Richie “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera finds new home in Orlando

Gadael sylw

Returns to ring Feb. 12fed in Orlando on Christy Martin-promoted card

ORLANDO, Fla. (Chwefror 4, 2021) – It seems only appropriate that undefeated cruiserweightRichie “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (18-0, 13 Kos) has found a new home in Orlando (FL), although his heart remains in his native Hartford (CT), since he followed his partner/head trainerTony Blanco there nearly six months ago,   

“I recently went to Universal Studios and it’s definitely Popeye-friendly,” the charismatic Rivera reported. “They had Popeye rides, souvenirs and novelties. I felt like it’s my part of town.”

Due to financial strains associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hartford Boxing Center (HBC) was closed by the state March 15 and it never reopened. Blanco and his family traveled south to the Sunshine State, where he opened the Orlando Boxing Club (OBC at 7335 Lake Underhill Road in Orlando, Florida).  Soon after “Popeye” packed his bags and joined Blanco.

“The business was bleeding, and I have a family to support,” Blanco explained. “We’ve more or less brought Hartford Boxing Center to Orlando, where there are so many opportunities for us. It is what it is, there was no other way to survive. We’ve turning a negative into a positive.

“It was a cool ride alongside the Hartford community. We were sad to announce the Hartford Boxing Center had closed its doors. We are deeply indebted to Hartford for giving us the opportunity to meet such a loving community that made us feel like family. We will miss each and every one there and, hopefully, we left our legacy there in good standing with everyone. We hope everybody stays safe, healthy and continues their goals and dreams The fight continues!"

Florida’s weather alone has advantages over Connecticut, in addition to no state tax, and “Popeye” has taken full advantage as he marches towards the top of the cruiserweight division.

“I’ve taken it all in,” he commented. “Down here I’m able to run in weather when it isn’t freezing or in the snow, although that did make me more of an animal. But it was harder training in Hartford and there are so many reasons not to run and train there. Not in Orlando where I have nothing but quality runs and workouts. I get solid sparring here in Orlando with partners who have different styles and I EVEN went over to the gym owned by my idol, Roy Jones, Jr, in Pensacola.

“It’s especially difficult being here during the pandemic with so many of my family and friends back in Hartford. I’m still showed a lot of love back there where I have my roots. Florida is awesome, but I still have a lot of living left, so we’ll need to wait to see what’s ahead for me in the future.”

Yn y cyfamser, Rivera and Blanco found a strong ally and friend in Hall of FamerChristy Martin, who is now a boxing promoter in Florida and North Carolina. Rivera’s last fight was this past August 15fed in Daytona Beach (FL) on a Martin-promoted card, in which he knocked outRyan Soft in the opening round.

“Popeye” is scheduled to fight on her February 12fed show in Orlando against veteran Mexican fighterUlises “El Cirillo” Jimenez (24-26-1, 18 Kos) in an 8-round featured bout.

“This will be the fifth time I’ve fought on one of her cards,” Rivera noted. “She’s awesome. Boxing is a little cutthroat, but I felt comfortable with Christy right away. She doesn’t need to have me fighting on her cards. I’m blessed to have her continue to watch after me. I’m also blessed to have a promoter likeJoe DeGuardia (Seren Bocsio), especially during this pandemic, because he doesn’t have to let me fight on cards that he doesn’t promote like on February 12th.”

The feeling between Martin and Team Popeye is mutual. “I really like Popeye and Tony,” Martin offered. “He understands that this isn’t all about fighting. Fighters need to market themselves. and everybody here loves Popeye. After each fight he goes to talk to fans, especially kids, sign autographs for them and pose for pictures. There’s nothing like being here in Florida. It’s the best for training. Good weather all around and coming from the north like him, no excuses to work-out because of the cold. He’s improved the basic stuff since I first watched him. He’s keeping his head up, improved his power, and is more relaxed in the ring. He’s certainly headed in the right direction. He hasn’t been in any battles and I think he’s getting ready to take a big leap into a title fight.”

Rivera has benefitted from being promoted by DeGuardia in several ways, including his role as a regular sparring partner for Star Boxing light heavyweightJoe Smith, Jr. (26-3, 21 Kos), who is preparing for a Feb. 13fed ornest gydaMaxim Vlasov (45-3 (26 Kos) airing on ESPN live from The Bubble in Las Vegas. They will fight for the vacant World Boxing Organization Light Heavyweight Championship of the World.

“’Popeye’ is a colorful character and an exciting fighter who has a very entertaining style,” DeGuardia remarked. “He has a great way about him.”

When asked about putting “Popeye” on Christy’s show, DeGuardia stated: “Every decision is unique and made with a view towards what’s best for both the promoter and fighter. Does it make sense? Is it good for Star Boxing and our fighters?  If it fits, I have no problem having our fighter on somebody else’s card. This makes sense for everybody. Christy gets a good, featured fighter on her card, hopefully ‘Popeye’ gets a win, and our fighter stays busy. While in this COVID-19 pandemic a few good wins for your fighter is a good thing,"

His heart may always be in Hartford, but ‘Popeye” Rivera has found a new home in Orlando, and his boxing career continues to rise.

NUTMEG POWER PREVAILS CONNECTICUT PROSPECTS RICHIE RIVERA & ANTHONY LAUREANO REMAIN UNDEFEATED

Gadael sylw

“NEW ENGLAND EXPLOSION” OFFICIAL RESULTS

SPRINGFIELD, Offeren. (Rhagfyr 13, 2019) — Rising Connecticut starsRICHIE “POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN” RIVERA ac“ACTION“ ANTHONY LAUREANO both remained undefeated with impressive performance tonight on a solid “New England Explosion” card in front of an enthusiastic crowd at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.

“New England Explosion,” presented byJOE DEGUARDIA’S STAR BOXING, sponsored by MGM Springfield, aired live in a first for New England Sports Network (NESN), and streamed worldwide (excluding N.E.) arwww.FITE.TV.

Heavy-handed Rivera (bellach 16-0, 12 Kos) took his power up to the cruiserweight division against “MIGHTY” JOE JONES(bellach 11-2, 8 Kos), who unexplainably kept his hands very low, as “Popeye” pounded him to the head and body in the main event. Rivera hit Jones with everything but the kitchen sink, in what looked like batting practice at times, although “Popeye” failed to register a stoppage for only the third time in 16 pro fights. .

It was a rough, physical fight that got chippy early with both fighters exchanging trash talk and showboating. Rivera, who hails from Hartford, pressed the action throughout the fight against a defensive Jones, who switched to a peep-a-boo style in the later rounds.

“I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach….toot, toot! My coach kept telling me to relax but, yn onest, I was putting on a show. More or less, I was acting,” Rivera talked about the roughhousing. “He was tough. My team said to box. The plan wasn’t to go for a knockout. I threw some big shots just to let him know.

“I’m so happy to have had my seventh fight this year. I’ve been active and I’m undefeated. I try to put on a show for the fans and be a role model.”

Yn y digwyddiad cyd-main, Laureano (bellach 13-0, 4 Kos), a 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion from nearby East Hartford, CT., defeated Texas super lightweightANGEL “AZTEC WARRIOR” HERNANDEZ (17-14-2, 11 Kos) in a toe-to-toe battle from the opening . This TV-friendly fight could have been fought in a proverbial phone booth. Laureano, as usual, was relentless in his attack, systematically breaking down his opponent with strong body work of his own, as well as seemingly landing uppercuts and left hooks at will.

Laureano took control in the second and never let up against a game Hernandez, pwy, like Laureano, never stopped throwing punches. Eventually, Laureano won an 8-round unanimous decision in a wildly entertaining, highly competitive clash.

“It was beautiful,” Laureano commented. “I like wars, my trainers don’t. I let my emotions take over. It was a beautiful fight, er bod, all action and the people loved it. But I fought his fight. I did adapt and showed some of my boxing ability at some points.

“He’s experienced and came in confident. He kept coming; ei fod yn anodd. This will build me into a better fighter. I did a lot of good things. The goal is to learn from every fight, Gwnaf, and we’ll go back to the drawing board.”

Danbury, CT super lightweightOMAR “THE BEAST” BORDOY (bellach 10-1, 3 Kos) opened the NESN broadcast with a masterful display of boxing, winning all eight rounds on each of the three judges’ scorecards for an 8-round unanimous decision against late replacementDIEUMERCI ”ELEPHANT MAN” NZAU (bellach 11-11, 8 Kos). 

Bordoy effectively and consistently beat Nzau to the punch, moved well inside the ropes, and never put himself in dire straits. “It felt good,” Bordoy said after the fight. “The game plan was to out-box him, use my job, and not take any unnecessary chances. I followed the game plan and came out with an easy victory.

“I knew he had some power and he caught me with a good punch early. I watched some tape of him and listened to my trainers. I want to get back in the ring as soon as possible.”

In a battle of welterweight southpaws, ffefryn tref enedigolDERRICK “BAD BOY” WHITLEY II (6-1-1) suffered a cut over his right eye from an accidental headbutt byJERMAINE CORLEY (3-8, 1 KO) during the second round. The ringside physician halted the action after two rounds and the fight, by rule, was a “no decision.”

Yn yr ornest agoriadol y noson, Hartford welterweight prospectJEFFREY TORRES(bellach 6-0, 4 Kos) cadw ei record diguro yn gyfan, pitching a shutout for a 6-round unanimous decision over Brockton, MA journeymanANTONIO CHAVES FERNANDEZ(bellach 9-40-4, 3 Kos).   Torres out-boxed Fernandez, who was buzzed several times, o'r dechrau i'r diwedd.

Pwysau trwm golau BrasilLEANDRO “BUSCAPE” SILVA (2-3, 1 KO) ruined the homecoming for local fighterANGEL ‘ THE BLACK RICAN” VAZQUEZ (0-2) In the walk-out bout, Silva trapped Vazquez on the ropes in the fourth round. Vazquez suffered a standing eight count, but the referee halted the action, and awarded Silva a win by technical knockout.

Quincy, Offeren. (Ebrill 2, 2018) — This Saturday night’s “Fight Night at The Zone”, Cyflwynir gan hyrwyddiadau ên gwenithfaen, has been strengthened by the late addition of hot prospect Irvin Gonzalez to a card already showcasing some of the best young, professional boxers in New England.

 

 

 

Granite Chin Promotions is on a mission to establish a fan-base in the Granite State, providing a fan friendly, full entertainment experience at The Sports Zone in Derry, New Hampshire.

The addition of Gonzalez with a card featuring some of tomorrow’s stars such as Hartford, CT light heavyweight champion Richard “Popeye Y Sailor Man” Rivera (6-0, 5 Kos) means two of the top three prospects in New England will be in action this Saturday in Derry. And several other promising boxers will also be in action. Rivera faces Randy “The Rattler” Campbell, of Ohio, yn y digwyddiad cyd-ymddangos chwe-rownd.

 

 

 

“We are happy to have Irvin on our show,” co-promoter Chuck Shearns Dywedodd. “His last fight fell out and we are always happy to help local fighters, especially someone of Irvin’s caliber. We have five undefeated fighters on this show. They’re legitimate prospects with a lot of upside. Irvin, Richie and Omar are starting to get national attention and New Hampshire fans are getting an early look at them. The veteran fighters on this show have a lot to fight for as well. ”

 

 

 

Dorchester, MA lightweight Gabriel Duluc (11-3, 2 Kos) headlines in the eight-round main event against Dallas veteran Larry “Slomoshun” Smith.

Richard “Popeye the Sailor Man” Rivera
Good to finish because he eats his spinach
Russell Kimber wins pro debut
HAMPTON, N.H. (Rhagfyr 9, 2017) — Colorful light heavyweight prospect Richard “Popeye Y Sailor Man” Rivera aros yn undefeated (5-0, 4 Kos), cyn-filwr Roberto “Yr Hen” Valenzuela, last night (Sad) yn y “Rumble at The RIM” prif ddigwyddiad, Cyflwynir gan hyrwyddiadau ên gwenithfaen, at The RIM Sports Complex in Hampton, New Hampshire.
Rivera, fighting out of Hartford (CT), controlled the action from the opening bell against his battle-tested opponent from Mexico, who had a tremendous experience advantage in his 147fed pro fight, 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 Mike Ryan 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, rydym yn teulu.
“I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. Nesaf, 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 Shearns Dywedodd, “despite some things going against us like tonight’s weather. We’re grateful for the support we received from Hampton, New Hampshire, 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, MA Russell Kimber had a promising pro debut against tough Nathan Schulte 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. Nawr, 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 Mike “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 Nodweddion Chris (25-5, 19 Kos) all-ddosbarth 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 Ryan “Y Tywysog Pwyleg” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 Kos), fighting out of Quincy (MA), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight Francisco “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 Chris “Sandman” Thomas (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.

Gonzaga stalked the southpaw Santiago, landing some hard shots in the opening round. The heavy-handed Gonzaga picked up the pace in the third and his upset-minded opponent responded in a positive fashion. Both fighters exchanged freely in the fourth and final round, neither was hurt during the contest, and Gonzaga was awarded a win by four-round majority decision.
“I thought I’d be more relaxed in the ring like I had been in the gym,” Gonzaga said. “I did my best and came away with a victory. I was too safe in the third round. My punches were much strong and a lot of his punches I blocked with my gloves. This was really great! heno”

Gonzaga (L) defeated Santiago
“I felt good and gave it my all,” Santiago remarked. “He hit me with some shots and gave ’em back. Not only does he have a big nose (“Ymosodwyd”), he has a strong, big head, hefyd.”

“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” Esboniodd Rivera. “I saw that he had his left down and caught him with an uppercut. I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach.”
New Haven junior middleweight Edwin Sosa (11-2-2, 4 Kos) overcame at 15-pound disadvantage, o leiaf, en route to a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Anthony “The Animal” Everett (1-7), of Rowley (MA).

Hydref 28 yng Nghaerwrangon, MA
WORCESTER, Offeren. (Hydref 19, 2017) – Pennod nesaf cyn-heriwr teitl pwysau trwm UFC Gabriel “Ymosodwyd” Gonzaga dechrau mis Hydref 28fed pan mae'n gwneud ei début bocsio proffesiynol yn ymladd ar y “Dyfodol Lloegr Newydd 4” Cerdyn, y pedwerydd a'r olaf 2017 rhandaliad o'r gyfres bocsio proffesiynol poblogaidd, “Dyfodol Newydd Lloegr”, i'w gynnal yng Nghanolfan DCU (Neuadd Arddangos) yng Nghaerwrangon, Massachusetts.
“Dyfodol Lloegr Newydd 4” yn cael ei gyflwyno gan Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), sy'n eiddo ac yn cael ei weithredu gan sydd wedi ymddeol deirgwaith, bencampwr byd dau is-adran Jose Antonio Rivera a'i fab, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
Mae'r Gonzaga, 38 oed, yn dysgu Ju-Jitsu o Frasil (BJJ) yng Nghaerwrangon ac yn byw gerllaw yn Llwydlo (MA). Ymladdwr corfforol mawreddog, yr 6′ 2″, 260-pwys Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 Kos, 9 SUBs, 1 Rhagfyr), dal 4fed gwregys du gradd yn BJJ. Uchafbwynt ei yrfa MMA oedd yn y 2007 UFC 70, a gynhaliwyd ym Manceinion, Y Deyrnas Unedig, yn yr hwn y curodd allan K-1, Pencampwr Balchder a Chynnydd Mirko Cro Cop gyda chic pen yn y rownd agoriadol, lleoli Gonzaga ar gyfer ei her aflwyddiannus o Bencampwr Pwysau Trwm UFC Randy Couture yn ei frwydr nesaf.

(L-R) – Gonzalez creigiog & Gabriel Gonzaga
Mae gan Gonzago wrthwynebydd newydd ar gyfer ei ornest pedair rownd, Mae Tampa yn pro-debuting Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, sydd hefyd â chefndir pro MMA.
“Rwy'n hoffi heriau yn fy mywyd,” Esboniodd Gonzaga pam ei fod yn gwneud ei ymddangosiad cyntaf pro. “Rwy'n gosod nodau newydd oherwydd rwy'n hoffi bod yn gystadleuol mewn chwaraeon. Mae gen i hyfforddwr bocsio da a ddywedodd wrthyf y dylwn drio. BJJ oeddwn i (Brasil Jiu Jitsu-) pencampwr y byd a chystadleuydd teitl UFC. Mae gen i sgiliau bocsio da ac rwy'n bwriadu cynnal sioe dda. Mae gen i bŵer un dyrnu ac rwy'n taro'n galed.
“Dechreuais i baffio i mewn 2001 ac yn gweithio arno bob dydd am ddwy flynedd i ddysgu, ond wedyn roeddwn yn cystadlu yn MMA. Nawr, Rwy'n canolbwyntio ar focsio. Rwy'n credu mai bocsio yw'r rhan anoddaf o MMA. Rwy'n gwybod na allwch chi wneud camgymeriadau mewn bocsio a does dim amser i ymlacio. Yn MMA, Roeddwn i'n gallu ymlacio ychydig ar adegau mewn clinches, ond ni fydd y dyfarnwr yn caniatáu hynny mewn bocsio. Mae'n debyg y byddaf yn ymladd fwy nag unwaith ond dim gormod oherwydd fy oedran ac nid wyf mewn gwirionedd ar y lefel uchel o focsio fel yr oeddwn yn MMA.”
Prif hyfforddwr bocsio Gonzaga, Gonzalez creigiog, wedi bod yn gweithio gyda nifer o ymladdwyr MMA, gan gynnwys Gonzaga, am fwy na degawd i'w helpu i wella eu sgiliau trawiadol. Mae Gonzalez yn cyfaddef yn rhydd fod Gonzaga yn gwybod sut i focsio cyn iddo ddechrau gweithio gydag ef, credydu hyfforddwr Muay Thai Gonzaga, a daeth y bocsio hwnnw'n naturiol i'r Brasil mawr sydd wedi gwneud addasiad hawdd o'r Octagon i'r cylch. Mae Gonzalez hefyd yn teimlo bod gwahaniaethau lleoli coesau ar gyfer diffoddwyr MMA yn newid i focsio, o ran taflu dyrnodiau priodol, yn cael ei orbwysleisio braidd.
“Yn bocsio,” Dywedodd Gonzalez, “mae diffoddwyr angen eu dwylo fel eu coesau a'u penelinoedd mewn MMA. Mae pellter ac amseriad yn bwysicach na lleoliad eu coesau a'u traed. Nid yw Gabriel yn hoffi sparring gyda phenwisg, felly, mae ei sparring yn debycach i ymladd go iawn. Mae wedi bod yn boeth gyda rhai ergydion go iawn ond mae wedi ymateb yn dda. Mae bob amser yn mynd i gael cyfle dyrnwr ac mae'n dwyllodrus oherwydd nid yw'n edrych mor gyflym ag y mae.
“Wnaethon ni ddim cynllunio dim byd mewn gwirionedd ond cafodd y cyfle da hwn. Mae bob amser wedi bod eisiau troi'n broffesiynol fel paffiwr a mynd oddi yno. Mae Gabriel yn wrandäwr da sy'n parhau i weithio'n galed i wella. Pan ddaeth yn gyntaf i baffio, cafodd ei gontractio gan yr UFC, ond dechreuon ni siarad amdano'n bocsio ar ôl i'r UFC ei ryddhau. Roedd yn adnabod Jose oddi wrtho yn dysgu bocsio. Nid yw Gabriel yn gwneud hyn am yr arian. Mae'n foi cystadleuol oedd eisiau rhoi cynnig ar focsio.”
