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, 新罕布什爾. 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, 分別, 通過分數 8-4 和 7-3.

 

Wednesday’s fights were not all about winning, 然而. For the majority of the boxers involved it was a great opportunity to fine-tune their techniques and get some much-needed international competition experience. Some of Wednesday night’s best performers will also likely be representing their respective countries in the upcoming 2020 奧運會.

 

 

The main event of the night featured 2016 Youth World Championships Bronze Medalist Richard Torrez dominating 3-time Irish National Champion Dean Gardiner. The Irish fighter’s towering height and long reach simply could not overcome the fast pace and excellent defensive posture of the shorter American.

 

Torrez spent the first round executing masterful feinting and punch slipping while scoring with some bombing hooks. Torrez changed levels, used slick head movement, and never let his foot off the gas as Gardiner plodded forward with an unbalanced and wild approach in the early going. A thudding body shot connected for the Irishman in the first, but not much else.

 

Torrez kept up the quick work rate in the next frame, unleashing left and right hooks and landing cleanly through much of the round. He scored to the body and head easily, though much of the round saw his opponent covering up and waiting for openings. One straight left from Torrez sent his opponent reeling for a moment, but the taller man recovered and did land a phenomenal left hook to the head of Torrez as he was fighting off the ropes. Gardiner tried landing mostly straight punches on the outside and seemed unable to turn over his punches in close.

The third round saw both fighters slugging it out until the final bell with one of the wildest back and forth exchanges of the night, but it was too little and too late for Gardiner. He just could not get his range dialed in. Torrez just outworked his opponent again and landed a few slick uppercuts to go with his thundering right and left hooks. He used the jab sparingly but effectively, spending much of the final frame targeting Gardiner’s body. Torrez earned the Unanimous Decision win with his performance and didn’t take more than a handful of hard shots in the process.

 

Kelly Harrington, a World Championship Silver Medalist from Ireland, likely had her team’s most masterful performance in cruising to a unanimous decision victory over Stacia Suttles in the opening bout of the night. Suttles struggled to keep herself at the ideal punching range against the unrelenting attack of Harrington in the first round, spending much of the three minutes bobbing and weaving to try to avoid the crisp combinations of her opponent. Suttles did land her jab fairly consistently, and she did begin to put some combos together late in the round, but Harrington is an absolute expert when it comes to head movement. She looked as if Floyd Mayweather, JR. was one of her coaches as she utilized a hands-low technique with constant feints, punch slipping and level changing. The first round saw her landing a beautiful straight left to the head and a fantastic body and head punching combination that landed solidly. She unleashed some fierce hooks, although a few were wild haymakers. Below is a picture of Harrington during one of just a few brief moments in the fight where she brought both hands up to protect her face.

Suttles caught Harrington with some glancing and flush shots in the second round, but she seemed to be having trouble getting power behind her punches. She did trade some decent right hands with her opponent, but it was clear by the end of the round that she just wasn’t going to be able to find any rhythm in the fight due to the craftiness of her opponent. Harrington spent the same round perfecting her range with crisp 1-2 combos and wild lead rights connecting. Harrington also scored some powerful left hooks with a picture perfect straight right landing just a few moments later.
The third round was more of the same for both fighters. Suttles worked much of the frame to track her opponent down, but every time she unloaded, she paid for it. One particularly solid left hook landed late in the round, but it just wasn’t enough. Harrington spent much of the last three minutes trying to connect with winging right hands. She landed one of her hardest punches of the fight late in the round and momentarily stunned her opponent before the bell to end the fight. Harrington took away a unanimous decision and looks to be one of the most promising boxers at her weight in the running for the 2020 奧運會.
Yet another example of height somehow being a disadvantage played a role in the other female fight on the card. Team USA’s Leah Cooper (#2 US Female Middleweight) used ducking and feinting to avoid the taller Aoife Burke’s long reach. Cooper fought from a semi-crouch, making it hard for Burke to land with any significant power on the majority of her punches. The 8-time National Irish Champion
had a few spots in the fight where she regained control of the action, but Cooper made the right adjustments to minimize the threats.
Cooper executed a swarming attack to begin the first round, firing off 1-2 combos and backing Burke up. She remained patient and persistent throughout the frame, staying low and out of range of Burke’s power shots. Burke exhibited excellent defense, but she could only manage to throw and land one punch at a time. She showcased a crisp jab throughout the round, but it just didn’t deter Cooper. Burke had her best moments of the round toward the final bell, mixing up shots to the body and head, including a hard right hook to the head.
Burke came out for the second round on fire, storming Cooper with rapid fire 1-2 combos and hooks. She also mixed in a slick uppercut that found Cooper’s chin. Cooper weathered the storm, only falling into the trap briefly. She regained her composure, landed some excellent counter punches, and turned what might have been Burke’s best round into the Irish champ’s worst. Cooper remained calm and cool, despite taking some of the hardest shots her opponent landed in the fight. She landed some superb 1-2 combos after Burke’s attack fizzled, eventually opening a cut near Burke’s left eye and bloodying her nose. Cooper’s hard body punching also sent Burke crouching down to the canvas briefly after a solid right hook.
Burke started the third round a bit late after getting checked out and cleared by the ringside doctor. She again started out with a flurry of bombing punches. She targeted the body and the head, but Cooper collected herself once again and went back to work. She changed levels well and began connecting with furious hooks, first to the body and then back up to the head. She also kept up an active jab and landed multiple 1-2 連擊. Burke did manage another late flurry in the closing moments of the fight, but Cooper still came away with the unanimous decision win.
Team USA Lightweight James Browning came into Wednesday night’s bout with Ireland’s Francis Cleary as a two-time USA Boxing Champion. Cleary, a nine-time Irish National Champion, represented Browning’s first crack at international competition. Both fighters had their moments, but it would be Browning getting the win at the end of three entertaining, back-and-forth rounds of action.
Browning spent the first round establishing a higher work rate than his opponent and using lots of movement to avoid Cleary’s attack. He also landed a consistent jab, mixing up his body and head shots well. Though he won the round, Browning took plenty of risks and paid the price. Cleary picked his spots and unleashed the more clean and powerful punches when he was able to land. He just couldn’t connect enough, and he clinched out of trouble almost every time he wound up fighting in close quarters.
Clearly landed some more sharp bombs in the second frame, getting more aggressive and starting to track down his constantly moving opponent. A thumping left hook near the end of the round connected with Browning’s head and impressed the packed house of fans. 還, Browning remained busy and did well in the slugging exchanges between the two fighters. He was often wild, but the work output kept Cleary from stealing the round.
Cleary came out for the third round with renewed ferocity, engaging in a wild brawl with Browning. It was the best round of the fight for Cleary, and Browning could not maintain the elusiveness he displayed in the prior rounds. The Irish fighter landed another booming left hook in the round, featured perfectly-timed counters, and kept punching right up to the bell. Browning definitely appeared to be frustrated and tired by the end of the fight. 還, two out of the three judges were sure he deserved the win, 贏得分裂決策勝利.
The next bout pitted eight-time Irish National Champion Wayne Kelley against 13-time US National Champion Adrian Benton in a close welterweight battle. Both young fighters had bright spots in the match, but Kelley managed to squeak out the split decision victory with a crafty, gutsy effort.
Benton had the better first round thanks to a swarming attack. 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 連擊.
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 餘量.
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 (愛爾蘭) and Freudis Rojas, JR. (美國) 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, 雖然.
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, 雖然, 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. 與此同時, 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, 雖然. 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 科斯). Augustus participated in a reunion the previous night with “愛爾蘭的” 米奇沃德 (38-13, 27 科斯), 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 奧運會). 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 美國VS. Ireland Northeast Tour

發表評論
Emanuel Augustus joins special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger to complete memorable fight
三月 21 在曼徹斯特, NH
科羅拉多斯普林斯, 膝部. (三月 19, 2018) – Retired pro boxer Emanuel Augustus has confirmed his attendance this week at a USA Boxing-hosted reunion of the 2001 年度撲滅, associated with the final stop on the 2018 美國VS. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour festivities in Manchester, 新罕布什爾.
該 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. “愛爾蘭的” 米奇沃德 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. 然後, 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. 病房, Augustus and the third man in the ring that night, 名人堂裁判大廳 史蒂夫·斯莫傑, will host as USA Alumni Association event Tuesday, 海. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. 在曼徹斯特), 開始 6 P.M. AND.
The trio will also be joined by two others closely associated with the 2001 年度撲滅, 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 (海. 21) 美國VS. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, 新罕布什爾.
SPECIAL MANCHESTER AMATEUR BOXING MATCH ADDED
A special lightweight novice WILL open the competition, showcasing two Manchester amateur boxers, Abhisek Thapa (Title Boxing Club) 和 Michael Correa (Manchester PAL).
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at 7 P.M. 美東時間, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.
門票價格在合理的 $20.00 一般入學, $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 阿圖羅·加蒂 will never forget.”.

Two of the best amateur boxing squads in the country, featuring numerous 2020 Olympic hopefuls, had a major showdown to the delight of the mixed crowed of supporters of both programs.

2001 Fight of the Year Reunion planned for final stop of 2018 美國VS. Ireland Northeast Tour

發表評論
Special guests Micky Ward & 史蒂夫·斯莫傑
三月 21 在曼徹斯特, NH

Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at 7 P.M. 美東時間, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.

該 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. “愛爾蘭的” 米奇沃德 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, 名人堂裁判大廳 史蒂夫·斯莫傑, will host a USA Alumni Association event 星期二, 海. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. 在曼徹斯特), 開始 6 P.M. AND, and attend the following night’s (海. 21) 美國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, 進出環, 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 伯納德·鄧恩 will celebrate the ninth anniversary of his WBA super bantamweight title-winning performance, 海. 21, 2009, the same date as the USA-Ireland Northeaster Boxing Tour stop in Manchester.

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

發表評論
2018 美國VS. 愛爾蘭拳擊東北遊:
海. 12 波士頓, 海. 15 斯普林菲爾德, 海. 21 曼徹斯特, NH

比利·沃爾什 (中心) is shown here receiving his Best of 2017 Elite World Championships Award

ÇOLORADO SPRINGS, 膝部. (二月 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, 具有諷刺意味的, those two squads will compete in three friendly duals next month on the 2018 美國VS. Ireland Northeast Tour.
一 1988 Ireland Olympian, Walsh coached the Irish Team from 2003 到 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 三月 12 在波士頓的皇家娛樂中心, followed by match-ups on 三月 15 在萬通中心在斯普林菲爾德, 質量。, and Manchester, NH will close out tours on三月 21 在曼徹斯特市中心酒店. 拳擊將開始 7:00 P.M. 美東時間 在這三個城市.

Tickets for any of these events may be purchased online at HTTP://go.teamusa.org/2nX3Vjc. 每個城市將展示多達 12 結束, each to be live-streamed, 免費, 在美國拳擊網站 (www.usaboxing.org).

“在一天結束時,” 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, 太. 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.”
波士頓, 當然, is known for being Irish friendly, 至少可以說. The Mayor of Boston, for example, 是 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, 還有. I’m looking forward to going to all three cities on this tour.”
Rosters for the USA and Irish teams will soon be announced.

美國VS. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour Kicks-off March 12 在波士頓

發表評論
“Fightin’ 愛爾蘭的” boxing history
Rich in Boston
科羅拉多斯普林斯, 膝部. (二月 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ 愛爾蘭的” 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, 之後 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 美國VS. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour kicks-off 星期一, 三月 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 (星期一, 二月. 12) 在 12 P.M. AND are available to purchase online here.
The USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will continue 三月 15 在萬通中心在斯普林菲爾德, 質量。, concluding 三月 21 at The Manchester Downtown Hotel in New Hampshire.
All the duals will begin at 7:00 P.M. 美東時間 和門票將提供購買在未來幾週內. 每個城市將展示多達 12 結束, which will all be live streamed, 免費, 在美國拳擊網站 (www.usaboxing.org).
The tradition started back in the 19日 century with “The Boston Strongboy,” 約翰·. L. Sullivan (Roxbury, 嘛), 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 的 38 親打架, 30 淘汰賽來, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, 傑克Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 科斯), 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 19日 and beginning of the 20日 centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 科斯), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 科斯), and Charlestown welterweight 話筒 “Twin” Sullivan(28-6-16, 17 科斯), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 科斯)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “愛爾蘭的” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 科斯) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion 卡特, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, 然而, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight 湯姆·麥克尼利 (37-14, 28 科斯), unsuccessfully fought for the world title in 1961, stopped in the fourth round of his Toronto fight versus defending champion 弗洛伊德帕特森, and McNeeley’s son, Boston-native and later Medfield resident 彼得 “颶風” McNeeley (47-7, 30 科斯) famously was stopped in the opening round by “鐵的” 邁克·泰森 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. 在 1984, 愛爾蘭本地人 Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 科斯), who had moved to the Dorchester section of Boston, lost a 15-round decision in Madison Square Garden to 邁克·麥卡勒姆 對於世界拳擊協會 (WBA) Super Middleweight World Championship.
史蒂夫 “Celtic Warrior” 柯林斯 (25-2-1, 18 科斯) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody 和 Pat Petronelli, who handled 奇妙的馬文·哈格勒 throughout is Hall of Fame career. Collins captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight and super middleweight world titles before moving back to Ireland.
柯林斯’ 弟弟, Packie Collins, also moved to Brockton to fight. He later worked with Irish heavyweight champion 凱文· “The Clones Colossus” McBride (35-10-1, 29 科斯), 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, 比利·沃爾什, at the European Games. Both were also Ireland Olympians, 分別, 在 1988 和 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, 韋恩 “Pocket Rocket” McCullough (27-7, 18 科斯), 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 丹尼爾·薩拉戈薩.
Arguably the most famous and popular Irish-American boxer, outside of Sullivan and 傑克·登普西, is Lowell junior welterweight “愛爾蘭的” 米奇沃德 (38-13, 27 科斯), who was involved in three Fight of the Year award winners, two from his epic trilogy with 阿圖羅·加蒂, 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 馬克·沃爾伯格, 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 加里 “穗” 奧沙利文 and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “動力” 多尼 (18-0, 13 科斯), as well as undefeated rising stars such as “Sting” Ray Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion 尼爾·肯尼迪 (10-0, 6 科斯).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.
Headlining Team USA’s roster is 2017 世錦賽銅牌得主 特洛伊艾斯利(亞歷山大, VA). USA Boxing’s team will also include Virginia Fuchs (Kemah, 得克薩斯州), who won four international gold medals in 2017, 2016 世界青年冠軍和 2017 精英洲際錦標賽銀牌得主, Delante約翰遜 (克利夫蘭, OH), 2017 USA Boxing Heavyweight National Champion Jared Anderson (托萊多, OH) 和 2016 青年世界錦標賽銅牌得主和 2017 美國拳擊超級重量級全國冠軍, 理查德Torrez (萊裡, 例如). 每個城市的完整名單將被釋放接近巡演開始.
