Vinnie Carita stops Gilberto Matheus Domingos in one round of body punches PhilBoxing.com Sun, 02 Apr 2017  WORCESTER, Mass. (April 2, 2017) - Popular Massachusetts heavyweight Vinnie "American Nightmare" Carita was too much for former South American champion Gilberto Matheus "El Magico" Domingos in last night's "New England's Future 2" main event at Worcester Palladium. A capacity crowd of 1,700 rocked the vintage venue from start to finish. "New England's Future 2" was presented by Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), which is owned and operated by retired three-time, two division world champion Jose Antonio Rivera and his son, matchmaker Anthonee (A.J.) Rivera. Rivera announced that "New England's Future 3" will be held June 10th at DCU Center, Exhibition Hall, in Worcester. Carita (16-1-1, 15 KOs), fighting out of Pembroke (MA), unleashed a relentless body attack on his Brazilian foe, Domingos (22-7, 20 KOs), who was unable to answer the bell for the second round due to damaged ribs. "I was hoping to get in more rounds but unfortunately I didn't get 'em tonight," Carita (pictured to the right) commented. "Based on his record, I thought he'd be more competitive, but that fell short. I keep stepping up (quality of his opponents) but they haven't lasted with me." The feel-good story of the evening was the long awaited return of Manchester (CT) lightweight Matt "Sharp Shooter" Remillard (24-1, 13 KOs), who was incarcerated five years and hadn't fought in six. Remillard pounded his opponent, Augustine "Ruthless" Mauras (6-2-3 3 KOs), whose toughness showed throughout the contest as Remillard pounded his Lawrence (MA) opponent to the body and head en route to a eight-round unanimous decision (80-71, 79-72, 78-73) in the co-feature. Mauras was deducted a point in the fourth round for headbutting. "I was a little rusty but I got better as the fight went on," Remillard said. "He's a tough kid who was slippery inside. If the fight went a little longer, I think I would have gotten him out of there." Worcester heavyweight Bryan Daniels (4-0, 2 KOs) remained undefeated, dropping "Money" Mike Sawyer (7-8, 5 KOs) four times in the opening round, the last coming on the end of a vicious left-hook, resulting in referee Mike Ryan immediatelty stopped the contest without counting.

Hot junior welterweight prospect "Marvelous" Mykquan Williams (6-0, 4 KOs), the 18-year-old high school senior from Manchester (CT), lived up to his nickname with an explosive first-round knockout of Mexican veteran fighter Israel "Tigre" Rojas (10-16, 3 KOs).
