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

**יום שבת, MARCH 16TH AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN BOSTON**

***EVENT IS ALMOST SOLD OUT. LIMITED TICKETS*** כאן!

בוסטון (מרץ 4, 2019):

**איגרוף המרפים** is excited to announce that undefeated, Irish heavyweight, **Niall Kenned**ו (12-0-1, 8 קוס) נוסף ל **The 4th Annual St. התנגשות היום של פטריק** אשר יתקיים **יום שבת, March 16th** ב **בוסטון, מסצ'וסטס** ב **בית הבלוז**.

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, ברנדן בארט in a fight broadcast on **DAZN.**

Kennedy’s 2019 debut will fittingly take place at this year’s St. התנגשות היום של פטריק, 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, נלחם 10 שלו 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 **דרמאני רוק** is a fight that should and will happen.”

Murphys Boxing founder, **קן קייסי** 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, פְּקָק, אירלנד של **Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan** (29-3, 20 קוס) in a risky fight against **Khiary גריי** (16-4, 12 קוס) as well as the much anticipated all Irish welterweight showdown between Cork, אירלנד של **ג'ון ג'ויס** (7-0, 4 קוס) and Lucan, אירלנד של **נואל מרפי** (12-1-1, 2 קוס).

Headlining the annual event will be **NABA Junior Middleweight Champion**, Massachusetts’ **מארק דלוקה** (22-1, 13 קוס) who will put his title, ו שלו **עליון 10 world ranking**, on the line against Connecticut’s **ג'ימי וויליאמס** (16-1-1, 5 קוס).

במקרה שיתוף ראשי, בלתי מנוצח **אלופת NABA במשקל כבד קל**, קונטיקט**צ'ארלס פוסטר** (17-0, 8 קוס) will take on once beaten, Chicago power puncher, **מייק ג'ימינז** (22-1-2, 14 קוס).

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). הדלתות נפתחות בשעה 19:00. The night will also feature a special “in ring” acoustic performance by The Dropkick Murphys. Limited tickets are on sale now at:

**BROOKLYN** (מרץ 3, 2019) – אלוף העולם לשעבר של 154 פאונד **Erislandy לארה** and WBA Super Welterweight Champion **בריאן קסטנו** fought to a highly competitive split-draw Saturday at Barclays Center, ביתו של ברוקלין אגרוף ™, באירוע שהציג אלופי הפרמייר באגרוף. 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. השופטים קלעו את המאבק 115-113 (עַרמוֹן), 115-113 (לארה) ו 114-114.

עַרמוֹן (15-0-1, 11 קוס), who was fighting in his first U.S. אירוע מרכזי, held a large advantage in power connects (181-103) while Lara (25-3-3, 14 קוס) 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. בשני המחזורים האחרונים, Castaño ramped up the pressure and connected on 44 אגרופים, 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.”

לארה, מצד השני, 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.”

בשיתוף התכונה, סבלן קובני במשקל כבד **לואיס אורטיז** (31-1, 26 קוס) earned a unanimous decision victory over a game **האמר נוצרי** (24-6, 14 קוס). Although the judges scored the fight 100-90 ו 99-91 פעמיים, both men fought through bloody noses at different points in the fight and both were stunned in a back-and-forth second round.

אורטיז, 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. אנתוני יהושע, דאונטיי ויילדר, אני מוכן. "

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 עבור האמר, while also connecting on 49 אחוזים מאגרופי כוחו. Ortiz made a conscious effort to attack Hammer’s body with 33.6% of his total connects (45 של 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.”

בפותח הטלוויזיה, **אדוארדו רמירז** (22-1-3, 9 קוס) caught **Bryan De Gracia** (24-2-1, 20 קוס) 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, של Los Mochis, Sinaloa, מקסיקו, was trailing on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage according to two out of three judges (the third had it even). רמירז, 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 אחוזים מאגרופי כוחו, while Ramirez landed 38 אחוזים ממנו.

“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.”

עם הניצחון, Ramirez is now in line to face WBA (רגיל) 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, **אדווין רודריגז** (31-2, 20 קוס) won a 10-round cruiserweight fight via unanimous decision overMitch Williams (16-7-3, 11 קוס) על ידי עשרות רבות של 96-94 פעמיים ו 98-92. Coverage on social media also saw **אנטוניו ראסל** (13-0, 11 קוס), younger brother of WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr., stop **Jose Maria Cardenas** (16-4, 13 קוס) 22 seconds into the sixth round of their bantamweight fight. In the opening bout of the digital presentation, **Leduan רתלמי** (14-0-1, 7 קוס) remained unbeaten with a unanimous decision over **Miguel Angel Aispuro** (11-7-2, 7 קוס) על ידי עשרות רבות של 80-72 פעמיים ו 79-73 in their eight-round super featherweight attraction.

**Download the Shields vs. Hammer Press Kit at bit.ly/ShieldsvsHammerPressKit**

**קלרסה שילדס**

“This has been long overdue. I’m just glad that Hammer is here and the fight is set. She’s been at my fights before but I can’t wait to get inside the ring and show her I’m the real champion.

“I’ve traveled to many different countries and dethroned champions around the world. בסופו של היום, I’m coming to fight and I recognize that she’s a great champion. To be a champion for all those years shows that she’s a good fighter. But I also look at resumes, and her resume is not as good as mine.

“I’m not someone coming to lay down. I’m not afraid of her. You don’t win belts by talking. You have to fight. I said two years ago I want to fight Christina Hammer in my seventh fight. It would have been if it weren’t for her medical issue. But now we’re here and ready for April 13.

“אפריל 13 you’re going to see someone fold. אני מבטיח לך, it will not be me. Make sure you all tune-in.

“I think for women’s boxing this is a true super fight that we’ve never gotten before. We’ve never had a fight like this in women’s boxing. It’s great to make this happen and us being from two parts of the world makes this fight even better.

“She’s not the tallest girl I’ve ever fought. I’m stronger than her and I know it. I got up from a knockdown and won. She can’t do that. I don’t believe she knows how to fight on the inside, but she better learn.

“I want to make her quit. I don’t want her to just know I’m a good fighter, I want her to know I’m great. I wish we could go 12 סיבובים, but I’ll be prepared for all 10 rounds.”

**CHRISTINA HAMMER**

“I’m very glad to be here and make this fight happen. I’m looking forward to April 13. I want to show the world who I am.

“This is a big risk to come from Germany to the U.S., but I believe the best should fight the best and I did what I had to so that this could happen. This fight can be a game changer for our sport.

“I will give everything to step out of the ring as a winner. I know Claressa Shields is also a great champion. She’s undefeated like me and that’s why people want to see the fight and that’s why we made it happen.

“I want to thank everyone who made this fight a reality and brought us to this stage. It’s huge for me to be here in New York and I am looking to win on April 13.

“This fight is the real deal. This is going to be a game changer for women’s boxing. I think we’re going to inspire a lot of female athletes who want to live their dream. It’s motivation for everyone.

“I’ve had the title for a long time. I always push myself. This is the fight I wanted to show everyone who is the best. I will be the undisputed champion.

“Shields is beatable. Hanna Gabriels caught her in the first round of their fight and I am taller and stronger than Gabriels. I want to finish the job if I get the chance.

“Anything can happen in boxing. I’m prepared to go the distance. Knockout is the goal but most importantly, I want to win.”

**DMITRIY SALITA, President of Salita Promotions**

“I’m honored to bring to the fans the first super fight in women’s boxing history. A lot of questions surround this fight. Will this be a classic like Leonard vs. Hearns, where the gold medalist handles the experienced pro, or like Mosley vs. דה לה הויה, where the boxing pro took the gold medalist down. This fight is going to be for all of the belts and this recognizes the true value and impact of this fight.

“Christina Hammer has been a world champion for over nine years and has won titles in two divisions. She’s charismatic and a superstar in Germany and Europe. As a champion that she is, she’s traveling to the other side of the world to prove that she’s the best.

“Claressa made the Olympic team when she was 17 שנים, winning our only boxing medal at the 2012 משחקים אולימפיים. She’s the only boxer in U.S. history to win two Olympic gold medals in boxing. She’s had a very impressive pro career, beating world champions and top contenders in all her fights. She’s on her journey to be the best and this fight is a big step toward cementing herself as the GWOAT (greatest woman of all time).

“This is going to be a historic night of boxing. If you watch this fight live and in-person, you will want to hold onto your ticket as a memento.”

**MARK TAFFET, קלרסה שילדס’ מנהל**

“The media support for this fight is outstanding. This is a very special time. This fight is one of the most significant fights I’ve worked on in my career, because of the place it will hold in history.

“Two years ago I met Claressa Shields and we discussed her turning pro. We made a list of dreams and I promised Claressa I would do everything in my power to fulfill every one of them. We’ve had a wonderful journey together. One of those dreams was to make this undisputed championship fight happen. We’re going to keep making dreams happen.”

**TOM LOEFFLER, Christina Hammer’s Advisor**

“Without the fighters wanting this fight, events like this wouldn’t happen. Christina Hammer wants this challenge and she wants to prove she’s the best middleweight champion out there.

“These two fighters can be an example for a lot of male boxers. These are two undefeated fighters in their prime putting it all on the line to show who is the best. You don’t see that very often these days.

“This is going to be a fun promotion. This is a fight that’s a real 50-50 מאבק. Claressa will be coming forward with her style and tenacity, going up against Christina’s experience. It’s for all the marbles”

**סטפן אספינוזה, נשיא ספורט & תכנות אירוע, Showtime Networks Inc.**

“Let’s get one thing straight here. This isn’t just an important women’s fight. This isn’t just a high-quality women’s boxing match. This is a high-quality boxing match. This is an important fight. So certainly we have two very skilled women, we’re not going to ignore that fact. But this is one of the best fights that can be made in this sport. Two pound-for-pound boxers, נלחם הטוב ביותר הטוב ביותר. If you are not interested in this fight, then candidly, you are not a boxing fan. This is as good as this sport gets.

“We at SHOWTIME have a long history showcasing the best in women’s boxing and MMA. Names like Laila Ali, כריסטי מרטין, רונדה רוסיי, מישה טייט, Gina Carano, Cris Cyborg.; those are all fighters who made their debuts and that became stars on SHOWTIME. This has been a long-time commitment.

“The first nationally televised women’s MMA event was on SHOWTIME. The first domestic televised MMA women’s main event was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s boxing match that was nationally televised was on SHOWTIME. The first women’s main event boxing bout was also on SHOWTIME, and that obviously was Claressa just a couple of years ago.

“So here on this stage you’ve got two of the most elite athletes in the sport. Not two of the elite women’s fighters in the sport, but two of the elite athletes within this sport. Two-time gold medalist, the only American to do that consecutively, and a two-belt world champion versus a longtime middleweight champion who has dominated this division for nearly a decade.

“This is one of the best fights that can be made in the entire sport. We have two of the elite athletes in boxing and they are deserving of having everything that comes with a marquee event on SHOWTIME, including our Emmy Award-winning All Access series.”

**JIM WYNKOOP, מנהל כללי, אולם הטיילת**

“We are so excited to have this great fight coming to Boardwalk Hall. It will be our first championship fight in several years and we can’t wait.

“There is a huge history of boxing at Boardwalk hall in Atlantic City and we look forward to writing another chapter on April 13.”

WBO Belted Yomar Álamo in Puerto Rico

פבואר 27, 2019 FNU47 להשאיר תגובה

Aguas Buenas – In an emotional activity held at the Aguas Buenas Urban High School, the World Boxing Organization (WBO), together with its president, פרנסיסקו “Paco” Valcárcel, Esq., delivered the WBO North America (שכנים) ג 'וניור. Welterweight title to boxer Yomar “הקסם” Álamo which he won last Friday in Florida, after defeating Mexican Manuel Méndez by unanimous decision in an event promoted by All Star Boxing.

“When Yomar fought the previously, we were not pleased, Yomar’s people made the decision for him to train with Iván Calderón so that he learned some techniques that Iván had already used very well. Iván is the architect of this and I recognize his work as a coach who charge of polishing this diamond. As a fighter, Iván made 18 world title defenses in the 105 ו 108 pounds of the WBO and will be a safe bet for the Hall of Fame”, Varcárcel said.

An excited Álamo said: “I am very happy with this tribute. This fight was for my people of Aguas Buenas and Puerto Rico, who so need moments of happiness. Everything can be done in life, just set some goals and fight for them, no matter how strong the winds are. If you are at the hands of Jesus Christ, our savior, nothing will be missing and I know that many young people will achieve it”.

Álamo’s trainer Iván Calderón said: “I want to thank Ángel Cotto, who was the one who physically prepared Yomar Álamo for the fight and without that work, you can’t do what you did. Thanks to Efraín Román and Armando for giving me the confidence to join the team. The discipline that Yomar had to represent Aguas Buenas with a lot of pride, knowing that his people are behind him, motivated him a lot”.

“From the Cagüitas neighborhood, we have a young man who, since he was a child, trained in the municipal gym of Aguas Buenas with Efraín Román and his father Armando Álamo. His dedication is remarkable throughout the town. Always running at 4:00 in the morning and that fills us with pride. His title is well deserved and thanks to the WBO for this great activity”, said the Aguas Buenas mayor Javier García Pérez, who was joined by the representative Jorge Navarro, on behalf of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico.

For the WBO, other from Valcárcel, Treasurer Adolfo Flores, Vice-Chairman of the Championship Committee Enrique Mendoza, Esq, Ratings Committee Chairman Edgardo López Sasso, Esq, and adviser Gustavo Olivieri, Esq, היו גם בנוכחות. ��7D��z5üH
