THE CHAMP IS BACK: referee Bob Benoit (L) and Jose Antonio Rivera

Вустер, Маса. (Жнівень 19, 2018) – Seven years after his last fight, “Gallo” Хасэ Антоніо Рывера returned to the ring in grand fashion last night (Субота) у загалоўку “Вяртанне на радзіму, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment, у The Palladium ў Вустере, Масачусэтс.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Rivera (42-6-1, 25 КО), 35 pounds lighter than he was in February when he started training, packed the house in his hometown, fully entertained his supportive fans. Трохразовы, two-division world champion Rivera pressured Larry “Slomoshun: Каваль (10-38-1, 7 КО) 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.

 

 

 

У рэшце рэшт, 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. Я выдатна сябе адчуваю. 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).”

 

 

 

Хасэ Антоніо Рывера (R) had a successful comeback fight

 

 

 

У са-прыкметах падзеі, Worcester super middleweight Кендрыка Болль, Малодшы. (10-1-2, 7 КО) demolished Фабіян “El 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 Шэры (16-4, 12 КО) і Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 КО) 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 halted the action.

 

 

Southbridge, MA junior middleweight Вільфрэда “Sucaro” язычнік (5-0, 3 КО) застаўся непераможаным, using a relentless body attack to drop Engelberto “Guarura” Валенсуэла (11-15, 3 КО) тры разы, the last ending the fight midway through the third round.

 

 

 

Springfield, MA junior lightweight Joshua Orta (1-0, 1 KO) turned in an impressive pro debut in a barn-burner that ended when (1-8-1, 1 KO), of 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 Браян “The Brick” Абрагам (6-31-2, 6 КО) у два разы ў другім туры, на шляху да аднагалосным рашэннем перамогу.

 

 

 

In the opening bout of the night, 45-гадоў Jose Angel “KO” Ортис (5-14-1, 2 КО) ўпаў Patrick Leal (0-5) 10-seconds into the fight, once more later in the opening round, and stopped him in the second.

“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera to headline “Вяртанне на радзіму”

Пакінуць каментар
Чэмпіён вярнуўся!
Жнівень 17 у The Palladium ў Вустере, Масачусэтс
“Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald

 

Вустер, Маса. (Ліпеня 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “Gallo” Jose Rivera returns to the ring August 17 у загалоўку “Вяртанне на радзіму”, прадстаўлена Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЭ), у The Palladium ў Вустере, Масачусэтс.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Рывэра (41-6-1, 24 КО) has already lost more than 30 фунты, now within four pounds of his contracted weight, since he started training earlier this year. He will headline against Ruben “Modern Day Warrior” Galvan (27-26-4, 10 КО) in the eight-round main event.

 

 

 

У 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (IBO ў) World welterweight title, прыпынак Gilberto Flores у другім туры. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, родны любімы Michel Trabant (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) World Welterweight Championship, in which Rivera won a 12-round decision and the belt.

 

 

 

In front of nearly 10,000 hometown fans in Worcester, Rivera capped his boxing career by winning a 12-round unanimous decision in 2006 over defending champion Алехандра Гарсія(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.

 

 

 

“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. Эй-Джэй, and I talking about chasing history,” Рывэра патлумачыў. “We are not able to put that together right now (A.J. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17й show.), but because of my hard work these last six months, I felt that it was only fitting to continue with my fight.

 

 

 

“Granite Chin Promotions has been very instrumental to make sure that this show is put together in the most professional manner possible. I won’t think our promotional company (Jos and A.J. own and operate RPE Promotions Entertainment) would have been able to pull this off. All the negotiations had to be done and me training the only way I know how, at a championship level, would have been too much for us to handle.”

 

 

 

Акцыі з гранітнага падбародка’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns дабаўленай, “When Jose and I started talking about his ring return, I was the last person to think he was crazy. We were friends during his championship days and I know how incredibly committed and disciplined Jose is. Я ваяваў у 49 гадоў, not to compare myself to the level Jose has been on, but I know that it can be done. What everyone should know is how well Jose has taken care of himself during his thirties and into his forties. Did I ever think that Крыс (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? Ня, but I’m happy to be involved and I will support him as far as he wants to take this. He’s been training like he’s 25 and Jose’s going to surprise some people.”

 

 

 

During Rivera’s title reigns, unlike other world champions, he also held a full-time job as a court officer in the Massachusetts Trial Court, a position in Worcester that he still holds 17 years later. Between working and training, never mind his family responsibilities, Jose somehow manages to balance everything in his extremely busy life.

 

 

 

“Let’s just say it makes for a busy schedule,” Rivera remarked. “I am committed to taking care of my family and will do whatever it takes. I usually run before work and train after work. Starting early and finishing late makes for busy days, but the job needs to get done. Зараз, I’m in the middle of the hardest period of training. The week of the fight is more about preparing mentally and making weight. There’s nothing you can do the week of the fight to help you get into better shape.”

 

 

 

Rivera isn’t under any illusions that his comeback will lead to another major world title. The plan is for him to have two more fights to reach a total of 50 а пра, but he’s taking things one fight at a time, and he still hopes his next fight, tentatively slated for later this year, will be on the same card as his son’s pro debut.

 

 

 

Rivera last fought in 2011, taking an eight-round decision over Paul Mpendo, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. The battle-tested Galvan, his Aug. 17й opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Including Заб Джуда, Хуліа Сезар Чавес-, Малодшы., Jorge Paez і Пол Спадафора.

 

 

 

“I hear he comes to fight and that he likes to fool around a bit to try and get into his opponent’s head,” Rivera added. I’ve concentrated on me, my timing and focus on the game plan

 

 

 

“Training for this fight has been more mental than anything else. I have been able to reach peak performance at 45 training like I did in my prime. The most important thing is that, working with my trainer Sean Fitzgerald, I’ve been focused on making sure my timing gets better since it’s been seven years since I last fought.

 

 

 

“І, вядома, it’s always a great feeling to box in front of my hometown fans. Their support is always appreciated.”

 

 

 

The name of the event is “Вяртанне на радзіму” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.
