Rivera Wins By First-Round KO in Harrisonburg, VA!

Charlottsville, VA junior middleweight George "War Time" Rivera scored a first-round technical knockout over Nathan Ward of West Portsmouth, OH at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds in Harrisonburg, VA.

The win is Rivera's fifth straight and raises his record to 6-1, three KO's. Ward's record evens to 1-1.

Prior to Rivera's victory, his trainer Bruce "The Hammer" Frank, made his pro debut on the card. The 47-year-old Frank fought to a four-round draw against Kenneth Carey of Wildwood, NJ. Carey's record is now 0-8-2. After his bout, Frank worked Rivera's corner.

Frank now joins Scott "Duke" Buchanan and Danny Kisner as top Beltway-area trainers who have decided to put on the gloves themselves.

It's so sad that so many small minds are posting comments. And just to clear some assumptions on George's intelligence he was always in a gifted class and on honor roll when in college had a GPA 4.0. He also won the athlete of the year award. If you don't know someone please keep your comments to yourself. George, has nothing negative to say about any of the boxers. As children we learn if you have nothing to say nice about anyone don't say nothing at all. Peace and A Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Who ever said WAR TIME talks S__T does not know George. George is a man with nothing but good things to say about people. If you are angry because he has so many family, friends and fans posting thier love for hime then you need to become somebody that people love and admire. Get in the ring and show your own courage in the boxing game. For the record George has not posted one comment on the Beltway Polls or anywhere else. And for all you haters GET A LIFE!!

GEORGE, DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF..THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE COMING FROM SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T KNOW YOU AS THE TRUE HUMBLE MAN YOU ARE OUTSIDE THE RING. POSTING NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT ANOTHER BOXER AND RUNNING OFF AT THE MOUTH IS NOT GEORGE'S STYLE FOR THOSES WHO DON'T KNOW HIM! YOUR ENVY AND ANGER IS REALLY AT THE LOVE THAT HE IS GETTING AND IT'S EATTING YOU ALIVE!! NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE GOOD BECAUSE YOU COUNT WHO LOVES YOU AND WHO HATES YOU...SO FAR GEORGE HAS NOTHING BUT LOVE!!

Don't take any of the negative comments posted at heart..they are an indication that some are intiminated by your growing talent. Continue to pursue your dreams and remember that it's a sport and it doesn't define the true man you are outside the ring. You well know that you are loved, respected and admired by so many. Best of luck and love your haters it's good for the soul! God Bless and have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. Ant, Englewood, NJ
