Pressekonferanse SITATER
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 fans’ support. 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: “Dette er en stor mulighet for meg. 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. Ikke blink, 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. Win, 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 om to år when I got the call (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 Borðoy, 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: “Jeg er 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.”
Carlos Marraro, III: “I want to thank Rivera Promotions for the opportunity to showcase my talents February 10th. This will be my first fight on a Rivera Promotions card, but I’m familiar with most of the fighters on this card.”

WORCESTER, Mass. (Januar 8, 2018) – En av de mest populære New England boksing prospekter, ubeseiret Hartford (CT) Lett tungvekt Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (5-0, 4 KOs), vilje overskrift sin tredje utstilling Lørdag natt, Februar 10, på Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.
I den femte utgaven av “New England framtid” Serien, presentert av Rivera Kampanjer Underholdning (RPE), 27-åringen Rivera møter Kevin “Kray 2 UNKL” Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOs), bekjempelse av Burlington (VT), for den ledige Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) New England tittelen i åtte-round main event.
Rivera, som var en 2016 Rocky Marciano turnering mester, kommer av en sensasjonell andre-runde knockout av 146-kampen veteran Roberto Valenzuela dette siste desember 9 i Hampton, New Hampshire.
“Jeg er glad for å ha Richie boksing for UBF New England tittelen så tidlig i sin proffkarriere,”” nevnte promoter Jose Antonio Rivera, den trakk 3-tids, 2-divisjon verdensmester. “Dette er tredje gang vi har hatt det privilegium ham kjempe om en av våre kort. Han kjempet i den viktigste hendelsen i vår siste show (Oktober) på DCU-senteret. Rivera ser bedre og skarpere hver gang jeg ser ham kamp. Jeg ser store ting kommer for ham. Han har de verktøy og disiplin en trener ser etter, og en bokser må bli verdensmester. Himmelen er grensen for Richard og, for nå, Vi er takknemlige for å spille en liten del for å bidra til å utvikle sin profesjonelle karriere.”
Rivera har med hell markedsført sin Popeye persona under hans unge pro boksing karriere, iført en seiler hetten inn i ringen med en tradisjonell Pave lignende rør dinglende i munnen. “Det er flere grunner til mitt kallenavn, ‘Popeye’, men da jeg var veldig ung,” Rivera forklart, “Jeg hadde unormalt store underarmer. Det bare stakk med meg gjennom årene, når folk henvist til meg i gym, så jeg har kjørt med det. Jeg bringe livet tilbake til Hartford med tålmodighet, over hele New England, med tålmodighet, utholdenhet og stil. Jeg bor i øyeblikket.”
Selv om han ikke vant mange viktige priser eller turneringer som en amatør bokser, Rivera fått uvurderlig erfaring boksing mange av de beste amatører i New England og i nasjonale begivenheter, samt sparring med slike som tidligere verdensmestere Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin, Chad Dawson og Joe Smith, Jr. Han lærte også fra tid tilbrakt i ringen med tidligere tittel utfordrere Israel “heller” Cardona og John Scully.
“Jeg tok min tid å snu pro fordi jeg ikke har et system for å få meg til neste nivå,” Rivera bemerket. “Jeg var usikker. De positive tilbakemeldingene jeg fikk fra jagerfly jeg sparred matet inn i min tillit. Nå, i bare min sjette pro kamp, Jeg vil være headliner for tredje gang, og kjemper for min første tittel. Jeg kan ikke takke Riveras (Jose og hans sønn, AJ) nok for hva de har gjort for meg. De har trodd på meg.”
Først, Rivera var noe motvillig til å bekjempe de mer erfarne Cobb men, etter å gjøre noen undersøkelser, Han aksepterte utfordringen. “Jeg var litt nervøs først,” Han innrømmet. “Noen ble avhør om jeg var klar til å gå opp å bekjempe ham. Jeg gjorde noen undersøkelser: Han hadde ikke en større amatør karriere, eller kjempet flere seks eller åtte runder kamper enn meg. Og jeg var sparringspartner for første pro til å slå ham, Tyron Burris(TKO2 i 2012). Jeg er klar! Jeg er 27 og trenger en kamp som dette.”
Worcester to-tiden nasjonal amatør mester Bobby “BH3” Harris, III møter brasilianske mellom Saul Almeida (0-8-1) i fire-runde co verdig arrangement.
Fighting på undercard, alt i fire-runde bouts, stiger New Haven (CT) super mellomvekt prospektet Elvis Figueroa (3-0, 1 KO), en tre-tiden USA Boxing Nationals Championship gullvinner, vs. TBA, Worcester fjærvekt Andino Ranse (1-0) vs. Alex Montes (1-2-1), av Lawrence (MA), Danbury (CT) weltervekt Omar Borðoy, Jr. (2-0) vs. Puerto Rican inntrenger Alexander “El Bravo” Picot (2-4-1), Southbridge (MA) weltervekt Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Pagan (3-0, 1 KO) vs. pro-debuterte Nick Peralta, av Lawrence, ubeseiret Springfield (MA) Lett tungvekt Ray “bazooka” Graceski (5-0, 3 KOs). vs. Hartford pro-debuterte Paul Bansiak, Hartford junior mellomvekt Jose “Rated R” Rivera (4-1, 3 KOs) vs. Troy “Omar KO Artist” artist(4-7-1 (3 KOs), Spring weltervekt Derrick “Double Impact” Whitley (2-0) vs. Roger Blankenship (1-2), ubeseiret puertoricanske mellom Jelame Garcia (6-0, 6 KOs) vs. Brasilianske Rodrigo Almeida 1-7), Meriden (CT) bantamvekt James Aquino (6-0, 6 KOs), 2016 New England Golden Gloves mester, vs. Luis Rivera (3-3) og Hartford pro-debuterte weltervekt Joseph Goss vs. Seth Basler (0-3).

Richard “Popeye the Sailor Man” Rivera
Good to finish because he eats his spinach
Russell Kimber wins pro debut
HAMPTON, N-time. (Desember 9, 2017) — Colorful light heavyweight prospect Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera forble ubeseiret (5-0, 4 KOs), veteran Roberto “Gamle” Valenzuela, last night (Sat.) i “Rumble at The RIM” main event, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, 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 147th 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, vi er familie.
“I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. Neste, 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 sa, “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. Nå, 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 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 Ryan “Den polske Prince” 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.

NEF WILL TAKE FIGHT FANS TO THE PROMISED LAND THIS FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND

Legg igjen en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Juni 3, 2016) – It will be a celebration of all things Americana when New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée on Saturday, Juni 18, 2016. The wildly popular fight promotion will once again give fans a full night of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing action.

 

In the main event of the boxing portion of the fight card, Brandon “Cannon” Berry (11-1-1) will defend the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title against challenger James “The Motor City Bad Boy” Lester (10-9-1). The two fought to a draw on the judges’ scorecards this past April in Lewiston. They agreed to rematch with Berry’s title on the line. Denne gangen, men, there will be an odd number of rounds (seven to be exact) to make the chances of another draw very slim.

 

Also on the boxing portion of the card, former USA New England Middleweight Champion Russell “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour (13-2) og Casey “The Buzzsaw” Kramlich (4-0-1) from the Portland Boxing Club in Portland, Maine will both make their respective NEF Boxing debuts.

 

The professional MMA portion of the card will see Jesse “Viking” Erickson (6-5) return to the cage after his third unsuccessful attempt at capturing the lightweight title this past April. Erickson will have his work cut out for him in the form of the always tough Amos Collins (4-5) at a catchweight of 161-pounds.

 

Erickson’s teammate, Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (3-2), will also see action on the professional MMA card when he meets Brandon Bushaw (1-2) i en fjærvekt bout.

 

The amateur MMA card will be headlined by a flyweight title rematch as Ryan Burgess (2-0) defends against the former champion, and the athlete he took the title from, Dustin Veinott (4-4). Veinott’s loss to Burgess last fall via split decision put a stop to his four-fight win streak.

 

Also on the amateur card will be 46 år gammel Dr. Steve Bang, Sr. (1-1), a bariatric surgeon from Auburn, Maine. In an unplanned homage to Father’s Day, he will be joined on the fight card by his sons Steve Bang, Jr. (3-5),Shawn Bang (1-1), Skyler Bang (0-0) and foster son Conner Murphy (1-0).

HAITIAN SENSATION WILL MAKE NEF DEBUT ON JUNE 18

Legg igjen en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Mai 31, 2016) – The Androscoggin Bank Colisée has a storied history of professional boxing inside the arena’s four walls. På Juni 18, Russell “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour, Jr. (13-2, 6 KOs) will add the next chapter to that story when he enters the New England Fights (NEF) ring for the first time. Ved “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND,” Lamour will make his NEF debut in a middleweight bout against Mexican veteran Roberto “Gamle” Valenzuela (69-71-2, 56 KOs).

 

“Definitely excited to be making my NEF debut,” said Lamour. “NEF does a lot of shows here in Maine, and from what I hear it’s always a packed show. So I’m looking forward being on this card. I am excited about fighting at the Colisée ’cause I can then say that I fought in the same building that Muhammad Ali fought in and also that it’s right here at home in Maine. Fighting here at home again is always a great feeling, especially when you’re fighting in front of the people that support you the most. Can’t ask for anything better than that when fighting here in your backyard.”

 

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Lamour entered the Portland Boxing Club shortly after graduating from Deering High School in Portland, Maine. He had a stellar amateur boxing career, finishing with a record of 79-16. Among his numerous amateur accomplishments, Lamour was a five-time New England regional Golden Gloves champion. He competed in the semi-pro World Series of Boxing (WSB) where he was the number-one ranked middleweight in the Americas.

 

Lamour’s success carried over to the professional ranks where he won his first 11 endene. Over the course of that impressive run, Lamour would capture the vacant USA New England Middleweight Title with a TKO victory over Laatekwei Hammond (21-6) in Lamour’s hometown of Portland, Maine. Lamour has competed on ESPN’s Fredag Night Fights before a national audience. Forrige måned, he scored a TKO win over Borngod Washington (3-17) in Salem, New Hampshire. Lamour hopes to make it two in a row with a win over Valenzuela on Juni 18.

 

“He is a journeymen,” Lamour said of his upcoming opponent. “He’s been fighting for a while and has seen many different styles, but to me he’s just someone else that’s in my pathway that I have to beat to get to where I want to be, so I have to get him out of my way.”

 

Roberto Valenzuela is no stranger to Maine fight fans. He travelled from his home in Sonora, Mexico to Lewiston, Maine last fall to battle Brandon “Cannon” Berry (11-1-1). Valenzuela would lose the bout via unanimous decision, but he impressed all in attendance with his gritty performance, roughing up Berry and cutting him above the eye in the process. Valenzuela has faced the likes of former world champions Andre Berto (31-4, 24 KOs) og Steve Forbes (35-14, 11 KOs) og nåværende verdensmester Zahir Raheem (35-3, 21 KOs). He held the Mexican Pacific Coast Super Featherweight Title from 2003 til 2007.

 

“I am very excited to come back to Maine and fight again,” sa Valenzuela gjennom en overs. “I love New England, and I’ve fought in Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and Rhode Island during the course of my career. I’ve also worked corners in Connecticut and been pulled over for speeding in New Hampshire, so that must count for something. The last time I was in Maine, I busted open Brandon Berry’s eye and waged a bloody war. I’m ready to do the same with Russell Lamour. I hope he’s ready too.”

 

NEF returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine på Juni 18, 2016 med “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.” Tickets for “NEF 24” start at just $25 og er i salg nå på www.TheColisee.com eller ved å ringe Colisée billettkontoret på207.783.2009 x 525.

TIDLIGERE MEKSIKANSK CHAMPION å teste BERRY November 21 I Lewiston

Legg igjen en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Oktober 14, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, avholder sitt neste arrangement, “NEF XX: A History of Violence” på Lørdag, November 21, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – mixed-kampsport- (MMA) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. Tidligere i dag, the promotion announced the main event of the boxing portion of the fight card. Reigning Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “Cannon” Berry (9-1, 6 KOs) vil møte Roberto “Gamle” Valenzuela (73-69-2, 56 KOs) i en åtte-runde weltervekt konkurranse.

 

Berry vant Nordøst Junior weltervekt Tittel ett år siden i Lewiston med et enstemmig vedtak seier over Eric Palmer (6-8-3, 1 KO). The title was the first in the professional career of the standout from West Forks, Maine. Berry would, bare en måned senere, suffer his first loss in a bout in which he severely injured his shoulder early on. Following a successful surgery and months of rehab, Berry returnerte triumferende til ringen denne siste sommeren med en andre-runde teknisk knockout (WHO) vinne i Skowhegan, Maine.

 

“Jeg er veldig engstelig som alltid å gå tilbake i bokseringen på 21 novemberi Lewiston,” uttalte Berry. “Det er spennende å være med å kjempe for min tiende profesjonell seier. I’m honored to have been invited back to the Colisee to headline another Pro Boxing card. I want to thank NEF for making this possible for me, og håper å ha en actionfylt, competitive fight like we had in October 2014. A lot has changed for me in my boxing career, og jeg ser frem til å vise alle mine fans mine forbedringer. Så langt som min motstander, den mest erfarne en å date, Roberto Valenzuela, det vil være en god test for meg samtidig gi opp størrelse og erfaring. Vi prøvde å lage en kamp med et par forskjellige gutter fra området, men var ikke i stand til å. Min jobb er å trene hardt og være klar for den som de satt på den andre siden av ringen, en runde av gangen.”

 

Valenzuela is about as much of a veteran as one will find in a boxing ring. Having begun his professional career in early 1992, Valenzuela fikk til en fantastisk 14-0 start, konkurrerer rundt hans hjem delstaten Sonora, Mexico. Among the opponents Valenzuela has faced in his career are the likes of former world champions Andre Berto (30-4, 23 KOs) og Steve Forbes (35-14, 11 KOs) og nåværende verdensmester Zahir Raheem (35-3, 21 KOs). Valenzuela fought former lightweight world champion Jose Luis Castillo (66-13-1, 57 KOs) på undercard av en 1996 Joey Gamache (55-4, 38 KOs) og Julio Cesar Chavez (107-6-2, 86 KOs) bout i Anaheim, California. I tillegg, Valenzuela holdt den meksikanske stillehavskysten super fjærvekt tittel fra 2003 til 2007. He has the strongest pedigree of any opponent Berry has faced to date.

 

“Jeg har kjempet over hele USA, men aldri i Maine, så jeg gleder meg til å dra et sted jeg aldri har vært,” sa Valenzuela gjennom en overs. “Jeg har gjort dette siden han var valp. Jeg har blitt fortalt at han har VHS-kassetter til noen av mine kamper fra noen kort han teipet på TV da han var barn (ler). Thankfully, Jeg har video av ham mer nylig på Youtube. Han er ikke noe jeg ikke har sett før i en kamp eller i sparring. Jeg skal være klar.”

 

“Når Brandon signert på til "NEF XX’ fight card, Han var veldig klar på at han ville ha oss til å finne ham en motstander som har vært i ringen med den beste,” recalled NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Roberto presents a challenge unlike any other Brandon has faced to date. He has actively competed as a professional for nearly a quarter of a century. He hasn’t sat on a shelf either. He just fought this past spring and summer. Brandon Berry vil testes påNovember 21, make no mistake about it. But Brandon has recently been sparring several times a week all over New England with top-notch partners. He is coming into this bout as a whole new Brandon Berry, fast bestemt på å gjøre seg bemerket i boksing verden.”

 

New England Fights’ neste arrangement, “NEF XX: A History of Violence,” foregår på November 21, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. The event will mark the first time in Maine history a mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event and a professional boxing event have taken place together on the same show.
