Boston (Februar 4, 2019):



Murphys Boxing is proud to announce their 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash will take place on Subota, March 16th još jednom na House of Blues u Boston.


Headlining the stacked card will be Whitman, Masačusets’ Mark DeLuca (22-1, 13 KOs). The current NABA Super Welterweight Champion, is ranked #10 in the world by the WBA and will defend his title against Connecticut’s Jimmy 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 of Demetrius Andrade world title fight at TD Garden which was shown worldwide on DAZN. DeLuca won a unanimous decision in what was an immediate rematch of the only blemish on his record, a split decision loss to Walter 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 sada, 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. Patrika Dan, DeLuca is well aware that it isn’t the average boxing card.


“St. Patrika Dan. Boston. Dropkick Murphys. What more can you say? The atmosphere is electric.


U 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, Masačusets’ Khiary Grey (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 with Golden Boy Promotions has 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 puta.


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 seea fight!”


The night will also feature a who’s who of New England’s hottest young contenders and prospects.


Murphys Boxing’s Charles Foster (17-0, 8 KOs) will put his NABA Light Heavyweight Championship title on the line in a 10 round bout against Chicago’s Mike Jimenez (22-1-2, 14 KOs).


The New Haven, Connecticut based Foster is a world ranked contender (#10 u WBA) and is fresh off a national television appearance last year when he beat the previously undefeated, Alvin Varmall, Jr. na 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, Masačusets’ favorite son, Travis Mazac Gambardella (5-0-2, 2 KOs), who trains out of the popular, KnuckleHeadz Gym in Ventura, Kalifornija, will return home to try and extend his undefeated record against fellow Boston area fighter, Maceo Crowder (2-2, 1 KO) u 6 round middleweight contest.


South Boston’s Joe 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’s Steve 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, Irske John Joyce (7-0, 4 KOs) travels to America to take on Cork, Irske 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, James Perella. The decorated amateur fighter will turn proagainst Woburn, Masačusets’ Bruno Dias (0-5) u 4 round contest.


“The St. Patrick’s Day Clash is my favorite promotion of the year and one that our fighters and fans really look forward to.”, explains, 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.


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. The night will also feature a specialin ringacoustic performance by The Dropkick Murphys. Ulaznice su u prodaji na sada:

Yamaguchi Falcao to Spike O’Sullivan: Stop Running from me!

 

Yama vs Spike.jpeg

Plant City, FL (Maj 5, 2018) – Unbeaten WBC #13 rated middleweight Yamaguchi Falcao is sick and tired of being avoided.

 

 

 

A Bronze Medalist at the 2012 Olympics representing his native Brazil, Falcao was in Canada last December helping David Lemieux prepare for his fight against WBO 160 pound champion Billy Joe Saunders. Falcao was made aware that middleweight Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan would serve as the televised co-feature for Lemieux-Saunders December 16 u Kanadi.

 

 

 

Upon hearing the news, Falcao and his team immediately offered to fight the more experienced O’Sullivan. The Irishman’s team reportedly did not want to face a southpaw and elected to fight Antoine Douglas. Frustrated but not deterred, Falcao kept training and hoped to face a fighter like O’Sullivan in the near future.

 

 

 

Maja 4, O’Sullivan was again slated as the co-feature for a televised card, this time on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights.

 

 

Hoping the second time would be a charm, Team Falcao made it clear they’d do whatever it took for the opportunity.

 

 

Nažalost, O’Sullivan elected to face Berlin Abreu, a blown up welterweight that hadn’t fought in 18 mjeseci.

 

 

 

To make matters worse, all but once of Abreu’s victories came in the Dominican Republic against opponents with a combined 15-266 rekord. O’Sullivan stopped his overmatched foe in three rounds. Multiple media outlets covering the fight reported it as a disappointing mismatch while noting O’Sullivan needs to face better opposition.

 

 

 

With a professional record of 28-2, O’Sullivan’s rated 5th po WBO, 6th by the WBA and 11thod strane WBC.

 

 

 

Falcao, 15-0 (7 KO-a), believes he’s the superior boxer but hasn’t had the same chances as O’Sullivan and he’s literally willing to fight for the opportunity.

 

 

 

“Spike’s had a lot of favorable opportunities but when he has the chance to take on a tough challenge, he avoids it,” Falcao said from his training camp in Florida. “I twice tried to face him with no questions asked. Both times he refused to face me. I am ranked in the top 15 and you consider yourself a top fighter – why not face me? I’m ready to show the world that I’m an elite middleweight by challenging other top rated 160 pound fighters. My question to you Spike is why did you twice avoid the challenge for easier opponents? I want you to stop running from me – man up and fight me!"

 

 

 

Jody Caliguire, advisor for Team Falcao, has felt the same frustrations as his fighter and none of it has to do with their unwillingness.

 

 

 

“We’re ready for anybody on any platform. Yama has never turned down an opportunity and we’re always putting our name out there. Aside from Spike, we offered to face Demetrius Andrade, Gennady Golovkin, Jason Quigley and Danny Jacobs among others. None of those fights happened. We don’t need to have our record built up – we’re ready to face the best right now!"

Demetrius Andrade to be Ringside at SaundersLemieux Tonight on HBO World Championship Boxing®

ZA immediate release
White Plains, NY/Philadelphia, PA — Neporažen, two-time world champion Demetrius Andrade will be ringside for the WBO World Middleweight Title bout between undefeated champion Billy Joe Saunders and David Lemieux.

“Bog blagoslovio Danny O'Connor. On je šampion. Samo zato što je danas izgubio ovdje, I dalje tip kapu na njega. Potrebno je pravi šampion da dođu ovamo i raditi ono što radi. Želim mu najbolje.
“To je neverovatan osećaj. Istina je, Ja sam bio pobjednik prije nego sam ušao u ring. Ovo se obistiniti san. Sanjao sam o ovom danu za dugo vremena. Napravio sam neke greške u mom prije borbe, ali sam se vratio u tablu za crtanje, otišao u kamp, fiksni moje greške i došli ovdje danas super fokusirani.
Na ono što je on rekao da O'Connor nakon borbe…
“Moja poruka je Danny, nakon moje zadnje borbe, nakon što je moj zadnji gubitka, Ja sam bio dole. Prošao sam kroz depresiju. Rekao sam mu da ne dozvoli da mu se desiti. Da pokupi se nazad, da budemo ponosni na sebe. Da ode kući svojoj prekrasnoj ženi i klinci i uživa u životu. Nisam htio istu stvar da mu se desi, to mi se dogodilo.”

“Nekako sam počela sporo, ali u sredini kruga, Počeo sam stavljam udaraca zajedno, bacanje četiri, pet, šest udaraca u vrijeme i to je radio. Ali on vratio svaki put i počeo trgovanje sa mnom.
(On ide 10 kruga…)
“Sve je to isto. Samo si kao umoran nakon četiri kruga borbe kao što ste nakon šest, eight or 10. You leave it all till the end of the fight. Sve osjeća isto.
(Na bude povređen u 10.….)
“Nisam znao gdje su mi noge. Bio je to čudan osjećaj, Nisam imao pojma kakav je to osecaj. Uhvatio me je i sam mogao vidjeti ravno, ali sam osjetio sam idem lijeve i desne.
He’s a tough guy. I really needed that fight.
We knew he wasn’t much of a volume pincher. It didn’t surprise us when he came on in the middle rounds.
“Krv nije bio u mom oku. Nisam znao da je smanjena dok sudija prišao.
I like to entertain in the ring. I don’t need to do this. I do it because I like to fight and entertain.
This was my favorite venue to fight in as an amateur. I fought here 10-15 puta kao amater.”

“On je bio klizav borac, se kretao i imao je veliku moć. On je bio u sjajnoj formi. On je mlad, Ja ću biti 38 ove godine. Nema opravdanja, Sam se preselio do 126 funte prema njemu, Ja sam 122 funti.
“Mislio sam da sam osvojila posljednje tri runde. Posebno deveti i deseti krug. Desetoj rundi je bila velika. On je možda povezan deset udaraca u cjelini kolu. Ljuljao sam ga. Sam ga povredio. Ali, mi se borimo u rodnom gradu, i ja sam mu zahvalan što si mi priliku.”

Borbe u subotu night will be the first in a career that dates back to his days as a 9-year-old amateur in Ireland where his trainer, father and best friend Patrick Sr. neće biti u njegovom kutu. Patrick Sr., poznatiji kao Paddy, tragično preminuo u proljeće ove godine. Napuštanje irski boks zajednica šokirala.
“Čujem njegov glas u potiljak svaki dan. Svaki dan. Posebno u teretani, iako kad sam trening,” said Hyland Jr.

I challenged Javier Fortuna for the world championship,” said Hyland. “Ja osvojio titulu irski svijetu. Borio sam se u MGM Grand, O2 Areni i Madison Square Garden. Za mene iako, this is the most important fight of my career. Ne samo da se ja borim za moj novorođenog sina, ali ja se borim da bi Legacy mog oca živ. On mi je napravio čovjek koji sam danas i čovjek koji želim da moj sin jednog dana postati. Winning a world title was our dream that we had together. He was always pushing me and my brothers to be the absolute best that we can be, i neću prestati dok ne dobijem još jednu pukotinu na svijetu naslov.”
Borbe u subotu night will be Hyland’s fourth since the lone loss of his career, veoma zabavan 12-okrugli odluku za privremenu titulu pero protiv sada-vladajući super pero prvak Javier Fortuna. Following the loss to Fortuna, Hyland was out of action for a year and a half, dok je poredani kroz promotivne pitanja.

“Imam dobar tim iza mene. Moj menadžer Brian Peters i promotor Lou DiBella naporno rade,” nastavio Hyland. “Dokle god sam i dalje osvojiti i učiniti ono što treba da uradim, Znam da će me dobiti priliku da se dokažem i pokažem da sam ja jedan od najboljih 126-Pounders u svijetu. 2016 će biti velika godina za mene i ja očekujem da još jednom biti izazov za komad pero krune.”

Pogledajte ovdje što učesnici su imali da kažu Srijeda:
DANNY O'CONNOR
“Ovo je sve o meni bore procesu. Gabriel Bracero beat me but I really beat myself. Just like training for this fight, we had a baby son. Two weeks before our first fight, my first son was born and I didn’t know how to separate sport from such life-changing events. Bio sam 14-0 i bore na Showtime. We just had a baby boy two weeks before this fight. I want to prove to myself that I can beat this process. Bracero is my redemption!
“Ova borba je mene vs. me. The time was right for this fight. I was offered this fight five times during the past few years but the time wasn’t right.
I was a scared little kid with no experience in our first fight. I couldn’t handle the pressure, I didn’t even know it was there. Sada, I’m a mature man who is a husband and father. I’m a totally different person.
This fight could be in my living room. I’m at peace in the ring doing what I love to do. It’s great being back in the ring in Lowell, gdje sam osvojio New England Golden Gloves naslov i Borim se na nacionalnoj televiziji, ali događaj je između četiri ugla i to je ono što je zaista bitno.”
GABRIEL Bracero
“Uzbuđen sam. I’ve trained for this fight like I’ve never fought Danny before. I beat him but that was four years ago. I can’t overlook him. He has obviously made improvements and I did also to get where we are today.
“Ja sam iskusniji. I moved to train in Orlando and get away from distractions. I hit a few bumps and got incarcerated. Tommy Gallagher (trener) saved my lie. He was there when I went to prison and there when I got out. I added a new trainer to our corner, Alexander Lopes, ali Tommy i moj otac, Kiro, are still there. Tommy gives the orders and he likes what Lopez has done with me.
Tommy Gallagher is my guardian angel. He believed in me more than I believed in myself. He had this vision before I did.
Danny has become a better fighter. Ne mogu ništa se od njega, ali ja se radujem stavljanje na spektakularnim nastupom Subota noći.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN
“Ja ću učiniti ga 20-za-20, da! I’m powerful because I make strong moves. My left hook is my best punch. Ja mogu osjetiti snagu kroz celo telo kad sam udario neko pravo.
“Ja ne brini moj protivnik ili ono što je uradio u prošlosti.
Lawrence is my home now. I will go back to the Dominican Republic in December for the holidays. I feel like a Bostonian. This is the sixth fight I’ve trained here for and I love the Boston Red Sox.
DANNY AQUINO
“Moj zadnji borba mene ručni (uznemireni odlukom nad Ryan Kielczweski). It made me more confident in myself. Moj zadnji borba je bila na ESPN-u, a ovaj je na NBCSN.
I don’t know too much about my opponent other than he has power that I’ll be looking out for. A win over him should put me in the top 10 i to je razlog zašto sam tako motivirani za ovu borbu.
“Osvojila sam New England Golden Gloves prvenstvo u Lowell Memorial Auditorium u 2007.
“Treniram naporno i ja sam uvijek u dovoljno dobrom stanju da pobedi bilo koga.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI
I like fighting at home and this is one of my favorite venues. I won the New England Golden Gloves there twice.
“Trenirao sam za to da se najteži borba moje karijere.
“(Vasquez) is tough with a lot of power. He’s going come forward, ali ja ću biti u mogućnosti da od njega-box.
“On je ocijenio u vrhu 10 svijeta i pobjeda treba da stavi me u vrhu 10 bori za titulu svjetskog prvaka u narednih godinu dana.”
RAFAEL VASQUEZ
“Ovo je velika prilika za mene. I think this fight will put me on the map fighting on national TV and showing fans what I’ve got.
“Ja sam gladan, small fighter determined to win. I fight for my wife, Sandra, koji ima stage-četiri raka i moja osam-godišnju kćerku, Kaline, who has autism. It’s not just me fighting in the ring, it’s the Vasquez family. With God’s grace, sve je moguće.
“Ryan kreće puno. He uses the ring and boxes. He lost to Aquino and I know he’ll be coming back to prove himself. “
GARY “SPIKE” O'SULLIVAN
Boston is my second home. I love it here. The people are so nice and there are good gyms.
“Ja sam uzbudljiv, zabavne borac koji je uvijek u pitanju borba.
“Nakon što sam završim Eubanks, Ja ću biti broj. 1 kandidat u WBA i Golovkin ne mogu držati me bilo više.
I watched a few clips of my opponent. We have identical records. We both knock people out, so I have to be careful. I’d like to get in a few rounds, ali kad sam pogodio ljudi, oni padaju.”
STEPHEN ORMOND
My first four fights were here in the US. Boston is like my second home. The people are so nice. Boston is a real fight city. I can’t wait for these people to see me in the ring.
I saw my opponent fight last year in Boston. He’s an experienced guy with a lot of fights. He fought for a world title a long time ago.
“Sa Ken Casey iza mene, an impressive victory will get me a title shot. I’ll take any of them. Ja sam bio jedan borba daleko, losing a qualifier. My grandmother passed away the day of my fight. I’m ready now!”
