Ringside at the Palladium: Cassius Chaney and “Popeye” Rivera Win

Published

Ringside-at-the-Palladium-Cassius-Chaney-and-Popeye-Rivera-Win

WORCESTER — Inside the claustrophobic downtown Palladium, I’m ten feet away from an active boxing ring while spit, snot and sweat is raining down on me.

And God knows what else.

It’s an illuminated mist of manly danger. And though I’m certainly not wearing a mask, in my years of reporting from ringside I’ve always thought it wise to wear a brimmed hat. I find a baseball cap especially useful in keeping all that blood and guts out of my face and off of my stuff.

The scene last night in Worcester was one of normality. Hundreds of local boxing fans milled in close quarters, many fighting for space in standing room only sections. There were no restrictions put in place by the state and the vast majority in attendance were unmasked.

There were no surprises in the ring. No upsets scored. Every fighter who hustled his fair share of tickets to be on this Rivera Promotions show won as expected. And there were no girl fights.

Promoter Jose Antonio Rivera hopes to be back at this venue in November. It costs the promoter six thousand dollars to rent the Palladium as opposed to the fifteen grand required to rent out the much larger DCU event center across the street where he’s previously promoted.

In the main event scheduled for ten rounds, Main Events heavyweight prospect Cassius “C.O.G.” Chaney, 264, New London, CT, 21-0 (14) earned a unanimous decision against Shawndell Terell Winters, 219, Harvey, Illinois, 13-6 (12). Scores were 96-94, 98-92 and 97-93.

Chaney, cornered by a very vocal Stephen “Breadman” Edwards, had to deal with the fact that most fans left the building after “Popeye” Rivera won in the co-main. Then he had to deal with a delay as the Massachusetts boxing commission worked on broken boards beneath the canvas.

Chaney won the fight with his flicking jab and fresher skills. In the ninth round, an accidental clash of heads resulted in a cut to Chaney’s left eye. Chaney’s promoter Kathy Duva watched from ringside as her charge got 10 important rounds in against an experienced opponent.

Winters, who gave former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker a good go, wasn’t impressed. “I thought I outworked him. The reality is, I’m not an easy win. Kudos to Chaney.”

“I felt a little rusty,” confessed Chaney after getting his left eye looked at by ringside physicians. “He was using his head in there. The cut had me seeing double but he didn’t press the issue.”

Co-Main Event

Richard “Popeye” Rivera, 177, Hartford, CT, improved to 20-0 (15) with a first round blowout of Ernesto “Gatti” Rivas, 176, Guadalajara, México, 11-18 (6) in a scheduled 8-rounder. Rivas was itching and ready to go but he couldn’t take it to the body. “Popeye” ring walked through the crowd and he walked right through Rivas, decking the Mexican with a two-fisted body attack.

Fighting for the first time with John “The Iceman” Scully in his corner, “Popeye” Rivera overcame a six- month spell of inactivity to win for the first time since last February.

popeye

“God is number one. He is the center of everything.”

Rivera then called out Badou Jack of all people.

In the dressing room afterwards, Rivera explained his logic. “Badou is somebody I can make a statement fighting. I was supposed to fight a guy named Blake McKernan. He ended up fighting Jack on the Tyson-Jones undercard. The guy didn’t wanna fight me, he wanted to fight Jack. Jack won, and so I don’t want to fight the guy who lost. I wanna fight the guy who won!”

Trainer John “The Iceman” Scully offered his critique after really watching Rivera fight up close for the first time. “Look, as the trainer, I’m not as excited as some other people. There’s always gonna be a million things to work on. We’re not looking to fight Canelo or Beterbiev at this point.”

Undercard Bouts

Wilfredo “El Sucaro” Pagan, 140, Southbridge, MA via Puerto Rico, 6-1-1 (3) and Carlos Marrero, 137, Bridgeport, CT, 2-6-2 went to war over six rounds and neither boxer emerged with a win. The judges saw it a draw, 58-56 Pagan, 59-55 Marerro and 57-57 even. This was the most entertaining and most competitive fight on the whole card and local fans loved the action.

I caught up with both battered warriors in the dressing room after the fight. “It was a real old-fashioned war,” said the 41-year-old Pagan. “I thought I won four rounds but I’m not a judge.”

“It was very intense,” Marrero told me afterwards as blood leaked from his right eye. “Because he was the crowd favorite, I tried to push a little bit more in the last ten seconds of every round.”

There will probably be a rematch.

Bryant Daniels, 220, Worcester, 6-1 (4) earned a first round TKO when Corey Morey, unofficially 300, Philadelphia, 1-5, fell down in a corner and grabbed his left knee. Daniels is a 2-time New England Golden Gloves champion and his time spent in the unpaid ranks once saw him share a ring with the now deceased Boston Bomber. Tonight he shared it with a Philadelphia Doughboy.

Daniels hasn’t been in the ring since October 2017, a decision loss to a guy named Josh Temple down in Atlanta. “This is my comeback fight. I’ll take what I can get. I’ve been off three years.”

Daniels works in insurance sales and had to choose working over fighting during the pandemic. In comparing the two vastly disparate professions, Daniels declared, “It’s still measuring risk.”

Crowd favorite Bobby “BH3” Harris III, 167, Worcester, 3-0-1 needed a little help from the officials to score a unanimous 4-round decision over Juan Celin Zapata, 166, Bronx via Honduras, 6-19-2 (4). Zapata, fit and ready to rumble, scored an uncalled knockdown in the second round off a wild left hook that decked Harris in his own corner. In the third, a bad cut appeared over the right eye of Harris and it bled until the final bell. Scores: 40-36, 39-36, 40-35.

Harris thanked his mom and went to get stitches.

Enrique Collazo, 168, San Juan, Puerto Rico, 16-1-1 (11) scored a fourth round TKO of Ronald Montes, 168, Colombia, 18-14 (16) when Montes stayed on the stool after suffering a knockdown in the fourth round. For his efforts, they put a minor title on the waist of Collazo.

Heavyweight Demek Edmonds, 199, Worcester, 3-0 (2) pounded out a forgettable 4-round decision over Rafael De Souza, 206, Brazil, 0-2. Edmonds, 26, is a 3-time New England Golden Gloves champion and he’s still adjusting to life in the pros. Scores: 40-36 on all three cards.

Angel Gonzalez, 127, Hartford, CT, 5-0 (3) overcame a massive height disadvantage against Richard “Hard To Hit” Barnard, 135, Hawaii, 1-5-1 to score a 4-round unanimous decision. The reason Barnard was so damn hard to hit is that his tiny opponent could barely reach his chin.

Eslih “Mr. Slick” Owuso, 161, Worcester, MA via Ghana, 5-0 (2) stopped the very unwilling Carlos Galindo, 159, Woburn via Peru, 1-17 in the first round when referee Leo Gerstel saw enough flopping around on the canvas from Galindo. Time of the TKO was: 1:32. Owuso wears his long hair like Lennox Lewis while Galindo’s only win came against Maine’s Brandon Berry.

In the opening bout of the evening, Josniel “TG” Castro, 155, Florida, 4-0 (2) made a punching bag out of Anthony Everett, 154, Lawrence, MA 1-9 (0), scoring a unanimous 4-round decision. Castro scored a knockdown off a left hook in the second. Judge’s Scores: 40-34 on all cards.

All things considered, it was an entertaining night at the fights and it’s good to be back in the press section and chasing these boxers into the dressing rooms for interviews. Worcester’s own Edwin “La Bomba” Rodriquez was spotted at ringside by this reporter looking a few pounds over 175. I asked Edwin if he planned to ever fight again. That’s when the bomb went off.

“No, I’m retired.”

New England’s future starts now.

Mbilli Stays Unbeaten: Outpoints Gongora in a Bruising Tiff

Published

Mbilli-Stays-Unbeaten-Outpoints-Gongora-in-a-Bruising-Tiff

Camille Estephan’s “Eye of the Tiger” promotions returned to the Montreal Casino tonight with an 8-bout card capped by an intriguing match between super middleweights Christian Mbilli and Carlos Gongora, both former Olympians.

The Cameroon-born Mbilli (pictured on the left) represented France in the 2016 Rio Games. He was undefeated (23-0, 16 KOs) coming in and ranked #2 by the WBA. The Massachusetts-based Gongora, a two-time Olympian for his native Ecuador, brought a 23-1 (16) record, his lone defeat coming on the road in Manchester, England, to currently undefeated Lerrone Richards.

When the smoke cleared, Mbilli won a unanimous decision, but the scores (99-91, 98-92, and 97-93) were misleading as this was an entertaining fight and the granite-chinned Gondora, a southpaw, was always a threat to turn the tide with his signature punch, a left uppercut. In fact, he may have landed the best punch of the fight when he hurt Mbilli in the opening minute of the eighth round. But the muscular Mbilli shook off the cobwebs and stormed back, dominating the final minute of the eighth and then finishing strong, nearly forcing a stoppage with a non-stop assault in the final frame.

Mbilli would love to fight the winner of Saturday’s tiff between David Benavidez and Caleb Plant, but that’s not likely to happen. A more likely scenario finds Mbilli opposing fellow unbeaten Vladimir Shishkin, the Detroit-based Russian.

Co-Feature

Simon Kean, a six-foot-five, 250-pound heavyweight from Three Rivers, Quebec, advanced to 23-1 (22 KOs) with a seventh-round stoppage of 40-year-old warhorse Eric Molina (29-9).

Both were tentative during most of the match. The end came rather suddenly when Kean knocked Molina down with an overhand right after landing a good left hook. The punch did not appear to land flush, but Molina was swaying as he made it to his feet and the referee called it off.

It was not a particularly impressive performance by Kean. Molina, a special education teacher in the Rio Grande Valley community of Edinburg, Texas, hinted before the bout that this would be his final fight. That would be a sensible idea. He has been stopped six times in his last 10 outings and nine times overall.

Also

In a 10-round bout contested at 140 pounds, Calgary veteran Steve Claggett improved to 34-7-2 (24) with a TKO over Mexican import Rafael Guzman Lugo (26-3-2) whose corner pulled him out after seven frames. This was a good action fight fought at close quarters, albeit Claggett was clearly in control when the bout was halted.

A Conversation About Boxing with Author and Journalist Steve Marantz

Published

on

A-Conversation-About-Boxing-with-Noted-Author-and-Journalist-Rick-Marantz

If you ask former sportswriter Steve Marantz when was boxing’s Golden Age, he’s quick with a response.

His answer just so happens to coincide with the period when he was on the beat as a boxing columnist for the Boston Globe (1979-1987).

“You could argue that boxing has had a few Golden Ages, but yes, that was an exciting and memorable era,” said Marantz, who sat ringside for many legendary matches. “The round-robin bouts amongst [Ray] Leonard, [Marvin] Hagler, [Thomas] Hearns and [Roberto] Duran, certainly was a major element.”

Those four legends are important but other weight division kings also played an integral role in boxing’s global popularity.

“Let’s not forget [Aaron] Pryor, [Alexis] Arguello, [Julio Cesar] Chavez, [Salvador] Sanchez, [Hector] Camacho, [Wilfredo] Gomez, Michael Spinks, [Dwight Muhammad] Qawi, [Donald] Curry, [Mike] Tyson and [Evander] Holyfield,” Marantz offered. “The key was competitive balance in most of the divisions.”

Marantz began his journalism career in 1973 at the Kansas City Star after graduating from the University of Missouri. After leaving the Globe, he worked for the Boston Herald (1999-2004) and ESPN (2004-2016). Nowadays, in addition to freelance writing for publications such as the Jewish Journal of Greater Boston, he produces the podcast “Championship Stories.”

Marantz recalled one particular moment that stood out while covering boxing and it happened at Aaron Pryor’s training camp.

“I have a vivid memory of his workout before he fought Arguello in Miami, November 1982. He had a hot funk song on the speakers, “You Dropped A Bomb On Me,” and as it played, loudly, he shadow-boxed to its beat and lyrics,” he recalled. “A rope was stretched across the gym, four feet off the floor, and Pryor moved along the rope, ducking under and back, gloves flashing. He was hypnotized by the music, in a trance. Hypnotized me, too. A moment that made boxing so cool to cover.”

That classic matchup at the famed Orange Bowl was halted in the 14th round with Pryor winning by technical knockout.

Anyone at Caesars Palace on April 15, 1985, knows what happened over roughly eight minutes of hot action when Hagler and Hearns tangled. It was nonstop punches from both participants.

“Hagler and Hearns fought as if possessed,” recalled Marantz of that showdown. “The stark final image [for me] was that of Hearns, now helpless, semiconscious, looking very like a black Christ taken from the cross, in the arms of a solemn aide.

“Hagler’s pent-up bitterness found release in a violent attack, even as each crack of Hearns’ gloves reinforced a lifetime of slights. In the end, Hearns was martyred to absolve Hagler of victimization. The first round is legendary, among the most vicious and splendid ever fought on the big fight stage. Action accelerated so quickly that spectators were left breathless. Punches windmilled into a blur, though the actual count was 82 punches for Hagler and 83 for Hearns, about three times that of a typical round.”

While that fight has blended into boxing folklore, a 1976 Olympic gold medal winner from Palmer Park, Maryland, was the epitome of true greatness for Steve Marantz.

“The way Sugar Ray Leonard maneuvered [Roberto] Duran to ‘No Mas’ in their rematch was brilliant. His grit and toughness beat Hearns, one of the great fights of the 1980s. And he beat Hagler with brains and psychology. Not to overlook his win over [Wilfred] Benitez in 1979. He was gorgeous to watch, stylish and rhythmic. His combinations were a blur. And he strategized like a chess master. Smooth and cooperative in interviews, always aware of the marketing and promotional necessities. Leonard was the gold standard.”

Marantz re-visited the Hagler-Leonard fight and the drama that surrounded it in “Sorcery at Caesars: Sugar Ray’s Marvelous Fight,” first released in 2008 and now available as an eBook.

Boxing’s been called the cruelest and the most unforgiving sport, but it’s also filled with high drama.

“It’s a test of athleticism, intelligence, grit and character. At its best, it’s dramatic and unpredictable, exciting,” Marantz said of the fight game. “A rich history of iconic personalities and events. Joe Louis and Max Schmeling, for example. A window into history bigger than just sport, a window into popular culture and politics.”

Marantz fondly recalls some of the characters he met while covering the sweet science: “Promoters Don King and Bob Arum, both conniving quotable snakes. Trainer Ray Arcel, in his 80s, a pillar of honesty and integrity. Emanuel Steward and Prentiss Byrd, running the Kronk Gym as a beacon of light and hope in Detroit’s blighted inner city. In Brockton, Massachusetts, two Italian-American brothers, Goody and Pat Petronelli, formed a sacred trust with an African- American boxer, Marvin Hagler.”

Marantz went on: “On my first newspaper job with the Kansas City Times/Star, I met a kindly trainer, Peyton Sher, who welcomed me into his gym and taught me the basics,” he said. “Never will forget Daeshik Seo, the Korean therapist for Larry Holmes who two weeks before the Holmes-[Gerry] Cooney fight in June 1982, tipped me to a story that a member of Holmes’ entourage pulled a pistol on Cooney’s entourage at Caesars Palace. Caesars top brass had to call Holmes on the carpet to get his people under control. Holmes was incensed at the story. In his media session after he won, he said I wrote it because I was [expletive] … and that I worked in a racist city, Boston.”

Marantz has never been put off by the seedy elements of the sport. “I don’t feel polarized by it.,” he says. “Nobody is forced to box. Nobody is forced to watch it. The world has bigger problems than boxing.”

Marantz has fond memories of the people he met and the friendships he made while covering boxing. Does he miss not being rinigside? “Not really,” he says. “My time came and went. Journalism and life took me in other directions. I do have some nostalgia for that era, and for the people who were part of it.”

Having been around the sweet science for a spell, Marantz offered sage advice to anyone inclined to mix it up: “Be disciplined, work hard, find a good trainer, learn the subtleties, read the tea leaves and don’t be pig-headed.”

Actually, all of those traits are always handy, even if one doesn’t step into the ring.

Mercito Gesta Victorious Over Jojo Diaz at the Long Beach Pyramid

Published

Mercito-Gesta-Victorious-Over-Jojo-Diaz-at-the-Long-Beach-Pyramid

LONG BEACH, CA.-Those in the know knew Mercito Gesta and Jojo Diaz would be a fight to watch and they delivered.

Gesta emerged the winner in a super lightweight clash between southpaws that saw the judges favor his busier style over Diaz’s body attack and bigger shots and win by split decision on Saturday.

Despite losing the main event because the star was overweight, Gesta (34-3-3, 17 KOs) used an outside method of tactic to edge past former world champion Diaz (32-4-1, 15 KOs) in front of more than 5,000 fans at the Pyramid.

The speedy Gesta opened up the fight with combination punching up and down against the peek-a-boo style of Diaz. For the first two rounds the San Diego fighter overwhelmed Diaz though none of the blows were impactful.

In the third round Diaz finally began unloading his own combinations and displaying the fast hands that helped him win world titles in two divisions. Gesta seemed stunned by the blows, but his chin held up. The counter right hook was Diaz’s best weapon and snapped Gesta’s head back several times.

Gesta regained control in the fifth round after absorbing big blows from Diaz. He seemed to get angry that he was hurt and opened up with even more blows to send Diaz backpedaling.

Diaz targeted his attack to Gesta’s body and that seemed to slow down Gesta. But only for a round.

From the seventh until the 10th each fighter tried to impose their style with Gesta opening up with fast flurries and Diaz using right hooks to connect with solid shots. They continued their method of attack until the final bell. All that mattered was what the judges preferred.

After 10 rounds one judge saw Diaz the winner 97-93 but two others saw Gesta the winner 99-91, 98-92. It was a close and interesting fight.

“I was expecting nothing. I was the victor in this fight and we gave a good fight,” said Gesta. “It’s not an easy fight and Jojo gave his best.”

Diaz was surprised by the outcome but accepted the verdict.

Everything was going good. I thought I was landing good body shots,” said Diaz. “I was pretty comfortable.”

Other Bouts

Mexico’s Oscar Duarte (25-1-1, 20 KOs) knocked out Chicago’s Alex Martin (18-5, 6 KOs) with a counter right hand after dropping him earlier in the fourth round. The super lightweight fight was stopped at 1:14 of the round.

A battle between undefeated super welterweights saw Florida’s Eric Tudor (8-0, 6 KOs) emerge the winner by unanimous decision after eight rounds versus Oakland’s Damoni Cato-Cain.

The taller Tudor showed polished skill and was not bothered by a large cut on his forehead caused by an accidental clash of heads. He used his jab and lead rights to defuse the attacks of the quick-fisted southpaw Cato-Cain. The judges scored the fight 80-72 and 78-74 twice for Tudor.

San Diego’s Jorge Chavez (5-0, 4 KOs) needed less than one round to figure out Nicaragua’s Bryan Perez (12-17-1, 11 KOs) and send him into dreamland with a three-punch combination. No need to count as referee Ray Corona waved the fight over. Perez shot a vicious right followed by another right and then a see-you-later left hook at 3.00 of the first round of the super featherweight match.
