Gabriel Duluc stops Larry Smith in 5 PhilBoxing.com Mon, 09 Apr 2018 Undefeated New England prospects Richard Rivera & Irvin Gonzalez Register sensational 1st round knockouts "Fight Night at The Zone" OFFICIAL RESULTS DERRY, N.H. (April 8, 2018) -- The official weigh in was held today for tomorrow (Saturday) evening's "Fight Night at the Zone," presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at The Sportszone in Derry, New Hampshire. In the main event, Dorchester, MA junior middleweight Gabriel Duluc (12-3, 3 KOs) used a vicious body attack to stop veteran Texas fighter Larry "Slomoshun" Smith in the fifth round. A right to the liver put Smith down, but he beat the referee Mike Ryan's count. Smith was unable to recover as he was pinned on the ropes by Duluc, who reeled off a dozen unanswered punches, forcing referee Ryan to end the fight. New England's hardest hitter is unquestionably UBF N.E. light heavyweight champion Richard "Popeye The Sailor Man" Rivera (7-0, 6 KOs), who knocked out cruiserweight Randy "The Rattler" Campbell (3-19, 2 KOs) with the first punch in their non-title fight, a lethal right that broke Campbell's lower right ankle. Flashy Worcester, MA prospect Irvin Gonzalez (9-0, 8 KOs) overwhelmed his Mexican opponent, junior welterweight Francisco "El Mono" Medel (12-13, 8 KOs), blasting him from every angle en route to a first-round technical knockout, in which Medal went to the canvas twice. New England cruiserweight champion Chris Traietti (26-4, 21 KOs), also the co-promoter, pounded "Jammin" James Morrow (12-23-3, 5 KOs) from pillar to post until referee Leo Gerstel halted the action in their non-title fight for a third-round technical knockout. Irish junior welterweight Paddy McGee, fighting out of Dorchester, MA, landed only two punches in his pro debut, both flooring Bardraiel Smith (0-4), for a quick first-round knockout. Stoughton, MA welterweight Travis "The Outlaw" Demko (6-1, 1 KO) outclassed Paul DeSouza (0-11), of Somerville, pitching a six-round shutout decision. With former world champion Wilfredo, Vasquez, Jr. supporting him, Springfield, MA welterweight Anthony Velasquez (2-0, 2 KOs) needed only 43 seconds to finish off Shavonte Dixon (0-3). Danbury, CT junior welterweight Omar "The Beast" Bordoy, Jr. (5-0, 1 KO) remained undefeated, taking a four-round unanimous decision from a game Carlos Galindo (0-2). Local favorite, Ricky Ford (2-1-1), fighting out Claremont, NH, dropped Woburn, MA junior middleweight Jaco Matsos (0-2) twice before the fight was stopped by referee Mike Ryan. New Jersey super middleweight Chris "Sandman" Thomas improved his pro record to 8-0-1 (5 KOs), when John Hantzopoulos (0-2) failed to answer the bell for the third round.
