From Foxwoods Resort Casino – 8 п.м. И/5 п.м. ПТ
Масхантуцкет, ЦТ (Јул 19, 2016) — Connecticut may not have equal status with New York City or Las Vegas in terms of being a fight capital, but the Nutmeg State has produced five Hall-of-Famers with Foxwoods Resort Casino, located in Mashantucket, ЦТ, hosting many of the sport’s greatest fighters and fights over the past two decades.
The tradition continues on Четвртак, Јул 21, as rising middleweight contender Sergiy “The Technician” Деревианцхенко (8-0, 6 КОс) faces former world champion Ам “Краљ” Солиман (44-13, 18 КОс) у 10-кола главну манифестацију Премиер Бокс шампиона о ЕСПН & ЕСПН.

Connecticut’s all-time greatest boxer is the late Willie “Will ‘o the Wisp” Pep (229-11-1, 65 КОс), who was born in Middletown and lived in Rocky Hill. Pep, who fought professionally between 1940 и 1966, was a two-time world featherweight champion who had an epic rivalry with Сенди Саддлер.
Other Hall-of-Famers from Connecticut are world heavyweight champion (1926-28)Gene “The Fighting Marine” Tunney (65-1-1, 48 КОс), of Greenwich, who defeated the legendary Јацк Демпсеи двапут; Ukrainian-born world featherweight (1925) титлист Луис “Клинац” Kaplan (108-22-12, 72 КОс), from Meriden; world light heavyweight champion (1933) “Slapsie” Макси Росенблоом (222-42-31, 2 НЦ, 19 КОс), of Leonard Bridge; world light heavyweight titleholder (1926-27) Утичница “Bright Eyes” Delaney (73-11-2, 43 КОс), who was born in Canada but lived in Bridgeport.
Over the year, many other Connecticut fighters have made an impact on the sport including Hartford’s NBA featherweight champion Battling Battalino (57-26-3, 26 КОс), who was the first world champion to lose his title on the scale, Hartford’s two-time world welterweight titlist марлон “Магиц Ман” Starling (45-6-12, 27 КОс), Norwalk’s WBA junior middleweight champion “Tremendous” Травис Симмс (28-1, 21 КОс), New Haven’s three-time world light heavyweight champion “Лоше” Чад Досон (33-4, 18 КОс) and world welterweight contender Gaspar “El Indio” Ortega (131-29-6, 69 КОс), Stamford’s world No. 1-rangiran u velter kategoriji Chico Vejar (92-20-4, 43 КОс), and Bloomfield’s 1996 Olympic Team USA captain Лоренс Глина-бег (21-3-1, 16 КОс).
The No. 1 Foxwoods fight of all-time, held on April 16, 2011, was also promoted by DiBella Entertainment, and was selected as the 2011 Ring Magazine and BWAA Fight of the Year. Defending champion Андре Берто (27-0) и Цхалленгер Виктор Ортиз (28-2-2) battled for 12 метака, each getting dropped twice, with Ortiz winning a hard-fought decision (114-111, 114-112, 115-110) for the WBC welterweight title.
A close second place is the 2003 BWAA Fight of the Year, in which future Hall-of-FamerЈамес Тонеи (65-4-2) won a 12-round decision over reigning IBF cruiserweight champion Вассилии Јиров. The action started days earlier at the pre-fight press conference when a skirmish erupted as tables were overturned and glasses thrown. The animosity continued between the two fighters and their respective camps right up to the final bell. Previously undefeated, Јиров (31-0) started fast but faded, getting decked in the final round.

Paz had a 13-3 record at Foxwoods, highlighted by his 1998 decision over Glenwood Brown and his 50тхcareer win in his retirement fight against Tocker Pudwill у 2004. Oliveira was only 6-7-1 fighting at Foxwoods, but he faced nothing but iron and he did defeat a world champion, Vince Phillips, у свом 2000 non-title fight that produced the second-most total punches (2,989) recorded at that time.
Brazilian boxing fans always turned out in force when countryman Ацелино “Пикавац” Фреитас fought at Foxwoods, primarily because of the large Brazilian community in Connecticut. Freitas fought there four times, all in lightweight world title fights, победившиЗахир Рахим и Artur Grigorian и губи се Јуан Диаз и Дијего Цорралес.
