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

ВОРЦЕСТЕР,, Маса. (Август 19, 2018) – Seven years after his last fight, “Галло” Хосе Антонио Ривера returned to the ring in grand fashion last night (Субота) да наслова “Повратак кући, presented by Granite Chin Promotions in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment, ат тхе Палладиум ин Ворцестер, Масачусетс.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

Коначно, 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. Одлично се осећам. 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).”

 

 

 

Хосе Антонио Ривера (Р) had a successful comeback fight

 

 

 

У сарадњи-феатуред догађај, Worcester super middleweight Кендрицк Балл, Јр. (10-1-2, 7 КОс) demolished Фабијан “El Lobo” Валдез (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 Gray (16-4, 12 КОс) и Antonio Chaves Fernandez (9-34, 4 КОс) 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.

 

 

соутхбридге, MA junior middleweight Вилфредо “Суцаро” паган (5-0, 3 КОс) остала непоражена, using a relentless body attack to drop Engelberto “Guarura” Валензуела (11-15, 3 КОс) три пута, the last ending the fight midway through the third round.

 

 

 

спрингфиелд, MA junior lightweight Joshua Orta (1-0, 1 КО) turned in an impressive pro debut in a barn-burner that ended when (1-8-1, 1 КО), 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 Брајан “The Brick” Аврам (6-31-2, 6 КОс) два пута у другом кругу, на путу за једногласном одлуком победу.

 

 

 

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

“Галло” Jose Antonio Rivera to headline “Повратак кући”

“Галло” Jose Antonio Rivera hitting the pads with his trainer Sean Fitzgerald

 

ВОРЦЕСТЕР,, Маса. (Јул 31, 2018) – A dozen years after he captured his third world title in two different weight classes, seven since his last fight, “Галло” Jose Rivera returns to the ring August 17 да наслова “Повратак кући”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (ИСП) in association with Rivera Promotions Entertainment (РПЕ), ат тхе Палладиум ин Ворцестер, Масачусетс.

 

 

 

The 45-year-old Ривера (41-6-1, 24 КОс) has already lost more than 30 фунти, 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 КОс) in the eight-round main event.

 

 

 

У 1997, Rivera captured the International Boxing Organization (ИБО) World welterweight title, заустављање Гилберто Флорес у другом кругу. Six years later, he traveled to Germany to take on undefeated, родни град омиљена Мицхел Трабант (38-0) for the vacant World Boxing Association (ВБА) 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 Алејандро Гарциа(25-1) for the WBA World super welterweight title.

 

 

 

“The idea to return to the ring started with my son. А.Ј., and I talking about chasing history,” ривера објаснио. “We are not able to put that together right now (А.Ј. was born with Spina Bifida and he was unable to secure medical clearance in time for the Aug. 17тх 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.”

 

 

 

Granite Chin Promotions’ co-promoter Chuck Shearns додао, “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. Борио сам се у 49 година стар, 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 Крис (Traietti, GCP co-promoter) and I would be co-promoting Jose’s comeback? До Нот, 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. Odmah, 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 као професионалац, 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. 17тх opponent from Indiana, has fought other world champions, Укључујући Заб Јудах, Јулио Цесар Цхавез, Јр., Јорге Паез и 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.

 

 

 

“И, наравно, 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 “Повратак кући” because six fighters in action are from Worcester, including three who’ve never fought there before as professionals.

 

 

 

Миддлевеигхт Кендрицк Балл, Јр.
