CARSON, CALIF. (Mars 7, 2019) – Tidigare mästare två division världen Danny “Swift” Garcia will battle hard-hitting veteran Adrian Granados in a 12-round welterweight bout that will headline the live prime time event presented by Premier Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, April 20 from Dignity Health Sports Park (formerly StubHub Center) i Carson, Kalifornien.

Heavyweight contenderAndy Ruiz Jr.tar påAlexander Dimitrenko in a 10-round bout in the co-feature and unbeaten contenderBrandon Figueroabattles Venezuela’sYonfrez Parejo in a 12-round match for the WBA Interim Super Bantamweight title that opens the primetime FOX broadcast that begins at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Mayweather Promotions, i samarbete med DSG-kampanjer, finns det erbjudanden nu. Tickets can be purchased at AXS.com or at the Dignity Health Sports Park box office from 10:00 a.m. till 6:00 p.m.

“Danny Garcia is one of the preeminent boxers of this generation,” sa Tom Brown, VD för TGB Promotions. “He’s a champion through and through. His resume is a veritable ‘Who’s Who?’ of the best at 140 och 147 pounds over the last 10 år. He’s hungry to get his title back and he’s willing to go through anyone to do that. Adrian Granados is a tough competitor looking to join the championship ranks and Danny represents the most direct route. It’s the kind of clash that makes for entertaining matches. The fans at Dignity Health Sports Park and watching on FOX and FOX Deportes on April 20 are in for a treat.” 

“Danny Garcia knows that he¹s going to have to be on his A-game, as a victory over Adrian Granados puts him back in position to regain his welterweight championship,” säger Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. “Adrian Granados is a fighter thatalways comes to put on exciting fights and holds nothing back against his opponents. The action leading up to the main event is sure to be crowd pleasers. I expect the fans in attendance to bring the energy to Dignity Health Sports Park and those tuning in on FOX and FOX Deportes will be fully entertained as well.”

Garcia (34-2, 20 Kos) has fought and defeated many of the most formidable opponents at 140 and 147-pounds spanning two generations-Erik Morales, Zab Judah, Kendall Holt, Amir Khan, Lucas Matthysse, Paulie Malignaggi and Lamont Peterson among them. Six of his seven opponents in the welterweight division were former or current world champions and 12 av hans sista 16 opponents overall carried the same distinction. Included in that run was a headlining performance live on FOX in January 2016, when he defeated Robert Guerrero to capture his welterweight title in Los Angeles. Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, the 30-year-old most recently lost an exciting and narrow decision to Shawn Porter in their September title fight.

“I cannot wait to get back in the ring and put on the Danny Garcia show once again,” Said Garcia. “Granados was talking a big game when we first announced the fight and I plan on proving him wrong on April 20. The Southern California fans have always treated me right and I’m excited to give them a great fight.”

Fighting out of Cicero, Ilinois, Granados (20-6-2, 14 Kos) has made a name for himself by delivering tough, action-packed fights against top fighters in the sport, including Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner. The 29-year-old burst onto the scene by shocking then unbeaten Amir Imam via a stoppage victory in their 2015 clash. After a fight last June against Javier Fortuna that ended in a no contest, Granados picked up two-straight knockout wins heading into this matchup.

“This is a huge fight for me and definitely one of the most important in my career,” said Granados. “I’m looking to dominate, look impressive and control the fight. I’ve fought in Southern California before and I’m looking to take advantage of the great Mexican crowd. This is Mexico versus Puerto Rico and Chicago vs. Philadelphia. It’s territorial on a lot of levels and you can expect us to leave it all in the ring.”

Fighting out of Imperial, Kalifornien, Ruiz (31-1, 20 Kos) was a two-time Mexican national champion at super heavyweight as an amateur, before embarking on a pro career that saw him win his first 29 slagsmål. The 29-year-old lost a close majority decision against Joseph Parker in their 2016 world title fight and rebounded with victories over Kevin Johnson and Devin Vargas last year.

The 36-year-old Dimitrenko (41-4, 26 Kos) is a longtime heavyweight contender who has challenged top fighters throughout his career. Born in Russia but fighting out of Hamburg, Tyskland, he most recently lost to Bryant Jennings in a back and forth fight in August and owns wins over Derric Rossy, Adrian Granat and Miljan Rovcanin.

The 22-year-old Figueroa (18-0, 13 Kos) most recently delivered a dominant performance in knocking out Moises Flores in the third-round of their January fight on FS1. Representing Weslaco, Texas, the younger brother of former world champion Omar has a five-fight knockout streak that he brings into the ring on April 20.

A former interim champion and title challenger at bantamweight, Parejo (22-3-1, 11 Kos) will look to make his mark at 122-pounds when he battles Figueroa on April 20. The 32-year-old from Venezuela lost a bantamweight world title fight to Ryan Burnett last March, but rebounded to most recently defeat Benjamin Mendoza in February. He won an interim title by stopping Luis Hinojosa in 2014 before losing a split-decision the following year to former champion Zhanat Zhakiyanov.

Fans can live stream the fights on the FOX Sports app, available in English or Spanish through the FOX or FOX Deportes feeds. The fights are available on desktop at FOXSports.com and through the app store, or connected devices including Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, Xbox One and Roku.

OBEFÄRDA HJUDVIKTSUTSIKTER JERMAINE FRANKLIN OCH OTTO WALLIN KOMPETET I Separat samverkande attraktioner LÖRDAG, APRIL 13 LIVE ON SHOWTIME® FRÅN BOARDWALK HALL I ATLANTISK STAD

Lämna en kommentar

Claressa Shields och Christina Hammer träffas
SHOWTIME BOXNING: SPECIALUTGÅVA® Main Event
Till Crown obestridda kvinnors medelviktmästare

NEW YORK – Mars 7, 2019 – Två obesegrade utsikter för tungvikt kommer att sätta sina obemärktade rekord på linjen när de kämpar i separata anfall på lördag, April 13 bor på SHOWTIME från Boardwalk Hall i Atlantic City, N.J på underkortet av den banbrytande händelsen Claressa Shields-Christina Hammer. De bästa amerikanska tungviktsutsikterna Jermaine Franklin kommer att ta på sig tidigare nr. 1-rang U.S.. amatör Rydell Booker i den 10-runda medföljande anfallen medan obesegrad svensk tungvikt Otto Wallin kommer att slåss mot mycket dekorerad amatör Nick Kisner i en 10-runda kollision som öppnar SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader kl 9 p.m. ET / PT.


I main event, obesegrade medelviktvärldsmästare Shields och Hammer möts för att krona kvinnornas obestridda världskampmästare på 160 pund i det som utan tvekan är den viktigaste kvinnors boxningsevenemang i historien.

Biljetter för live-event, som främjas av Salita kampanjer, är prissatta på $150, $100, $55 och $35 och finns det erbjudanden nu. Biljetter kan köpas via Ticketmaster och på boardwalkhall.com.

“Tungvikt-divisionen är lika begåvad och spännande som någonsin,och vi är glada över att lägga till två obesegrade krigare till april 13 telecast,” nämnda promotor Dmitriy Salita. “Vi har de bästa amerikanska tungviktsutsikterna i Jermaine Franklin och en av de bästa europeiska tungviktare i Otto Wallin. Dessa slagsmål kommer att vara enorma ledningar till de historiska Shields vs. Hammer huvudevenemang och kommer att skapa en natt att komma ihåg för boxfans över hela världen.”

Den 25-åriga Franklin (17-0, 13 Kos), från Saginaw, Mich., är en tidigare amatörsutställning och en 2014 National Golden Gloves Champion. En trolig kandidat för att företräda U.S.. vid 2016 OLYMPISKA SPELEN, Franklin avslog möjligheten att tävla om en plats i laget och valde istället att börja sin professionella karriär i 2015. Allmänt betraktas som den bästa amerikanska tungvikt utsikterna, Franklin har byggt sin obesegrade skiva relativt lätt sedan han blev proffs, slog ut nio av hans första 10 professionella motståndare. Kommer från ett snedigt beslut om tio omgångar över Craig Lewis i juli, Franklin strävar efter att fortsätta röra sig upp i den återupptagande tungviktdivisionen i 2019 och positionera sig för ett titelskott.

“Jag kan inte vänta – Jag är redo att visa att jag är den nya mannen i tungviktdivisionen,” Said Franklin. “Rydell är en bra fighter men han är i vägen för mitt mål att vinna tungviktens världstitel. April 13 kommer att vara mitt kommande parti och jag är väldigt hedrad att ha denna möjlighet på SHOWTIME.”

Booker (25-1, 12 Kos), från Detroit, Mich., är en före detta nr 1-rankad U.S.. amatör som en gång var en stigande tungvikt utsikterna med en 22-0 post. Han led sitt ensamma nederlag mot den tidigare tre-divisionsvärldsmästaren James Toney, som kom ut vinner över Vassiliy Jirov och Evander Holyfield, i 2004. Efter att ha avslutat 12 års fängelse, Booker har återvänt till ringen för att få sitt liv tillbaka på rätt spår och uppfylla sina en gång lovande förväntningar, registrerar tre enhälliga beslutsseger i 2018 under ledning av före detta världsmästaren Jimmy Paul.

“Det betyder mycket att ha denna möjlighet att slåss på SHOWTIME,” sa den 38-åriga Booker, som sparrade med tungviktens världsmästare Anthony Joshua som förberedelse för sin september 2018 anfall med Alexander Povetkin. “Jag är redo att visa mina talanger på en nationell scen så att alla kommer att veta vem Rydell Booker återigen är. Jag tycker att Jermaine Franklin är en ganska bra fighter men han har aldrig kämpat någon med min erfarenhet, kunskap i ringen eller min ringkyndiga. Jag kommer att lära honom några nya lektioner i april 13. Jag har en väska full av godsaker och knep till mitt förfogande som jag kommer att lära denna unga piskersnabbare.”

Wallin (20-0, 13 Kos), som kommer att göra sin US. debut, vände pro i 2013 och har gradvis stigit i rankningen genom inspelning 20 segrar i rad. Den 28-åriga Southpaw, som ursprungligen spelade ishockey och fotboll i sitt hemland innan han hittade den söta vetenskapen, vann Svenska Boxmästerskapet vid 16-åringen, kämpade mot Joshua två gånger som amatör och var medlem i Swedish National Boxing Team. För närvarande rankat nr. 5 av både WBA och IBF, Wallin vann senast ett enhälligt beslut i 12 omgångar över Adrian Granat i april 2018 och har nu blivit inriktade på att bli hans lands första tungviktmästare sedan Ingemar Johansson i 1960.

“Jag är väldigt upphetsad över att göra mina USA. debut på SHOWTIME,” sa Wallin, som har tillbringat de senaste två åren för att bedriva träningsläger i New York med sin tränare och före detta två-divisionsmästare Joey Gamache. “Att slåss på ett så stort kort är väldigt inspirerande. Jag har drömt om det här ögonblicket sedan jag började boxas i en ålder av 15. Jag kommer att få en bra prestation i april 13 och presentera mig för de amerikanska fansen. Jag kommer att vara ett steg närmare mitt mål att vinna tungviktens världstitel. Som jag har sagt tidigare, Jag är ett barn från en liten stad i Sverige och jag är stolt över var jag är ifrån och vad jag hittills har uppnått, men jag känner att det här är när allt roligt börjar.”

Den 28-åriga Kisner (21-4-1, 6 Kos) har tävlat på både kryssningsvikt och tungvikt sedan han blev professionell 2010 efter en framgångsrik amatörkarriär. Bland Kisners många amatörigenkänningar, Baltimore, Md. infödda var en tre gånger National Silver Gloves Champion, två gånger Junior National Golden Gloves Champion och Ringside World Champion. Han skiljer sig från att vara den yngsta boxaren i amerikansk historia någonsin som vann en Men's National-titel i tungviktdivisionen på 17 år gammal. As a pro, tre av Kisners fyra förluster har kommit mot motståndare som skrytt med en obesegrad rekord på kampkvällen. I sin sista match, Kisner försvarade sin WBA U.S.. kryssningsviktstitel med majoritetsbeslut över Scott Sigmon.

“Jag har drömt hela mitt liv om en dag att slåss på nationell TV och nu när tiden är här, Jag kommer att få ut det mesta,” sa Kisner. “Wallin är väldigt bra men jag kommer att bevisa att jag är en av de bästa tungviktarna på planeten. Jag har bevisat min förmåga att slå de bästa i världen på både amatör- och proffsnivå och jag kommer att göra det igen den 13 april.”

Barry Tompkins kommer att kalla SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION action från ringside med boxningshistorikern Steve Farhood och före detta världsmästaren Raul Marquez som tjänar som expertanalytiker. Den verkställande tillverkaren av SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION är Gordon Hall med Richard Gaughan producerande och Rick Phillips regi.

ARLINGTON, TX. (Mars 5, 2019) – IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol Spence Jr. och fyrdelningsvärldsmästare Mikey Garcia hosted separate media workouts in Dallas and Riverside, SÅSOM. respectively on Tuesday as they near their historic showdown that headlines the first Premier Boxing Champions on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event Saturday, Mars 16 from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Spence hosted media at World Class Boxing Gym in Dallas and was joined by undefeated former super middleweight champion David Benavidez, som tar påJ'Leon Kärlek in PBC on FOX Sports Pay-Per-View action. Garcia’s workout also featured heavyweight fan-favorite Chris Arreola, who participated in the workout at Robert Garcia Boxing Academy and will face Jean Pierre Augustin in Pay-Per-View action beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Tickets for this showdown, which is promoted by TGB Promotions and Ringstar Sports, finns det erbjudanden nu, och kan köpas på SeatGeek.com, the Official Ticketing Provider of AT&T Stadium.

Here is what the fighters and more had say Tuesday from the two media events:

ERROL SPENCE JR.

“Jag är verkligen glada för denna kamp, especially to have it at AT&T Stadium. Jag är 100% focused and ready for next week. This fight is going to have a bigger crowd, be more electrifying and will just be an amazing event overall.

“A lot of times when I’m in AT&T Stadium watching the NFL games, or watching Pacquiao fights or Canelo fights, the jumbotrons are so big that you get caught up looking up even when you’re ringside. It’s great because there isn’t a bad seat in the place with the jumbotron.

“This is definitely one of those crossover fights for me. Garcia is the biggest name to date that I’m fighting on American soil. It’s just great being so young in my career, fighting in my first pay-per-view and fighting with a guy like Garcia who brings over a different fanbase.

“You can tell how I looked ten weeks ago compared to how I look now. I’m not overlooking Garcia. I’m in tip-top shape, slim and ready. The difference is that now in a pay-per-view fight you have to be more dedicated and focused to promote the fight, showing that you are a star in boxing and sports media.

“If you know me and you know my boxing style, you know I’m never in a boring fight. Even if it’s just me beating up my opponent, or them just being hurt, I’m always going to try to stop my opponent and put on a spectacular performance.

“I put that pressure to look great on myself, not just because I’m undefeated or because everybody says this about me, I do it for myself to put on a great performance and a great show. I want to do that so great guys can look at me and think about if they want to fight me or not. That’s why a lot of guys don’t want to fight me.”

MIKEY GARCIA

“A lot of people underestimate the power when they face me. They don’t see my physical size as a threat. But you know they feel the power once we’re in the ring and definitely change their minds.

“(I wanted to fight Spence) because he’s the best right now in the (weltervikt) delning. I want to make a statement. I want to make a mark, and you know I have to do that against the best.

“I believe I’m a better fighter overall. When it comes to footwork, I think I have the better footwork. When it comes to speed, I think I have better speed. When it comes to defense, I have better defense. With timing, I have better timing. All of these things are what will help me win this fight. The only thing that he has going for him that’s apparent is the size, height, weight and reach.

“I’ve always said I’m better than him. Not by a lot, but just enough to beat him. He also reminds me of myself in a lot of ways, hur han kämpar, the way he is. He does everything well, good footwork, bra fart, controls the fight at his distance that he likes… In a lot of ways, it resembles the way I fight. But I still feel that I’m better in every one of those ways and that’s what I’m betting on.”

DAVID Benavidez

“I’m extremely excited to be fighting in front of 40,000-plus people in the co-main event on March 16. It’s like a dream come true fighting at AT&T Stadium.

“I’m looking forward to going in and getting a knockout… I’ve been training extremely hard. Three months of training for this camp. It’s been good. I have like six pounds left to lose, so I haven’t struggled with the weight at all. I’ve been on a diet for at least three months now. The work has been done in and outside of the ring. Everything has been perfect leading up to this fight and I’m extremely ready.

“It was difficult (losing my title). I beat myself for that belt. I 2019, we are not taking any steps back, only forward.

“There are a lot of good fights I know that can be made. Så, I am very excited to do my part and hopefully face-off against Anthony Dirrell, Caleb Plant or Callum Smith at the end of the year. I’m already in line to fight for the WBC title, but I’ve got to first take care of my job with J’Leon Love.

“Love is a good boxer, en räknare lagare. He’s been in the game for a while now. But like I said, I’m ready for anything. I’ve studied him a lot, so I’m just ready for anything he presents.

“I want to become the undisputed champion (at super middleweight). That’s my ultimate goal. Then I can talk about moving up. Just nu, I want all the belts.”

CHRIS Arreola

“Just nu, my career is all about putting in the work and my legacy. I’m not in this anymore for money. I love money, but I’m comfortable. I’m here for legacy. I want to leave something behind… I’m chasing a title.

“I feel mentally sharper now. Mentally I’m just relaxed in the ring. Some people are amped the whole round. But no, I know how to relax and work the ring and work my fight.

“The main thing this time around is I’m fighting a lefty and the first three or four times being in the ring sparring it’s a little different. It’s different angles and different punches… So that’s the main thing that’s probably the hardest part is lefties and getting used to it.”

DERRICK JAMES, Spence tränare

“I just think Errol is so hungry and he has the ability to be great. The way he adjusts in the fights and he really sets the tone. Most of all, his fights have been one-sided. Regardless who he’s fighting against, how great they are, what their record is, what they said they’ll do to him, he’s just been able to have one-sided affairs. Hopefully we can have the same thing in this fight.

“This has been a tremendous training camp. I’ve seen how hard Errol has worked and how motivated he is. He’s extremely confident, and rightfully so. På mars 16, I know Mikey is going to come prepared, but so are we. Whatever Mikey brings into the ring, we’re going to have the answer.”

ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Tränare

“Mikey has been there before in many championship fights. Uppenbarligen, this is the biggest challenge against a bigger, heavier guy. But at this point in training, I think we’re in great shape. We know (Errol) is going to be the heavier guy in the ring, but he’s not going to be the better or smarter guy.

“We’re going to fight a technical fight, especially in the first few rounds, to figure out what Errol Spence is brining into the fight. But if we have to back him up and fight on the inside, then we’re going to do what’s necessary.”

RICHARD SCHAEFER, Ordförande & VD för Ringstar Sports

“FOX is really putting their weight behind boxing, and you’ve seen what that meant for other sports. When UFC got involved with FOX, you saw how it elevated the sport of MMA and UFC… FOX is doing the same thing now on the boxing side and I really believe it will elevate boxing. It brings the general market to this sport, and I think that’s what we’re going to see here with this pay-per-view.

“When you have a fight like Spence and Garcia, boxing fans know about it. Sports fans know about it. But the general market doesn’t really know about it. Så, I think if you can market towards the general market it just opens up the flood gates as it relates to pay-per-view. And that’s the advantage FOX has compared to an ESPN.”

Owen Minor with his sons, (L) Ramiel and Amaren

WORCESTER, Mäss. (Mars 5, 2019) – Decorated amateur boxer Owen Minor has spent the past three years focusing on fatherhood responsibilities. Minor will make his long-awaited professional debut with his two sons at his side on the “Every Man for Himself” kort, Shearns Boxing Promotions’ (SBP) inaugural event, on Friday night, Mars 15, vid The Palladium i Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 32-year-old Minor, who didn’t start boxing until he was 23, captured bronze medals at the 2014 US. Boxing National and National Golden Gloves tournaments. New England boxing fans have been anxiously waiting for his pro debut.

Why did it take so long for Minor to turn pro, especially after a relatively late start in the sport, in addition to developing into quality national amateur boxer?

“I was being a father,” Minor explained. “I have two sons, nu 11 och 8, and living in Worcester is tough. I wanted to make sure that I put them in the right direction.”

Den 6′ 1″, 235-pound Minor will be making his pro debut on a card headlined by his cousin and fellow Worcester boxer, Kendrick “Peppa” Boll, Jr. (11-1-2, 8 Kos), who faces upset-minded Danny “Feel Good Hollywood” Rosenberger (4-6-4, 1 KO), av Hubbard, Ohio, in the six-round main event for the vacant New England middleweight title.

Kendrick Ball, Sr. trains his son as well as his nephew, Minor, who takes on Philadelphia’s Corey Morley (0-2-1) in the four-round, co-featured event.

“It’s a privilege to make my pro debut in my hometown on a card headlined by my cousin,” Minor said. “Not every boxer gets a chance like this. It’s a great honor for me. I love the City of Worcester and the people who live here. Boxing has always been big in my family and I want to continue our legacy in Worcester boxing.”

Undefeated Southbridge, MA weltervikt Wilfredo “den Sucaro” Hednisk (5-0, 3 Kos) meets an upset-specialist, Peruvian Carlos Galindo (1-7), fighting out of Woburn, MA, in a four-round clash.

Även slåss på undercard, all in four-round fights, are Bridgeport, CT junior lightweightCarlos Marrero III (0-2-1) vs. Worcester’s Edwin Rosado (1-8-1, 1 KO), Worcester cruiserweight Jake Paradise (0-2) vs. Francisco Artri Neto (0-2), av Woburn, MA, New Haven, CT junior welterweight Anuel Rosa (1-0, 1 KO) vs. the Bronx’ Danny Morales (0-7), and New Britain, CT Nathan Martinez (2-0) vs. TBA.

KENNEDY JOINS FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, GARY ’SPIKE’ O’SULLIVAN, JOHN JOYCE & NOEL MURPHY ON STACKED HOLIDAY CARD


LÖRDAG, MARCH 16TH AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN BOSTON


EVENT IS ALMOST SOLD OUT. LIMITED TICKETS HÄR!


Boston (Mars 4, 2019):


Murphys Boxning is excited to announce that undefeated, Irländsk tungvikt, Niall Kennedoch (12-0-1, 8 Kos) har lagts till The 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash som äger rum Lördag, March 16th i Boston, Massachusetts vid 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 Barrett in a fight broadcast on DAZN.


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 the Massachusetts State Heavyweight Title on 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, har kämpat 10 av hans 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’s Darmani Rock is a fight that should and will happen.”


Murphys Boxing founder, Ken Casey agrees 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, Kork, Irlands Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 Kos) in a risky fight against Khiary Gray (16-4, 12 Kos) as well as the much anticipated all Irish welterweight showdown between Cork, Irlands John Joyce (7-0, 4 Kos) and Lucan, Irlands Noel Murphy (12-1-1, 2 Kos).


Headlining the annual event will be NABA Junior Middleweight Champion, Massachusetts’ Mark DeLuca (22-1, 13 Kos) who will put his title, and his topp 10 world ranking, on the line against Connecticut’s Jimmy Williams (16-1-1, 5 Kos).


I co-main event, obesegrad 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).


Murphys Boxing’s 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes place on Saturday, March 16th in Boston, Massachusetts at the House of Blues (15 Lansdowne Street). Doors open at 7pm.

BROOKLYN (Mars 3, 2019) – Former 154-pound world champion Erislandy Lara and WBA Super Welterweight Champion Brian Brown fought to a highly competitive split-draw Saturday at Barclays Center, hemmet till BROOKLYN BOXING ™, i ett evenemang som presenteras av Premier Boxing Champions. With the draw, Castaño retains the WBA belt in what was the toughest test of his career against the longtime top 154-pounder in Lara. The judges scored the fight 115-113 (Castaño), 115-113 (Lara) och 114-114.

Castaño (15-0-1, 11 Kos), who was fighting in his first U.S. main event, held a large advantage in power connects (181-103) while Lara (25-3-3, 14 Kos) found success landing his left hand down the middle on his way to a 34 percent to 27 percent advantage in power accuracy.

In the close, difficult-to-score fight, five of the rounds were separated by three or fewer connects and three of those rounds favored Lara. In the final two rounds, Castaño ramped up the pressure and connected on 44 stansar, while Lara landed only 24 punches across the championship rounds. Castaño won the final three rounds on all three judges’ scorecards. Without doing so, the Argentine would have lost his belt.

After the hotly contested fight, both fighters have options, including a rematch, in the talent-rich super welterweight division.

“I know I won the fight. I feel I was robbed,” a disappointed Castaño told SHOWTIME’s Jim Gray. “If he wants the rematch, I’ll give him the rematch. I waited for him this time so I can wait for him again if he wants the rematch. I would give him the rematch if he wants. I can also go ahead and fight any other champion that wants to fight me. I’m ready for whoever they put in front of me. Hurd or anyone else.”

Lara, å andra sidan, felt he did enough to claim the belt: “I thought I won the fight by landing the more accurate and effective punches. Castaño came to fight but he never hurt me and I hurt him. All I can do is give the fans great fights and that’s what I’ll continue to do. I have a lot of fight left in me and I’m not going anywhere.

“If we have to fight him again, I’ll fight him. Hurd or Castaño. Anybody, I’ll have the rematch with both.”

I co-funktionen, Cuban heavyweight slugger Luis Ortiz (31-1, 26 Kos) earned a unanimous decision victory over a game Christian Hammer (24-6, 14 Kos). Although the judges scored the fight 100-90 och 99-91 två gånger, both men fought through bloody noses at different points in the fight and both were stunned in a back-and-forth second round.

Ortiz, who earned his third consecutive victory since dropping a thrilling slugfest with WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder one year ago, is now looking for another world title shot.

“The fight wasn’t what I was expecting,” said Ortiz. “It was a hard fight and my corner really had to work with me. After I got the rhythm, I heated up a little bit. Every heavyweight out there should know that I still have it at 40-years-old. Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, Jag är redo. "

Although Hammer fought with more energy and with more resolve than in previous fights with other top-tier heavyweights Tyson Fury and Alexander Povetkin, Ortiz used his superior technique and skills to eventually cruise to the lopsided decision. Ortiz averaged 45 jabs thrown per round and landed 61 jabs to just 20 for Hammer, while also connecting on 49 procent av hans makt slag. Ortiz made a conscious effort to attack Hammer’s body with 33.6% of his total connects (45 av 140) coming via body shots.

“I fought a fight that I hadn’t for years, which is box and work,” said Ortiz. “So I’m not disappointed I didn’t knock him out because I showed some of my boxing skills tonight.”

“Ortiz is a very good and experienced fighter,” said the 31-year-old Hammer, who was making his American debut. “He’s technical and smart but he’s not as intimidating as people say he is. I respect Ortiz but I don’t think he’s the best fighter I’ve ever faced.

“I’m very confident going forward. I know that I can go the distance with anyone and I’m willing to fight anyone. People thought I’d get knocked out but I proved them wrong.”

I telecast-öppnaren, Eduardo Ramirez (22-1-3, 9 Kos) caught Bryan De Gracia (24-2-1, 20 Kos) with a vicious right uppercut in the ninth, stunning his opponent and suddenly breaking open a close fight. Ramirez pounced on the dazed De Gracia and unleashed a wave of punches which forced referee Benjy Esteves to call the fight at 2:10 of round nine.

The southpaw Ramirez, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexiko, was trailing on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage according to two out of three judges (the third had it even). Ramirez, known to grow stronger in the later rounds, connected on 36 punches in round number nine, by far his highest connect total on the night. Although De Gracia was the more aggressive fighter, the Panamanian failed to consistently land punches. De Gracia was accurate on just 27 procent av hans makt slag, while Ramirez landed 38 procent av den.

“I definitely knew it was close but my corner kept telling me to keep going and going, and that’s when I caught him,” said Ramirez, who was fighting with a heavy heart following the passing of his grandfather. “I didn’t just come here to fight. I came here to do something and I did it.”

Med segern, Ramirez is now in line to face WBA (Regular) Featherweight World Champion Can Xu and will be looking to challenge for a world title fight in the deep featherweight division.

In SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING COUNTDOWN action that streamed live on theSHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page, Edwin Rodriguez (31-2, 20 Kos) won a 10-round cruiserweight fight via unanimous decision overMitch Williams (16-7-3, 11 Kos) med massor av 96-94 två gånger och 98-92. Coverage on social media also saw Antonio Russell (13-0, 11 Kos), younger brother of WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr., stop Jose Maria Cardenas (16-4, 13 Kos) 22 seconds into the sixth round of their bantamweight fight. In the opening bout of the digital presentation, Leduan Barthelemy (14-0-1, 7 Kos) remained unbeaten with a unanimous decision over Miguel Angel Aispuro (11-7-2, 7 Kos) med massor av 80-72 två gånger och 79-73 in their eight-round super featherweight attraction.
