HAMPTON, N.H. (දෙසැම්බර් 9, 2017) — Colorful light heavyweight prospect රිචඩ් “Popeye මෙම නාවිකයා මිනිසා” රිවේරා තුන් වේලම රැඳී (5-0, 4 Kos), ප්රවීණ රොබර්ටෝ “පරණ” Valenzuela, last night (Sat.) දී “Rumble at The RIM” ප්රධාන උත්සවය, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at The RIM Sports Complex in Hampton, නිව් හැම්ප්ෂයර්.
රිවේරා, fighting out of Hartford (සී.ටී.), controlled the action from the opening bell against his battle-tested opponent from Mexico, who had a tremendous experience advantage in his 147වන ගැති සටන, compared to Rivera’s fifth.
Valenzuela spent most of the time on the ropes, while Rivera teed-off on him, until a beautiful placed left hook by Rivera decked Valenzuela, who failed to get up until after referee මයික් රයන් completed the 10-count.
A busload of Rivera’s fans drove five hours from Hartford through a snowstorm, arriving just before Rivera entered the ring. “That means a lot to me,” Rivera smiled as he spoke about his fans. “We’re more than a gym, අප පවුලේ ඉන්නේ.
“I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. ඊළඟ, I want to win the New England title. It’s vacant and I want it!”
“This was our first show in New Hampshire and I consider it a success,” co-promoter Chuck Shearnගේ පවසයි, “despite some things going against us like tonight’s weather. We’re grateful for the support we received from Hampton, නිව් හැම්ප්ෂයර්, the commission and local businesses. They worked with us and we can’t wait to return.”
The son and nephew of multiple-time world kickboxing champions – father Tommy and uncle – worked his corner — Peabody, එම්.ඒ. Russell Kimber had a promising pro debut against tough නේතන් ෂුල්ට් in a match contested at a 185-pound catchweight. The 32-year-old Kimber, who was the crowd favorite having lived several years in New Hampshire, overcame the determined Schulte for a hard-fought victory by way of a four-round majority decision.
“I was a little nervous with this being my first time in a pro ring,” Kimber admitted after his fight. “I hadn’t been in a ring for 1 ½ years and there was some ring rust. දැන්, I know what I need to good, and I’ll be a lot better next fight. This was my first camp and I’ve learned a lot. I’d like to stay busy, come back in late January, early February.”
Undefeated Whitman, MA junior welterweight prospect මයික් “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr.charged across the ring, unloading a powerful right that immediately sent Bardraiel Smith to the canvas. Smith somehow got to his feet but Ohan quickly ended Smith’s night, only 30-second into round one, as referee Ryan waved off the action.
New England cruiserweight champion and the show’s co-promoter, Iraq War veteran Chris Traietti (25-5, 19 Kos) outclassed Fabian Valdez en route to a win by second-round knockout in a stay-busy fight to close out 2017. In a non-title fight contested at a 185-pounds catchweight, the Quincy, MA-based Traietti floored his game Mexican opponent with a straight right midway through the opening round, closing the show in the second round with a series of unanswered punches.
The only New Hampshire native on the card, Claremont junior middleweight Ricky Ford(1-1-1) won his first pro fight, taking a lop-sided, four-round unanimous decision over pro MMA fighter Andy Aiello, who made his pro boxing debut.
In another stay-busy fight, former world-rated රයන් “පෝලන්ත කුමරු” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 Kos), fighting out of Quincy (එම්.ඒ.), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight ෆ්රැන්සිස්කෝ “El Mono” Medal. Kielczweski hit Medal with a with a lethal left to the body, leaving Medal in obvious pain and unable to rise before the 10-count.
New Jersey middleweight ක්රිස් “Sandman” තෝමස් (7-0-1, 4 Kos) kept his unbeaten pro record intact with a second-round stoppage of Demetrius Thomas. Thomas used a rapid-fire combination to drop Thomas, who beat the count, but he was getting hammered when referee Ryan stopped the fight late in the second round.
