Boxing fans packed the Manchester Downtown Hotel Wednesday night to take in a spectacular night of elite amateur boxing. This was the final stop on a three-city tour of Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts and Manchester, New Hampshire. The scheduled fights featured Team USA amateurs facing the best amateur boxers from Ireland. By the final bell, Ireland managed to finish the eight bouts of the evening with a tie score, their best outcome of the tour. Team USA won the first two duals of the tour in Boston and Springfield, příslušně, podle skóre 8-4 a 7-3.

 

Wednesday’s fights were not all about winning, nicméně. Pro většinu zúčastněných boxerů to byla skvělá příležitost k vyladění jejich technik a získání potřebných zkušeností z mezinárodních soutěží. Někteří z nejlepších interpretů středeční noci budou pravděpodobně v nadcházejícím období zastupovat své země 2020 Olympijské hry.

 

 

Hlavní událost noci představovala 2016 Bronzový medailista z mistrovství světa mládeže Richard Torrez dominující trojnásobnému irskému národnímu šampionovi Deanovi Gardinerovi. Výška a dlouhý dosah irského bojovníka prostě nemohly překonat rychlé tempo a vynikající obrannou pozici kratšího Američana.

 

Torrez strávil první kolo mistrovským fintováním a úderem, zatímco skóroval pomocí několika bombardovacích háků. Torrez změnil úrovně, použitý úhledný pohyb hlavy, a nikdy neopustil nohu z plynu, jak se Gardiner v rané fázi hnal vpřed s nevyváženým a divokým přístupem. V první se Ir spojil s úderem těla, ale nic jiného.

 

Torrez udržel rychlou pracovní rychlost v dalším snímku, rozpoutání levého a pravého háku a čisté přistání po většinu kola. Snadno skóroval do těla a hlavy, ačkoli velká část kola viděla, jak se jeho protivník kryje a čeká na otvory. Jeden rovně vlevo od Torreze poslal svého protivníka na okamžik k navíjení, ale vyšší muž se vzpamatoval a přistál fenomenální levý hák na hlavu Torreze, když bojoval z provazů. Gardiner se pokusil přistát většinou přímé údery na vnější stranu a zdálo se, že není schopen své údery zblízka otočit.

Třetí kolo vidělo, jak to oba bojovníci tloukli až do závěrečného zvonu s jednou z nejdivočejších směn noci a noci, ale pro Gardinera bylo příliš málo a příliš pozdě. Prostě nemohl vytočit svůj rozsah. Torrez svého oponenta jen přepracoval a přistál s několika úhlednými háky, aby mohl vyrazit svými bušícími pravými a levými háky. Úder používal střídmě, ale efektivně, utrácí většinu finálního rámce za cílení na Gardinerovo tělo. Torrez si svým výkonem vysloužil vítězství v jednomyslném rozhodnutí a v tomto procesu nepřijal více než hrst tvrdých střel.

 

Kelly Harrington, stříbrný medailista z Irska, pravděpodobně měla nejchytřejší výkon svého týmu při plavbě k jednomyslnému rozhodnutí vítězství nad Stacia Suttles v úvodním zápase noci. Suttles se snažila udržet si ideální děrovací rozsah proti neutuchajícímu útoku Harringtona v prvním kole, trávila většinu tří minut houpáním a tkáním, aby se pokusila vyhnout ostrým kombinacím svého protivníka. Suttlesová přistála její úder docela důsledně, a začala dávat dohromady několik kombinací pozdě v kole, ale Harrington je absolutní odborník, pokud jde o pohyb hlavy. Vypadala, jako by Floyd Mayweather, Jr. byl jedním z jejích trenérů, protože používala techniku ​​nízkých rukou s neustálými fintami, proklouznutí úderu a změna úrovně. První kolo ji vidělo přistát krásnou rovnou zleva k hlavě a fantastickou kombinací těla a hlavy, která pevně přistála. Uvolnila několik divokých háků, ačkoli několik z nich bylo divokých senátorů. Níže je obrázek Harringtona během jednoho z několika krátkých okamžiků boje, kdy zvedla obě ruce, aby si chránila obličej.

Suttles ve druhém kole zachytil Harringtona několika pohledy a flush výstřely, ale zdálo se, že má potíže sehnat moc za svými údery. Se svým soupeřem vyměnila pár slušných pravých rukou, ale na konci kola bylo jasné, že kvůli řemeslnosti svého soupeře prostě nebude schopna najít v boji žádný rytmus. Harrington strávila stejné kolo zdokonalováním svého sortimentu 1-2 kombinace kombinací a práv divokého olova. Harrington také o několik okamžiků později zaznamenal několik silných levých háků s dokonalým obrázkem rovného pravého přistání.
Třetí kolo bylo více stejné pro oba bojovníky. Suttles pracoval hodně z rámu, aby sledoval svého soupeře, ale pokaždé, když vyložila, zaplatila za to. Jeden obzvláště pevný levý hák přistál pozdě v kole, ale to nestačilo. Harrington strávil většinu posledních tří minut pokusem spojit se s pravými křídly. Později v kole přistála s jedním ze svých nejtvrdších úderů boje a na okamžik omráčila svého soupeře před zvonem, aby boj ukončil. Harrington si vzal jednomyslné rozhodnutí a vypadá, že je jedním z nejslibnějších boxerů na svou váhu v boji o 2020 Olympijské hry.
V dalším ženském boji na kartě hrál roli další příklad toho, že nějaká nevýhoda byla nějaká nevýhoda. Tým USA Leah Cooper (#2 Americká žena střední váhy) vyhýbal se a předstíral, aby se vyhnul dlouhému dosahu vyššího Aoife Burke. Cooper bojoval z polokrku, takže bylo pro Burke těžké přistát s jakoukoli významnou silou na většině jejích úderů. Osmnásobný národní irský šampion
měla v boji několik míst, kde znovu získala kontrolu nad akcí, ale Cooper provedl správné úpravy, aby minimalizoval hrozby.
Cooper zahájil rojový útok a zahájil první kolo, vystřelit 1-2 komba a zálohování Burke. Po celou dobu zůstávala trpělivá a vytrvalá, zůstat nízko a mimo dosah výstřelů Burke. Burke vykazoval vynikající obranu, ale dokázala házet a přistávat jen po jednom úderu. Během celého kola předváděla ostrý úder, ale Coopera to prostě neodradilo. Burke měla nejlepší okamžiky kola směrem k závěrečnému zvonu, míchání střel do těla a hlavy, včetně tvrdého pravého háku na hlavu.
Burke vyšel na druhé kolo v plamenech, zaútočit na Coopera rychlou palbou 1-2 komba a háčky. Také se mísila v úhledném háku, který našel Cooperovu bradu. Cooper bouři přečkal, jen krátce padl do pasti. Znovu získala klid, přistál několik vynikajících protiběžných úderů, a to, co mohlo být Burkeovým nejlepším kolem, se stalo nejhorším pro irského šampiona. Cooper zůstal klidný a chladný, navzdory tomu, že udělala některé z nejtvrdších střel, její soupeř v boji přistál. Přistála skvěle 1-2 komba po Burkeově útoku zmizela, nakonec otevřel ránu poblíž Burkeho levého oka a zakrvácel jí nos. Cooperův tvrdý úder na tělo také způsobil, že se Burke krátce přikrčil na plátno po pevném pravém háku.
Burke zahájil třetí kolo trochu pozdě poté, co se nechal odhlásit a vyčistit lékařem z ringu. Znovu začala s přívalem bombardovacích úderů. Zamířila na tělo a hlavu, ale Cooper se znovu shromáždil a vrátil se do práce. Dobře změnila úrovně a začala se spojovat s rozzuřenými háčky, nejprve k tělu a potom zpět k hlavě. Také pokračovala v aktivním úderu a přistála několikrát 1-2 komba. Burke v závěrečných okamžicích boje zvládl další pozdní nával, ale Cooper stále odešel s jednomyslným vítězstvím rozhodnutí.
Tým USA Lightweight James Browning přišel do zápasu ve středu večer s irským Francisem Clearym jako dvojnásobným šampiónem USA v boxu. Cleary, devítinásobný irský národní šampion, představoval Browningův první trhák na mezinárodní soutěži. Oba bojovníci měli své chvíle, ale bylo by to, že by Browning vyhrál na konci tří zábavných, sem a tam akce.
Browning strávil první kolo stanovením vyšší pracovní rychlosti než jeho protivník a spoustou pohybu, aby se vyhnul útoku Clearyho. Rovněž přistál důsledně, míchání jeho těla a hlavy střel dobře. Ačkoli vyhrál kolo, Browning vzal spoustu rizik a zaplatil za to. Cleary si vybral jeho skvrny a uvolnil čistší a silnější údery, když byl schopen přistát. Prostě se nemohl dostatečně připojit, a téměř z pokaždé, když skončil v těsné blízkosti, se dostal z potíží.
Do druhého snímku jasně dopadly další ostré bomby, začíná být agresivnější a začíná sledovat svého neustále se pohybujícího soupeře. Tlukot levého háku na konci kola se spojil s Browningovou hlavou a zapůsobil na nabitý dům fanoušků. Stále, Browning zůstal zaneprázdněn a vedl si dobře při tloucicích výměnách mezi dvěma bojovníky. Byl často divoký, ale pracovní výkon zabránil Clearymu v krádeži kola.
Cleary vyšel do třetího kola s obnovenou dravostí, zapojit se do divoké rvačky s Browningem. Bylo to nejlepší kolo boje o Clearyho, a Browning nedokázal udržet nepolapitelnost, kterou předvedl v předchozích kolech. Irská stíhačka přistála v kole další vzkvétající levý hák, představoval perfektně načasované čítače, a pořád praštil až ke zvonu. Na konci boje se Browning rozhodně zdál frustrovaný a unavený. Stále, dva ze tří soudců si byli jisti, že si výhru zaslouží, vydělávat rozdělené rozhodnutí vítězství.
Příští zápas postavil osminásobného irského národního šampiona Wayna Kelleyho proti třináctinásobnému americkému národnímu šampionovi Adrianovi Bentonovi v těsné bitvě welterové váhy. Oba mladí bojovníci měli v zápase světlá místa, ale Kelleymu se podařilo chytře vyděsit vítězství v rozhodnutí o rozdělení, odvážné úsilí.
Benton měl lepší první kolo díky rojovému útoku. He worked in and out of range with 1-2 combos and sparing hooks. He used all his angles well, pivoting out of trouble and into effective range with ease. Kelley struggled to land counters until the final moments of the round when he landed his own flurry of 1-2 komba.
Kelley started the second round with much more energy and poise. He landed early and often, winging left hands and opening up a cut on Benton’s lip. Benton slipped some of the more dangerous punches, blocked shots well and landed some crisp, hard shots of his own. His best exchange was a left and right hook to the head that landed near the middle of the round.
Kelley slowed down a bit in the final round, unable to find his ideal range. He landed some hard right hands, a well-placed body shot and unloaded with a late flurry. Benton kept busy early in the round and artfully ducked under a bombing right hook from Kelley. The judges seemed more impressed with Kelley’s composure in the final two rounds as Benton kept getting drawn in to sloppy brawling. Kelley edged out the win by a 2-1 margin.
The light welterweights came next, producing another tight contest. Ireland’s Caoimhin Ferguson fought Team USA’s Charlie Sheehy with a slightly better tactical approach, earning another split decision victory for his squad.
Sheehy took on a more cautious and patient approach in the first round, waiting for the perfect moment to throw and land. His best punches of the round included a hard right hand to the body and a starching jab. Ferguson put in more work in the frame, scoring on multiple hooks to the head and unleashing wild and crazy flurries a few times. One particular left hook crashed hard into Sheehy’s head in the final moments of the round.
Ferguson landed some decent shots in the second round, but Sheehy was much more composed. He worked around the wild-swinging, hard-charging assault by keeping his distance and scoring from outside with some crisp rights to the chin. The fighters exchanged some hooks to the body and wound up in a clinch before the end of the round.
Sheehy struggled to string punches together in the final round. Though he had a nice straight right hand working for him, Ferguson was able to penetrate his defense. Ferguson landed a thumping left hook early and went on to land a few more bombs before losing his mouthpiece in one exchange. Likely knowing he needed to finish strong to get the judges on his side, Ferguson rushed in with a final torrent of hooks in the final seconds. He earned a 2-1 decision win for his tenacity.
Welterweights Kieron Molloy (Irsko) and Freudis Rojas, Jr. (Spojené státy americké) squared off in another bout. Both fighters are previous World Championship Bronze Medalists with Molloy also claiming nine Irish National titles and Rojas winning the US nationals 10 times so far. It was another close shave win for Team Ireland.
Rojas was clearly the more active fighter in the first round. He used a consistent jab and increased his work rate through the frame. He ket busy on offense right up until the bell. Molloy began the round winging shots and trying to figure out his range. He unleashed a bit late in some of the more fierce exchanges, couldn’t figure out how to get his combinations going, and had a tough time catching up with the faster Rojas. Molloy did land some excellent straight lefts, ačkoli.
The next round went much better for the Irish southpaw. He started with an uptick in his punch output, though he still struggled to land combos. At one point in the round, Molloy connected with a huge straight left, followed up by a nice power jab, slowing down his opponent. Rojas kept coming forward but couldn’t capitalize on scoring opportunities in the round. A late flurry of punches from Rojas wasn’t enough for him to steal the round.
Rojas landed some excellent shots in the final round, going downstairs to the body frequently. He also caught Molloy against the ropes, blasting him with straight punches. Molloy fought the smarter round, ačkoli, picking the best times to throw and often catching Rojas with his hands down. His best exchange of the round featured a huge 1-2 connecting to the head and a wild left hook to the head. A final swarm of punches from the Irish fighter closed the show and earned him a 2-1 split decision win.
Team USA’s Nikita Ababiy scored a hard-fought win in a wild affair before the main event with Team Ireland’s Gerard French. The first round saw Ababiy jabbing well. The American came into the fight with a very non-traditional boxing stance with one hand low, but his posture seemed to be effective in luring his opponent into punching range. Ababiy landed some booming hooks and a nice left uppercut that backed up French. Mezitím, French concentrated on trying to land counters. He had a lower work rate but also didn’t take too much punishment.
French spent the second round trying to exchange in close quarters. He landed more shots later in the round, including some heated right hooks in the final moments. Ababiy connected with some thumping shots in the round and showcased some nice defense as well. He mixed up his shots to the body and head, throwing and covering up to wait for the next opening. Ababiy landed a nice left hook to the head followed up with a picture perfect right uppercut in the final minute. He ended the round well on his way to his first win.
The final round saw Ababiy slow down a bit, but he was still effective enough to carry the frame. French managed some crisp left hooks to the head, but he couldn’t figure out the different style his opponent brought to the ring. The American cruised to the unanimous decision win.
The night also began with the only stoppage on the card thanks to a wild brawl between local 132-pound Manchester, NH novices Michael Correa and Abhisek Thapa. Correa took off across the ring upon hearing the opening bell and unleashed one wild flurry after another. Thapa didn’t let the tornado swallow him up, ačkoli. He ust covered up and waited for his opportunities. It only took a couple minutes for Correa to start tiring out from the relentless attack. Thapa then waded in to land some of the most impressive shots of the night, forcing the referee to stop the fight for three standing eight counts before the end finally came with a whirlwind of power punches from Thapa.

 

There was also a guest appearance made by the boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. still calls his toughest opponent ever, Emanuel Augustus (3-34-6, 20 KO). Augustus participated in a reunion the previous night with “Irský” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 KO), celebrating one of the best fights in the history of the sport, which took place on July 13, 2001. Augustus stuck around for the fights and even came into the ring to showcase that he still has the same punching prowess that made him one of the most entertaining fighters of his era.
“We learned from this tour that we’re right up there with the best teams in the world,” Team USA head coach Billy Walsh said. “Team Ireland is a very good, young team. We’re going to have a good team to send to Tokyo (2020 Olympijské hry). I’m proud of my team. They all worked very hard. We didn’t have some of our best boxers because some were competing in an International tournament We do have a good crop of 18-19-20 year-olds who will make up our 2020 Olympic team.”

Team Ireland also brought their own production crew to film all the action for those who couldn’t be there:

2001 Fight of the Year Reunion for final stop of 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Tour

Zanechat komentář
Emanuel Augustus joins special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger to complete memorable fight
Březen 21 v Manchesteru, NH
COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Březen 19, 2018) – Retired pro boxer Emanuel Augustus has confirmed his attendance this week at a USA Boxing-hosted reunion of the 2001 Boj roku, associated with the final stop on the 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour festivities in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The 2001 Fight of the Year was held July 13, 2001, at Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton, NH., and it is still considered one of the greatest matches ever broadcast on ESPN. “Irský” Micky Ward won an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up with “boxing cult” hero Emanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judges’ scoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
“Ward versus Augustus was truly the event of the year in boxing and we’re so happy it was held right here in New Hampshire,” said Stephen, who has been in his position as chairman since 1974, “Micky was losing the fight until the later rounds. As the chairperson of he commission, I checked the judges’ scorecards after six or seven rounds and Micky was losing. Pak, Micky caught Augustus, dropped and really hurt him. He went on to win a great fight.”
The high-profile win positioned Ward for what turned out to be his epic Gatti trilogy, while Augustus went on to become one of the most dangerous, upset-minded opponents in boxing. Vizita, Augustus and the third man in the ring that night, Hall of Fame rozhodčího Steve Smoger, will host as USA Alumni Association event Tuesday, Moře. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. v Manchesteru), začíná na 6 p.m. A.
The trio will also be joined by two others closely associated with the 2001 Boj roku, Chairman of the New Hampshire Boxing and Wrestling Commission, Bobby Stephen, as well as International matchmaker, Eric Bottjer, who made the Ward-Augustus fight in 2001.
All five will also attend the USA Boxing Alumni Association event as well as the following night’s (Moře. 21) USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire.
SPECIAL MANCHESTER AMATEUR BOXING MATCH ADDED
A special lightweight novice WILL open the competition, showcasing two Manchester amateur boxers, Abhisek Thapa (Title Boxing Club) a Michael Correa (Manchester PAL).
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at 7 p.m. EST, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.
Vstupenky jsou cenově na $20.00 pro obecné přijetí, $30 for reserved ringside seats, and available to purchase on Seacoast Ticket Agency’s website, www.seacoastticket.com, the official ticket distributor for the event.
“We’re so happy to have the USA-Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour here in Manchester,” Stephen added. “The talent on both squads is extraordinary. We’re honored to have these two teams here for this big event. It’s a credit to USA Boxing and (special events director) Al Valenti, who has done so much over the years for boxing in New Hampshire. Boxing was very popular here many years ago. People turned out in droves to attend the Golden Gloves. There’s a boxing resurgence and that’s so important to teach young people discipline, respect and conditioning that’s so needed today. These amateurs do their best for the love of boxing; they aren’t in it for money like professionals.
“Micky is honorable, a real nice person. It means a lot for local fans and boxers to meet him. We were fortunate to have him fight in New Hampshire on serval occasions and nobody who watched his fight Augustus or his trilogy with Arturo Gatti will never forget.”.

2001 Fight of the Year Reunion planned for final stop of 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Tour

Zanechat komentář
Special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger
Březen 21 v Manchesteru, NH
COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Březen 12, 2018) – USA Boxing is hosting a special reunion, featuring two key members of the 2001 Boj roku, to be part of the final stop on the 2018 USA vs. Irsko Severovýchodní Boxing Tour, Březen 21 at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at 7 p.m. EST, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.
Vstupenky jsou cenově na $20.00 pro obecné přijetí, $30 for reserved ringside seats, and available to purchase on Seacoast Ticket Agency’s website,www.seacoastticket.com, the official ticket distributor for the event.
The 2001 Fight of the Year was held July 13, 2001, at Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton, NH., and it is still considered one of the greatest matches ever broadcast on ESPN. “Irský” Micky Ward won an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up with “boxing cult” hero Emanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judges’ scoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
The high-profile win positioned Ward for what turned out to be his epic Gatti trilogy, while Augustus went on to become one of the most dangerous, upset-minded opponents in boxing. Ward and the third man in the ring that night, Hall of Fame rozhodčího Steve Smoger, will host a USA Alumni Association event Úterý, Moře. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. v Manchesteru), začíná na 6 p.m. A, and attend the following night’s (Moře. 21) USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale in Manchester.
“I’m honored to be invited by USA Boxing to represent all professional officials who spent so much valuable time in the amateurs on their way to their positions in the pros,” Smoger said. “I’m looking forward to being part of everything planned.
“Anytime I spend time with Micky is enjoyable, dovnitř a ven z kruhu, and we’ve truly formed a bond. I worked six or seven of his fights, including his first in Atlantic City, around the time we were both breaking in. We spend time together every year at the International Boxing Hall of Fame inductions. He’s such a pleasure to be around. He treats people very well. His history in the ring and personality make him a big fan favorite. He’s the same guy he’s always been but he still has the heart of a warrior.”
Bernard Dunne celebrating world title anniversary
Irish Team Performance Director Bernard Dunne will celebrate the ninth anniversary of his WBA super bantamweight title-winning performance, Moře. 21, 2009, the same date as the USA-Ireland Northeaster Boxing Tour stop in Manchester.
Dunne (28-2, 15 KO), fighting out of Dublin, fought professionally between 2001-2009. Byl 119-11 jako amatér, počítaje v to 13 Irish titles.
V 2009, se zastavil Ricardo Cordoba v 11th round at O2 Arena in Dublin, aby se stal mistrem světa.
USA stars out in Manchester
USA Boxing will be looking to conclude the tour on a high note with expected boxers on the show such as 2017 four-time international gold medalist Ginny Fuchs (Kemah, TX), 2017 Elite Women’s Continental Championships bronze medalist Oshae Jones (Toledo, OH), 2017 World Championships silver medalist Duke Ragan (Cincinnati, OH), 2017 World Championships bronze medalist Freudis Rojas (Las Vegas, NV), 2016 USA Nationals heavyweight champion Jared Anderson (Toledo, OH), a 2016 Youth World Championship bronze medalist Richard Torrez (Tulare, JAKO).

Former Irish National Team head coach Billy Walsh Now rebuilding Team USA boxing program

2018 USA vs. Irsko Severovýchodní Boxing Tour:
Moře. 12 Boston, Moře. 15 Springfield, Moře. 21 Manchester, NH

Billy Walsh (centrum) is shown here receiving his Best of 2017 Elite World Championships Award

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Únor 22, 2018) – USA Boxing head coach Billy Walsh was the head coach of his native country’s amateur program in Ireland for 12 years and, ironicky, those two squads will compete in three friendly duals next month on the 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Tour.
A 1988 Ireland Olympian, Walsh coached the Irish Team from 2003 na 2015, and he took over Team USA in 2015, capturing the AIBA’s World Coach of the Year the past two years.
The USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will commence Březen 12 v Bostonu Royale Entertainment Complex, followed by match-ups on Březen 15 Na MassMutual Center ve Springfieldu, Mass., and Manchester, NH will close out tours onBřezen 21 The Manchester Downtown Hotel. Boxu začne v 7:00 p.m. EST Ve všech třech městech.

Tickets for any of these events may be purchased online at http://go.teamusa.org/2nX3Vjc. Každé město představí až 12 konce, each to be live-streamed, zdarma, na webových stránkách USA boxerské je (www.usaboxing.org).

“Konec konců,” the 54-year-old Walsh admitted, “it is an unusual situation for me. But I’ve been coaching here two years and Team USA is my team now. I didn’t come here for just a few years. When I eventually leave, Team USA will have developed continuity and a solid program.
“I am a true Irishman who developed through a system that won multiple titles and I was the Irish Team captain for five years. I’m helping develop strong relations between USA and Ireland that can help both programs. Ireland has been among the best of the world – amazing considering the geographical size of Ireland — with its fighters’ great hearts along with their technique and skill. There’s a lot of talent and resources in the states, but amateur boxers have been taught to develop skills more for professional boxing. Here there is a variety of different ethnic groups: Mexicans, African-American and Caucasians, také. It’s truly a melting pot and each has a unique style of boxing. We are now providing coaching education for US programs to be sustainable long term.”
Boston, samozřejmě, is known for being Irish friendly, to say the least. The Mayor of Boston, for example, je Marty Walsh. Coach Walsh has only been in Boston once, 10 years ago with his wife for a short holiday.
“I didn’t do or get to see too much,” Walsh added. “but I know that there’s a lot of Irish history in Boston. Boston is a home away from home for the Irish. I have some friends and family there. I even joke that the mayor is my cousin. I understand that there are a lot of Irish in Springfield and Manchester, také. I’m looking forward to going to all three cities on this tour.”
Rosters for the USA and Irish teams will soon be announced.

USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour Kicks-off March 12 v Bostonu

Zanechat komentář
“Fightin’ Irský” boxing history
Rich in Boston
COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Únor 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ Irský” and Boston boxing has been synonymous for more than a century, since the Irish first started emigrating to the United States in general, Boston in particular, po Great Potato Famine.
Many Irish and Irish-American boxers have fought in the Greater Boston area, some born and others resettling there. This rich tradition continues next month in a different way when the three-city 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour kicks-off Pondělí, Březen 12, at the newly renovated Royale Entertainment Complex in Boston’s famed theater district. The Boston stop, which is being presented by Budweiser, will have general admission tickets for $20.00 and a limited amount of $30.00 reserved tickets go on sale today (Pondělí, Únor. 12) na 12 p.m. A are available to purchase online here.
The USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will continue Březen 15 Na MassMutual Center ve Springfieldu, Mass., concluding Březen 21 at The Manchester Downtown Hotel in New Hampshire.
All the duals will begin at 7:00 p.m. EST a vstupenky budou k dispozici ke koupi v nadcházejících týdnech. Každé město představí až 12 konce, which will all be live streamed, zdarma, na webových stránkách USA boxerské je (www.usaboxing.org).
The tradition started back in the 19th century with “The Boston Strongboy,” John. L. Sullivan (Roxbury, MA), the first millionaire American athlete, as well as the first “gloves” world heavyweight champion and final “bare knuckles” heavyweight champion of the world. An International Boxing Hall of Famer, Sullivan won 38 na 38 Pro boje, 30 coming by knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, Jake Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 KO), lived in Somerville and Quincy, both Boston suburbs. Kilrain (1829-1899) also reigned as world heavyweight champion.
Irish boxers from Greater Boston continued this rich tradition through the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 KO), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 KO), and Charlestown welterweight Mikrofon “Twin” Sullivan(28-6-16, 17 KO), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 KO)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “Irský” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 KO) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimmy Carter, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, nicméně, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight Tom McNeeley (37-14, 28 KO), unsuccessfully fought for the world title in 1961, stopped in the fourth round of his Toronto fight versus defending champion Floyd Patterson, and McNeeley’s son, Boston-native and later Medfield resident Petr “Hurikán” McNeeley (47-7, 30 KO) famously was stopped in the opening round by “Iron” Mike Tyson in the latter’s first fight after his release from prison.
In the 1980’s, Irish boxers made their way to Boston to fight; some returned home after their careers, others relocated in the area. V 1984, Ireland-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 KO), who had moved to the Dorchester section of Boston, lost a 15-round decision in Madison Square Garden to Mike McCallum for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Middleweight World Championship.
Steve “Celtic Warrior” Collins (25-2-1, 18 KO) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody a Pat Petronelli, who handled Marvelous Marvin Hagler throughout is Hall of Fame career. Collins captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight and super middleweight world titles before moving back to Ireland.
Collins’ mladší bratr, Packie Collins, also moved to Brockton to fight. He later worked with Irish heavyweight champion Kevin “The Clones Colossus” McBride (35-10-1, 29 KO), who went on to knock Tyson out and into retirement. McBride, who still lives in Dorchester, was a stablemate of former Team Ireland head coach and current Team USA head coach, Billy Walsh, at the European Games. Both were also Ireland Olympians, příslušně, v 1988 a 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, Wayne “Pocket Rocket” McCullough (27-7, 18 KO), moved to Las Vegas from Northern Ireland. The luck of the Irish wasn’t with him in Boston in 1997, when he lost his World Boxing Council (WBC) bantamweight title at Hynes Convention Center, by way of a 12-round split decision to Daniel Zaragoza.
Arguably the most famous and popular Irish-American boxer, outside of Sullivan and Jack Dempsey, is Lowell junior welterweight “Irský” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 KO), who was involved in three Fight of the Year award winners, two from his epic trilogy with Arturo Gatti, and the first boxer with more than 10 career losses to earn a $1-million purse. Ward’s life was portrayed by another Boston icon, actor Mark Wahlberg, in the award-winning movie, “The Fighter.”
Irish boxers are still coming to Boston to fight. Locally-based Murphys Boxing has promoted numerous shows in Boston featuring world-class boxers such as Gary “Špice” O'Sullivan and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “Energie” Doheny (18-0, 13 KO), as well as undefeated rising stars such as “Sting” Ray Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion Niall Kennedy (10-0, 6 KO).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.
Headlining Team USA’s roster is 2017 Mistrovství světa bronzový medailista Troy Isley(Alexandrie, VA). USA Boxing’s team will also include Virginia Fuchs (Kemah, Texas), who won four international gold medals in 2017, 2016 Youth World Champion a 2017 Elite kontinentální mistrovství stříbrný medailista, Delante Johnson (Cleveland, OH), 2017 USA Boxing Heavyweight National Champion Jared Anderson (Toledo, OH) a 2016 Mistrovství světa mládeže a bronzový medailista 2017 Heavyweight National Champion USA Box Super, Richard Torrez (Tulare, JAKO). Kompletní seznam pro každé město bude uvolněna blíže k začátkem prohlídky.
