Mashantucket, CT (ספטמבר 16, 2017) – Undefeated Irishman Niall “בום בום” Kennedy won a controversial 10-round split decision versus defending champion Alexis Santos to capture the New England heavyweight championship in last night’s (יום שבת) אירוע מרכזי של ברודווי אגרוף held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
The ברודווי אגרוף series is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX, and Christos Steak House. Last night’s show, which was streamed by FightNight LIVE on Facebook, was promoted in association with Murphys Boxing.
Kennedy (9-0, 5 קוס), fighting out of Galway, אירלנד, by way of Boston, battled Santos in a competitive, action-packed brawl to be awarded the N.E. title by scores of 96-93, 96-93, 93-96. The majority of fans in attendance, outside of Kennedy’s Irish supporters, and the ringside media felt that Santos, מלורנס, תואר שני, had the edge and deserved the decision.
שופט Al LoBianco deducted a point from Santos in the ninth round for a highly questionable low blow and failed to rule a knockdown when it appeared the ropes kept Kennedy upright in a tremendous last round surge from the Dominican American.
בהתקף-השתתפות שיתוף, אלוף עולם לשעבר שלי “הדרך של Shelito” וינסנט (20-1, 1 KO), of Providence, RI, defeated former world title challenger אנג'ל “Non-Stop” Gladney (9-13-1, 6 קוס) in a junior lightweight match. The colorful Vincent was the aggressor throughout the fight, effectively cutting off the ring, outboxing and walking down Gladney for a lop-sided eight-round unanimous decision (80-72, 80-71 פעמיים).

Rising Connecticut welterweight star “נפלא” Mykquan Williams שיפר את השיא שלו ל 8-0 (4 קוס), pitching a complete shutout in an impressive six-round unanimous decision (all 60-54) win over a much more experienced and considerably taller Evincii “Prize Fighter” Dixon (7-20-2, 2 קוס). Williams is a 19-year-old from East Hartford who is a freshman at Manchester Community College.

2012 אוקראיני אולימפי Ievgen “The Ukrainian Lion” Khytrov (15-1, 13 קוס), נלחם בברוקלין, bounced back from his only pro loss with a near shutout eight-round decision victory (80-72 פעמיים, 79-73) over his always tough super middleweight adversary, battle-tested veteran עֲגוּרָן “סוּפֶּרמֶן” Finley (27-22-1, 18 קוס).
“It was different when I first started training after a loss,” Khytrov said after the fight. “I started to think more and work on my defense; to fight much smarter instead of just brawling, throwing punches, like I did before my loss. I came the US four years ago from a small country that’s not rich to become a world champion. I feel I’m back on the right track.

Hot New England junior welterweight prospect Adrian “Tonka” סוסה (5-0, 4 קוס) stepped up in class against Mexican פרנסיסקו “El Mono” Medel (11-10, 7 קוס), and remained undefeated by displaying his overall game, offensively and defensively. Fighting out of Lawrence, תואר שני, the 2014 N.E. amateur champion Sosa dropped Medal with a straight right in the first round, a sneaky body shot in the second and finished him off in the third with a crisp right to the temple as referee Al LoBianco immediately halted the action.
Pro-debuting welterweights Nicky DeQuattro (1-0, 1 KO) ו Timothy Wheeler (0-1) engaged in a street fight from the opening bell until DeQuartro, fighting out of Johnson, RI, connected with an overhand right that dropped his New York City rival. רגעים לאחר מכן, DeQuattro unleashed a four-punch combination that dropped Wheeler for a complete 10-count.
The night started with a barnburner as former Irish amateur standout ריי מוילט (6-0, 2 קוס) kept his undefeated pro record intact but it certainly wasn’t easy. Moylette overcame a second-round knockdown, coming back strong in the second half of the fight to take a six-round split decision versus game junior welterweight Donte Bryant (1-3-1, 1 KO).
