Boston (Februar 4, 2019):



Murphys Boxing is proud to announce their 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash vil finne sted på Lørdag, March 16th igjen i House of Blues i Boston.


Headlining the stacked card will be Whitman, Massachusetts’ 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 nå, 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. Patricks Day, DeLuca is well aware that it isn’t the average boxing card.


“St. Patricks Day. Boston. Dropkick Murphys. What more can you say? The atmosphere is electric.”


I 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, Massachusetts’ Khiary Gray (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 Gylne 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 ganger.


“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 see… a 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 i WBA) and is fresh off a national television appearance last year when he beat the previously undefeated, Alvin Varmall, Jr. på 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, Massachusetts’ favorite son, Travis Mazac Gambardella (5-0-2, 2 KOs), who trains out of the popular, KnuckleHeadz Gym in Ventura, California, will return home to try and extend his undefeated record against fellow Boston area fighter, Maceo Crowder (2-2, 1 KO) i 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, Irlands John Joyce (7-0, 4 KOs) travels to America to take on Cork, Irlands 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, Massachusetts’ Bruno Dias (0-5) i 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 special “in ring” acoustic performance by The Dropkick Murphys. Billetter er i salg nå på:

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

Legg igjen en kommentar

 

Yama vs Spike.jpeg

Plant City, FL (Mai 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 i Canada.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

Mai 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.

 

 

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

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

Med en profesjonell oversikt over 28-2, O’Sullivan’s rated 5th av WBO, 6th by the WBA and 11thav WBC.

 

 

 

Falcao, 15-0 (7 KO s), 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!"

LOWELL, Mass.

Bracero, som ga O'Connor sin første pro tap for fire år siden, brukt en overhand rett at O'Connor, bekjempelse av nærheten Framingham (MA) did not see coming. O’Connor was out cold before he hit the mat.
“Jeg jobbet på det slag i seks uker,” Bracero said after the fight. “I min siste kamp, I fought a southpaw and made some mistakes. I specifically worked on that punch because Danny’s a southpaw. I slipped to the side and threw the right. This was the first time I went away to camp, borte fra familien min.
“Jeg er bare så ydmyk og takknemlig. Jeg visste kommer inn her at alt presset var på ham (O'Connor); publikum ville prøve å ta dyret ut av meg og satte meg på forsvaret.
Alt kommer til å trene (angående hans neste kamp). I’ll let Tommy Gallagher ogLou DiBella take care of my next fight. I’m ready to go right back in the gym.”
O'Connor ble tatt med ambulanse til nærliggende Lowell General Hospital for observasjon.
Hjemby helten “Irish” Micky Ward og National Hockey League Hall-of-Fame NBCSN analytiker “Sukker” Ray Leonard tilbake til samme bygning som fanget han en National Golden Gloves Tournament tittelen i 1973.
Ubeseiret dominikanske super bantamvekt KO artist Jonathan “Salomon kong” Guzman (20-0, 20 KOs), bekjempelse av nærheten Lawrence (MA), gjorde det en perfekt 20 kamper, 20 KO vinner via en niende-runde stans av et spill Danny Aquino (17-3, 10 KOs) i 10-round co-funksjonen.
Guzman droppet Aquino, en meksikansk opprinnelig kamp ut av Connecticut, i den andre runden. The badly hurt Aquino, men, lasted until the ninth round when Guzman ended the show with a brutal left hook. Aquino, en annen New England Golden Gloves mester som vant tittelen sin i denne svært bygning, hadde aldri blitt stoppet som en profesjonell.
Quincy (MA) fjærvekt Ryan “Den polske Prince” Kielczweski (24-1, 7 KOs), som vant to New England Golden Gloves mesterskap på Lowell Memorial Auditorium, vant en 10-runde, hardt kjempet avgjørelse i løpet av Brooklyn Rafael “Dynamitt” Vazquez (16-2, 13 KOs).

FIGHTER SITATER
GABRIEL Bracero:
“Gud velsigne Danny O'Connor. Han er en mester. Bare fordi han tapte her i dag, Jeg fortsatt tipset meg hatten for ham. Det tar en ekte mester til å komme inn her og gjøre det han gjør. Jeg ønsker ham det beste.
“Det er en utrolig følelse. Sannheten er, Jeg var en vinner før jeg gikk i ringen. Dette er en drøm som går i oppfyllelse. Jeg har drømt om denne dagen i lang tid. Jeg gjorde noen feil i mine tidligere kamper, men jeg gikk tilbake til tegnebrettet, gikk til leiren, fast mine feil og kom inn her super fokusert i dag.
På hva han sa til O'Connor etter kampen…
“Mitt budskap til Danny var, etter min siste kamp, etter min siste tap, Jeg var nede. Jeg gikk gjennom en depresjon. Jeg fortalte ham ikke å la det skje med ham. Å plukke seg opp igjen, å være stolt av seg selv. Å dra hjem til sin vakre kone og barn og nyte livet. Jeg ville ikke at det samme skal skje med ham, som skjedde med meg.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN:
“Jeg viste at jeg kan kjempe, og jeg kan sparke. Denne kampen var et eksempel på hva jeg kan gjøre.
“Fra den andre runden jeg kjempet med to såre hender. Det gjorde ikke saken til hendene mine, Jeg hadde tenkt å stoppe ham.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI:
“Før denne kampen, Jeg visste at han kunne slå. Jeg trodde jeg unngått det for hele kampen, men i det 10. runde, han fikk meg. Det føltes ganske godt å bli rystet for første gang, bare vite hvordan det føles.”
“Jeg slags startet av treg, Men midt runder, Jeg begynte å sette mine slag sammen, kaste fire, five, seks slag om gangen og det var i arbeid. Men han kom tilbake hver gang og begynte å handle med meg.
(På kommer 10 runder…)
“Det er det samme. Du er bare så sliten etter en fire-runde kampen som du er etter seks, eight or 10. You leave it all till the end of the fight. Det hele føles det samme.
(På få vondt i det 10.….)
“Jeg visste ikke hvor mine føtter var. Det var en merkelig følelse, Jeg hadde ingen anelse om hva som føltes som. Han fanget meg, og jeg kunne se rett, men jeg følte meg selv gå til venstre og høyre.
“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.
“Blodet var ikke i mine øyne. Jeg visste ikke at jeg ble kuttet før dommeren kom bort.
“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 ganger som en amatør.”
RAFAEL VAZQUEZ:
“Han var en sleip fighter, han flyttet og han hadde stor makt. Han var i god form. Han er ung, Jeg vil være 38 i år. Ingen unnskyldning, Jeg flyttet opp til 126 pounds til å møte ham, Jeg er 122 pounds.
“Jeg trodde jeg hadde vunnet de tre siste rundene. Spesielt den niende og tiende runde. Den tiende runden var stor. Han kanskje koblet ti slag i hele runden. Jeg vugget ham. Jeg såret ham. Men, vi slåss i hjembyen, og jeg er takknemlig til ham for å gi meg muligheten.”

LOWELL, Mass. (10/9/15) – På lørdag natt, Irish verdens vurdert kandidat Patrick Hyland (30-1, 14 KOs) faces David Martinez on the undercard of the PBC on NBCSN event from Lowell, Mass. The fight won’t be shown on television, Hyland ser dette er den viktigste kampen i karrieren der han jobber seg tilbake i VM-tittel contention.
Den bout på lørdag 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. vil ikke være i hans hjørne. Patrick Sr., bedre kjent som Paddy, tragisk gikk bort i løpet av våren i år. Forlater den irske bokse samfunnet sjokkert.
“Jeg hører stemmen hans på baksiden av hodet mitt hver dag. Hver dag. Spesielt i gym selv når jeg er trening,” said Hyland Jr.
Tapet av Hyland far kom bare uker før Hyland kone Lorna fødte sitt første barn, Callum, videre legge til betydningen av denne kampen.
“I challenged Javier Fortuna for the world championship,” said Hyland. “Jeg vant den irske VM-tittel. Jeg har kjempet på MGM Grand, O2 Arena og Madison Square Garden. For meg selv, this is the most important fight of my career. Ikke bare er jeg kjemper for min nyfødte sønn, men jeg kjemper for å holde min fars arv i live. Han gjorde meg til den mannen som jeg er i dag, og mannen som jeg vil at min sønn til å en dag bli. 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, og jeg vil ikke stoppe før jeg får en sprekk på en VM-tittel.”
Den bout på lørdag night will be Hyland’s fourth since the lone loss of his career, en svært underholdende 12-runde avgjørelse for den midlertidige fjærvekt tittelen mot nå regjerende super fjærvekt mester Javier Fortuna. Following the loss to Fortuna, Hyland was out of action for a year and a half, som han sorterte gjennom salgsfremmende saker. Hyland signert med DiBella Entertainment i juni 2014 and has since put together three impressive victories. Hyland believes that he will be knocking on the door to challenge for another world title in 2016.
“Jeg har et flott team bak meg. Sjefen min Brian Peters og promoter Lou DiBella jobber hardt,” fortsatte Hyland. “Så lenge jeg fortsetter å vinne og gjøre det jeg må gjøre, Jeg vet at de vil få meg muligheten til å bevise meg selv og vise at jeg er en av de beste 126-pounders i verden. 2016 kommer til å bli et stort år for meg og jeg fullt forventer å igjen være utfordrende for en del av fjærvekt krone.”

Se her hva deltakerne hadde å si Onsdag:
DANNY O'CONNOR
“Dette handler om meg kjempe prosessen. 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. Jeg var 14-0 og kjemper på 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!
“Denne kampen er meg vs. meg. 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. Nå, 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, hvor jeg vant New England Golden Gloves tittel og jeg kjemper på nasjonal TV, men hendelsen er mellom de fire hjørnene og det er det som virkelig teller.”
GABRIEL Bracero
“Jeg er spent. 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.
“Jeg er mer erfaren. 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, men Tommy og min far, 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. Jeg kan ikke ta noe bort fra ham, men jeg gleder meg til å sette på en spektakulær ytelse Lørdag natt.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN
“Jeg kommer til å gjøre det 20-for-20, ja! I’m powerful because I make strong moves. My left hook is my best punch. Jeg kan føle kraften gjennom hele kroppen min når jeg treffer noen rett.
“Jeg trenger ikke bekymre deg min motstander eller hva han har gjort i det siste.
“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
“Min siste kamp Gående meg (opprørt av avgjørelsen i løpet av Ryan Kielczweski). It made me more confident in myself. Min siste kampen var på ESPN og dette er på 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 og det er derfor jeg er så motivert for denne kampen.
“Jeg vant New England Golden Gloves mesterskapet i Lowell Memorial Auditorium i 2007.
“Jeg trener hardt, og jeg er alltid i god nok form til å slå hvem som helst.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI
“I like fighting at home and this is one of my favorite venues. I won the New England Golden Gloves there twice.
“Jeg har trent for dette å være den tøffeste kampen i min karriere.
“(Vasquez) is tough with a lot of power. He’s going come forward, men jeg vil være i stand til å ut-boksen ham.
“Han rangert på topp 10 av verden og en seier bør sette meg tilbake i toppen 10 kjemper for en verden tittel i løpet av neste år.”
RAFAEL Vasquez
“Dette er en stor mulighet for meg. I think this fight will put me on the map fighting on national TV and showing fans what I’ve got.
“Jeg er en sulten, small fighter determined to win. I fight for my wife, Sandra, som har stadium fire kreft og min åtte år gamle datter, Kaline, who has autism. It’s not just me fighting in the ring, it’s the Vasquez family. With God’s grace, alt er mulig.
“Ryan flytter mye. 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.
“Jeg er en spennende, underhold fighter som alltid kommer til å kjempe.
“Etter at jeg fullbyrde Eubanks, Jeg skal være den Nei. 1 utfordrer i WBA og Golovkin kan ikke holde meg lenger.
“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, men når jeg treffer folk, de faller.”
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.
“Med Ken Casey bak meg, an impressive victory will get me a title shot. I’ll take any of them. Jeg var en kamp unna, losing a qualifier. My grandmother passed away the day of my fight. I’m ready now!”

O'Connorwill være søker hevn for 2011 tap for Braceroin 10-runde main event, mens Kielczweski vender den tøffeste test av sin karriere versus Vasquez i sin 10-runde bout å åpne NBCSN sendingen på 8 pm. OG/5 pm. PT.
I den andre planlagte TV-kamp, ubeseiret dominikanske super bantamvekt KO artistJonathan “Salomon kong” Guzman (19-0, 19 KOs), bekjempelse av nærheten Lawrence (MA), tar på Connecticuts opprørt-minded Danny Aquino (17-2, 10 KOs) i 10-round co-funksjonen.
Boston vs. New York er et klassisk matchup som har dominert sport overskrifter i nordøst i år som New York Yankees og Boston Red Sox utkjempet utallige kriger mens New England Patriots møter New York Giants i to Super Bowls og fortsatte sin mangeårige rivalisering med nye York Jets. Den rike tradisjon for denne rivaliseringen har også spilt inn i ringen så mange topp krigere fra hver region har møtt-off i løpet av årene.
Den første betydelige Boston vs. NYC kampen går tilbake til 1927 på Yankee Stadium, når Jack Dempsey stoppet Jekk “The Boston Gob” Sharkey i den syvende runden av sin tungvektstittelen eliminator å utfordre verdensmesteren Gene Tunney. Controversy surrounded this fight as Sharkey, en sjømann i US-. Navy, kjempet seg boksing idol, Dempsey, som sammen med Babe Ruth ruled Manhattan during America’s Golden Age of Sports in the 1920s. Sharkey out-boxed Dempsey for six rounds until, klagde til dommeren om Dempsey lave slag, Han ble slått ut kald med et bilde-perfekt venstre hook.
En annen legendarisk tungvekt fra Boston-området, Rocky Marciano, ville ikke ha pensjonert med sin berømte 49-0 record if one round or another were scored differently against Bronx favorite Roland LaStarza in 1950. Marciano took a questionable 10-round decision from LaStarza at Madison Square Garden. Tre år senere på Polo Grounds, Marciano forsvarte sin VM-tittel, slå ut LaStarza i 11thrunde av deres 1953 Fight of the Year.
Et par av Hall of Fame tungvektere fra Brooklyn, Floyd Patterson og “Iron” Mike Tyson, henholdsvis, slått ut Boston Tom McNeeley og hans sønn, Peter McNeeley. McNeeley dropped Patterson once but he hit the deck 11 ganger før endelig gi etter i den fjerde runden av deres 1961 title fight in Toronto. His son, Peter, tapt ved første runde diskvalifikasjon til Tyson som kjempet for den første siden de ble løslatt fra fengsel.
En brannmann fra Boston med sprø hender, Paul Pender, to ganger beseiret uten tvil den konsensus Greatest of All-time, Harlems “Sukker” Ray Robinson, ikke en gang men to ganger med 15-runde delt avgjørelser i 1960 verden mellomvekt tittel kamper på Boston Hage.
“Marvelous” Marvin Hagler, en transplantert New Jersey fighter som levde i Marciano hjemby Brockton, Mass., følte meg lurt da han fikk uavgjort i sin første VM-tittel kamp mot Brooklyn regjerende mester Vito Antuofermo i Las Vegas. To år senere i 1981, Hagler fanget den ettertraktede kronen på Boston hage som Antuofermo pensjonert etter fire runder.
Selv Lowells “Irish” Micky Ward hadde en New York by rival i Brooklyn Zab Judah, who he dropped a hard-fought 12-round decision to in 1998. For many years Judah said Ward was the toughest opponent he ever fought.
Mer nylig, Irish Olympian Kevin McBride, kjemper seg ut av Dorchester i Boston, endte Tyson karriere i 2005 med en sjette runde TKO seier som forlot boksing verden i sjokk, og Boston tungvekt John Ruiz – den eneste Latino tungvekt av verden – vant en 2008 kjempe i Mexico mot Harlems Jameel McCline med 12-runde avgjørelse i en VM-tittel eliminator.
På Oktober 10, O'Connor, Bracero, Kielczweski og Vazquez vil ha sin mulighet til å ikke bare representere sine hjembyer, men å etse seg inn i Annals of rivaliseringen.
