Is Richard Pierson The Most Feared Super Middleweight Out There?

In addition to his consistency within the ring, one thing that stands out in super middleweight Richard Pierson’s career is the number of fights that continue to fall through for the rising star.

Last week Pierson was supposed to go to battle for the WBC FECARBOX Super Middleweight Title, but never had a chance to throw a punch as three opponents fell through.

First it was Gary Jones, then David Adotey Alottey, and last Aaron ‘Homicide’ Mitchell…all three planned to throw hands with Pierson, but when it came time to step up to the plate, no fighter followed through due to various reasons.

Throughout his career Pierson has faced his share of adversity inside the squared circle and having fights fall through, yet the emerging super middleweight has stayed focused and determined to work towards a world title shot.

Early on he found himself on the grand stage atop boxing’s Mecca’s in Vegas and Atlantic City, thrown into the ring as an ‘opponent’, and regularly coming out the victor.

“Everything happens for a reason,” said Pierson. “Gary Jones has a record of 22 wins and 2 losses; he had no reason to pull out. I believe he was coming out to challenge me but he just couldn't make the 168 pound limit. Danil of Ghana has 18 wins, 8 by KO and 2 losses; he made it to America but sadly he suffered a very bad cut above his left eye during his last sparring session. Aaron Mitchell is 27-1 with 21 KO and is no chump; he didn't pull out. Something went wrong with his meds. None of the fighters I was supposed to fight pulled out; it just wasn't in God’s plan for me to compete for the belt that night. My future isn't made by man so I leave it all in God's hands.”

Pierson prides himself on his fast and heavy hands, and has never stepped into the ring against an opponent with a losing record, something few fighters can say.

“I stay focused with the strength of my children and the positive people that are around me. Of course I would love to have had fought for the WBC FECARBOX Title and walked into my house with it but things happen. I am not upset nor did the cancellation of my fight affect me. I am still happy to even have the WBC look at me and give a chance; it shows me all my hard work is starting to pay off. I love boxing and finally boxing is starting to show me love back. I will have the belts when it’s my time.”

“This kid cannot get a fight,” said Lou Esa, former heavyweight fighter and Pierson’s manager. “We got guys who agree to fight him, but then they end up falling through. He’s a fierce puncher. Four times he was named the ‘B’ opponent, and each time he knocked out the ‘A’ fighter. Now everybody calls him ‘the career killer’. We are trying to get an opponent now for him for July 27 on ESPN.”

Middleweight Prospect Richard Pierson’s Upcoming April 18 Bout‏

Tickets Now Available For Middleweight Prospect Richard Pierson’s Upcoming April 18 Bout

Team Pierson has announced that tickets for middleweight prospect Richard Pierson are now available. Pierson will be stepping back into the ring April 18 at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, NJ, fresh off an impressive KO victory.

On February 17, Pierson (10-2, 7 KO) finished off Anibal Acevedo with a devastating right hand to the ribs at the end of the first round in his first fight back following an 18-month layoff.

“It felt good to be back in the ring, but feels even better to have a team,” said Pierson about his recent victory.

Throughout his career Pierson has dealt with his share of adversity and having fights fall through, yet he has stayed focus and determined to work towards a world title shot.

“The way I stay focused is that I keep my faith in God, and I stay around positive people,” said Pierson. “Boxing is life, and before you can get into that ring, you have to be mentally stable. You can’t get into the ring and have any doubt or concern for anything. So before I lace up the gloves, I make sure my household is safe and stable, and the people that surround me and care about me are happy. That is what really affects me and keeps me focused.”

Pierson has established himself as a top middleweight fighter with serious implications on making a title run by the end of 2012.

“I feel good about the upcoming fight; I’m hoping that nothing happens like it has in the past, where the fight falls through last minute,” said Pierson. “I’m working hard and training camp is going great, and I want to be able to get out there and work.”

Richard Pierson has waited patiently for his chance to shine. From day one all he has wanted to do is step between the ropes and have a fair shot, and although he has been thrown to the wolves countless times to simply be an opponent against “A” fighters, Pierson has rose above.

Pierson has caught the attention and respect of fellow fighters due to his unrelenting work ethic, determination and drive to excel in what he does.

Outside the ring Pierson is a dedicated student and full-time father, striving to give his children a better life. Quiet and humble, Pierson goes about life one day at a time, creating and seizing opportunities at will.

And for the first time in his career, Pierson has had a solid team around him to give him a full time training camp.

“It means a lot to have the resources around me and the people willing to put the time in,” said Pierson. “I am going to make the most of it, and it will show when I step between the ropes April 18.”
