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

**HNUB SATURDAY, MARCH 16TH AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN BOSTON**

***EVENT IS ALMOST SOLD OUT. LIMITED TICKETS*** NTAWM NO!

Boston (Lub peb hlis ntuj 4, 2019):

**Murphys Boxing** is excited to announce that undefeated, Hnyav Irish hnyav, **Niall Kenned**thiab (12-0-1, 8 Kos) tau ntxiv rau **The 4th Annual St. Patrick txoj kev sib tsoo** uas yuav siv sij hawm qhov chaw **Saturday, March 16th** nyob rau hauv **Boston, Massachusetts** nyob rau ntawm lub **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 txoj kev sib tsoo, 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, tau tiv thaiv 10 ntawm nws 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, Cork, Ireland tus **Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan** (29-3, 20 Kos) in a risky fight against **Khiary Grey** (16-4, 12 Kos) as well as the much anticipated all Irish welterweight showdown between Cork, Ireland tus **John Joyce** (7-0, 4 Kos) and Lucan, Ireland tus **Noel Murphy** (12-1-1, 2 Kos).

Headlining the annual event will be **NABA Junior Middleweight Champion**, Massachusetts’ **Kos rau delca** (22-1, 13 Kos) who will put his title, thiab nws **sab saum toj 10 world ranking**, on the line against Connecticut’s **Jimmy Williams** (16-1-1, 5 Kos).

Nyob rau hauv lub co-ntsiab kev tshwm sim, 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).

**Brooklyn** (Lub peb hlis ntuj 3, 2019) – Former 154-pound world champion **Erislandy Lara** and WBA Super Welterweight Champion **Brian Castano** fought to a highly competitive split-draw Saturday at Barclays Center, Lub tsev ntawm Brooklyn Boxing ™, in an event presented by 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. Cov Thawj Txiav Txim Siab 115-113 (Castaño), 115-113 (Lara) thiab 114-114.

Castaño (15-0-1, 11 Kos), who was fighting in his first U.S. ntsiab kev tshwm sim, 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 punches, 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, nyob rau lwm yam tes, 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.”

Nyob rau hauv lub co-feature, Cuban heavyweight slugger **Luis Ortiz** (31-1, 26 Kos) earned a unanimous decision victory over a game **Christian Rauj** (24-6, 14 Kos). Although the judges scored the fight 100-90 thiab 99-91 ob zaug, 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, Kuv npaj txhij. "

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 Rau rauj, while also connecting on 49 feem pua ntawm cov nws lub hwj chim punches. Ortiz made a conscious effort to attack Hammer’s body with 33.6% of his total connects (45 ntawm 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.”

Hauv kev hu xov tooj cua, **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, ntawm Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, 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 feem pua ntawm cov nws lub hwj chim punches, while Ramirez landed 38 feem pua ntawm nws.

“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.”

Nrog lub yeej, 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) los ntawm cov qhab nia ntawm 96-94 ob zaug thiab 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) los ntawm cov qhab nia ntawm 80-72 ob zaug thiab 79-73 in their eight-round super featherweight attraction.

JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER, GREG VENDETTI RETURNS MARCH 29TH IN HOMECOMING MURPHYS BOXING EVENT

**UNDEFEATED WELTERWEIGHT, MIKE OHAN JR. TO APPEAR**

**Friday, MARCH 29TH AT MEMORIAL HALL**
**IN MELROSE, Massachusetts**

**Daim pib ntawm muag tam sim no ntawm** WWW.MURPHYSBOXING.COM

Boston, Massachusetts (Lub ob hlis ntuj 26, 2019):

**Murphys Boxing** is proud to announce the return of junior middleweight contender and fan favorite, **Greg Vendetti** (20-3-1, 12 Kos) uas yuav muab rau **Manny Zoov** (16-8-1, 6 Kos) on Friday, March 29th at **Memorial Hall** nyob rau hauv **Melrose**, **Massachusetts** nyob rau hauv ib tug 10 round sib ntau sib tw.

Vendetti, who last summer pulled off a massive upset against former world title challenger,**Yoshihiro Kamegai** rau ESPN2, found himself in the Top 10 rankings and was offered the chance to fight France’s **Michel Soro** rau lub **WBA Interim Super Welterweight Championship** in Paris this past December.

‘The Villain’, who was on an incredible **16 fight winning streak**, came up short in his first shot at a title but is looking to get back in the winning column in front of his hometown fans at Memorial Hall in a tough match up against upset specialist, **Manny Zoov**.

“Despite the loss, 2018 was an amazing year for me. Kuv tiv thaiv 5 times and I had the biggest win of my career as a B-side against Kamegai which landed me in the Top 10. We were offered the Soro fight for the Interim world title and even though I felt like my body needed some time off, you can’t say no to that kind of opportunity. You never know when or if it will come again.”, explains the Stoneham, Massachusetts native.

“It was a rough camp. I trained too hard. My body was falling apart. As for the fight, it was an ugly knockout but that’s part of the game. I’m proud of how I handled it. No shame. No embarrassment. I wasn’t phased by it. Of course I wasn’t happy about it but my first thought was what do we do to get better? The fight showed me I have to get sharper. Continue to be aggressive but be smarter and more tactical about it. It was only one battle in a long war.”

As for taking on a seasoned veteran like Woods when he could have easily asked for a tune up, Vendetti shows the attitude that has made him such a fan favorite.

“I like to fight and wanted to be in a real fight in my return. Knocking out a ham and egger in the first round isn’t enjoyable for me or the fans. It’s a waste of a camp and a weight cut not to mention you don’t learn anything. Woods is a durable, legit guy who is coming to win. That’s what I need and want.”

And after going 50/50 against against world class opposition last year, would Vendetti be willing to take on a top 10 fighter again in 2019?

“100%. I want to make a statement against Woods then keep improving with each fight. I don’t want to take any steps back with the opposition. Everything forward. As long as I’m healthy, I will fight anyone in the division.”

Nyob rau hauv lub co-ntsiab kev tshwm sim, fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate and Massachusetts fan favorite, **Ryan Kielczweski** (29-4, 11 Kos) will take on an opponent to be named in an 8 round contest in the lightweight division.

‘The Polish Prince’ is coming off his show stealing back and forth battle with **Tommy Coyle** at TD Garden in Boston this past October on the undercard of the **Demethi-aus Andrade** WBO world middleweight title fight.

Despite dropping the decision, Kielczweski, who hails from Quincy, Massachusetts, showed world class talent and massive heart in an all out war that had the arena crowd on it’s feet.

Also featured on the card will be the most recent addition to Murphys Boxing’s growing roster, **Mike Ohan Jr.** (8-0, 5 Kos).

The son of a popular New England area professional fighter in the 1990s, Ohan Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps going **82-10** in the amateurs and picking up multiple **New England Golden Gloves** lub npe.

Fighting a remarkable 8 lub sij hawm nyob rau hauv 2 years and upping the competition level in each outing, including a unanimous decision over veteran, **Daniel Sostre** Hauv nws txoj kev sib ntaus kawg, Ohan has been on the fast track as a professional. The impressive win lead to the young fighter, who hails from Holbrook, Massachusetts, being offered a contract with Murphys Boxing.

“I am beyond excited to be a part of the Murphys Boxing family.”, says Ohan, Jr. who will fight an opponent to be named in a 6 round bout on the card.

“Being with such an active promotional company will give me the opportunity to grow as a fighter and showcase my skills as I move towards my dream of one day being a world champion.”

In addition to the three headlining local favorites, the card will feature a 4 round super lightweight women’s bout between **Jillian DiAuto** (1-1, 1 KO) thiab **Sarah Click** (0-1-1), as well as the east coast debut of Venezuelan super lightweight sensation, **Luis Arcon** (5-0, 5 Kos) who will take on an opponent to be named in a 6 round sib ntau sib tw.

3 more undercard bouts will be announced shortly to kick off the night at the beloved throwback venue which has become a mainstay of Murphys Boxing.

“Memorial Hall is my favorite fight venue.”, says Ken Casey, founder of Murphys Boxing.

“It gets incredibly loud in there when Greg fights and with the bowl seating, it feels like a mini coliseum.”

Vendetti, who will be making his 7th appearance at the always sold out venue, couldn’t agree more with his promoter.

“It’s intense. I really do feel like a gladiator fighting in a coliseum when I’m at Memorial Hall and for a gladiator there’s only two options… victory or death.”
