Вустер, Омма. (Март 20, 2017) – The long trip back begins April 1уми барои Мат “Sharp Shooter” Remillard, 12 years to the day from his professional debut, дар бораи “New England’s Future 2” show at the Palladium in Worcester, Массачусетс.
Remillard (23-1, 13 KOs), fighting out of Manchester, Коннектикут, hasn’t boxed for the six years, due to him serving a five-year prison sentence. He takes on Lawrence (MA) қабул намояд Augustine “Беҳрам” Maura (6-1-3, 3 KOs) in the eight-round co-feature. If their tense, near volatile stare-down at a recent press conference is a true indication, Remillard vs. Mauras is not going the distance, to put things mildly.
New England’s Future 2″ is presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, қаҳрамони ҷаҳон ду тақсим Хосе Антонио Ривера ва писараш, Anthonee (A.J.) Ривера.
“I am excited to have a boxer of Remillard’s caliber on our ‘New England’s Future 2’ чорабинӣ ба бокс,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “He has a tough match against August time Mauras for his first fight back. Knowing Remillard, ҳатто, he wouldn’t have it any other way. I want to thank Matt, Paul Cichon (тренер сардори) and their team for trusting Rivera Promotions Entertainment for Matt’s first boxing match back from his long layoff.”
Remillard is a former World Boxing Council (WBC) Иёлоти Муттаҳидаи Амрико & Youth World, North American Boxing Federation (NABF) ва Созмони ҷаҳонии бокс (WBO) featherweight champion. His lone pro loss came in his last fight, Март 23, 2011 in Atlantic City to then rising star Mikey Гарсия (24-0), when Remillard retired after 11 Даврањои. He won’t make excuses; Аммо, he never should have taken the fight with Garcia, facing the impending court case that sent him to prison and working with a new head trainer he’d only met two weeks prior to the fight.
“I’m confident I can get back to where I was in about a year,” the 30-year-old Remillard said. “A dream come true would be a rematch with Garcia, at any weight, but I have to earn that shot. Everybody wants a rematch with the guy who gave you the first loss. It seldom happens but, агар не, in time I believe there will be other big fights out there for me.
“I’m fighting an opponent who fought by buddy, Chip Perez, се маротиба (0-2-1), so I’m familiar with his style. He doesn’t back down. I don’t expect him to back down against me…until he feels my power. I’m going to take out those five years that I was away on him. I’ve been through so much the last six year but I’m most comfortable in the gym. The past is past and this is my last run. Paul and I have a lot of unfinished business to take care of.”
Seventeen years ago, Chicon first met Remillard at the Manchester PAL gym, but he made the 13-year-old aspiring boxer earn his opportunity to be trained. Paul made Matt clean the bathrooms, take care of spit buckets, ва ғайра. before he started training him.
“When he returned to the gym a few months back, I saw that his work ethic hadn’t faded,” Cichon commented. “I don’t believe he’s really that far away from where he was six years ago. He was idle five years but his first day back he sparred 12 Даврањои. He stayed in good physical shape and is hungrier than ever. He thinks he has something to prove after his last fight, but he really doesn’t have anything to prove to me or anybody else. He is fighting a tough kid but Matt’s going to be victorious. I think in four or five more fights he’ll be back where he was in boxing.”
Pembroke (MA) cruiserweight Vinnie “American Nightmare” Carita (15-1-1, 14 KOs will headline against Brazilian KO specialist Gilberto Matheus “El Magico” Domingos (22-6, 20 KOs), the former South American light heavyweight champion, in the eight-round main event.

Worcester’s boxing tradition started close to a century ago with Canadian import Lou Brouillard, a two-division world champion and Hall of Famer, 1928 Olympic bronze medalist Leo Sawicki, and more recently, дар байни дигарон, pro and amateur standouts such as multiple national amateur champion Bobby Harris, Шон “The Irish Express” Sean Fitzgerald ва Эдвин Rodriguez.
Arguably the greatest Worcester fighter in the past 50 years is three-time, қаҳрамони ҷаҳон ду-таќсимоти Jose Antonio “The Gallo” Ривера, who is promoting “Ояндаи New Англия” with his son, Anthonee. “I have seen Irvin train and fight since he was in the Junior Olympics,” Rivera said. “I am very proud of him because he was able to discover on his own that he was getting in his own way. He was always a talented fighter but, at times in the ring, he was inconsistent and it cost him a few fights. As he got older, he boxed more talented boxers and looked good against them. He started believing in himself more and it showed in his training. His abilities and confidence grew and that got him all the way to the Olympic Trials. I feel he has the skills to become world champion in the future. The sky is the limit for this young man and I am proud to have him fighting on our show.”
Гонсалес, як 2015 New Англия тиллоӣ қаҳрамони дастпӯшак, will be headlining his first show in his first scheduled six-round bout. “Fighting in my hometown in the main event means a lot to me because,” Gonzalez admitted. “I’ve grown up in this city, fighting my whole life, and of people who’ve supported me will be watching me fight for the first time as a pro. Ман ба ҳаяҷон омадам. I’m comfortable fighting here in Worcester and I want to showcase the boxing talent we have in Worcester.”
Gonzalez qualified for the 2016 Olympic Trials but he was eliminated, not due to a loss in the ring, for missing weight. He decided not to wait four years for another Olympic shot, turning pro this past March with a first-round stoppage of Gilvan Santos at Foxwoods Resort Casino. In four pro fights to date, Gonzalez has four knockouts and only one was extended into the second round.
“I was always told that I had a pro boxing style,” the well-spoken, handsome Gonzalez continued, “but we didn’t immediately decide to turn pro until the time was right. I had some stoppages as an amateur but, як халки, I’ve been going more to the body. I do have heavy hands. I don’t go into a fight looking for a knockout. I just let ’em come but I’ve prepared to go six rounds if needed for this fight. I’ve been sparring eight rounds with different guys coming in fresh.”
In addition to being a prize fighter, the 20-year-old Gonzalez works at a bank and he also owns and operates New England Boxing gym with his father, former boxer Irvin Gonzalez, where the youngster serves as a personal trainer.

49-year-old pro boxer “Ирландӣ” Chuck Shearns Hanging up gloves January 19th

БАРОИ фавран озод
REMINDER: The deadline to apply for a media credential is Jan. 12уми

Вустер, Омма. (Январ 5, 2017) – Auburn (MA) middleweight хурд “Ирландӣ” Chuck Shearns will become the second-oldest professional fighter in Massachusetts boxing history рӯзи панҷшанбе шаб, Январ 19, in his farewell performance at the Worcester Palladium, marking the first pro boxing event in Worcester, located in Central Mass., in more than five years.
Дар Пенг “Ояндаи New Англия” series event is being presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by one of Worcester’s all-time greatest boxers – 3-вақт, 2-қаҳрамони ҷаҳон Воҳиди Jose Antonio “The Gallo” Ривера – ва писараш, Anthonee “AJ” Ривера.
Rising junior lightweight prospect, 2015 New Англия тиллоӣ қаҳрамони дастпӯшак Irvin Gonzalez (4-0, 4 KOs), will be fighting at home in the 6-round main event against Mexican invader Oscar Eduardo Quezada (2-1, 1 KO), while Springfield (MA) гаронвазн нур Reinaldo “Bazooka” Graceski (4-0, 2 KOs) meets Worcester’s Ralph Johnson (2-9, 1 KO) in the six-round co-feature.
The 49-year-old Shearns (2-1, 1 KO), who is the general manager of Lundgren Honda in Auburn, бар мегирад Shavonte Dixon (0-1), Филоделфия, in a four-round bout. The state record, set in 2011 by then 53-year-old Joe Siciliano, is safe because Jan. 19уми will definitely be Shearns’ last fight.
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for all boxers in terms of what they go through to be able to perform at their best in the ring,” promoter Jose Antonio Rivera said. “Chuck is doing it at 49 сола! That takes a lot of sacrifice and courage to put your body through that rugged training. I wish him the best and I am glad I can provide him with the opportunity to be able to say goodbye to boxing on his own terms.”
Shearns made his amateur debut at the age of 29, 10 years later he made his professional debut. “I grew up watching boxing with my father (Юҳанно), who boxed in the Navy, and my grandfather (Юҳанно),” Shearns explained. “My grandfather was a club fighter, ҳамин тавр, boxing was in my blood. I only had four amateur fights and one day I met “Fitzy,” who is now one of my closest friends. (Sean Fitzgerald, one of Worcester’s all-time best boxers, who is Shearns’ head trainer.) I told him I wanted one pro fight and asked him to train me.”
Чаро, ҳатто, дар синни 49 does he still put himself through such extensive training, while working fulltime during the holiday season, to fight an opponent half his age?
“Boxing was the ultimate hobby for me and I just got carried away with it,” Shearns admitted. “I’m a novelty, not a real pro boxer. I’m fighting Январ 19уми because I was given this opportunity and decided to accept it but, ростқавлона, I’m sure that this it! Maybe I just wanted a chance to go out with a win because I lost my last one? I don’t know. Sometimes I wake up asking myself, ‘What am I doing?’ And ‘Fitzy’ is working me so hard for this fight – I don’t know if it’s my age or what – but I’ve hated every minute of it. I lost my father in March. He was always in my corner and this fight I’ll have RIP on my trunks in his honor.”
Lately, Shearns’ typical day has been, хуб, in a word, unordinary, to say the least. He reports to work at 5 саҳарӣ., exercises and runs on the treadmill for an hour in a small gym at work, catches up with “Fitzy” at Anytime Fitness to hit the heavy and speed bags, and after work “Fitzy” trains Shearns at Camp Get Right.
Shearns has the complete support of his family and co-workers, who will all be at the Worcester Palladium supporting him Jan. 19. “My wife (Karen) and two daughters (Kayla and Olivia) have always been there for me,” Shearns noted. “My wife supports me and has jokingly said, ‘We’re getting divorced if you lose this fight.’ I’ve worked at Lundgren Honda for about 20 years and most of the 100-plus employees there will be at my fight. I did want to fight one more time before I turn 50. When Jose asked me to fight, how could I pass up this final opportunity?”
Also fighting on the undercard in 4-round bouts are Worcester junior lightweight Andino Ranse in his pro debut vs. Lowell’s (MA) Йӯнотон Форас (2-0-1, 2 KOs), pro-debuting Worcester heavyweight Felix Martinez против. Dorchester’s (MA) Brian Richardson (0-8), Hartford’s (Ч.) pro-debuting light heavyweight Ричард “Popeye The Man Сейлор” Ривера против. Brockton’s (MA) Huston Crayton (1-8, 0 KOs), pro-debuting Southbridge (MA) муштзан Wilfredo Pagan против. Puerto Rican Alexander Picot (1-1-1, 0 KOs) at a 145-pound catchweight, pro-debuting Springfield (MA) junior featherweight Луис “Pancho” Сантяго против, Mexican Jonathan Ramos (1-2, 0 KOs), 2016 N.W.
