Boxrec gives this as his 1944-1946 record. The 1946 RRB has a record for him, 1937 through 1945. He was winless in 57 bouts with 5 draws and was stopped 10 times. The 1944-45 record in the RRB is nearly the same as the record posted in boxrec but it inludes one additional stoppage by Willie calhoun in Boston. Combining both record we have 1 win 57 (12) losses and 5 draws. His career highlight appears to have been his 3rd from last fight where he netted his tko win. Boxrec spells the name as Rivera but I used the
spelling Riviera from the RRB as a "more unique" spelling.
aka (Sammy Rivers) birthplace looks like Mexico City from the RRB.
