Colorado Springs, ភ្លៅ. (ខែកុម្ភៈ 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ អៀរឡង់” and Boston boxing has been synonymous for more than a century, since the Irish first started emigrating to the United States in general, Boston in particular, បន្ទាប់ពី Great Potato Famine.

The tradition started back in the 19លើកទី century with “The Boston Strongboy,” លោកយ៉ូហាន. ឆ្វេង. Sullivan (Roxbury, មាន MA), the first millionaire American athlete, as well as the first “gloves” world heavyweight champion and final “bare knuckles” heavyweight champion of the world. An International Boxing Hall of Famer, Sullivan won 38 នៃ 38 ការប្រយុទ្ធដែលគាំទ្រ, 30 coming by knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, លោក Jake Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 លើក), lived in Somerville and Quincy, both Boston suburbs. Kilrain (1829-1899) also reigned as world heavyweight champion.
Irish boxers from Greater Boston continued this rich tradition through the end of the 19លើកទី and beginning of the 20លើកទី centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 លើក), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 លើក), and Charlestown welterweight លោក Mike “Twin” Sullivan(28-6-16, 17 លើក), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 លើក)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “អៀរឡង់” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 លើក) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimmy Carter, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, ទោះជាយ៉ាងណា, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight លោក Tom McNeeley (37-14, 28 លើក), unsuccessfully fought for the world title in 1961, stopped in the fourth round of his Toronto fight versus defending champion Floyd Patterson បាន, and McNeeley’s son, Boston-native and later Medfield resident លោកពេត្រុស “ព្យុះ” McNeeley (47-7, 30 លើក) famously was stopped in the opening round by “ជាតិដែក” លោក Mike ថាថៃសុន in the latter’s first fight after his release from prison.
In the 1980’s, Irish boxers made their way to Boston to fight; some returned home after their careers, others relocated in the area. នៅ 1984, Ireland-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 លើក), who had moved to the Dorchester section of Boston, lost a 15-round decision in Madison Square Garden to លោក Mike លោក McCallum បន្ត for the World Boxing Association (ខ្សែក្រវាត់ WBA) Super Middleweight World Championship.
លោក Steve “Celtic Warrior” Collins (25-2-1, 18 លើក) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody និង Pat Petronelli, who handled Marvin Hagler ដ៏អស្ចារ្យ throughout is Hall of Fame career. Collins captured the World Boxing Organization (ខ្សែក្រវាត់ WBO) middleweight and super middleweight world titles before moving back to Ireland.
Collins’ ប្អូនប្រុស, Packie Collins, also moved to Brockton to fight. He later worked with Irish heavyweight champion លោក Kevin “The Clones Colossus” McBride (35-10-1, 29 លើក), who went on to knock Tyson out and into retirement. McBride, who still lives in Dorchester, was a stablemate of former Team Ireland head coach and current Team USA head coach, លោក Billy Walsh បាន, at the European Games. Both were also Ireland Olympians, រៀង, នៅ 1988 និង 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, Wayne “Pocket Rocket” McCullough (27-7, 18 លើក), moved to Las Vegas from Northern Ireland. The luck of the Irish wasn’t with him in Boston in 1997, when he lost his World Boxing Council (ស្ថាប័ន WBC) bantamweight title at Hynes Convention Center, by way of a 12-round split decision to ដានីយ៉ែល Zaragoza.
Arguably the most famous and popular Irish-American boxer, outside of Sullivan and លោក Jack Dempsey បានជួយ, is Lowell junior welterweight “អៀរឡង់” Micky វួដ (38-13, 27 លើក), who was involved in three Fight of the Year award winners, two from his epic trilogy with លោក Arturo Gatti, and the first boxer with more than 10 career losses to earn a $1-million purse. Ward’s life was portrayed by another Boston icon, actor Mark Wahlberg, in the award-winning movie, “The Fighter.”
Irish boxers are still coming to Boston to fight. Locally-based Murphys Boxing has promoted numerous shows in Boston featuring world-class boxers such as លោក Gary “Spike” O'Sullivan បាន and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “អំណាច” Doheny (18-0, 13 លើក), as well as undefeated rising stars such as “Sting” Ray Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion Niall Kennedy (10-0, 6 លើក).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.
Headlining Team USA’s roster is 2017 ម្ចាស់មេដាយសំរឹទ្ធជើងឯកពិភពលោក ត្រយ Isley(អាឡិចសាន់, VA). USA Boxing’s team will also include Virginia Fuchs (Kemah, រដ្ឋតិចសាស់), who won four international gold medals in 2017, 2016 យុវជនជើងឯកពិភពលោកនិង 2017 ម្ចាស់មេដាយប្រាក់ទ្វីបជើងឯកវរជន, Delante ចនសុន (ទីក្រុង Cleveland, គូ OH), 2017 USA Boxing Heavyweight National Champion Jared Anderson (ទីក្រុង Toledo, គូ OH) និង 2016 ម្ចាស់មេដាយសំរឹទ្ធជើងឯកពិភពលោកនិងយុវជន 2017 អាមេរិចប្រដាល់ជើងឯកជាតិទម្ងន់ធ្ងន់របស់ក្រុម Super, លោក Richard Torrez (Tulare, ដូចជា). ការបញ្ជីឈ្មោះពេញលេញសម្រាប់ទីក្រុងគ្នានឹងត្រូវបានចេញផ្សាយខិតទៅជិតការចាប់ផ្តើមនៃដំណើរទស្សនកិច្ចនេះ.
