Worcester, Lamesa. (Jona 20, 2018) — This past Father’s Day was considerably different for three-time, izao tontolo izao fizarana roa-tompon-daka “The Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera and his pro-debuting son, A.J. Rivera, because they will beMaking History,” presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment and Granite Chin Promotions, Aogositra 17 at The Palladium.

 

 

 

Rivera and his son, tsirairay, are the promoter and matchmaker for Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which will co-promoteMaking Historywith Granite Chin Promotions (GCP).

 

 

 

We are excited to be teaming up with GCP for this historic boxing event,” Jose commented. “We have had the pleasure of working with Chris (Traietti) and Chuck (Shearns) in the past. We are grateful that they are able to work with us again to make sure we put together a great boxing event.

 

 

 

The Riveras will become the first world-champion father-son combination to fight on a pro show that is promoted by their company. More significantly, A.J. will become the first pro boxer to be born with Spina Bifida.

 

 

 

Ankehitriny 45 taona, Rivera is making his second comeback, but this time it’s solely to fight on the same card as his son. Due to a variety of reasons, “The Gallo” retired from the ring in 2008, but he came back in 2011 for two fights, both victories, before hanging up his gloves again.

 

 

 

Amin'ny 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (Ibo) World welterweight title, mijanona Gilberto Flores ao amin'ny fihodinana faharoa. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, tanàna nahaterahany amin'ny toerana tena Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.

 

 

 

Ady roa taty aoriana, in front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera won a 12-round unanimous decision over defending champion Alejandro Garcia (25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.

 

 

 

I am boxing at 45 years old because of this great opportunity that has arisen for my son and I,” Jose explained. “Boxing on the same card with my son is going to be exciting and, even more so, because we will be a part of history! I am fortunate to be healthy, ara-batana, and I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for not having any brain issues from my prior years of boxing. I’ve lost 20 kilao, so far, and need to lose 12 more to make the 160-pound weight class.

 

 

 

I am not sure how the night of the fight is going to go. I play it in my head over and over about how I would like it to go, fa amin'ny farany, I’m confident we will both be ready for tough fights because of the hard work we’re both putting in at the gym.

 

 

 

Fan response has been good, positive and supportive of what we both are doing and attempting to accomplish. To look back at the day I was told my son was going to be born with Spina Bifida, preparing myself mentally for the worse, ary ankehitriny 25 years later here we are close to fulfilling his childhood dream. It’s amazing! I feel blessed to share this moment with my son. I am also happy that we can do this in front of our family, namana & fans in our City of Worcester, where my son was born, and I was raised since I moved there when I was 16.

 

 

 

Tamin'ny Aog. 17, Rivera will face battle-tested middleweight Ryan “Dangerous” Davis (24-19, 9 Kos), fighting out of East Saint Louis, Illinois, eo amin’ny lalao lehibe andiany valo. Davis has been in with the iron, including six-time, izao tontolo izao fizarana roa tompon-daka Zab Joda, former International Boxing Federation (IBF) izao tontolo izao tompon-daka Ishe Smith, two-time world title challenger and 2004 US Olympian Vances Martirosyan, izao tontolo izao lohateny nihantsy ady Jonathan Reid, reigning International Boxing Association (Iba) world junior middleweight champion Mark DeLuca, plus other notables such as Rob Brant, Mikael Zewski, Carlos Bojorquez ary Dominik Britsch.

 

 

 

 

Twenty-five-year-old A.J. will fight an opponent to be determined in a four-round welterweight match. He is a graduate of Johnson & Wales with a major in sports management, who has quickly become one of the most respected matchmakers in New England.

 

 

 

A.J. grew-up in a gym, watching his father train, and he also fought as an amateur boxer. “I’ve always wanted to fight as a pro and what better way than to make my pro debut on the same card headlined by my pops,” Rivera said. “This is a one and done, I’m not going to box as a career and, hopefully I will leave the ring on August 17faha- and retire undefeated. I plan to make matchmaking a career. I can stay in the sport I’ve always loved and matchmake for our company and for other promoters.

 

 

 

I was born with Spina Bifida. A layer of skin covered a hole in my back, preventing water from getting in, which would have damaged my system and left me paralyzed, unable to speak and with a shunt in my head to drain fluid. The doctors told my parents that, if I survived, I’d only live to be 19, in a wheelchair and a little autistic. I had surgery the next day and my pops kept hope. As I got older, I played basketball, baolina kitra, baseball and boxed. I was inactive for seven years when I went away to school and started matchmaking.

 

 

 

In addition to sacrificing to make weight, instead of having a Father’s Day cookout, he watched what he ate and, mazava ho azy, workout with his father in the gym to prepare for his pro debut.

 

 

 

 

I wasn’t able to celebrate my 25faha- anniversary on June 2 na,” A.J. koa. “I plan to celebrate my birthday and Father’s Day when I step out of the ring on August 17faha-. Avy eo dia, I’ll go back to focusing on my craft and become a full-time matchmaker.

 

 

 

Red-hot Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (8-0, 7 Kos), fighting out of Hartford, CT, will be showcased in the eight-round co-featured event. Rivera is the reigning UBF All Americans light heavyweight and ABF International cruiserweight champion.

Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera Finishes off Kevin Cobbs in 3 with super uppercut

NEW ENGLAND’S FUTURE 5
Vokatra ofisialy
(pictures courtesy of Bonesprostudios)
Worcester, Lamesa. (Febroary 11, 2018) – Undefeated prospect Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera vita ny eny Kevin “The New England mpihetraketraka” Cobbs ao amin'ny fihodinana fahatelo, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New England Hoavin'ny 5” karatra, nanolotra ny Rivera Promotions Entertainment, amin'ny The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 Kos) fought once again in front of his large, traveling fanbase from Hartford, CT, capturing the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) light heavyweight title in dramatic fashion. The charismatic Hartford boxer ended his third consecutive match with what has become his trademark right-uppercut.

Rivera used his strength, energy and determined will to defeat South Boston’s Cobbs (10-3, 4 Kos), whose previous fight had been more than a year ago, when he was stopped in the second round by now world champion David Benavidez.

In only his sixth pro fight, the key question going into the bout was whether Rivera was ready to effectively step up in class to face a more experienced Cobbs. Right from the opening bell, the answer was a resounding, Eny, as Rivera pounded Cobbs with powerful shots to the body and head.

Cobbs was dropped three times in the third round, one was ruled a push, and the end came when referee Jackie Morrell halted the action at the 2:51 as a reeling Cobbs was blasted backwards from the Rivera’s previously mentioned uppercut.

The beginning of the end for Cobbs (L) as Rivera sets up his vaunted uppercut

I stepped things up in the third,” nanazava Rivera. “He stopped throwing as many punches in the third and was ducking in. I said I wasn’t going to look for the knockout but, if it came, I’d take it. I got him with my uppercut. I respect Cobbs and thank him for giving me this opportunity.
Ao amin'ny fiaraha-nasongadina hetsika, tanàna nahaterahany amin'ny toerana tena Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-2) fought to a four-round majority draw.
Super middleweight Troy “Omar KO Artist” mpanakanto (5-7-1, 3 Kos), ny Danbury, CT, upset intrastate rival Jose “Misy laharana R” Rivera (4-2, 3 Kos), of Hartford, winning a six-round majority decision.
Danbury, CT junior welterweight Omar Bordoy, Jr. (4-0-, 1 KO) used a blistering body attack to defeat Seth Basler (0-5) by way of a lop-sided four-round unanimous decision.

Junior welterweight prospect Wilfredo “ny Sucaro” Mpanompo sampy (4-0, 2 Kos) floored veteran Bryan “The Brick” Abraham (6-29-2, 6 Kos) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. Ao amin'ny fihodinana faharoa, Mpanompo sampy, of Southbridge, MA., drilled Abraham who went flying across the ring and into the ropes as referee Jackie Morrell halted the bout.

Springfield, MA junior middleweight Derrick “Zazalahy maditra” Whitley (3-0) cruised to a dominating four-round unanimous decision over Cleveland’s Roger Blankenship (1-3), pitching a complete shutout in the process.

Bridgeport, CT welterweight Joe Goss (1-0) turned in an impressive pro debut, dropping Montreal’s Samuel Vasquez (1-3, 1 KO) in the second round on his way to a four-round unanimous decision.

Puerto Rican junior lightweight Luis “Lobito” Rivera (4-3, 1 Kos) overcame a nasty cut over his eye to win a hard-fought four-round majority decision over Carlos Marrero, III (0-2), ny Bridgeport, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA light heavyweight Ray “Bazooka” Graceski (5-0-1, 3 Kos) and International Muay Thai fighter, Harford’s pro boxing debuting Pawel Banasiak (0-1-0), fought to a four-round draw in an entertaining brawl.

Puerto Rican super middleweight Jelame Garcia (7-0, 6 Kos), fighting out of Lynn, MA., remained undefeated but Nathan Schulte (0-5), de Tsiroanomandidy, MA, extended him the full distance for first time as a pro en route to a four-round unanimous decision.

It’s good to see he is confident in his abilities to take on Rivera, ny Tsy Mety Resy ny ho avy-ary-be fanantenana amin'ny hoavy mamirapiratra.”
Ny 33 taona, dia tsy niady Cobbs amin'ny mihoatra ny roa taona, satria izy dia nijanona teo amin'ny fihodinana faharoa amin'ny mampitolagaga David Benavidez (19-0, 17 Kos), ny 21 taona vao nanjaka Council World Ady Totohondry (Kapila bitika) Super Middleweight World Tompon-daka.
“Nihevitra ny olona fa efa azony avy tany ady totohondry,” nanazava Cobbs. “”Tsy mbola nitsahatra fiofanana, Fotsiny aho fa tsy misy ady hatramin'ny ady Benavidez.

Tsy afaka mamaly izany, izy ihany no afaka. fa hahita avy Febroary 10faha-. Afaka milaza aminareo aho fa vonona aho.”
Mampihomehy, Cobbs dia avy amin'ny tanàna niavian'i Rivera, Hartford.

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “New England Hoavin'ny 5”

“New England Hoavin'ny 5”
Feb. 10 in Worcester, MA

Worcester, Lamesa. (Janoary 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, Junior welterweight Omar Bordoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10faha- amin'ny “New England Hoavin'ny 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), amin'ny The Palladium in Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), in a four-round bout. “My opponent is tough, and he always comes to fight,” Bordoy said. “He keeps coming forward and that’s going to make for an exciting fight.
The 22-year-old Bordoy is the typical example of a volatile teenager who found his way in boxing. He was a high school football player who started boxing at the age of 17. Bordoy had an abbreviated amateur career, highlighted by his winning performance at the New England Golden Gloves as a novice boxer.
I was a bad hot head as a kid,” Bordoy admitted. “Indray andro, my cousin Edgardo, invited me to his gym after football practice and he beat me up. I was knocked down a few notches. I got into boxing and enjoyed watching Miguel Cotto ary Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Ankehitriny, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker na Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I’m a come- forward boxer who can still brawl. I’m working on my defense and feel that making adjustments in the ring is what I do best.
Bordoy, Jr. credits Team Bordoy — mpitantana A.J. Galante, lohany mpanazatra Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi ary Dave McDonoughfor his success.
I’m pleased to be with the right people to bring me to the top and I’m willing to do what’s needed to get there,” Bordoy added.
Bordoy, who works fulltime as a repair technician, made his pro debut last May and he fought a total of three times in 2017, his most recent last October in Worcester on an RPE-promoted show, in which he stopped 34-fight veteran Bryan Abraham ao amin'ny fahefatra fihodinana.
We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” mampiroborobo Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “I am proud of Omar and his accomplishments so far. He is a young, throwback fighter with a lot of potential. I see big things in his future and I am glad to see he is being guided in the right direction by his team.
In the eight-round main event, Tsy Mety Resy Hartford (CT) mazava lanja mavesatra Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 Kos) maka amin'ny Kevin “The New England mpihetraketraka” Cobbs (10-2, 4 Kos), fighting out of South Boston (MA), fa ny banga Universal Ady Totohondry Federation (UBF) New England anaram-boninahitra ao amin'ny valo-manodidina hetsika lehibe.

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

Oktobra 28 in Worcester, MA
(L-R) – front: Bobby Harris III holding Bobby Harris IV and A.J. Rivera; rear: Bobby Harris and Jose Antonio Rivera
Worcester, Lamesa. (Oktobra 2, 2017) – Local prospect Bobby “BH3” Harris III is ready to breakout of the shadows cast by his father, retired pro boxer Bobby Harris, manomboka Asabotsy alina, Oktobra 28, in the fourth and final 2017 installment of the popular professional boxing series, “New England Hoavin'ny”, amin'ny DCU Center (Exhibition Hall) in Worcester, Massachusetts.
New England’s Future 4is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, izao tontolo izao fizarana roa tompon-daka Jose Antonio Rivera ary ny zanany, Anthonee (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” ny fiakaran'ny fanantenana, A.J. the president and matchmaker for RPE. Indraindray, aza, 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. koa. “We did everything together: ran, trained, 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 in ny U.S, ary No. 2 eto amin'izao tontolo izao.
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 ary Irvin Gonzalez 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 ary 1999. Amin'izao fotoana izao, 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, ao ny peratra, fa, 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, aza. 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. Ankehitriny, 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 (Junior middleweight. 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, koa. I’m more active than him. So that people don’t confuse us when talking, I came up with ‘BH3as 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 worldwill know it’s BH3 Time!”
“BH3” turned pro this past Jona 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, have fun, throw combinations and that the knockout will come. Dad liked to jab, I like to hit and run likeSiramamy’ Ray (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. 28faha- fight against New Yorker Troy OmerKO Artist” mpanakanto (3-7-1, 2 Kos), contested at a 164-pound catchweight, in a four-round bout.
