Williams forbedret hans post til 8-0 (4 KOS), pitching a complete shutout in an impressive six-round unanimous decision (all 60-54) win over a much more experienced and considerably taller Evincii “Prize Fighter” Dixon (7-20-2, 2 KOS). Williams is a 19-year-old from East Hartford who is a freshman at Manchester Community College.
Mykquan Williams (L) cruised to another victory
2012 Ukrainsk Olympian Ievgen “The Ukrainian Lion” Khytrov (15-1, 13 KOS), kæmper ud af Brooklyn, bounced back from his only pro loss with a near shutout eight-round decision victory (80-72 to gange, 79-73) over his always tough super middleweight adversary, battle-tested veteran Derrick “Superman” Finley (27-22-1, 18 KOS).
“It was different when I first started training after a loss,” Khytrov said after the fight. “I started to think more and work on my defense; to fight much smarter instead of just brawling, throwing punches, like I did before my loss. I came the US four years ago from a small country that’s not rich to become a world champion. I feel I’m back on the right track.
Ievgen Khytrov (R) bounced back with a solid win
Hot New England junior welterweight prospect Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (5-0, 4 KOS) stepped up in class against Mexican Francisco “El Mono” Medel (11-10, 7 KOS), and remained undefeated by displaying his overall game, offensively and defensively. Fighting out of Lawrence, MA, den 2014 N.E. amateur champion Sosa dropped Medal with a straight right in the first round, a sneaky body shot in the second and finished him off in the third with a crisp right to the temple as referee Al LoBianco immediately halted the action.
Pro-debuting welterweights Nicky DeQuattro (1-0, 1 KO) og Timothy Wheeler (0-1) engaged in a street fight from the opening bell until DeQuartro, fighting out of Johnson, RI, connected with an overhand right that dropped his New York City rival. Øjeblikke senere, DeQuattro unleashed a four-punch combination that dropped Wheeler for a complete 10-count.
The night started with a barnburner as former Irish amateur standout Ray Moylette (6-0, 2 KOS) kept his undefeated pro record intact but it certainly wasn’t easy. Moylette overcame a second-round knockdown, coming back strong in the second half of the fight to take a six-round split decision versus game junior welterweight Donte Bryant (1-3-1, 1 KO).

Iceman John Scully’s 6th Official Amateur Boxing Reunion

Efterlad en kommentar

Lørdag, Marts 18, 2017
12:00 Middag (until around 3 pm)
@ Monique’s Lounge (aka 108 Lounge)
181 East 108th Street
East Harlem, New York
10029
I am proud to officially announce my 6th Official Amateur Boxing Reunion that will take place on March 18 at Monique’s Lounge in Harlem, New York. I am expecting by far the largest turn out of any of the previous 5 reunions which were held twice at Rival Boxing in Las Vegas, once at Jimmy’s Corner in Manhattan and once each at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos.
Of the over 100 boxers attending this far, among them I expect the likes of 1988 Olympiske Sølv medaljevinder Riddick Big Daddy Bowe, NYC Golden Gloves Champ “Poison” Junior Jones, 1984 Olympic champ Mark Breland, 1974 National Junior Olympic champ Marlon Starling, 1996 USA Olympic team captain Lawrence Clay-Bey og 1988 National Golden Gloves Champion Mark “Too Sharp” Johnson.
At my past reunions, including the most recent one held at the Rival Boxing Store in Las Vegas on November 18, we’ve had the likes of Roy Jones Jr., Alex “The Bronx Bomber” Ramos, 1992 Olympian Montell Griffin, former three time world champions Mike McCallum and Iran Barkley, og “The Fighter” and Irish Micky Ward in attendance.
Among the most special of moments at my reunions, we had Mike McCallum and Alex Ramos, who met each other in the semi-finals of the 1980 NYC Golden Gloves, reconnect in Las Vegas in late 2014, we had Luis Ortiz and Lawrence Clay-Bey, who were brought together in 2015 at Foxwoods after not only not seeing each other in 38 YEARS but after not even knowing they fought against each other in 1977 until just a few days before they reunited and in NYC over the summer of 2015 we had 1984 New York City Golden Gloves 156 pound champion and runner up Dennis “The Magician” Milton and Jesse Lanton connect once again.
Any media who wish to attend the event in Harlem, New York on March 18 are more than welcome to be a part of the festivities.
