Castro-Jackson I. (Nollaig. 10, 1994, Castro KO 9) –Castro, buailte go maith, fuilithe agus ag cailleadh le corrlach leathan, slógaí ó bhruach iomlán an bhua chun trí chúilín a scóráil sa naoú babhta chun Jackson a shárú i gceann de na slánúcháin is drámatúla riamh.
Ayala-Tapia I. (Meitheamh 26, 1999, Ayala W. 12) - I gcuid den ghníomh dhá bhealach is géire i stair na dornálaíochta Las Vegas, Southpaw Ayala lámha Tapia a chéad chaillteanas gairmiúil i 49 déanann an teideal meáchan bantamweight WBA a throid agus a ghabháil de réir scóir na 115-114 agus 116-113 faoi dhó. Cluiche Ar: De réir mar a bhí na dornálaithe á bhfógairt, Shiúil Tapia trasna an fháinne agus shoved Ayala is cúis le skirmish nóiméad.
Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo I. (Bealtaine 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10) — Tar éis naoi dian, babhtaí anonn is anall, Éiríonn Corrales leis an rud dochreidte, ag athghrúpáil go míorúilteach ó dhá knockdowns sa 10ú chun Castillo a stopadh sa bhabhta céanna (2:06) agus eitseáil a láthair i seanchas na dornálaíochta. Tar éis a bhainistiú chun an comhaireamh a bhualadh (agus pointe a chailleadh le haghaidh spit iomarcach as an mbéal), Fuair Corrales Castillo ar na rópaí agus cheangail sé le lámh dheas ollmhór. Lean sé ag díluchtú agus fuair Castillo nailed le dornán puntaí fí. Chuimhneacháin ina dhiaidh sin, chuir an tag stop leis.
Lucas Matthysse-John Molina Jr.. (Aibreán 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11) — Slugfest abloody, inar leagadh an dá trodaire síos arís agus arís eile,tháinig clasaiceach láithreach. Matthysse a chuaigh síos sa dara agus sa chúigiú babhta, Tháinig mé ar ais le hionsaí déanach-troid chun Molina a chaitheamh síos agus a ligean san ochtú, 10ú agus 11ú babhtaí. Bhí an brawl iontach chomh brúidiúil agus a bhí sé corraitheach agus níos láidre a fheiceáil ná mar a shamhlódh éinne.

Eric Hunter in London, Ready to Take Selby’s IBF Featherweight Title This Saturday
Upcoming world title challenger Eric “An Outlaw’ Hunter is in London and feeling more motivated now than ever to take the title away from Welsh champion Lee Selby.
A proud Philadelphia fighter, Hunter (21-3, 11 Kos) will face Selby (22-1, 8 Kos) in a 12-round battle this Dé Sathairn, Aibreán 9, for Selby’s IBF World Featherweight Championship at The O2 in London. The bout will serve as the featured fight before undefeated IBF Heavyweight World Champion Charles Martin defends his belt against fellow unbeaten Anthony Joshua. Extensive highlights of Hunter vs. Selby will be shown on SHOWTIME BOXING INTERNATIONAL®, prior to live coverage of Martin-Joshua (BEO ar Showtime® ag 5 p.m. AGUS/2 p.m. PT).
“I wasn’t invited to the open workout yesterday,” dúirt Hunter. “They had an open workout for Selby and didn’t have one for me. I’m kind of irritated about that. It’s not even fair to the fans, Tá a fhios agat? I’m sure that a lot of fans wanted to see who their man is fighting. I have no choice but to use it as fuel for even more motivation.”
The 29-year-old Hunter, in Europe for the first time, says he doesn’t mind travelling to win this championship. Go deimhin, despite being an underdog via the odds makers, Hunter says his victory won’t be an upset. “I won’t call it an upset when I win. I’m the better fighter. And it doesn’t bother me to come here. All the great ones had to do it. Ba mhaith liom a bheith iontach, so I have to do this. As long as they don’t cheat me with the judges, I’m ok.”
Hunter says his victory will be the culmination of his lifelong dream. “It would mean everything. It would right my wrongs. All those who doubted me. All my failures and letdowns on the way here. It will turn all my negatives into positives.”

“The Dragon” to be unleashed April 16th Live on CBS Sports Network from DLVEC in Las Vegas
|
LAS VEGAS (Aibreán 5, 2016) – Aibreán 16ú10-round main event between Canadian welterweight Steve “The Dragon” Claggett and South Africa-native Chris “An Teas” Van Heerden embodies the “Knockout Night at the D” philosophy in terms of featuring action fighters in evenly matched, entertaining bouts.
An “Knockout Night at the D” sraith, presented by an D Las Vegas agusDowntown Las Vegas Imeachtaí Center(DLVEC), a chur chun cinn ag Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Arduithe Céime Dornálaíochta.
An Aibreán. 16ú “Knockout Night at the D” event will air Dé Sathairn oíche, Aibreán 16 (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. AGUS), beo ar Líonra Spóirt Scoil na mBráithre Críostaí from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.
The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock agus iar curadh domhanda Kevin “The Flushing Flash” Kelley. Joe Martinez is the ring announcer.
Claggett vs. Van Heerden is a crossroads fight for both boxers with critical consequences, especially for the winner who will use it as an invaluable springboard for his boxing career.
The 26-year-old Claggett (23-3-1, 16 Kos), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “Tá sé seo bhrionglóid fíor,” he explained. “I’ve trained in Las Vegas often but now it’s time to show what I can do there in a fight. A win will open many doors for me and could potentially lead to a path that will set up the rest of my boxing life. Needless to say, I am focused and prepared for the opportunity.”
VIDEO PROMO LINK:
Claggett, as well as Van Heerden, are known as high-action fighters, throwing punches in bunches, and something eventually has to give. Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 Kos), fighting out of Santa Monica (SIN MAR), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) agus Cónaidhm Dornálaíochta Idirnáisiúnta (IBF) welterweight curadh.
“Van Heerden is a rangy, quick and active fighter,” Claggett said. “I have an action style but, for many years, I was strictly a pressure fighter with a good body shot. Lá atá inniu ann, cé, I have a couple of more tricks up my sleeve. His heart and durability have been shown and is to be respected. This match-up is sure to produce some good exchanges. I expect this to be a high-action fight between two hungry fighters with him coming off a loss (to unbeaten rising star Errol Spence Jr. Is speisialtóir Muay Téalainnis é a ghlac a chrios teidil meáchain welter M-1 Challenge Aibreán seo caite ag) and me coming off more than one fight falling through. This is a great match up. He is similar to the style of (Konstantin)Ponomarev (who Claggett lost an 8-round decision to last year) with range and movement. And that motivates me!”
Undefeated Lancaster, California welterweight Neeco “Rooster” Macias (11-0, 4 Kos) Buaileann Limberth “Lightning” Ponce, Jr. (10-2, 8 Kos), of Rock Island, Illinois, in the 8-round co-feature. Unbeaten Baltimore welterweight prospect Malik “Iceman” Hawkins(6-0, 5 Kos) aghaidheanna Errol Sidney (6-1-2, 2 Kos), de New Orleans, in a 6-round bout to open the television broadcast.
The undercard also features promising Las Vegas-based prospects in four-round bouts: welterweight Jeremy “J Flash” Nichols (2-0, 2 Kos), featherweight Sal Lopez (2-0) and junior featherweight Randy Moreno (1-0, 1 KO).

NUA-EABHRAC (Aibreán 5, 2016) – Níos mó ná 300 people packed Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, NY this past Dé Domhnaigh for the fifth annual New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) dinnéar ionduchtaithe.
Beidh gach inductee fháil crios saincheaptha-ceapadh signifying a ionduchtú isteach sa NYSBHOF. Plaques are on display at the New York State Athletic Commission.

Gach dhornálaithe is gá chun bheith neamhghníomhach ar feadh ar a laghad trí bliana d'fhonn a bheith incháilithe do NYSBHOF ionduchtaithe, agus ní mór do gach ionduchtaí ag cur fúthu i Nua-Eabhrac Stát ar feadh cuid shuntasach de a ngairmeacha beatha dornálaíochta nó le linn mbarr a gairme faoi seach.
(L-R) – NYSBHOF/Ring 8 uachtarán Bob Duffy, Don Majeski, Ed Brophy and Jill Diamond (WBC)
Ed Brophy: “I’d like to thank the committee of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and Ring 8, a wonderful group that sponsors the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. I’m so proud to have been born in New York, in the small town of Canastota, where boxing is in our blood. I’m thrilled to be honored today. My name is attached to the International Boxing Hall of Fame as director, but so many different people help out. I only accept this honor on their behalf. Boxing is the greatest sport. Congratulations to all of the inductees. This is the greatest day of my life.”
(L-R) – ron McNair, Aaron Davis and Bob Duffy
Aaron Davis: Go raibh maith agat, Ring 8. Boxing is a hard sport. It was much harder in the gym. I saw Gerry Cooney, Iran Barkley agus Roberto Duran and wanted to do what those guys did and it made me a fighter I was. I’d like to thank my father and Billy Giles, who was my trainer. I’d also like to thank Joe DeGuardia, who managed me later in my career, and thanks to everybody who supported me.”
(L-R) — Bob Duffy, Dennis Rappaport and family
Dennis Rappaport: “It seems like yesterday when a six or seven year old living in Brooklyn watched a fight between Jake LaMotta agus Jim Hairston. This young man was mesmerized. The next month he watchedSiúcra Ray Robinson knockout Rocky Graziano and that was the start of a love affair that’s lasted 63 bliana. Dornálaíocht, at its best, is poetry in motion. It’s Shapespeare, Picasso, Rembrandt. But it can also be crude. I started in boxing managing three fighters: Ronnie Harris, Gerry Cooney agus Howard Davis. Jr. Because of the creative marketing of our fighters, one reporter called me and my partner, Mike Jones, ‘The Gold Dust Twins’ but then the media starting calling us, ‘The Wacko Twins.’ I preferred ‘The Gold Dust Twins.”
(L-R – Jack Hirsch, Joe DeGuardia and Bob Duffy
Seosamh DeGuardia: It’s a real pleasure, honor and privilege to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. Like many of you here, I live and bleed boxing, which has been a big part of my life. Four months ago, I received the (Ring 8 at its Holiday awards dinner) Promoter of the Year award. I said then that we are truly a family of boxing; it’s a real brotherhood. I also talked about how boxing tied into lire. In that room – not with us now – was my father who passed away three weeks ago. Because of him, I developed this love of boxing that I’ve carried in life: work hard to do the best you can in life. I’m truly honored to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. In honor of my father and everybody else who loves this sport. I accept on behalf of my father who, Tá a fhios agam, is watching us now.”
(L-R) – Charles Murray and Bob Duffy
Charles Murray: “They called me, ‘The Natural.’ I appreciate this, being honored for my contributions to boxing. Thank you very much.”
(L-R) – Steve Farhood, Vilomar Fernandez and Bob Duffy
Vilomar Fernandez: “It wasn’t easy fighting guys like Roberto Duran and Alexis Arguello. They were the best in the world. I’m thankful for the opportunities to fight them, I’m honored today.”
(L-R) – Henry Hascup, Randy Gordon, Melvina Lathan, Bob Duffy and Gerry Cooney
Randy Gordon: “Go raibh maith agat, gach duine. This amazing event we have every year, I never expected this would happen. My career was born out of the aches of one of boxing’s biggest scandals, the US Championships on ABC, chun cinn ag Don King, and Ring Magazine produced the ratings for the tournament. It turned out the ratings and some of the records were padded and it just about knocked Ring Magazine out of business. Bert Randolph Siúcra hired me to be its Editor In Chief. Ag obair le chéile, we brought Ring Magazine back from the dead. I burst into tears when Jack Hirsch called to tell me I was being inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. This is an absolute dream. Anybody who has ever or will ever be inducted into any hall of fame, nobody can possibly enjoy this more than me. I love boxing with every ounce of my body. My wife and family drive me back into boxing. This is the greatest honor. I can’t get enough of boxing. I’m truly the luckiest man ever placed on this planet.”
(L-R) – Ed Brophy, Don Majeski, Jack Hirsch and Joe DeGuardia

An comhrac in Tuairisc: Churcher KOs Horvath To Secure WBF title as Herbert Shines In Wales
Lee Churcher pulled out a sensational against the odds victory over Hungarian Balazs Horvath ar an Satharn night to secure the World Boxing Foundation Intercontinental Middleweight title, at the Pill Millennium Centre in his hometown of Newport.
Churcher, who was World ranked some two hundred plus places lower than Horvath, dominated the bout right from the off. Working behind a good solid jab, the Newport lad enthralled the local fans with some slick combinations, to both body and head, so much so that the more experienced Hungarian soon had to result to holding tactics whenever Churcher was in close range.
The canny Welshman was having none of it though and just patiently waited for any opportunity that came his way to punish Horvath with vicious body shots.
By midway through the first round Churcher’s confidence really began to grow, after badly shaking Horvath with the aforementioned body shots, so it came as no surprise to anyone when shortly after Churcher sent Horvath to the deck.
Horvath recovered but once again resorted to holding tactics to frustrate Churcher through to the end of the round.
More of the same in round two more or less, except Churcher really started to get into a flow, catching Horvath with more vicious body shots, the Hungarian tried to cover up, before again trying to grab hold of the Welshman, Churcher is canny though and worked behind the jab again before letting rip with yet another huge right hand to send Horvath down for the second time.
The Hungarian made the count and immediately on the restart Churcher went back on the attack, but the Hungarian tried to stifle the Welshman’s attacks by attempting to grab hold again, Churcher though used this to his advantage and let rip with a huge body shot to send the Hungarian back down to the canvas.
Clearly in distress, Horvath made an initial attempt to get back to his feet before settling to be just up on one knee, the pain showing on the Hungarian’s face clear for all to see as he attempted to unsuccessfully beat the count.
Whilst it may not have been a classic, nothing, but nothing can take away from Lee Churcher the artistry of his craft and tactics throughout and of course claiming the third Championship accolade of his career, the World Boxing Foundation Intercontinental Middleweight Championship, to add to his British Masters and BBBofC Welsh Area Title.
Main support for the Churcher-Horvath Championship bout, featured a four round Super Welterweight bout between Nottingham duo Carwyn Herbert and Matt Scriven.
Cad troid cracking, both combatants going at it hammer and tongs in close combat for the full three minutes of each and every round.
After the full four rounds of non-stop action referee Chris Kelly scored the bout 40-36 to the youngster Carwyn Herbert, however that doesn’t really express the closeness of each round or the full on intent of either competitor throughout.
Supporting the two pro bouts were six Wales versus England exhibition bouts, supervision courtesy of Wales Boxing. Whilst I’m not going to cover these because they were not pro, have to say the final two bouts of the six were excellent and really could have featured on any pro card and nobody would have known the difference.
Have to say plaudits must go to co-promoters Dave Murphy (Acourtier Events) and Steven Fisher (Lights Out Promotions) for digging deep into their pockets to bring both the MBC and the WBF Championship to Wales for the first time, even if it meant there wasn’t enough money in the kitty to justify a full pro show, hopefully the Welsh fans will get behind Lee Churcher so his first defense of the WBF title can also be in Newport or nearby.
