DERRY, N.H. (Augusti 30, 2020) – Two regional title bouts, supported by several stay-busy fights, highlighted Granite Chin Promotion’s first pro boxing event since this past November, ‘Return to Derry,” igår kväll (Lör, Augusti. 29), in front of a near capacity crowd at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.

Two world champions were in attendance to support the fighters, undefeated reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) mellanvikt mästare Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade och“Den Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera, den pensionerade 3-tid, 2-division title holder.

“I’m glad that tonight we took as step forward towards normalcy,” promotor Chris Traietti kommenterade. Sports help to bring people together and tonight we had a packed house with people of all races, religions, and creeds. I’m happy these Americans enjoyed themselves here tonight.”

Justin “Crazy Train” Rolfe was crowned New England heavyweight champion by way of an 8-round unanimous decision over Tracey “Titan” Johnson i Main Event.

Rolfe vs. Johnson II was a rematch of a 6-round majority draw last November in Quincy, Massachusetts. A lot more was at stake in the rematch, fast, because the N.E. heavyweight title was on the line. Boston southpaw Johnson, the half-brother of Andrade, methodically boxed, while Maine-resident Rolfe came forward throwing bombs, and their contrast of styles made for a entertaining fight.

The elusive Johnson started finding his range in the fourth round, connecting with combinations as Rolfe appeared to tire, but he got his second wind and continued to be aggressive, often pinning Johnson on the ropes. The two evenly matched fighters went back and forth in the latter half of the fight, although Rolfe pressed the action and Johnson countered. Neither appeared to be hurt at any point during the bout., Both let loose in the eighth and final round, leaving nothing in the tank. Rolfe’s non-stop attack and turned out to be the difference in this match-up.

Ryan DiBartolomeo captured the vacant New Hampshire welterweight title, taking a 6-round split decision over Kris Jacobs, in the co-featured event. “I live in Massachusetts but all my fights (3-0-1) have been in New Hampshire and I train in Nashua (NH),” DiBartolomeo said after the fight. “Fighting in New Hampshire is like fighting at home and now I’m the New Hampshire welterweight champ.”

DiBartolemeo quickly came out of the corner and soon dropped Jacobs for an 8-count. Jacobs made it through the opening round, but he was unable to avoid the free-swinging DiBartolemeo’s strong right hand, peppering his opponents head, i omgång två. Jacobs settled down in the third, picked-up the pace in the fourth, and started letting his hands go more in the fifth, landing more effectively on his aggressive foe. The two fighters went at it toe-to-toe in the final round and DiBartolemeo closed the show.

New England middleweight champion Kendrick Ball, Jr., fighting light heavyweight Tahuk Taylor, displayed his skill set to the maximum, blasting his opponent to the mat with a sweet straight right, again with a beautiful left hook, and he was about to close the show when refereeJackie Morell mercifully ended the fight with 13-seconds left in round one.

Popular junior welterweight Mike “Bad Man” OHan, Jr. did just about everything but stop gritty Dewayne Wisdom, who was penalized two points and officially floored once. But he survived, albeit losing a lop-sided 6-round unanimous decision to Ohan.

New England Golden Gloves mästare Francis “Frank The Tank” Hogan dismissed Rashan Wisdom, who went down on the canvas twice before his corner threw in the towel. Hogan is a tall, lanky southpaw who is well schooled and now 2-0 (2 Kos).

In a spirited fight, obesegrad lätt tungvikt Edet “Papito” Mkpanam (4-0, 3 Kos) was relentless against a game Saul “Spider” Almeida, one of the top mixed-martial-arts fighters in New England. Mkpanan dropped Almeida in the first two rounds on his way to a tough 4-round unanimous decision.

Promising Boston lightweight prospect Jonathan Depina outclassed Theo “The Unholy Truth” Desjardin, flooring him early and finishing him off soon after with a blistering shot, to improve to 2-0 (2 Kos).

Mellanvikt Anthony Concepcion won by way of a third-round disqualification when his opponent, pro-debuterar Caleb Denham, ignored the referee’s instructions to continue fighting.

Mellanvikt Larry “Slomoshun” Smith, fighting out of Dallas, recorded his first victory in more than nine years, taking a 4-round unanimous decision from Jesus “The Juice” Cintron. The 41-year-old Smith, 0-39-2 during his winless streak, dropped Anderson in the first round.


Larry Smith celebrated after his first win in 9 år

Texas light heavyweight Bryan Vera utslagen Mike Anderson with a big right hand early in round one. Domare Leo Gerstel immediately waved off the count right after Anderson hit the mat. Vera, who is known for his participating in Utmanaren verklighet tv-show, has defeated world champions Sergio Mora (två gånger), then-undefeated Andy Lee och Serhiy Dzinziruk during his 16-year pro career.

Veteran junior middleweight Cliff “Magician” McPherson had no tricks for Tyrone “Stone's händer” Luckey because he was disqualified in the second round by referee Morrell for repeated holding.

Opening the night was a cruiserweight match between Larry “Hitman” Pryor och Francisco Neto. It didn’t take long for Pryor, whose cousin was the late, Hall of Famer Aron “Hawk” Pryor, put down Neto with a nicely placed left hook. Neto beat the count but stood on wobbly legs, leading referee Gerstel to halt the fight at the 35-second mark of the opening round.

New boxing chapter to start for former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Han attackerade” Gonzaga

Lämna en kommentar
Oktober 28 i Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Mäss. (Oktober 19, 2017) – The next chapter of former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel “Han attackerade” Gonzaga starts October 28th when he makes his professional boxing debut fighting on the “New England Future 4” kort, den fjärde och sista 2017 del av den populära professionella boxningsserien, “New England framtid”, kommer att hållas på DCU Center (Utställningshall) i Worcester, Massachusetts.
“New Englands framtid 4” presenteras av Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), som ägs och drivs av pensionerade tre gånger, mästare två division världen Jose Antonio Rivera och hans son, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow (MA). An imposing physical fighter, the 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga (17-11-0, 7 Kos, 9 SUBs, 1 December), håller 4th degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70, held in Manchester, United Kingdom, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Mirko Cro Cop with a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture in his next fight.
Gonzaga, who retired from MMA 1 ½ years ago, also defeated Ben Rothwell, Shawn Jordanien och Chris Tuchscherer, among the more notable UFC fighters he faced in the Octagon.
(L-R) – Rocky Gonzalez & Gabriel Gonzaga
Gonzago has a new opponent for his four-round bout, Tampa’s pro-debuting Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, who also has a pro MMA background.
“I like challenges in my life,” Gonzaga explained why he’s making his pro debut. “I set new goals because I like to be competitive in sports. I have a good boxing coach who told me I should try. I was a BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) world champion and UFC title contender. I have good boxing skills and plan to put on a good show. I do have one-punch power and hit hard.
“I started boxing in 2001 and worked at it every day for two years to learn, but then I was competing in MMA. Nu, I’m focused on boxing. I think boxing is the hardest part of MMA. I know you can’t make mistakes in boxing and there’s no time to relax. I MMA, I could relax a little at times in clinches, but the referee won’t allow that in boxing. I’ll probably fight more than once but not too many because of my age and I’m not really at the high-level of boxing like I was in MMA.”
Gonzaga’s head boxing trainer, Rocky Gonzalez, has been working with several MMA fighters, including Gonzaga, for more than a decade to help them improve their striking skills. Gonzalez freely admits that Gonzaga knew how to box before he started working with him, crediting Gonzaga’s Muay Thai coach, and that boxing came naturally to the big Brazilian who has made an easy adjustment from the Octagon to the ring. Gonzalez also feels that leg positioning differences for MMA fighters switching to boxing, in terms of throwing proper punches, is somewhat overrated.
“I boxning,” Gonzalez sa, “fighters need their hands like their legs and elbows in MMA. Distance and timing is more important than where their legs and feet are positioned. Gabriel doesn’t like sparring with headgear, så, his sparring is more like real fighting. He’s been hot with some real shots but he’s responded well. He’s always going to have a puncher’s chance and he’s deceptive because he doesn’t look as fast as he is.
“We didn’t really plan anything but he got this good opportunity. He’s always wanted to turn pro as a boxer and go from there. Gabriel is a good listener who keeps working hard to get better. When he first brought up boxing, he was contracted by the UFC, but we started talking about him boxing after the UFC released him. He knew Jose from him teaching boxing. Gabriel isn’t doing this for the money. He’s a competitive guy who wanted to try boxing.”
Former WBU Americans and IBU North American cruiserweight champion, Vinnie “Amerikansk mardröm” Litet ansikte (16-1-1, 15 Kos), slåss ur Pembroke (MA), tar emot boliviansk mästare i tungvikt Saul “Killer Fenjx” Favorit (64-23-3, 56 Kos) i åtta-omgången main event.
Hartford (CT) populär Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (3-0, 2 Kos) möter Hansen Castillo (0-2) in the four-round, co-featured event to be contested at a 180-pound catchweight.

Vinnie “Amerikansk mardröm” Carita lådor på sitt eget unika sätt

Lämna en kommentar
Oktober 28 i Worcester, MA
WORCESTER, Mäss. (Oktober 12, 2017) – En gång slagna Vinnie “Amerikansk dröm” Litet ansikte förbereder sig på ett helt annat sätt än alla andra krigare i oktober 28th “New England Future 4” kort, den fjärde och sista 2017 del av den populära professionella boxningsserien, “New England framtid”, kommer att hållas på DCU Center (Utställningshall) i Worcester, Massachusetts.
“New Englands framtid 4” presenteras av Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), som ägs och drivs av pensionerade tre gånger, mästare två division världen Jose Antonio Rivera och hans son, Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera.
“Jag är glad över att ha en dedikerad, hårt arbetande boxare som Vinnie Carita som headlinerar vårt boxningsevenemang på Lördag, 28 oktober vid DCU Center,” promotorn Jose Antonio Rivera sa. “Han är ett perfekt exempel på varför min son, A.J., och jag började RPE. Vi vill kunna hjälpa boxare att växa sin karriär och skapa en plattform för dem att få större och bättre möjligheter.”
En före detta WBU -amerikaner och IBU -nordamerikansk cruiserweight -mästare,Litet ansikte (16-1-1, 15 Kos) tar emot boliviansk mästare i tungvikt Saul “Killer Fenjx” Favorit (64-23-3, 56 Kos) i åtta-omgången main event.
Litet ansikte, slåss ur Pembroke (MA), kommer att gå upp i vikt igen för att bekämpa en annan utländsk motståndare. I boxningens värld, inte bara slåss Carita, han är sin egen promotor, chef, tränare och matchmaker. Utanför ringen, Carita är en heltidstjänsteman i Brockton (MA), samt en säkerhetskontraktör på deltid för försvarsdepartementet (DOD).
Även om hans otroligt hektiska schema lämnar lite, om någon, centrum för att koppla av, Carita trivs för att han är så hängiven, disciplinerad och driven. Han börjar varje dag kl 4 a.m., springer eller tränar konditionsträning, jobbar sitt dagliga jobb, och träffar gymmet för att träna mellan 9-10 p.m. regelbundet för en planerad kamp. När han har lite tid att resa, Vinne har åkt till New York, Philadelphia och till och med Montreal för kvalitets sparring.
Han började boxa vid sju, när han först gick in på ett gym, och fångade en Southeast Regionals Golden Glove -titel men, vid 14, boxas bara sporadiskt, tills han blev pro 20. “Jag har definitivt en passion för boxning,” erkände 32-åringen. “Jag är en boxningsfanatiker. Om jag inte tränar, Jag tittar på slagsmål, live eller på tv. Det är min kärlek. Boxning kommer alltid att vara en del av mig och när jag äntligen lägger på mina vantar, Jag vill bli domare, så jag kan fortfarande vara i ringen, och har den bästa sätet. Jag vill inte döma. Större killar håller längre än mindre fighters. Jag vill fortsätta med detta tills i slutet av trettiotalet, kanske början av fyrtiotalet.
“Jag blev kär i cruiserweight -divisionen när jag såg (Vassily) Jirov-(James) Toney slagsmål (på Foxwoods Resort Casino i Connecticut). Cruiserweight -divisionen är het just nu med World Boxing Super Series (WBSS). (Oleksandr) Usyk kan vinna turneringen, förenar alla fyra stora bälten, och sedan gå upp till tungvikt. Det kan vara bra för mig om jag var en av de åtta som kämpade för en av de fyra lediga (större) titlar. Jag ska leta efter rätt slagsmål tills dess, mot killar som har funnits och kanske tävlat om världs- eller regionala titlar, som min nästa motståndare (Favorit), vem är WBC Latino -mästare i tungvikt.”
Litet ansikte, som ibland tvingas kämpa som en tungviktare som han vill mot Faraff, kommer fortfarande väga in runt 200-205 pounds. Han går runt kl 208 och brukar väga in vid 194-196 för hans kryssningsviktstrider. “Jag har inga planer på att tävla som tungviktare,” sa han. “Jag har kämpat med några tungviktare och det ser bättre ut för mig att gå distansen, eller sluta, killar mycket större än jag. Jag försöker välja rätt killar för att utveckla min karriär.”
Varför har Carita kämpat så många motståndare från länder över hela världen? Nätverk. Hans jobb med DOD, innan han började arbeta som domare, fann honom resa runt i världen. Vart han än gick – South Africa, Dubai, Nordirland, etc. – han tränade på boxningsgym och gjorde ovärderliga kontakter, upprätta arbetsförhållanden med många chefer och matchmakers som han har varit i kontakt med under hela sin proffsboxningskarriär.
För att han tränar själv, Carita har bara en vanlig person som arbetar i sitt hörn, Pittsfield (MA) domstolsofficer John Felix, som han först träffade när de var borrinstruktörer på akademin. Carita lägger till en cut-man för sin kamp, ​​men han tenderar att hålla saker magra och elaka, även i hans hörn.
Ingen vet bättre eller uppskattar mer vad promotorn Jose Antonio Rivera åstadkom när han var världsmästare som arbetade heltid som en hovman i Worcester.
“Att jobba heltid, uppfostra barn, utbilda dig till en fighter i världsklass och bli världsmästare tre gånger talar mycket om Jose,” Kommenterade Carita. “Nu, han marknadsför och sätter killar som jag på sina shower.”
“Jag förstår helt och hållet hur hårt och krävande hans schema arbetar med ett heltidsjobb som domare och utbildar sig för att försöka uppnå sina mål att kämpa för och vinna världsmästerskap,” Tillade Rivera. “Jag är glad att Vinnie har valt att ge RPE en möjlighet att kunna hjälpa honom att komma närmare sin dröm.”
I co-featured händelse, Hartford (CT) populär Richard “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (3-0, 2 Kos) möter Hansen Castillo (0-2) i fyra-omgången som ska bestrids med en fångstvikt på 180 pund.

“RPE is excited to have an athlete of Gonzaga’s caliber making his pro debut on our NEF4 boxing event,” promotorn Jose Antonio Rivera sa. “We are happy that boxers and MMA athletes trust us in terms of what we are trying to do to help them build their careers.”
The 38-year-old Gonzaga teaches Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) in Worcester and lives nearby in Ludlow. Now retired from mixed-martial-arts competition (17-11-0, 7 Kos, 9 SUBs, 1 December), the 6′ 2″, 260-pound Gonzaga holds 4th degree black belt in BJJ. The highlight of his MMA career was at the 2007 UFC 70 held in Manchester, United Kingdom, in which he knocked out K-1, Pride and Rizen champion Mirko Cro Copwith a head kick in the opening round, positioning Gonzaga for his unsuccessful challenge of UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture in his next fight.
