Boston vs. New York is a classic matchup that has dominated sports headlines in the northeast for years as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox waged countless wars while the New England Patriots faced the New York Giants in two Super Bowls and continued their longtime rivalry with the New York Jets. The rich tradition of this rivalry has also spilled into the ring as many top fighters from each region have faced-off over the years.

The first significant Boston vs. NYC fight goes back to 1927 at Yankee Stadium, ווען דזשאַק דעמפּסי סטאַפּט דזשאַק “The Boston Gob” Sharkey in the seventh round of their heavyweight title eliminator to challenge world champion גענע טאַני. Controversy surrounded this fight as Sharkey, a sailor in the U.S. יאַמ-פלאָט, fought his boxing idol, Dempsey, who along with Babe Ruth ruled Manhattan during America’s Golden Age of Sports in the 1920s. Sharkey out-boxed Dempsey for six rounds until, complaining to the referee about Dempsey’s low punches, he was knocked out cold with a picture-perfect left hook.

Another legendary heavyweight champion from the Boston area, שטיינערדיק מאַרסיאַנאָ, wouldn’t have retired with his famous 49-0 record if one round or another were scored differently against Bronx favorite Roland LaStarza in 1950. Marciano took a questionable 10-round decision from LaStarza at Madison Square Garden. Three years later at the Polo Grounds, Marciano successfully defended his world title, knocking out LaStarza in the 11^טהround of their 1953 פייט פון די יאר.

A pair of Hall of Fame heavyweights from Brooklyn, פלויד Patterson און “ייַזן” מייק טיסאָן, ריספּעקטיוולי, knocked out Boston’s Tom McNeeley און זיין זון, Peter McNeeley. McNeeley dropped Patterson once but he hit the deck 11 times before finally succumbing in the fourth round of their 1961 title fight in Toronto. His son, פעטרוס, lost by first-round disqualification to Tyson who was fighting for the first since being released from prison.

A fireman from Boston with brittle hands, Paul Pender, twice defeated arguably the consensus Greatest of All-time, Harlem’s “צוקער” Ray ראָבינסאָן, not once but twice by 15-round split decisions in 1960 world middleweight title fights at the Boston Garden.

“ווונדערלעך” מאַרווין האַגלער, a transplanted New Jersey fighter who lived in Marciano’s hometown of Brockton, מאַסע., felt ripped off when he was given a draw in his first world title fight against Brooklyn’s defending champion וויטאָ אַנטואָפערמאָ אין לאַס וועגאַס. Two years later in 1981, Hagler captured the coveted crown at the Boston Garden as Antuofermo retired after four rounds.

Even Lowell’s “איריש” מיקקי וואַרד had a New York City rival in Brooklyn’s זאַב יהודה, who he dropped a hard-fought 12-round decision to in 1998. For many years Judah said Ward was the toughest opponent he ever fought.

מער לעצטנס, Irish Olympian Kevin McBride, fighting out of the Dorchester section of Boston, ended Tyson’s career in 2005 with a sixth-round TKO victory that left the boxing world in shock, and Boston heavyweight יוחנן רויז – the only Latino heavyweight champion of the world – won a 2008 fight in Mexico against Harlem’s דזשאַמעעל מקקלינע by 12-round decision in a world title eliminator.

אויף אָקטאָבער 10, אָוקאַנער, בראַסעראָ, Kielczweski and Vazquez will have their opportunity to not only represent their hometowns, but to etch themselves into the annals of the rivalry.
