Murphys Boxingis excited to announce that undefeated, Irish heavyweight, Niall Kennedug (12-0-1, 8 KOs) nga dugang pa sa The 4th Annual St. Patrick's Day Clash nga mahitabo Sabado, March 16th sa Boston, Massachusetts sa House of Blues.
One of Murphys Boxing’s most popular fighters, ‘Boom Boom’, is coming off a dominant unanimous decision win this past October when he took the ‘O’ from fellow undefeated heavyweight, Brendan Barrettin a fight broadcast onDAZN.
Kennedy’s 2019 debut will fittingly take place at this year’s St. Patrick's Day Clash, his third time appearing at the annual event, and he knows firsthand the excitement and energy that comes with it.
“I won theMassachusetts State Heavyweight Titleon the Murphys Paddys Day show in 2017 and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed at a boxing event. I’m looking forward to being part of it again.”
Kennedy, despite hailing from Gorey, Ireland where he works full time as a policeman, nga nakig-away 10 sa iyang 13 professional fights in the New England area and actually considers Boston his boxing home.
“I’m blessed with the support that I have received from the people of Boston and Massachusetts in general. I have a large family connection in the state who bring out massive support so when it comes to boxing homes, Boston is my first boxing home.”
As for 2019, Kennedy is dead set on upping the competition and even has his eyes on a fellow unbeaten heavyweight who like himself is creating a buzz in a boxing crazed east coast city.
“My goal is always to improve with each fight. I want to be world ranked and fight the top names in the division but I know if that’s going to happen, 2019 has to be a huge year for me. There’s a lot of fighters I want to share the ring with but right now I think myself vs Philadelphia’sDarmani Rockis a fight that should and will happen.”
Murphys Boxing founder, Ken Caseyagrees that 2019 will be a breakout year for Kennedy and that his addition to the St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes the event to a whole new level.
“Niall is one of our most popular fighters and he has huge fights on the horizon. We want to keep him active this year so he can be at his best for what lies ahead. Having an Irish heavyweight on a St. Patrick’s Day show puts this card over the top as one of the best Murphys Boxing has ever done.”
The Saint Patrick’s Day Clash will truly be an Irish heavy affair as Kennedy joins a card that has fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate, Cork, Ireland ni Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 KOs) in a risky fight againstKhiary Gray (16-4, 12 KOs) as well as the much anticipated all Irish welterweight showdown between Cork, Ireland ni John Joyce (7-0, 4 KOs) and Lucan, Ireland ni Noel Murphy (12-1-1, 2 KOs).
Headlining the annual event will beNABA Junior Middleweight Champion, Massachusetts’Mark DeLuca (22-1, 13 KOs) who will put his title, and hisibabaw 10 world ranking, on the line against Connecticut’sJimmy Williams (16-1-1, 5 KOs).
Sa co-main event, undefeated NABA Light Heavyweight Champion, Connecticut’sCharles Foster (17-0, 8 KOs) will take on once beaten, Chicago power puncher, Mike Jiminez (22-1-2, 14 KOs).

BAHIN SA MURPHYS BOXING
Ang Murphys Boxing gitukod ni Dropkick Murphys’ frontman, Ken Casey sa 2014. Sa lang 5 mubu nga tuig, Ang Murphys Boxing nahimo nga labing bantog nga tigpasiugda sa boksing sa lugar sa New England ug usa sa labing kainit nga batan-ong promosyon sa nasud. 2018 usa ka tuig nga breakout alang sa Murphys Boxing samtang gikuha nila ang ilang una nga fighter sa usa ka titulo sa kalibutan. Kauban sa unang kampyon sa promosyon, daghang mga mandirigma sa Murphys Boxing ang nakakuha sa mga higayon sa titulo sa kalibutan ug sa nasudnon nga mga away sa telebisyon sa 2018. Gisira sa Murphys Boxing ang ilang banner year pinaagi sa co-promosyon sa WBO Middleweight Championship sa away nila Demetrius Andrade ug Walter Kautondokwa sa atubangan sa labaw 10,000 mga fans sa TD Garden, ang legendary nga balay sa Boston Celtics, nga gisibya sa internasyonal nga bahin sa DAZN. Ang karon nga roster ni Murphys Boxing adunay mga contender sa kalibutan nga sama sa Mark DeLuca, Charles Foster, Greg Vendetti, Gary ‘Spike’ O'Sullivan ug mga palaaboton sama ni Niall Kennedy, Carlos Gongora, William Foster III, Abraham Bag-ong, Mike Ohan Jr.. ug mas!
Murphys Boxing Mapasigarbuhon nga gipahibalo ang pagbalik sa junior middleweight contender ug fan favourite, Greg Vendetti (20-3-1, 12 KOs) nga sa pagkuha sa Manny Woods (16-8-1, 6 KOs) sa Biyernes, Marso 29 sa Memorial Hall sa Melrose, Massachusetts diha sa usa ka 10 round bout.
Gibaligya nako, kinsa sa miaging ting-init nakagawas usa ka grabe nga pagkasuko batok sa kaniadto naghagit sa titulo sa kalibutan,Yoshihiro Kamegai sa ESPN2,nakit-an ang iyang kaugalingon sa Top 10 ranggo ug gihatagan higayon nga makigsangka sa France Michel soro alang sa mga WBA Interim Super Welterweight Championship sa Paris kaniadtong miaging Disyembre.
'Ang Kontrabida', nga sa usa ka dili katuohan 16 pakigbatok sa sunodsunod nga kadaugan, miabut ang mubu sa iyang una nga shot sa usa ka titulo apan nagtinguha nga makabalik sa nagdaog nga kolum sa atubangan sa iyang mga tagahanga sa natawhan sa Memorial Hall sa usa ka lisud nga away batok sa nasamokan nga espesyalista, Manny Woods.
“Bisan pa sa pagkawala, 2018 usa ka katingad-an nga tuig alang kanako. Ako nakig-away 5 Mga Panahon ug ako ang adunay labing kadaugan sa akong karera isip usa ka B-side batok sa Kamegai nga nakuha ako sa Top 10. Gitanyagan kami sa Soro nga away alang sa titulo nga kalibutan nga titulo ug bisan kung gibati nako nga ang akong lawas nagkinahanglan og pahulay, dili nimo masulti nga dili ang ingon niana nga higayon. Wala nimo nahibal-an kung kanus-a o kung kini moabut pag-usab.”, gipatin-aw ang Stoneham, Lumad nga Massachusetts.
“Kini usa ka mabangis nga kampo. Gibansay ko pag-ayo. Naguba ang akong lawas. Bahin sa away, kini usa ka ngil-ad nga knockout apan kana ang bahin sa dula. Mapasigarbuhon ako kung giunsa ko kini pagdumala. Wala maulaw. Wala’y kaulaw. Wala ako gi-phase kini. Siyempre dili ako nalipay bahin niini apan ang akong una nga gihunahuna kung unsa ang among buhaton aron mamaayo? Gipakita kanako sa away nga kinahanglan ko nga magmaas. Padayon nga agresibo apan labi ka maalamon ug taktikal bahin niini. Usa ra kini nga panagsangka sa usa ka taas nga giyera.”
Sama sa alang sa pagkuha sa us aka panahon nga beterano sama sa Woods kung dali siya makapangayo alang sa usa ka tono, Gipakita ni Vendetti ang kinaiya nga naghimo kaniya nga usa ka paborito nga fan.
“Gusto ko nga away ug gusto nga mahimong usa ka tinuud nga away sa akong pagbalik. Ang pag-knockout sa usa ka ham ug egger sa una nga hugna dili makalipay alang kanako o sa mga fans. Pag-usik sa usa ka kampo ug pagputol sa gibug-aton nga wala’y labot nga wala ka’y nahibal-an. Ang kahoy usa ka lig-on, legit nga tawo nga moabut aron modaog. Kana ang akong kinahanglan ug gusto.”
Ug pagkahuman moadto 50/50 kontra kontra sa klase sa oposisyon sa miaging tuig, Gusto ba ni Vendetti nga mag-una 10 fighter na usab sa 2019?
“100%. Gusto nako nga mohimo usa ka pahayag batok sa Woods unya padayon nga pagpaayo sa matag away. Dili ko gusto nga mohawa bisan unsang lakang balik sa oposisyon. Ang tanan sa unahan. Basta himsog ra ko, Awayan ko ang bisan kinsa sa dibisyon.”
Sa co-main event, kauban nga Murphys Boxing stablemate ug paboritong fan sa Massachusetts, Ryan Kielczweski (29-4, 11 KOs) kuhaon ang usa ka kaatbang aron mapangalanan sa usa ka 8 hugna nga indigay sa lightweight division.
‘Ang Prinsipe nga Polako’ gikan sa iyang pasundayag nga pagpangawat pabalik-balik nga panagsangka Tommy Coyle sa TD Garden sa Boston kaniadtong miaging Oktubre sa undercard sa Demetrio Andrade WBO world middleweight title fight.
Bisan pa nahulog ang desisyon, Kielczweski, kinsa gikan sa Quincy, Massachusetts, nagpakita talento sa klase sa kalibutan ug daghang kasingkasing sa usa ka all out war nga adunay arena sa panon sa mga tiil.
Gipakita usab sa kard ang mahimong labing bag-o nga pagdugang sa nagtubo nga roster sa Murphys Boxing, Mike Ohan Jr.. (8-0, 5 KOs).
Ang anak nga lalaki sa usa ka inila nga propesyonal nga manlalaban sa lugar sa New England kaniadtong 1990s, Ohan Jr.. misunod sa lakang sa iyang amahan nga moadto 82-10 sa mga amateurs ug pagkuha daghang Bag-ong England Golden Gloves mga titulo.
Nakig-away sa usa ka talagsaon 8 panahon sa 2 tuig ug pagtaas sa lebel sa kompetisyon sa matag outing, lakip ang us aka us aka us aka desisyon bahin sa beterano, Daniel Sostre sa iyang ulahi nga away, Si Ohan naa sa paspas nga track ingon usa ka propesyonal. Ang nakadayeg nga kadaugan nagdala sa batan-ong manlalaban, nga gikan sa Holbrook, Massachusetts, gitanyagan usa ka kontrata sa Murphys Boxing.
“Labi na akong naghinamhinam nga mahimong bahin sa pamilya nga Murphys Boxing.”, ingon ni Ohan, Jr. kinsay makig-away sa usa ka kontra aron mahinganlan sa a 6 round bout sa kard.
“Ang pag-uban sa usa ka aktibo nga kompanya nga pang-promosyon maghatag kanako oportunidad nga molambo ingon usa ka manlalaban ug ipakita ang akong mga kahanas samtang nagpaingon ako sa akong pangandoy sa us aka adlaw nga mahimong usa ka kampyon sa kalibutan.”
Dugang sa tulo ka mga headlining nga lokal nga paborito, ipakita ang kard a 4 round super gaan nga away sa mga babaye taliwala Jillian DiAuto (1-1, 1 KO) ug Sarah Click (0-1-1), ingon man usab ang pagsugod sa silangang baybayon sa Venezuelan nga labing gaan nga gibati, Luis Arcon (5-0, 5 KOs) kinsa ang magkuha sa usa ka kaatbang aron mapangalanan sa a 6 round bout.
3 daghang mga undercard bout ang ipahibalo sa dali nga panahon aron magsugod ang gabii sa hinigugma nga venue sa throwback nga nahimo’g usa ka punoan sa Murphys Boxing.
“Ang Memorial Hall mao ang akong pinalabi nga venue sa away.”, ingon ni Ken Casey, nagtukod sa Murphys Boxing.
“Makakurat kini sa didto kung mag-away si Greg ug sa lingkoranan sa panaksan, kini ingon usa ka mini coliseum.”
Gibaligya nako, kinsa magpakita sa iyang ika-7 nga panagway sa kanunay gibaligya nga venue, dili makasabut labi pa sa iyang tigpasiugda.
“Grabe kini. Gibati gyud nako nga ingon ang usa ka gladiator nga nakig-away sa usa ka coliseum kung naa ako sa Memorial Hall ug alang sa usa ka gladiator duha ra ang kapilian… kadaugan o kamatayon.”

MARK DELUCA TO DEFEND NABA TITLE GARY ‘SPIKE’ O’SULLIVAN TO MAKE BOSTON RETURN CHARLES FOSTER TO DEFEND NABA TITLE JOHN JOYCE & NOEL MURPHY TO BATTLE IN ALL IRISH SHOWDOWN
SABADO, MARCH 16TH AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN BOSTON
Murphys Boxingis proud to announce their 4th AnnualSt. Patrick's Day Clash will take place on Sabado, March 16thsa makausa pag-usabsa House of Blues sa Boston.
Headlining the stacked card will be Whitman, Massachusetts’ Mark DeLuca (22-1, 13 KOs). The currentNABA Super Welterweight Champion, is ranked#10 sa kalibutan pinaagi sa WBA and will defend his title against Connecticut’sJimmy Williams (16-1-1, 5 KOs) in an all New England 10 round battle.
DeLuca is coming off the highest profile win of his career this past October when he fought on the undercard ofDemetrius Andrade niworld title fight atTD Gardenwhich was shown worldwide onDAZN. DeLuca won a unanimous decision in what was an immediate rematch of the only blemish on his record, a split decision loss toWalter Wright, considered by most in attendance to be a robbery. Now DeLuca finds himself, not only one of the most popular fighters in New England, but also in contention for a world title shot later this year.
“Being in the Top 10 karon, I know that I’m only a phone call away from a life changing opportunity.”, explains the former Marine turned title contender.
“I’m always in the gym. I’m staying focused. I know I need a good performance against Williams to keep that opportunity alive.”
Having already headlined a Murphys Boxing event on St. Patrick Adlaw sa, DeLuca is well aware that it isn’t the average boxing card.
“St. Patrick Adlaw sa. Boston. Dropkick Murphys. What more can you say? The atmosphere is electric.”
Sa co-main event, one of boxing’s favorite characters, Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 KOs) will make his return to Boston, where he has amassed a huge following, to take on Worcester, Massachusetts’ Khiary Gray (16-4, 12 KOs) in what promises to be an action packed 8 round battle.
The Cork, Ireland native who is promoted by Murphys Boxing in association withGolden Boy Promotionshas moved down to the junior middleweight division where he is looking to make a splash in 2019 after finishing last year with a unanimous decision victory in his home country against the 40 fight veteran, Gabor Gorbics.
“Boston is a home away from home for me.”, says the outspoken, handlebar mustached slugger who has fought in the New England area 10 mga panahon.
“Murphys Boxing Saint Patrick’s Day events are not to be missed. The crowd is insane and I’m coming to give them what they wanna see… a fight!”
The night will also feature a who’s who ofNew England’shottest young contenders and prospects.
Murphys Boxing’s Charles Foster (17-0, 8 KOs) will put hisNABA Light Heavyweight Championshiptitle on the line in a 10 round bout against Chicago’sMike Jimenez (22-1-2, 14 KOs).
The New Haven, Connecticut based Foster is a world ranked contender (#10 sa WBA) and is fresh off a national television appearance last year when he beat the previously undefeated, Alvin Varmall, Jr. sa Showtime. He will face one of his toughest challenges yet against the dangerous, power punching, Jimenez whose only loss came to two-time world title challenger, Jesse Hart.
Revere, Massachusetts’ favorite son, Travis Mazac Gambardella (5-0-2, 2 KOs), who trains out of the popular, KnuckleHeadz Gymin Ventura, California, will return home to try and extend his undefeated record against fellow Boston area fighter, Maceo Crowder (2-2, 1 KO) diha sa usa ka 6 round middleweight contest.
South Boston’sJoe Farina(4-1, 3 KOs), who last fought against Gambardella, dropping a razor close majority decision on the undercard of Demetrius Andrade’s middleweight title fight at TD Garden, will look to get back in the winning column in a four round welterweight rematch against New Jersey’sSteve Moore (1-6, 1 KO) who lost a split decision to Farina last year.
In keeping with the holiday’s theme, there will be an all Irish grudge match when Lucan, Ireland ni John Joyce(7-0, 4 KOs) travels to America to take on Cork, Ireland ni Noel Murphy(12-1-1, 2 KOs), who is now based in New York City, in an 8 round welterweight clash that has Irish pride on the line.
The night will be kicked off by the highly anticipated professional debut of Mansfield, Massachusetts welterweight, Santiago Perella. The decorated amateur fighter will turn proagainst Woburn, Massachusetts’ Bruno Dias (0-5) diha sa usa ka 4 round contest.
“Ang St. Patrick’s Day Clash is my favorite promotion of the year and one that our fighters and fans really look forward to.”, nagpatin-aw, Murphys Boxing founder and Dropkick Murphys frontman, Ken Casey.
“The atmosphere that’s created when you put boxing on in a general admission, standing room only concert venue, let alone on St. Patrick’s Day in Boston, creates a unique and intense experience.”
As for the incredibly busy and successful year the promotional company is coming off of, Casey, who will also play 4 consecutive shows with Dropkick Murphys the same week at the same venue, is even more excited about what the new year holds.
“2018 was a breakout year for Murphys Boxing but with contenders like Mark DeLuca and Charles Foster in the position for world title shots later this year and a slew of undefeated prospects on the verge of world rankings, not to mention multiple cards already planned, 2019 will take Murphys Boxing to a whole new level.”

Boxing fans packed the Manchester Downtown Hotel Wednesday night to take in a spectacular night of elite amateur boxing. This was the final stop on a three-city tour of Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts and Manchester, New Hampshire. The scheduled fights featured Team USA amateurs facing the best amateur boxers from Ireland. By the final bell, Ireland managed to finish the eight bouts of the evening with a tie score, their best outcome of the tour. Team USA won the first two duals of the tour in Boston and Springfield, sa tinagsa, pinaagi sa daghang 8-4 ug 7-3.
Wednesday’s fights were not all about winning, Apan. For the majority of the boxers involved it was a great opportunity to fine-tune their techniques and get some much-needed international competition experience. Some of Wednesday night’s best performers will also likely be representing their respective countries in the upcoming 2020 Olympics.
The main event of the night featured 2016 Youth World Championships Bronze Medalist Richard Torrez dominating 3-time Irish National Champion Dean Gardiner. The Irish fighter’s towering height and long reach simply could not overcome the fast pace and excellent defensive posture of the shorter American.
Torrez spent the first round executing masterful feinting and punch slipping while scoring with some bombing hooks. Torrez changed levels, used slick head movement, and never let his foot off the gas as Gardiner plodded forward with an unbalanced and wild approach in the early going. A thudding body shot connected for the Irishman in the first, but not much else.
Torrez kept up the quick work rate in the next frame, unleashing left and right hooks and landing cleanly through much of the round. He scored to the body and head easily, though much of the round saw his opponent covering up and waiting for openings. One straight left from Torrez sent his opponent reeling for a moment, but the taller man recovered and did land a phenomenal left hook to the head of Torrez as he was fighting off the ropes. Gardiner tried landing mostly straight punches on the outside and seemed unable to turn over his punches in close.
The third round saw both fighters slugging it out until the final bell with one of the wildest back and forth exchanges of the night, but it was too little and too late for Gardiner. He just could not get his range dialed in. Torrez just outworked his opponent again and landed a few slick uppercuts to go with his thundering right and left hooks. He used the jab sparingly but effectively, spending much of the final frame targeting Gardiner’s body. Torrez earned the Unanimous Decision win with his performance and didn’t take more than a handful of hard shots in the process.
Kelly Harrington, a World Championship Silver Medalist from Ireland, likely had her team’s most masterful performance in cruising to a unanimous decision victory over Stacia Suttles in the opening bout of the night. Suttles struggled to keep herself at the ideal punching range against the unrelenting attack of Harrington in the first round, spending much of the three minutes bobbing and weaving to try to avoid the crisp combinations of her opponent. Suttles did land her jab fairly consistently, and she did begin to put some combos together late in the round, but Harrington is an absolute expert when it comes to head movement. She looked as if Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was one of her coaches as she utilized a hands-low technique with constant feints, punch slipping and level changing. The first round saw her landing a beautiful straight left to the head and a fantastic body and head punching combination that landed solidly. She unleashed some fierce hooks, although a few were wild haymakers. Below is a picture of Harrington during one of just a few brief moments in the fight where she brought both hands up to protect her face.
Suttles caught Harrington with some glancing and flush shots in the second round, but she seemed to be having trouble getting power behind her punches. She did trade some decent right hands with her opponent, but it was clear by the end of the round that she just wasn’t going to be able to find any rhythm in the fight due to the craftiness of her opponent. Harrington spent the same round perfecting her range with crisp 1-2 combos and wild lead rights connecting. Harrington also scored some powerful left hooks with a picture perfect straight right landing just a few moments later.
The third round was more of the same for both fighters. Suttles worked much of the frame to track her opponent down, but every time she unloaded, she paid for it. One particularly solid left hook landed late in the round, but it just wasn’t enough. Harrington spent much of the last three minutes trying to connect with winging right hands. She landed one of her hardest punches of the fight late in the round and momentarily stunned her opponent before the bell to end the fight. Harrington took away a unanimous decision and looks to be one of the most promising boxers at her weight in the running for the 2020 Olympics.
Yet another example of height somehow being a disadvantage played a role in the other female fight on the card. Team USA’s Leah Cooper (#2 US Female Middleweight) used ducking and feinting to avoid the taller Aoife Burke’s long reach. Cooper fought from a semi-crouch, making it hard for Burke to land with any significant power on the majority of her punches. The 8-time National Irish Champion
had a few spots in the fight where she regained control of the action, but Cooper made the right adjustments to minimize the threats.
Cooper executed a swarming attack to begin the first round, firing off 1-2 combos and backing Burke up. She remained patient and persistent throughout the frame, staying low and out of range of Burke’s power shots. Burke exhibited excellent defense, but she could only manage to throw and land one punch at a time. She showcased a crisp jab throughout the round, but it just didn’t deter Cooper. Burke had her best moments of the round toward the final bell, mixing up shots to the body and head, including a hard right hook to the head.
Burke came out for the second round on fire, storming Cooper with rapid fire 1-2 combos and hooks. She also mixed in a slick uppercut that found Cooper’s chin. Cooper weathered the storm, only falling into the trap briefly. She regained her composure, landed some excellent counter punches, and turned what might have been Burke’s best round into the Irish champ’s worst. Cooper remained calm and cool, despite taking some of the hardest shots her opponent landed in the fight. She landed some superb 1-2 combos after Burke’s attack fizzled, eventually opening a cut near Burke’s left eye and bloodying her nose. Cooper’s hard body punching also sent Burke crouching down to the canvas briefly after a solid right hook.
Burke started the third round a bit late after getting checked out and cleared by the ringside doctor. She again started out with a flurry of bombing punches. She targeted the body and the head, but Cooper collected herself once again and went back to work. She changed levels well and began connecting with furious hooks, first to the body and then back up to the head. She also kept up an active jab and landed multiple 1-2 combos. Burke did manage another late flurry in the closing moments of the fight, but Cooper still came away with the unanimous decision win.
Team USA Lightweight James Browning came into Wednesday night’s bout with Ireland’s Francis Cleary as a two-time USA Boxing Champion. Cleary, a nine-time Irish National Champion, represented Browning’s first crack at international competition. Ang duha ka mga manggugubat adunay ilang mga higayon, but it would be Browning getting the win at the end of three entertaining, back-and-forth rounds of action.
Browning spent the first round establishing a higher work rate than his opponent and using lots of movement to avoid Cleary’s attack. He also landed a consistent jab, mixing up his body and head shots well. Though he won the round, Browning took plenty of risks and paid the price. Cleary picked his spots and unleashed the more clean and powerful punches when he was able to land. He just couldn’t connect enough, and he clinched out of trouble almost every time he wound up fighting in close quarters.
Clearly landed some more sharp bombs in the second frame, getting more aggressive and starting to track down his constantly moving opponent. A thumping left hook near the end of the round connected with Browning’s head and impressed the packed house of fans. Bisan pa, Browning remained busy and did well in the slugging exchanges between the two fighters. He was often wild, but the work output kept Cleary from stealing the round.
Cleary came out for the third round with renewed ferocity, engaging in a wild brawl with Browning. It was the best round of the fight for Cleary, and Browning could not maintain the elusiveness he displayed in the prior rounds. The Irish fighter landed another booming left hook in the round, featured perfectly-timed counters, and kept punching right up to the bell. Browning definitely appeared to be frustrated and tired by the end of the fight. Bisan pa, two out of the three judges were sure he deserved the win, earning a split decision victory.
The next bout pitted eight-time Irish National Champion Wayne Kelley against 13-time US National Champion Adrian Benton in a close welterweight battle. Both young fighters had bright spots in the match, but Kelley managed to squeak out the split decision victory with a crafty, gutsy effort.
Benton had the better first round thanks to a swarming attack. He worked in and out of range with 1-2 combos and sparing hooks. He used all his angles well, pivoting out of trouble and into effective range with ease. Kelley struggled to land counters until the final moments of the round when he landed his own flurry of 1-2 combos.
Kelley started the second round with much more energy and poise. He landed early and often, winging left hands and opening up a cut on Benton’s lip. Benton slipped some of the more dangerous punches, blocked shots well and landed some crisp, hard shots of his own. His best exchange was a left and right hook to the head that landed near the middle of the round.
Kelley slowed down a bit in the final round, unable to find his ideal range. He landed some hard right hands, a well-placed body shot and unloaded with a late flurry. Benton kept busy early in the round and artfully ducked under a bombing right hook from Kelley. The judges seemed more impressed with Kelley’s composure in the final two rounds as Benton kept getting drawn in to sloppy brawling. Kelley edged out the win by a 2-1 margin.
The light welterweights came next, producing another tight contest. Ireland’s Caoimhin Ferguson fought Team USA’s Charlie Sheehy with a slightly better tactical approach, earning another split decision victory for his squad.
Sheehy took on a more cautious and patient approach in the first round, waiting for the perfect moment to throw and land. His best punches of the round included a hard right hand to the body and a starching jab. Ferguson put in more work in the frame, scoring on multiple hooks to the head and unleashing wild and crazy flurries a few times. One particular left hook crashed hard into Sheehy’s head in the final moments of the round.
Ferguson landed some decent shots in the second round, but Sheehy was much more composed. He worked around the wild-swinging, hard-charging assault by keeping his distance and scoring from outside with some crisp rights to the chin. The fighters exchanged some hooks to the body and wound up in a clinch before the end of the round.
Sheehy struggled to string punches together in the final round. Though he had a nice straight right hand working for him, Ferguson was able to penetrate his defense. Ferguson landed a thumping left hook early and went on to land a few more bombs before losing his mouthpiece in one exchange. Likely knowing he needed to finish strong to get the judges on his side, Ferguson rushed in with a final torrent of hooks in the final seconds. He earned a 2-1 decision win for his tenacity.
Welterweights Kieron Molloy (Ireland) and Freudis Rojas, Jr. (USA) squared off in another bout. Both fighters are previous World Championship Bronze Medalists with Molloy also claiming nine Irish National titles and Rojas winning the US nationals 10 times so far. It was another close shave win for Team Ireland.
Rojas was clearly the more active fighter in the first round. He used a consistent jab and increased his work rate through the frame. He ket busy on offense right up until the bell. Molloy began the round winging shots and trying to figure out his range. He unleashed a bit late in some of the more fierce exchanges, couldn’t figure out how to get his combinations going, and had a tough time catching up with the faster Rojas. Molloy did land some excellent straight lefts, bisan.
The next round went much better for the Irish southpaw. He started with an uptick in his punch output, though he still struggled to land combos. At one point in the round, Molloy connected with a huge straight left, followed up by a nice power jab, slowing down his opponent. Rojas kept coming forward but couldn’t capitalize on scoring opportunities in the round. A late flurry of punches from Rojas wasn’t enough for him to steal the round.
Rojas landed some excellent shots in the final round, going downstairs to the body frequently. He also caught Molloy against the ropes, blasting him with straight punches. Molloy fought the smarter round, bisan, picking the best times to throw and often catching Rojas with his hands down. His best exchange of the round featured a huge 1-2 connecting to the head and a wild left hook to the head. A final swarm of punches from the Irish fighter closed the show and earned him a 2-1 split decision win.
Team USA’s Nikita Ababiy scored a hard-fought win in a wild affair before the main event with Team Ireland’s Gerard French. The first round saw Ababiy jabbing well. The American came into the fight with a very non-traditional boxing stance with one hand low, but his posture seemed to be effective in luring his opponent into punching range. Ababiy landed some booming hooks and a nice left uppercut that backed up French. Samtang sa laing bahin, French concentrated on trying to land counters. He had a lower work rate but also didn’t take too much punishment.
French spent the second round trying to exchange in close quarters. He landed more shots later in the round, including some heated right hooks in the final moments. Ababiy connected with some thumping shots in the round and showcased some nice defense as well. He mixed up his shots to the body and head, throwing and covering up to wait for the next opening. Ababiy landed a nice left hook to the head followed up with a picture perfect right uppercut in the final minute. He ended the round well on his way to his first win.
The final round saw Ababiy slow down a bit, but he was still effective enough to carry the frame. French managed some crisp left hooks to the head, but he couldn’t figure out the different style his opponent brought to the ring. The American cruised to the unanimous decision win.
The night also began with the only stoppage on the card thanks to a wild brawl between local 132-pound Manchester, NH novices Michael Correa and Abhisek Thapa. Correa took off across the ring upon hearing the opening bell and unleashed one wild flurry after another. Thapa didn’t let the tornado swallow him up, bisan. He ust covered up and waited for his opportunities. It only took a couple minutes for Correa to start tiring out from the relentless attack. Thapa then waded in to land some of the most impressive shots of the night, forcing the referee to stop the fight for three standing eight counts before the end finally came with a whirlwind of power punches from Thapa.
There was also a guest appearance made by the boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. still calls his toughest opponent ever, Emanuel Augustus (3-34-6, 20 KOs). Augustus participated in a reunion the previous night with “Ireland” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 KOs), celebrating one of the best fights in the history of the sport, which took place on July 13, 2001. Augustus stuck around for the fights and even came into the ring to showcase that he still has the same punching prowess that made him one of the most entertaining fighters of his era.
“We learned from this tour that we’re right up there with the best teams in the world,” Team USA head coach Billy Walsh said. “Team Ireland is a very good, young team. We’re going to have a good team to send to Tokyo (2020 Olympics). I’m proud of my team. They all worked very hard. We didn’t have some of our best boxers because some were competing in an International tournament We do have a good crop of 18-19-20 year-olds who will make up our 2020 Olympic team.”
Team Ireland also brought their own production crew to film all the action for those who couldn’t be there:

Emanuel Augustus joins special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger to complete memorable fight
Marso 21 sa Manchester, NH
Colorado Springs, Lap. (Marso 19, 2018) – Retired pro boxerEmanuel Augustushas confirmed his attendance this week at a USA Boxing-hosted reunion of the 2001 Fight sa Tuig, associated with the final stop on the 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour festivities in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Ang 2001 Fight of the Year was held July 13, 2001, at Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton, NH., and it is still considered one of the greatest matches ever broadcast on ESPN. “Ireland” Micky Wardwon an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up with “boxing cult” heroEmanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judges’ scoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
“Ward versus Augustus was truly the event of the year in boxing and we’re so happy it was held right here in New Hampshire,” said Stephen, who has been in his position as chairman since 1974, “Micky was losing the fight until the later rounds. As the chairperson of he commission, I checked the judges’ scorecards after six or seven rounds and Micky was losing. Unya, Micky caught Augustus, dropped and really hurt him. He went on to win a great fight.”
The high-profile win positioned Ward for what turned out to be his epic Gatti trilogy, while Augustus went on to become one of the most dangerous, upset-minded opponents in boxing. Ward, Augustus and the third man in the ring that night, Hall of Fame refereeSteve Smoger, will host as USA Alumni Association event Tuesday, Dagat. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. sa Manchester), sugod sa 6 sa gabii. UG.
The trio will also be joined by two others closely associated with the 2001 Fight sa Tuig, Chairman of the New Hampshire Boxing and Wrestling Commission, Bobby Stephen, as well as International matchmaker, Eric Bottjer, who made the Ward-Augustus fight in 2001.
All five will also attend the USA Boxing Alumni Association event as well as the following night’s (Dagat. 21) USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire.
SPECIAL MANCHESTER AMATEUR BOXING MATCH ADDED
A special lightweight novice WILL open the competition, showcasing two Manchester amateur boxers, Abhisek Thapa (Title Boxing Club) ug Michael Correa (Manchester PAL).
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at7 sa gabii. EST, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.
Ang mga tiket nagkantidad og $20.00 alang sa general admission, $30 for reserved ringside seats, and available to purchase on Seacoast Ticket Agency’s website, www.seacoastticket.com, the official ticket distributor for the event.
“We’re so happy to have the USA-Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour here in Manchester,” Stephen added. “The talent on both squads is extraordinary. We’re honored to have these two teams here for this big event. It’s a credit to USA Boxing and (special events director) Al Valenti, who has done so much over the years for boxing in New Hampshire. Boxing was very popular here many years ago. People turned out in droves to attend the Golden Gloves. There’s a boxing resurgence and that’s so important to teach young people discipline, respect and conditioning that’s so needed today. These amateurs do their best for the love of boxing; they aren’t in it for money like professionals.
“Micky is honorable, a real nice person. It means a lot for local fans and boxers to meet him. We were fortunate to have him fight in New Hampshire on serval occasions and nobody who watched his fight Augustus or his trilogy withArturo Gattiwill never forget.”.
