<\/a>Former New England welterweight champion Derek \u201cThe Surgeon\u201d Silveira has a new opponent for his April 12th main event fight for the vacant N.E. welterweight title on a stacked \u201cRiot at The Rim\u201d card, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GSP), at The Rim in Hampton, New Hampshire.<\/p>\nSilveira (15-2, 8 KOs), fighting out of Salem, MA, will now take on 19-year-old Mexican knockout specialist Roberto \u201cViejo\u201d Valenzuela, Jr, (14-0, 13 KOs), who has replaced injured Travis \u201cThe Outlaw\u201d Demko (8-1, 1 KO), of Stoughton, MA, in the scheduled eight-round headliner.<\/p>\n
\u201cLosing Travis was tough blow but the determination to put on a jam-packed card didn\u2019t waiver,\u201d GCP promoter Chris Traietti said. \u201cDerek\u2019s camp was ready for a step-up fight and, quite frankly, Granite Chin was ready to make a statement in 2019. After a few days with the phone glued to my ear, Roberto Valenzuela Jr stepped up and took the fight.
