COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Xuño 4, 2020) – Like many boxers, dous división campión mundial “El Gallo” Jose Antonio Riveracredits boxing for saving his life.
“Absolutely,” Rivera agreed. “After my mom passed away when I was 10 anos, I gave up on life and my decision-making reflected that: hanging around with the wrong crowd including gang members, consuming alcohol between the ages of 10 and 15. I was definitely going in the wrong direction.
“I never thought I had a future until I started boxing. It’s hard to say what I’d be doing if I had never boxed, but by the way I was living, I’d probably be in jail or dead by now.”
Born in Philadelphia, Rivera lived in Puerto Rico and Springfield, MA, prior to him moving to Worcester, MA, where he met a man who helped change his life, Carlos García, who was in charge of a special boxing program at the Worcester Boys & Girls Club.
Rivera had started boxing at the age of 14 ½ in a basement with his friend, Felix Lopez. He had fallen in love with boxing after watchingRoberto Duranupset“Sugar” Ray Leonardin their first fight. The young Puerto Rican-American specifically used his amateur boxing experience to prepare for the professional ranks. Garcia, who is in the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame, put him in a novice match after only one amateur fight in order to put Rivera on the fast track, because he understood that Rivera dreamed of becoming a world champion as a professional. Rivera finished with a 35-15 rexistro afeccionado, highlighted by a bronze medal performance at the PAL Nationals.
“I never had big amateur aspirations but, claro, I wanted to win every fight I competed in,” Rivera said. “Once I didn’t qualify for the Olympic Trials, my plan was to turn pro. I didn’t know how much the amateurs would groom me to be a successful professional boxer. I’m glad I listened to my coaches, otherwise I would have turned pro earlier, because I would get frustrated with the politics of the amateurs. I hated losing, but I hated losing even more when I knew that I should have won. After three years together (with Garcia) in the amateurs and gaining a great wealth of experience traveling all over New England, the country and even fighting in Canada, I saw all types of styles and talented boxers that helped me as a pro. Carlos is like a father figure to me and during all of our training and travels, he was always in my head, building me up to become a good boxer, but also to help me become a better man.”
No Novembro 7, 1992, Rivera made his pro debut, nocauteandoFrancisco Mercedesin the second round. He went on to win his first 23 pro bouts, including the Massachusetts State welterweight title in 1995. His first pro loss was to veteran Philadelphia fighterWillie Wise (20-3-4), who won a controversial 10-round split decision at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Rivera had proven that he was more than a prospect in his first loss, losing a close decision (98-95, 94-97, 94-96) to an opponent that upset Mexican iconJulio Cesar Chavez (102-3-2) only three years later.
Showing the same resiliency that stayed with Rivera his entire career, two fights later Rivera stoppedGilberto Floresin two rounds to capture the International Boxing Organization (IBO) world welterweight championship. Rivera extended his new win streak to seven, before losing back to back fights. Four fights later, aínda, Rivera registered his first statement victory in 2001, nocauteandoFrankie Randall (55-10-1) no 10thround to retain his North American Boxing Association (Tamén) crown in his first defense.
Now promoted by legendary Don King, Rivera traveled across the Atlantic Ocean in September 2003 to Germany, where few Americans were able to win. Rivera proved early that he meant business, dropping previously undefeatedMichel Trabantin the second round en route to winning a 12-round majority decision for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA). His reign, con todo, didn’t last long. In his first defense, Rivera lost a 12-round split decision at home in Worcester to challengerLuís Collazo (24-1)
Rivera moved up one weight class for his next fight, showing the resiliency that was a staple during his career for his next fight, also at home, against WBA junior middleweight World championAlexandro Garcia (25-1).
In his next fight and first defense of his third world title, Rivera was stopped for the first time in his pro career, by new champTravis Simms (24-0), and then he was knocked out byDaniel Santos (24-0) in round eight of their WBA junior middleweight title eliminator.
Rivera retired in 2008 only to make a comeback in 2001, after which he retired again until returning for two fights in Worcester to complete his pro career with 50 loitas, the last coming at the age of 46.
“Jose’s USA Boxing experiences shaped him into the man of character he is today, tanto dentro como fóra do anel,", DixoChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “He took the road less traveled for a world champion, and in doing so he showcased his toughness and perseverance that made him a great example for today’s USA Boxers.”

Rivera was a true working world champion. Few world champions also had full-time jobs during their title reigns. Rivera used vacation time, as well as personal and sick days, when he went to training camp for some of his major fights.
“I always had a good work ethic growing up,” he explained. “When I moved to Worcester at 16 anos, I lived by myself: school, work, and then to the Boys & Girls Club to train. I kept the same work ethic I had at 19 when I turned pro. I became a father at 20, so providing for my family was essential. Although it was hard, I knew boxing wasn’t going to last forever, and I was lucky enough to find a good job working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Trial Courts. It made for long days when I was training, especially when I was fighting for or defending my world championships. In the end, aínda, keeping my job was the best decision I could have made for me and my family.”
Rivera. who was an Associate Court Officer for years and promoted last year to Assistant Chief Court Officer, is still involved in boxing. He and his oldest son, A.J. Rivera, own and operate a boxing promotional company, Rivera Promotions Entertainment, to give young fighters in his area opportunities to fight more often and at home. Jose occasionally drops by the Boys & Girls Club to visit his former coaches, Garcia andRocky Gonzalez, to support their young talent. He also goes to his friendKendrick Ball’s gym, Camp Be Right, to give young fighters there a few tips and to keep in shape (not for another comeback).
Jose Antonio Rivera will be best known for his toughness and determination, which led him into a different life, including three world championships and a wonderful life he never would have enjoyed.

Springfield, Masa. (Decembro 13, 2019) — Rising Connecticut starsRICHIE “POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN” RIVERA e“ACTION“ ANTHONY LAUREANOboth 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.) enwww.FITE.TV.
Heavy-handed Rivera (agora 16-0, 12 Kos) took his power up to the cruiserweight division against “MIGHTY” JOE JONES(agora 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, honestamente, 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.”
No co-main event, Laureano (agora 13-0, 4 Kos), un 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, quen, 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, aínda, 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; é duro. This will build me into a better fighter. I did a lot of good things. The goal is to learn from every fight, Vou, and we’ll go back to the drawing board.”
Danbury, CT super lightweightOMAR “THE BEAST” BORDOY (agora 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 (agora 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, cidade natal favoritoDERRICK “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.”
Na loita de apertura da noite, Hartford welterweight prospectJEFFREY TORRES(agora 6-0, 4 Kos) mantivo a súa invencibilidade intacta, pitching a shutout for a 6-round unanimous decision over Brockton, MA journeymanANTONIO CHAVES FERNANDEZ(agora 9-40-4, 3 Kos). Torres out-boxed Fernandez, who was buzzed several times, do principio ao final.
Medio-pesado brasileiroLEANDRO “BUSCAPE” SILVA (2-3, 1 KO) ruined the homecoming for local fighterANGEL ‘ THE BLACK RICAN” VAZQUEZ (0-2) Na loita walk-out, Silva trapped Vazquez on the ropes in the fourth round.

BOSTON (Decembro 9, 2019) — Unlike most boxing prospects, lightweight prospectOMAR “THE BEAST” BORDOY (9-1, 3 Kos) is always willing to take risks, even fighting undefeated opponents, instead of simply padding his record.
Bordoy, fighting out of Danbury, CT, meets undefeated Irish sensation“SLICK” VICTOR RABEI (8-0, 2 Kos) decembro 13 in an 8-round bout on a stacked “New England Explosion” card, at MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts.
“New England Explosion,” presented byJOE DEGUARDIA’S STAR BOXINGand sponsored by MGM Springfield, will air live from Mass MutualCenter in a first for New England Sports Network (NESN), a partir de 9 p.m. E / 6 p.m. PT. As the home of the Boston Bruins and Boston Red Sox, NESN is available nationally on a sports subscription basis.
“I fought an undefeated fighter before and it was cool to give him (3-0 Terell Bostic) his first loss,” the 24-year-old Bordoy said. “An undefeated record could be padded. Rabei is a good fighter and I expect a very good fight. He’s a good fighter who is good defensively. He’ll want to be fighting on the outside because he’s 5’ 9” and I’m 5’ 5”. But he’s coming down in weight and we’re fighting at my natural fighting weight (135 lb.) I’ve fought taller opponents before. It looks like he has a little power. We’re both stepping up.
“I’m excited to be fighting on live television for the first time. I’m a kid who came from nothing and now I’m fighting on TV. I’ve fought in pre-recorded fights before, but this will be my first on live television. It makes everything even more exciting. I’m glad to be fighting on this NESN platform.”
Bordoy has won two in a row since losing a disputed 6-round split decision last April to Romain Tomas (7-2).
“I didn’t get into boxing to go undefeated,” remarked Bordoy, who will be fighting in his first scheduled 8-rounder. “Only a few fighters have ever retired undefeated. A loss doesn’t bother most greats. It’s part of my developmental stage. I’d rather suffer a loss early in my career than later. I certainly don’t feel like a defeated fighter going into this fight. I learned a lot about myself and what to do better from that loss.”
Cutting weight for this fight, Bordoy didn’t really enjoy Thanksgiving. In fact, he ate alone because it was too difficult dieting and eating with others. So, he had brown rice and baked chicken.
"Si,” he added. “I didn’t get to eat much. I’m going to splurge this fight. And I’ll get an early Christmas present when my hand is raised at the end of the fight.”
BORDOY OPEN WORKOUT DEC. 10 IN DANBURY, CT.
Bordoy will hold an open workout Tuesday, Decembro. 10, entre 6:30-8:30 p.m. ET at Danbury Champs Gym in Danbury, CT to promote his Dec. 13thfight. Dambury Champs Gym is located at 128 E. Liberty St., Danbury, CT. The public is welcome.

Os afeccionados ao boxeo abarrotaron o Manchester Downtown Hotel o mércores pola noite para vivir unha noite espectacular de boxeo afeccionado de elite. Esta foi a última parada dunha xira de tres cidades por Boston e Springfield, Massachusetts e Manchester, Nova Hampshire. Os combates programados contaron con afeccionados do Team USA enfrontándose aos mellores boxeadores afeccionados de Irlanda. Pola campá final, Irlanda conseguiu rematar os oito combates da velada cun empate, o seu mellor resultado da xira. O equipo dos Estados Unidos gañou os dous primeiros dobres da xira en Boston e Springfield, respectivamente, por decenas de 8-4 e 7-3.
As pelexas do mércores non foron todas por gañar, con todo. Para a maioría dos boxeadores implicados foi unha gran oportunidade de afinar as súas técnicas e conseguir unha experiencia de competición internacional moi necesaria.. Algúns dos mellores artistas da noite do mércores tamén estarán representando os seus respectivos países nos próximos 2020 Xogos Olímpicos.
Contou o acto central da noite 2016 O medallista de bronce do Campionato do Mundo Xuvenil Richard Torrez domina o 3 veces campión nacional irlandés Dean Gardiner. A gran altura e o longo alcance do loitador irlandés simplemente non podían superar o ritmo acelerado e a excelente postura defensiva do estadounidense máis baixo..
Torrez pasou a primeira volta executando fintas maxistrales e deslizamentos de puñetazos mentres marcaba cuns ganchos de bombardeo.. Torrez cambiou de nivel, usou un movemento lixeiro da cabeza, e nunca soltou o pé, mentres Gardiner avanzaba con un enfoque desequilibrado e salvaxe ao comezo.. Un disparo de corpo atronador conectou para o irlandés na primeira, pero non moito máis.
Torrez mantivo o ritmo de traballo rápido no seguinte cadro, soltando ganchos esquerdo e dereito e pousando limpamente durante gran parte da rolda. Marcou ao corpo e á cabeza con facilidade, aínda que gran parte da rolda viu ao seu opoñente cubrindo e esperando ocos. Unha recta esquerda de Torrez fixo caer un momento ao seu rival, pero o home máis alto recuperouse e fixo un gancho de esquerda fenomenal na cabeza de Torrez mentres loitaba contra as cordas.. Gardiner intentou aterrar principalmente golpes rectos no exterior e parecía incapaz de darlle a volta aos seus golpes de preto..
A terceira rolda viu aos dous loitadores slugándose ata a campá final cun dos intercambios de ida e volta máis salvaxes da noite., pero era demasiado pouco e demasiado tarde para Gardiner. Simplemente non puido marcar o seu alcance. Torrez acaba de superar ao seu opoñente de novo e conseguiu algúns uppercuts lixeiros para ir cos seus trepidantes ganchos de dereita e esquerda.. Utilizou o golpe con moderación pero con eficacia, gastando gran parte do cadro final apuntando ao corpo de Gardiner. Torrez gañou a vitoria por Decisión Unánime coa súa actuación e non fixo máis que un puñado de tiros duros no proceso..
Kelly Harrington, un medallista de prata do Campionato do Mundo de Irlanda, probablemente tivo a actuación máis maxistral do seu equipo ao lograr unha vitoria por decisión unánime sobre Stacia Suttles no combate inicial da noite.. Suttles loitou por manterse no rango ideal de golpes contra o ataque implacable de Harrington na primeira rolda., pasando gran parte dos tres minutos balanceándose e tecendo para intentar evitar as combinacións nítidas do seu opoñente. Suttles fixo o seu golpe de forma bastante consistente, e ela comezou a xuntar algúns combos ao final da rolda, pero Harrington é un absoluto experto no que se refire ao movemento da cabeza. Ela parecía Floyd Mayweather, JR. foi un dos seus adestradores xa que utilizaba unha técnica de mans baixas con fintas constantes, deslizamento de puñetazos e cambio de nivel. A primeira rolda viu a ela aterrar unha fermosa recta á esquerda na cabeza e unha fantástica combinación de golpes de corpo e cabeza que aterrou sólidamente.. Ela soltou uns ganchos feroces, aínda que algúns eran palleiros salvaxes. A continuación móstrase unha imaxe de Harrington durante un dos breves momentos da pelexa onde levantou as dúas mans para protexer o seu rostro.
Suttles capturou a Harrington con algunhas miradas e tiros a ras na segunda rolda, pero parecía que tiña problemas para conseguir poder detrás dos seus golpes. Ela cambiou algunhas mans dereitas decentes co seu opoñente, pero estaba claro ao final da rolda que simplemente non ía ser capaz de atopar ningún ritmo na loita debido á astucia do seu opoñente.. Harrington pasou a mesma rolda perfeccionando o seu rango con nítido 1-2 combos e dereitos salvaxes que se conectan. Harrington tamén anotou uns poderosos ganchos de esquerda cunha imaxe recta perfecta para aterrar só uns momentos despois.
A terceira rolda foi máis do mesmo para ambos os loitadores. Suttles traballou gran parte do cadro para rastrexar ao seu opoñente, pero cada vez que descargaba, ela pagou por iso. Un gancho de esquerda especialmente sólido caeu ao final da rolda, pero non foi suficiente. Harrington pasou gran parte dos últimos tres minutos intentando conectar coas mans dereitas. Ela deu un dos seus golpes máis duros da loita ao final da rolda e atordoou momentaneamente ao seu opoñente antes do timbre para rematar a loita.. Harrington tomou unha decisión unánime e parece ser unha das boxeadoras máis prometedoras polo seu peso na carreira pola 2020 Xogos Olímpicos.
Outro exemplo de que a altura era unha desvantaxe de algunha maneira xogou un papel na outra loita feminina da tarxeta.. Leah Cooper do equipo estadounidense (#2 Peso medio feminino estadounidense) usou agachadas e fintas para evitar o longo alcance do máis alto Aoife Burke. Cooper pelexou desde un semi-agachado, dificultando a aterraxe de Burke con algún poder significativo na maioría dos seus golpes. O 8 veces campión nacional de Irlanda
tivo algúns puntos na pelexa onde recuperou o control da acción, pero Cooper fixo os axustes correctos para minimizar as ameazas.
Cooper executou un ataque en enxame para comezar a primeira rolda, disparando 1-2 combos e apoiando a Burke. Mantívose paciente e persistente durante todo o cadro, permanecendo baixo e fóra do alcance dos tiros de poder de Burke. Burke mostrou unha excelente defensa, pero só puido lanzar e aterrar un golpe á vez. Ela mostrou un golpe nítido durante toda a rolda, pero non disuadiu a Cooper. Burke tivo os seus mellores momentos da rolda cara á campá final, mesturando tiros ao corpo e á cabeza, incluíndo un gancho dereito duro na cabeza.
Burke saíu para a segunda rolda en chamas, asaltando a Cooper con lume rápido 1-2 combos e ganchos. Tamén mesturou un uppercut liso que atopou o queixo de Cooper. Cooper resistiu a tormenta, só caendo na trampa brevemente. Ela recuperou a compostura, deu uns excelentes golpes de contra, e converteu a que puido ser a mellor rolda de Burke na peor do campión irlandés. Cooper mantívose tranquilo e tranquilo, a pesar de realizar algúns dos tiros máis duros o seu rival aterrou na pelexa. Ela aterrou uns magníficos 1-2 os combos despois do ataque de Burke fracasou, finalmente abriu un corte preto do ollo esquerdo de Burke e ensangróulle o nariz. O duro golpe no corpo de Cooper tamén fixo que Burke se agachara ao lenzo un pouco despois dun sólido gancho dereito..
Burke comezou a terceira rolda un pouco tarde despois de ser revisado e autorizado polo médico de bordo. Comezou de novo cunha ráfaga de golpes de bomba. Apuntou o corpo e a cabeza, pero Cooper recolleuse unha vez máis e volveu traballar. Ela cambiou ben os niveis e comezou a conectarse con ganchos furiosos, primeiro ao corpo e despois de novo á cabeza. Tamén mantivo un jab activo e conseguiu varios 1-2 combos. Burke conseguiu outra ráfaga tardía nos momentos finais da loita, pero Cooper aínda saíu coa vitoria por decisión unánime.
O equipo lixeiro de Estados Unidos James Browning entrou na pelea do mércores pola noite co irlandés Francis Cleary como dúas veces campión de boxeo dos Estados Unidos.. Cleary, nove veces campión nacional irlandés, representou o primeiro crack de Browning na competición internacional. Os dous loitadores tiveron os seus momentos, pero sería Browning conseguindo a vitoria ao final de tres entretidos, roldas de acción de ida e volta.
Browning pasou a primeira rolda establecendo unha taxa de traballo máis alta que o seu opoñente e usando moito movemento para evitar o ataque de Cleary.. He also landed a consistent jab, mixing up his body and head shots well. Aínda que gañou a rolda, Browning took plenty of risks and paid the price. Cleary escolleu os seus puntos e desatou os golpes máis limpos e poderosos cando puido aterrar. He just couldn’t connect enough, e saíu de problemas case cada vez que remataba loitando a corta distancia.
Claramente caeu algunhas bombas máis afiadas no segundo cadro, cada vez máis agresivo e comezando a rastrexar ao seu opoñente en constante movemento. Un golpeante gancho esquerdo preto do final da rolda conectou coa cabeza de Browning e impresionou á multitude de afeccionados.. Aínda, Browning permaneceu ocupado e fixo ben nos intercambios de babosas entre os dous loitadores. Moitas veces era salvaxe, pero a saída do traballo impediu que Cleary roubase a rolda.
Cleary saíu para a terceira rolda con renovada ferocidade, engaging in a wild brawl with Browning. It was the best round of the fight for Cleary, e Browning non puido manter a elusión que amosou nas roldas anteriores. O loitador irlandés conseguiu outro gancho esquerdo en auxe na rolda, featured perfectly-timed counters, and kept punching right up to the bell. Browning definitivamente parecía estar frustrado e canso ao final da loita. Aínda, dous dos tres xuíces estaban seguros de que se merecía a vitoria, conseguindo unha vitoria por decisión dividida.
O seguinte combate enfrontou ao oito veces campión nacional irlandés Wayne Kelley contra o 13 veces campión nacional estadounidense Adrian Benton nunha pechada batalla de peso welter.. Os dous mozos loitadores tiveron puntos brillantes no partido, pero Kelley conseguiu escapar a vitoria por decisión dividida cun astuto, esforzo atrevido.
Benton tivo o mellor primeiro asalto grazas a un ataque en enxame. He worked in and out of range with 1-2 combos e ganchos de reforzo. He used all his angles well, saíndo do apuro e ao alcance efectivo con facilidade. Kelley loitou para aterrar contadores ata os momentos finais da rolda, cando conseguiu a súa propia ráfaga de 1-2 combos.
Kelley comezou a segunda rolda con moita máis enerxía e aplomo. He landed early and often, alando as mans esquerdas e abrindo un corte no beizo de Benton. Benton esvarou algúns dos golpes máis perigosos, bloqueou ben os tiros e aterrou algúns nítidos, tiros duros propios. O seu mellor intercambio foi un gancho esquerdo e dereito na cabeza que aterrou preto da metade da rolda.
Kelley baixou un pouco a velocidade na rolda final, incapaz de atopar o seu rango ideal. Conseguiu unhas duras mans dereitas, un tiro de corpo ben colocado e descargado cunha ráfaga tardía. Benton mantívose ocupado no inicio da rolda e agachouse con arte baixo un gancho dereito bombardeado de Kelley. Os xuíces parecían máis impresionados coa compostura de Kelley nas dúas últimas roldas mentres Benton seguía sendo atraído a pelexas descoidadas.. Kelley superou a vitoria por a 2-1 marxe.
Os pesos welter lixeiros viñeron despois, producindo outro concurso axustado. O irlandés Caoimhin Ferguson pelexou contra Charlie Sheehy do equipo estadounidense cun enfoque táctico lixeiramente mellor., conseguindo outra vitoria por decisión dividida para o seu equipo.
Sheehy adoptou un enfoque máis cauteloso e paciente na primeira volta, esperando o momento perfecto para lanzar e aterrar. Os seus mellores golpes da rolda incluíron unha dura man dereita ao corpo e un golpe de amidón. Ferguson traballou máis no cadro, marcando en múltiples ganchos á cabeza e desatando ráfagas salvaxes e tolas algunhas veces. Un gancho de esquerda en particular estrelouse con forza na cabeza de Sheehy nos últimos momentos da rolda.
Ferguson fixo algúns tiros decentes na segunda rolda, pero Sheehy estaba moito máis composto. Traballou arredor do balanceo salvaxe, asalto contundente mantendo a distancia e marcando dende fóra con certos dereitos nítidos no queixo. Os loitadores intercambiaron uns ganchos ao corpo e acabaron nun clinch antes do final da rolda..
Sheehy loitou para encadear golpes na rolda final. Aínda que tiña unha boa man dereita recta traballando para el, Ferguson puido penetrar na súa defensa. Ferguson conseguiu cedo un golpeante gancho esquerdo e pasou a lanzar algunhas bombas máis antes de perder a súa boca nun intercambio.. Probablemente sabendo que necesitaba rematar forte para poñer aos xuíces do seu lado, Ferguson precipitouse cun último torrente de ganchos nos últimos segundos. Gañou un 2-1 decisión vitoria pola súa tenacidade.
Os pesos welter Kieron Molloy (Irlanda) e Freudis Rojas, JR. (EUA) enfrontouse noutro combate. Ambos loitadores son anteriores medallistas de bronce no Campionato do Mundo con Molloy tamén reclamando nove títulos nacionais de Irlanda e Rojas gañando os nacionais de Estados Unidos. 10 veces ata agora. It was another close shave win for Team Ireland.
Rojas foi claramente o loitador máis activo na primeira volta. Utilizou un golpe constante e aumentou a súa taxa de traballo a través do cadro. He ket busy on offense right up until the bell. Molloy comezou os lanzamentos redondos e intentando descubrir o seu alcance. Desatouse un pouco tarde nalgúns dos intercambios máis feroces, couldn’t figure out how to get his combinations going, e tivo un mal momento para poñerse ao día co máis rápido Rojas. Molloy did land some excellent straight lefts, aínda.
A seguinte rolda foi moito mellor para o zurdo irlandés. He started with an uptick in his punch output, though he still struggled to land combos. At one point in the round, Molloy connected with a huge straight left, followed up by a nice power jab, slowing down his opponent. Rojas kept coming forward but couldn’t capitalize on scoring opportunities in the round. Unha ráfaga tardía de golpes de Rojas non foi suficiente para que lle roubara a rolda.
Rojas conseguiu excelentes tiros na rolda final, going downstairs to the body frequently. He also caught Molloy against the ropes, blasting him with straight punches. Molloy fought the smarter round, aínda, escollendo os mellores momentos para lanzar e collendo moitas veces a Rojas coas mans baixas. His best exchange of the round featured a huge 1-2 conectando á cabeza e un gancho de esquerda salvaxe á cabeza. Un último enxame de golpes do loitador irlandés pechou o espectáculo e gañoulle unha 2-1 vitoria por decisión dividida.
Nikita Ababiy, do equipo dos Estados Unidos, logrou un triunfo moi disputado nun asunto salvaxe antes do evento principal con Gerard French do equipo de Irlanda.. A primeira rolda viu a Ababiy golpeando ben. O estadounidense entrou na pelexa cunha postura de boxeo moi pouco tradicional cunha man baixa, pero a súa postura parecía ser eficaz para atraer ao seu opoñente ao alcance de golpes. Ababiy conseguiu algúns ganchos en auxe e un bonito uppercut esquerdo que respaldaba o francés. Entrementes, Francés concentrouse en intentar aterrar contadores. Tiña unha taxa de traballo máis baixa pero tampouco levou demasiado castigo.
O francés pasou a segunda volta intentando intercambiar a pelota. Conseguiu máis tiros máis tarde na rolda, incluíndo algúns ganchos dereito acalorados nos momentos finais. Ababiy conectou con algúns golpes na rolda e tamén mostrou unha boa defensa. Mesturou os seus tiros ao corpo e á cabeza, botando e tapando para esperar a próxima apertura. Ababiy conseguiu un bonito gancho esquerdo na cabeza seguido dun uppercut dereito perfecto no último minuto.. Rematou ben a rolda camiño da súa primeira vitoria.
A rolda final viu a Ababiy un pouco máis lento, pero aínda era o suficientemente eficaz para levar o cadro. French conseguiu uns nítidos ganchos esquerdos na cabeza, pero non puido descubrir o estilo diferente que o seu opoñente trouxo ao ring. O estadounidense logrou a vitoria por decisión unánime.
A noite tamén comezou coa única parada na tarxeta grazas a unha pelexa salvaxe entre o Manchester local de 132 libras., Os novatos do NH Michael Correa e Abhisek Thapa. Correa despegou polo aro ao escoitar o timbre de apertura e desatou unha ráfaga salvaxe tras outra. Thapa non deixou que o tornado o tragara, aínda. El só cubriuse e esperou as súas oportunidades. Só tardou un par de minutos en que o Correa comezase a cansar do ataque implacable. Thapa entrou despois para conseguir algunhas das tomas máis impresionantes da noite, obrigando ao árbitro a deter a loita por tres oito contas antes de que o final chegase finalmente cun torbellino de golpes de poder de Thapa..
Tamén houbo unha aparición convidada polo boxeador Floyd Mayweather, JR. aínda chama ao seu rival máis duro de sempre, Emanuel Augusto (3-34-6, 20 Kos). Augustus participou nunha reunión a noite anterior con “Irlandés” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 Kos), celebrando un dos mellores combates da historia do deporte, que tivo lugar en xullo 13, 2001. Augustus quedou para as pelexas e mesmo entrou no ring para demostrar que aínda ten a mesma destreza de golpes que o converteu nun dos loitadores máis entretidos da súa época..
"Nesta xira aprendemos que estamos aí cos mellores equipos do mundo,", dixo Billy Walsh, o adestrador principal do equipo dos Estados Unidos. "O equipo de Irlanda é moi bo, equipo novo. Teremos un bo equipo para enviar a Tokio (2020 Xogos Olímpicos). Estou orgulloso do meu equipo. Todos traballaron moi duro.
