“Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Kendrick Ball, JR. hits home run vs. Bryan Vera

Leave a comment

“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire

DERRY, N.H. (Abril 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, JR. turned in a career-best performance in last night’s main event against dangerousBryan “The Warrior” Vera on the evening portion of the “Crossroads” day-night doubleheader, Presentado por Granite Chin Promotions, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 Kos) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 Kos) applied pressure, right from the opening bell. Ball took control in the second round, when he stayed in the pocket, snapping off crisp combinations. Ball fired more effective combinations in the third round as Vera started chasing his opponent. Ball started moving around the ring and fighting from the outside in the fourth and stayed on his toes the remainder of the fight.

Ball won an 8-round unanimous decision (79-73, 79-73, 78-74) to become the World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (Estados Unidos) Silver Super Middleweight Champion.

“This was my best fight, because of who I fought, and the magnitude of the fight,” Ball commented. “The plan was to box and move because he was much smaller and slower. At times I banged, when I knew he wasn’t hurting me, but I shouldn’t have taken the risks.”

The 39-year-old Vera isn’t the same fighter he was when he beat three different world champions –Andy Lee, Sergio Mora (dúas veces) eSerhiy Dzinziruk.  The Texan needs to decide if it’s time to finally hang up his gloves.

“This was awesome, definitely our best show to date,” Granite Chin’sTrazos de Chris declared after the show. “We feel great about stepping up to give these fighters, especially the locals, a platform to perform on in front of fans. I think a lot of promoters have gotten lazy. They gave us a lane and Granite Chin took advantage. This was our fourth show with fans during the last year. Brian fought hard and he’s a great guy, but he’s not the same guy he was in 2011. He needs to think about what he’s going to do.

“Granite Chin returns here June 26th with another doubleheader. The afternoon show will be the Granite Chin Invitational for open elite boxers. With the New England Golden Gloves canceled again there is a void to fill. If promoters are going to help amateurs, I certainly will, starting June 26th."

RetoMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 Kos) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionRyan Dibartolomeo (3-2-1, 1 KO) via a sixth-round stoppage in an entertaining co-feature. A devastating overhand right from Bates gave him his new crown as the referee didn’t even count as the ring doctor quickly entered the ring.

Larry “Hitman” Pryor took the contract out onScott Lambert and he wasted little time taking care of business to become the New Hampshire Cruiserweight Champion. Pryor took advantage of his decisive height and reach advantages, closing the show with a perfectly thrown left hook that sent Lambert to the canvas. Lambert managed to beat the count, but the referee stopped the fight midway through the opening round when he saw Lambert wobbling back and forth on rubbery legs.

Lanky lefthandedFrancis “The Tank” Hogan (5-0, 5 Kos) graduated last night with a brilliant performance againstLarry “Slo Mo” Smith, who was in his 60th career fight. Hogan put down Smith early in the third round and caught the Texan late in the same round with a lefty-combination to the temple. Smith beat the count, but he was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round, and 20-year-old Hogan became the new New Hampshire Junior Middleweight Champion.

Former New England heavyweight championJustin “Crazy Train” Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 Kos) positioned himself for another N.E. title shot with a spectacular knockout ofAlfredo “Choncho” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 KO). The 263-pound Rolfe, fighting out of Fairfield, Maine, charged across the ring at the bell and put his Arizona opponent to sleep right in his corner, when he was counted out at the 20-seconds mark.

The newest member of the fightin’ Whitley family from western Massachusetts, welterweight invictoDenzel Whitley, cruised to his fourth victory with his fourth knockout. He drilledAquilandro Brandao late in round one and the fight was stopped by the referee.

InvictoJahye Brown (9-0, 7 Kos) captured the vacant ABF Athletic junior middleweight title with a hard fought 8-round unanimous decision over a game Mexican opponent,Dormedes Potes (12-4-1, 9 Kos).  The two fought toe-to-toe from the opening bell and Brown landed the more effective punches inside to earn the victory.

Promising middleweight prospectJulien “Black Dragon” Baptiste mellorou a 2-0 with his second knockout, blasting outBruno Dias in the third round.

Fighting for the first time in more than eight years, Río Fall, MA peso welterDustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 Kos) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAnthonyAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match. 

Middleweight JúniorCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon dúas veces, the last closing the show late in the first round.

“Cannon” Berry stops Ibarra in 5

UBO All-America Welterweight ChampionBrandon “The Cannon” Berry (21-5-2, 13 Kos) successfully defended in the afternoon card’s main event, overcoming a slow start in which he was buzzed to stop challengerGael Ibarra (5-3, 4 Kos) in the fifth round.

Berry finished the fight in the fifth, when he unloaded twin barrages of unanswered punches on a trapped Ibarra until the referee waved off the fight.

“I’m glad it wasn’t a 4-round fight,” Berry said after the fight. “He was a strong guy. I was feeling it. He tested me. I want to thank my family and friends here, and Granite Chin and everybody involved in the promotion.”

No evento co-featured, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 Kos), in a non-title fight, nocauteadoTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.

Popular Boston IrishmanJimmy Torney (3-0, 3 Kos) – 6’ 6”, 269 lbs. – needed only 42-seconds and one big right to stop pro-debuting heavyweightMarco Nascimento. 

Massachusetts welterweightEric “Gladiator” Goff convincingly won his pro debut againstJader Alves(0-5) as he pitched a 4-round shutout

Three-time New England Golden Gloves championDemek “Hightower” Edmonds had an awesome pro debut, dropping cruiserweightFrancisco Neto twice in round one, the second a vicious body shot ending the fight. Edmonds, a southpaw from Worcester, MA, is a college graduate and bonafide prospect to watch.

In a non-title fight, New England welterweight championMike “Bad Man” Ohan, JR. (12-1, 6 Kos) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, Middleweight JúniorRynell Griffin. Ohan decked Griffin three times in the first round, the third with a left hook to the body from which Griffin was unable to beat the count.

Canadian cruiserweightYan “Wild Thing” Pellerin (11-1, 5 Kos) landed two stinging rights to the body of 63-fight veteranSteve “The Spoiler” Walker, both flooring the Missouri fighter, the second resulting in an opening-round knockout for the vacant ABF Atlantic title.

Connecticut welterweightOmar “The Beast” Borday, JR. (1101, 3 Kos) dominated 65-fight journeymanDewayne Wisdom en route to a one-sided 8-round unanimous decision.

No place like home for Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

Leave a comment

WORCESTER, Masa. (Febreiro 11, 2020) – A lifelong dream will become finally reality on February 28th, when undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (12-0, 6 Kos) fights at home for the first time as a professional in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Ortiz will headline aCES Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS® event, promoted by Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), at the historic Worcester Palladium. His opponent in the 8-round main event will be Mexican knockout artist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-5, 17 Kos), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

“I’ve never fought in Worcester as a professional,” Ortiz said at a recent press conference. “I’ve wanted to do this bad to let people in Worcester see what it has. It’s going to be extra special because two of my closest friends, Irvin González eKendrick Ball, JR., are also fighting on this card. We’ve fought together since we were kids.”

The 23-year-old will not be defending his WBC Youth World title, because he will relinquish his belt in April, when turns 24 and becomes ineligible in terms of the age requirement (23 and younger).

“Jamaine had one of the most prestigious amateur careers ever in New England,” Ortiz’ promoterJimmy Burchfield (CES Boxeo) said. “He already owns the WBC World Youth title and has World Champion written all over him.”

“The Technician” is fine tuning his game and he’s already looking ahead to the not too distant future.

“I’m very excited to be fighting February 28th for the first time in Worcester,” Ortiz added. “It’s an exciting card with action-packed fights. I expect it’ll be sold out and hope so, because I want to prove to my city, meu promotor, and local businesses that big-time boxing belongs here and will be supported by Worcester. In 2021, I want to bring world championship boxing to the new baseball stadium (Polar Park, the future home of the Worcester Red Sox, Triple A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox) across the street that will seat 10,000.”

The Feb. 28th show showcasing Ortiz worldwide will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, the world’s leading digital subscription service for combat sports, a partir de 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT.

To sign up for UFC FIGHT PASS, visitewww.ufcfightpass.com.

Long-Awaited Pro Debut for Worcester Father Owen Minor

Leave a comment

Owen Minor with his sons, (L) Ramiel and Amaren

WORCESTER, Masa. (Marzo 5, 2019) – Decorated amateur boxer Owen Minor has spent the past three years focusing on fatherhood responsibilities. Minor will make his long-awaited professional debut with his two sons at his side on the “Every Man for Himself” tarxeta, Shearns Boxing Promotions’ (SBP) acto inaugural, on Friday night, Marzo 15, no Paladio en Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 32-year-old Minor, who didn’t start boxing until he was 23, captured bronze medals at the 2014 U.S. Boxing National and National Golden Gloves tournaments. New England boxing fans have been anxiously waiting for his pro debut.

Why did it take so long for Minor to turn pro, especially after a relatively late start in the sport, in addition to developing into quality national amateur boxer?

“I was being a father,” Minor explained. “I have two sons, agora 11 e 8, and living in Worcester is tough. I wanted to make sure that I put them in the right direction.”

A former standout football player (fullback/defensive end) at Holy Name High School, Minor knows what he’s talking about, working full-time with juvenile offenders for the Department of Youth Services in Westborough, MA.

“We are excited to have Owen making his pro debut on our first card,” promotor Chuck Shearns remarked. “He is at a point in his life where he feels he can balance boxing and family. Owen is in tremendous shape and can punch through concrete! Fans will really enjoy watching his fight.”

A 6′ 1″, 235-pound Minor will be making his pro debut on a card headlined by his cousin and fellow Worcester boxer, Kendrick “Peppa” Balón, JR. (11-1-2, 8 Kos), who faces upset-minded Danny “Feel Good Hollywood” Rosenberger (4-6-4, 1 KO), de Youngstown, Ohio, in the six-round main event for the vacant New England middleweight title.

Kendrick Ball, Sr. trains his son as well as his nephew, Minor, who takes on Philadelphia’s Corey Morley (0-2-1) in the four-round, evento co-destacado.

“It’s a privilege to make my pro debut in my hometown on a card headlined by my cousin,” Minor said. “Not every boxer gets a chance like this. It’s a great honor for me. I love the City of Worcester and the people who live here. Boxing has always been big in my family and I want to continue our legacy in Worcester boxing.”

Undefeated Southbridge, MA peso welter Wilfredo “o Sucaro” pagán (5-0, 3 Kos) meets an upset-specialist, Peruvian Carlos Galindo (1-7), fighting out of Woburn, MA, in a four-round clash.

Tamén pelexando no cartel, all in four-round fights, are Bridgeport, CT junior lightweightCarlos Marrero III (0-2-1) vs. de Worcester Edwin Rosado (1-8-1, 1 KO), Worcester cruiserweight Jake Paradise (0-2) vs. Francisco Artri Neto (0-2), de Woburn, MA, New Haven, CT welterweight Júnior Anuel Rosa (1-0, 1 KO) vs. the Bronx’ Danny Morales (0-7), and New Britain, CT Nathan Martinez (2-0) vs. TBA.

Undefeated Providence light heavyweight Angel Camacho, JR. (15-0, 5 Kos) returns to the ring after a three-year absence in a six-round bout against Dallas veteran Larry “Slomoshun” Ferreiro.

Hometown favorite Kendrick Ball, JR. headlining at home to establish his place in Worcester’s rich boxing history

Leave a comment

WORCESTER, Masa. (Febreiro 21, 2019) – Worcester boxer Kendrick “Peppa” Balón, JR. is living the dream and closing in on some of his goals in the ring.

Balón (11-1-2, 8 Kos), fighting out of his native Worcester, MA, will headline his first show and fight for his first title belt, when he headlines “Every Man For Himself”, the inaugural event presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP), on Friday night, Marzo 15, no Paladio en Worcester. This will be the first time Ball headlines a show, in addition to fighting for his first title, in the six-round main event for the vacant New England middleweight title,

The 26-year-old Ball, promovido polo CES Boxing, rostros xiro de mentalidade Danny “Feel Good Hollywood” Rosenberger (4-6-4, 1 KO), de Youngstown, Ohio.

“This fight is so important for me because I’ve always wanted to headline in my hometown and fight for a title,” o 6′ 3″ Ball said. “Another goal of mine, before I started boxing, was to fight on a card with my cousin, Owen Minor, que estará facendo o seu debut profesional. He’s a big puncher and people can expect a big KO from him.

“I’m an exciting fighter who likes to get knockouts. Expect something big to happen March 15th. I’m working on boxing more, using my jab a lot, to improve. Non sei moito do meu rival, but I understand he likes to move a lot.”

“Shearns Boxing is happy to have Kendrick Ball, JR. headline our Mar. 15th tarxeta,” SBP promoter Chuck Shearns comentou. “He’s a good kid whose family is rooted in Worcester boxing. There definitely is a rise in the number of quality fighters coming out of Worcester. This will probably be our last chance to watch Kendrick Jr. fighting in Worcester before his promoter, CES Boxeo, has him fighting on the national scene.”

Balón, who started boxing at 13, experienced an unusual start to his boxing career, losing his first nine amateur bouts, before becoming a decorated boxer who turned pro in 2016.

“I wasn’t really ready, my head wasn’t into boxing when I started,” Ball explained. “I didn’t want to quit, and that experience taught me to never to give up. I knew that I was good – I had success sparring with pros – but it wasn’t there when I fought. I kept punching and grew into my own.”

Ball captured gold medals at three Western Golden Gloves Championships, plus top honors at the Rocky Marciano Tournament, also becoming a prestigious USA New England champion.

Adestrado polo seu pai, Ken Ball, Sr., who owns and operates Camp Get Right gym in Worcester, Ball Sr. & JR. have succeeded when many father-son relationships in boxing have often failed.


“We have a tight bond and we’ve been doing this since he was little,” Ball Sr. reported. “It’s worked out well. I try to separate father-son and make it trainer-boxer, but that’s hard at times.”

His son added, “It’s all good. Sometimes it’s difficult and becomes a little hard, but only because he’s pushing me. He’s my trainer, mostly, during fights.”

Father and son agree that there is a boxing resurgence in Worcester, which has a rich history dating back a century, but it also went through a slow period. Ball is part of a gifted quartet that’s making noise today in boxing, joining Khiary Grey, Jermaine Ortiz e Irvin González.

“Over the last three years,” Ball St. remarked, “boxing has been hot again in Worcester. There are a lot of talented, young boxers in Worcester. Once Khiary turned pro, that triggered a lot of boxers turning pro.”

“We’re all close,” Ball Jr. concluíu. “We’ve trained together and support each other.”

Worcester boxing is on the rise and more talent is turning pro, starting Mar. 15th when Ball’s cousin, Minor, makes his long-awaited pro debut in a four-rounder versus Corey Morley (0-2-1), de Philadelphia.

Undefeated Providence light heavyweight Angel Camacho, JR. (15-0, 5 Kos) returns to the ring after a three-year absence in a six-round bout, co-featured event against Dallas challenger Taronze Washington (17-26, 9 Kos).

Undefeated Southbridge, MA peso welter Wilfredo “o Sucaro” pagán (5-0, 3 Kos) takes on upset-minded Peruvian Carlos Galindo (1-7), fighting out of Woburn, MA, in a four-round clash.

RESULTADOS OFICIAIS
THE CHAMP IS BACK: referee Bob Benoit (L) e José Antonio Rivera

WORCESTER, Masa. (Agosto 19, 2018) – Seven years after his last fight, “O Galo” Jose Antonio Rivera returned to the ring in grand fashion last night (Sábado) a titular “Regreso a casa, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment, no Paladio en Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 Kos), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Tres veces, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Ferreiro (10-38-1, 7 Kos) from the opening bell and he never let up.

 

 

 

It took a few rounds for Rivera to wear off the rust, but he fed Smith a steady diet of body shots, gradually breaking down his opponent, as he won round after round on points. Twice in the sixth round it looked like Smith was done, but the tough Texan showed a lot of heart to survive.

 

 

 

Finalmente, Rivera closed the show in the seventh round, when Smith broke his hand in the fifth round and was unable to continue, kneeling in his corner, obviously in pain.

 

 

 

“I’ve always been tough,” Rivera said after the fight, “but I was a little rusty. He tested me early but, once he saw I wasn’t going anywhere and knew he was in for a fight. I started warming up in the fourth round. I was always a 12-round fighter. I didn’t know he broke his hand until after the fight. Eu me sinto gran. We gave a good fight to the fans who have always supported me.”

 

 

 

“I give myself a C+ tonight. I’m going to talk with my family, but I’m thinking about one more fight, to make it 50 for his pro career).”

 

 

 

Jose Antonio Rivera (R) had a successful comeback fight

 

 

 

No evento co-featured, Worcester super middleweight Kendrick Ball, JR. (10-1-2, 7 Kos) demolished Fabiano “O Lobo” Valdez (2-4), flooring him with a right uppercut and soon after finished him with a vicious body shot for a technical-knockout victory in the opening round. The popular Ball was fighting at home for the first time as a professional

 

 

 

The rematch between Worcester junior middleweight Khiary Grey (16-4, 12 Kos) e Antonio Chaves Fernández (9-34, 4 Kos) ended in the same fashion as their first encounter did three years ago. Also fighting at home for the first time, Gray blasted out his game opponent, cracking him with a picture-perfect, left-fight combination that put Fernandez on his back. Fernandez beat the count, but referee Bob Benoit suspendeu a acción.

 

 

Southbridge, MA junior middleweight Wilfredo “o Sucaro” pagán (5-0, 3 Kos) permaneceu invicto, using a relentless body attack to drop Engelberto “Guarura” Valenzuela (11-15, 3 Kos) tres veces, the last ending the fight midway through the third round.

 

 

 

Springfield, MA junior lightweight Josué Orta (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an impressive pro debut in a barn-burner that ended when (1-8-1, 1 KO), de Worcester, was unable to continue fighting after the third round.

 

 

 

Worcester welterweight Eslih Owuso (1-0) pitched a shutout in his pro debut, decking veteran Bryan “O Ladrillo” Abraham (6-31-2, 6 Kos) dúas veces na segunda rolda, a camiño dunha vitoria por decisión unánime.

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the night, 45-anos José Ángel “KO” Ortiz (5-14-1, 2 Kos) caeu Patrick Leal (0-5) 10-seconds into the fight, once more later in the opening round, and stopped him in the second. Oritz, fighting out of Springfield, MA by way of Puerto Rico, was fighting for the first time in five years, and he registered his first victory in seven.

WORCESTER, Masa. (Xullo 31, 2018) – Unha ducia de anos despois de conseguir o seu terceiro título mundial en dúas categorías de peso diferentes, sete dende a súa última loita, “O Galo” José Rivera volve ao ring agosto 17 a titular “Regreso a casa”, Presentado por Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) en asociación con Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), no Paladio en Worcester, Massachusetts.

 

 

 

O de 45 anos Rivera (41-6-1, 24 Kos) xa perdeu máis de 30 libras, agora dentro de catro libras do seu peso contraído, desde que comezou a adestrar a principios deste ano. Titulara en contra Rubén “Guerreiro Moderno” Galván (27-26-4, 10 Kos) no evento principal de oito asaltos.

 

 

 

En 1997, Rivera capturou a Organización Internacional de Boxeo (IBO) Título mundial de peso welter, parada Gilberto Flores na segunda rolda. Seis anos despois, viaxou a Alemaña para enfrontarse invicto, cidade natal favorito Michel Trabant (38-0) para a vacante Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (WBA) Campionato do Mundo de peso welter, no que Rivera gañou unha decisión a 12 xornadas e o cinto.

 

 

 

Diante de case 10,000 fans da cidade natal de Worcester, Rivera rematou a súa carreira no boxeo ao gañar unha decisión unánime en 12 asaltos 2006 sobre o campión defensor Alejandro García(25-1) para o título mundial de peso superwelter da AMB.

 

 

 

“A idea de volver ao ring comezou co meu fillo. A.J., e eu falo de perseguir a historia,” Rivera explicou. “Non somos capaces de xuntar iso agora mesmo (A.J. naceu con espina bífida e non puido conseguir a autorización médica a tempo para o mes de agosto. 17th mostrar.), pero polo meu traballo duro estes últimos seis meses, Sentín que era conveniente continuar coa miña loita.

 

 

 

“Granite Chin Promotions foi moi importante para asegurarse de que este espectáculo se realice da forma máis profesional posible.. Non vou pensar na nosa empresa de promoción (Jos e A.J. posúe e opera RPE Promotions Entertainment) tería sido capaz de sacar isto. Había que facer todas as negociacións e adestrarme do único xeito que sei, a nivel de campionato, sería demasiado para nós.”

 

 

 

Promocións de queixo de granito’ co-promotor Chuck Shearns engadido, “Cando Jose e mais eu comezamos a falar do seu anel de volta, Eu fun a última persoa en pensar que estaba tolo. Fomos amigos durante os seus días de campionato e sei o incriblemente comprometido e disciplinado que é Jose. Eu loitei na 49 anos, para non compararme co nivel no que estivo Jose, pero sei que se pode facer. O que todos deberían saber é o ben que se coidou Jose durante os seus trinta e corenta. Algunha vez pensei iso Chris (Traietti, Co-promotor de GCP) e estaría co-promocionando a remontada de Jose? Non, pero estou feliz de participar e apoiareino na medida en que queira levar isto. Estivo adestrando coma el 25 e Jose vai sorprender a algunhas persoas.”

 

 

 

Durante o título de Rivera reina, a diferenza doutros campións do mundo, tamén ocupou un traballo a tempo completo como funcionario xudicial no Tribunal de Xustiza de Massachusetts, un cargo en Worcester que aínda ocupa 17 anos despois. Entre traballar e formar, non importa as súas responsabilidades familiares, José consegue equilibrar todo na súa vida extremadamente ocupada.

 

 

 

“Digamos que fai unha axenda ocupada,” comentou Rivera. “Estou comprometido a coidar da miña familia e farei o que sexa necesario. Normalmente corro antes do traballo e adestro despois do traballo. Comezar cedo e rematar tarde fai que os días sexan moi ocupados, pero hai que facer o traballo. Agora, Estou no medio do período máis duro de adestramento. A semana da loita é máis sobre prepararse mentalmente e facer peso. Non hai nada que poidas facer a semana da loita para axudarche a poñerte en mellor forma.”

 

 

 

Rivera non se fai ilusións de que a súa remontada levará a outro gran título mundial. O plan é que teña dúas loitas máis para acadar un total de 50 como un pro, pero está tomando as cousas unha loita á vez, e aínda espera a súa próxima loita, provisionalmente previsto para finais deste ano, estará na mesma carta que o debut profesional do seu fillo.

 

 

 

Rivera pelexou por última vez 2011, tomando unha decisión de oito voltas Paulo Mpendo, no Mohegan Sun Arena de Connecticut. O Galvan probado na batalla, o seu agosto. 17th rival de Indiana, pelexou contra outros campións do mundo, Incluíndo Zab Judah, Julio Cesar Chavez, JR., Jorge Páez e Paul Spadafora.

 

 

 

“Escoito que vén pelexar e que lle gusta xogar un pouco para tentar meterse na cabeza do seu opoñente.,” Rivera engadiu. Concentreime en min, o meu tempo e foco no plan de xogo

 

 

 

“O adestramento para esta loita foi máis mental que calquera outra cousa. Eu puiden alcanzar o máximo rendemento en 45 adestrando como o fixen no momento da flor. O máis importante é iso, traballando co meu adestrador Sean Fitzgerald, Estiven concentrado en asegurarme de que o meu tempo mellore xa que pasaron sete anos desde a última vez que loitei.

 

 

 

“E, claro, sempre é unha gran sensación boxear diante dos seguidores da miña cidade natal. O seu apoio sempre é apreciado.”

 

 

 

O nome do evento é “Regreso a casa” porque seis loitadores en acción son de Worcester, incluíndo tres que nunca loitaron alí como profesionais.

 

 

 

Middleweight Kendrick Ball, JR. (9-1-2, 6 Kos) e peso mediano junior Khiary Grey (15-4, 11 Kos), ambos promovidos polo CES Boxing, loitará na casa en Worcester como profesionais por primeira vez nun par de combates de seis asaltos.
