WORCESTER, Missa. (Febrer 11, 2018) – Undefeated prospect Richard “Popeye el mariner” Rivera rematada Kevin “El New England Bully” Cobbs a la tercera ronda, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “de Nova Anglaterra Futur 5” targeta, presentat per Rivera Promocions Entreteniment, al Palladium a Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 KOs) fought once again in front of his large, traveling fanbase from Hartford, Connecticut, 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, si, 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,” Rivera ha explicat. “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.
En l'esdeveniment co estel·lar, favorit local 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 artista” artista (5-7-1, 3 KOs), de Danbury, Connecticut, upset intrastate rival Jose “Rated 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 “el Sucaro” pagà (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. A la segona ronda, pagà, 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 “Noi dolent” 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), de Bridgeport, Connecticut, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA light heavyweight Rayo “bazuca” 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.

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “de Nova Anglaterra Futur 5”

“de Nova Anglaterra Futur 5”
Febrer. 10 a Worcester, Massachusetts

WORCESTER, Missa. (Gener 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, welter júnior Omar Bordoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10º a “de Nova Anglaterra Futur 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), al Palladium a Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alejandro “el Bravo” cop de gràcia (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. “Un dia, 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 i Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Ara, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker o 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 — gerent A. J. Galante, entrenador en cap Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi i 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 en la quarta ronda.
We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” promotor José 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.

CITES DE CONFERÈNCIES DE PREMSA
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 fanssupport. 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: “Aquesta és una gran oportunitat per a mi. 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. No parpellejar, 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. Victòria, 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 en dos anys quan vaig rebre la trucada (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: “Estic 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.

Febrer. 10 a Worcester, Massachusetts

WORCESTER, Missa. (Gener 8, 2018) – Un dels més populars prospectes de la boxa de Nova Anglaterra, invicta Hartford (Connecticut) pes semipesado Richard “Popeye el mariner” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOs), encapçalarà el seu tercer espectacle Dissabte nit, Febrer 10, al Palladium a Worcester, Massachusetts.
En la cinquena entrega de la “Futur de Nova Anglaterra” sèrie, presentat per Rivera Promocions Entreteniment (RPE), els 27 anys d'edat, Rivera es reuneix Kevin “Kray 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOs), lluitant fora de Burlington (Vermont), pel vacant Federació Universal Boxing (UBF) Títol de Nova Anglaterra en l'esdeveniment principal de vuit assalts.
Rivera, qui era un 2016 campió del Torneig de Rocky Marcià, ve d'una sensacional segona ronda eliminatòria de 146 veterans de la baralla Roberto Valenzuela el desembre passat 9 a Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Estic molt emocionat de tenir Richie boxa pel títol UBF Nova Anglaterra tan d'hora en la seva carrera professional,”” dit promotor José Antonio Rivera, el retirat 3-temps, 2-campió del món de la divisió. “Aquesta és la tercera vegada que hem tingut el privilegi de lluitar en una de les nostres targetes. Va lluitar en l'esdeveniment principal del nostre últim concert (octubre) en el DCU Center. Rivera es veu millor i més tallant cada vegada que el miro lluita. Veig grans coses per a ell venir. Ell té les eines i la disciplina un entrenador busca i un boxejador necessita per convertir-se en campió del món. El cel és el límit per a Richard i, per ara, estem agraïts a jugar una petita part per ajudar a desenvolupar la seva carrera professional.”
Rivera ha comercialitzat amb èxit el seu personatge de Popeye durant la seva jove carrera en la boxa professional, portant una gorra de mariner al ring amb un penjoll tradicional tub de Popeye-com a la boca. “Hi ha diverses raons per al meu pseudònim, 'Popeye', però quan jo era molt jove,” Rivera ha explicat, “Tenia anormalment grans avantbraços. Només em va quedar gravada a través dels anys, quan la gent es referia a mi al gimnàs, pel que m'he trobat amb ell. Estic portant de tornada a la vida amb paciència Hartford, tota Nova Anglaterra, amb paciència, la perseverança i l'estil. Jo visc al moment.”
Tot i que no va guanyar molts premis o tornejos importants com un boxejador amateur, Rivera va guanyar una valuosa experiència boxa molts dels millors aficionats a Nova Anglaterra i en esdeveniments nacionals, així com espàrring amb els gustos dels ex campions del món Peter “Kid Xocolata” Quillin, Txad Dawson i Joe Smith, Jr. També va aprendre durant la seva permanència en el ring amb l'ex reptadors al títol Israel “més aviat” Cardona i John Scully.
“Em vaig prendre el meu temps es va convertir en professional, perquè no tenia un sistema de suport per aconseguir-me al següent nivell,” Rivera ha assenyalat. “estava insegura. Els comentaris positius que he rebut dels combatents que va discutir s'alimenta en la meva confiança. Ara, només en la meva sisena baralla professional, Em serà cap de cartell per tercera vegada, i lluitar pel meu primer títol. No puc gràcies als Rivera (Josep i el seu fill, A. J.) suficient per al que han fet per mi. Han cregut en mi.”
Primer, Rivera era una mica reticents a lluitar contra el més experimentat, però Cobb, després de fer algunes investigacions, va acceptar el repte. “Jo estava una mica nerviós al principi,” admetre. “Alguns estaven qüestionant si estava llest per entrar a lluitar contra ell. Vaig fer algunes investigacions: que no va tenir una carrera amateur més gran, o lluitat més de sis o vuit rondes de baralles que jo.
