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. “ໄອ​ແລນ” Micky ອຸ​ປະ​ຖໍາ won an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up withboxing culthero Emanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judgesscoring 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.

Anytime I spend time with Micky is enjoyable, ໃນ​ແລະ​ອອກ​ຈາກ​ວົງ​ການ, 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.

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

C
OLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (ກຸມ​ພາ 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, ທາດ​ເຫຼັກ, those two squads will compete in three friendly duals next month on the 2018 ອາ​ເມລິ​ກາ vs. Ireland Northeast Tour.
A 1988 Ireland Olympian, Walsh coached the Irish Team from 2003 ການ 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 ມີ​ນາ 12 ຢູ່ Boston ຂອງ Royale Entertainment Complex, followed by match-ups on ມີ​ນາ 15 ຢູ່ສູນ MassMutual ໃນ Springfield, ມະ​ຫາ​ຊົນ​., and Manchester, NH will close out tours onມີ​ນາ 21 ທີ່ Manchester Downtown Hotel. ມວຍຈະເລີ່ມຕົ້ນຢູ່ 7:00 p.m. EST ໃນທັງຫມົດສາມເມືອງ.

Tickets for any of these events may be purchased online at http://go.teamusa.org/2nX3Vjc. ເມືອງແຕ່ລະຄົນຈະສະແດງເຖິງ 12 ປາຍ, each to be live-streamed, ເສຍຄ່າໃຊ້ຈ່າຍ, ກ່ຽວກັບເວັບໄຊທ໌ USA ມວຍຂອງ (www.usaboxing.org).

“ໃນ​ຕອນ​ທ້າຍ​ຂອງ​ມື້​ນັ້ນ,” 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 worldamazing considering the geographical size of Irelandwith its fightersgreat 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, ເກີນ​ໄປ. 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, ແນ່​ນອນ, is known for being Irish friendly, to say the least. The Mayor of Boston, for example, ແມ່ນ 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, ເຊັ່ນ​ດຽວ​ກັນ. I’m looking forward to going to all three cities on this tour.
Rosters for the USA and Irish teams will soon be announced.

ອາ​ເມລິ​ກາ vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour Kicks-off March 12 ໃນ Boston

Fightin’ ໄອ​ແລນ” boxing history
Rich in Boston
COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (ກຸມ​ພາ 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ ໄອ​ແລນ” 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, ຫຼັງ​ຈາກ​ທີ່​ໄດ້ 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 ອາ​ເມລິ​ກາ vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour kicks-off ຈັນ, ມີ​ນາ 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 (ຈັນ, Feb. 12) ຢູ່​ໃນ 12 p.m. ແລະ are available to purchase online here.
The USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will continue ມີ​ນາ 15 ຢູ່ສູນ MassMutual ໃນ Springfield, ມະ​ຫາ​ຊົນ​., concluding ມີ​ນາ 21 at The Manchester Downtown Hotel in New Hampshire.
All the duals will begin at 7:00 p.m. EST ແລະປີ້ຈະໄດ້ຮັບການເຮັດໃຫ້ມີສໍາລັບການຊື້ໃນອາທິດທີ່ຈະມາເຖິງ. ເມືອງແຕ່ລະຄົນຈະສະແດງເຖິງ 12 ປາຍ, which will all be live streamed, ເສຍຄ່າໃຊ້ຈ່າຍ, ກ່ຽວກັບເວັບໄຊທ໌ USA ມວຍຂອງ (www.usaboxing.org).
The tradition started back in the 19th century with The Boston Strongboy,” John. L. Sullivan (ລໍອົກເບີລີ່, MA), the first millionaire American athlete, as well as the firstglovesworld heavyweight champion and finalbare knucklesheavyweight champion of the world. An International Boxing Hall of Famer, Sullivan won 38 ຂອງ 38 ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ສົ່ງ​ເສີມ, 30 coming by knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, Jake Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 KOs), 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 KOs), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 KOs), and Charlestown welterweight Mike “TwinSullivan(28-6-16, 17 KOs), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 KOs)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “ໄອ​ແລນ” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 KOs) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimmy Carter, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, ຢ່າງ​ໃດ​ກໍ​ຕາມ, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight ຂອບ McNeeley (37-14, 28 KOs), 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 Peter “Hurricane” McNeeley (47-7, 30 KOs) famously was stopped in the opening round by “ທາດ​ເຫຼັກ” 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. ໃນ 1984, Ireland-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 KOs), 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 WarriorCollins (25-2-1, 18 KOs) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody ແລະ 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.
Collinsyounger brother, Packie Collins, also moved to Brockton to fight. He later worked with Irish heavyweight champion Kevin “The Clones ColossusMcBride (35-10-1, 29 KOs), 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, ຕາມ​ລໍາ​ດັບ, ໃນ 1988 ແລະ 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, WaynePocket RocketMcCullough (27-7, 18 KOs), 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 “ໄອ​ແລນ” Micky ອຸ​ປະ​ຖໍາ (38-13, 27 KOs), 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 “ແບບ​ຮວງ​ຕັ້ງ​ແຈບ” O'Sullivan and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “ພະ​ລັງ​ງານ” Doheny (18-0, 13 KOs), as well as undefeated rising stars such as StingRay Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion Niall Kennedy (10-0, 6 KOs).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.
Headlining Team USA’s roster is 2017 Championship ໂລກ medalist bronze Troy Isley(Alexandria, VA). USA Boxing’s team will also include Virginia Fuchs (Kemah, Texas), who won four international gold medals in 2017, 2016 ເຍົາວະຊົນແຊ້ມໂລກແລະ 2017 Elite Continental Championships medalist ເງິນ, delante Johnson (Cleveland, OH), 2017 USA Boxing Heavyweight National Champion Jared Anderson (Toledo, OH) ແລະ 2016 ເຍົາແຊມປຽນຊິບໂລກ bronze medalist ແລະ 2017 USA ມວຍ Super ແຊ້ມເຮຟວີ່ເວດ, Richard Torrez (Tulare, ເຊັ່ນ).

Granite Chin’sRumble at The RIM” ຜົນ​ຢ່າງ​ເປັນ​ທາງ​ການ

Richard “Popeye the Sailor Man” Rivera
Good to finish because he eats his spinach
Russell Kimber wins pro debut
HAMPTON, N.H. (ເດືອນ​ທັນ​ວາ 9, 2017) — Colorful light heavyweight prospect Richard “Popeye Sailor ໄດ້ຜູ້ຊາຍ” Rivera ຍັງ​ຄົງ undefeated (5-0, 4 KOs), ນັກ​ຮົບ​ເກົ່າ Roberto “ເກົ່າ​ໄດ້” Valenzuela, last night (Sat.) ໃນ “Rumble at The RIM” ເຫດ​ການ​ສໍາ​ຄັນ, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at The RIM Sports Complex in Hampton, New Hampshire.
Rivera, fighting out of Hartford (CT), controlled the action from the opening bell against his battle-tested opponent from Mexico, who had a tremendous experience advantage in his 147th pro fight, compared to Rivera’s fifth.
Valenzuela spent most of the time on the ropes, while Rivera teed-off on him, until a beautiful placed left hook by Rivera decked Valenzuela, who failed to get up until after referee Mike Ryan completed the 10-count.
A busload of Rivera’s fans drove five hours from Hartford through a snowstorm, arriving just before Rivera entered the ring. “That means a lot to me,” Rivera smiled as he spoke about his fans. “We’re more than a gym, ພວກ​ເຮົາ​ກໍາ​ລັງ​ຄອບ​ຄົວ.
I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. Next, I want to win the New England title. It’s vacant and I want it!”
This was our first show in New Hampshire and I consider it a success,” co-promoter Chuck Shearns ກ່າວ​ວ່າ, “despite some things going against us like tonight’s weather. We’re grateful for the support we received from Hampton, New Hampshire, the commission and local businesses. They worked with us and we can’t wait to return.
The son and nephew of multiple-time world kickboxing championsfather Tommy and uncleworked his cornerPeabody, MA Russell Kimber had a promising pro debut against tough Nathan Schulte in a match contested at a 185-pound catchweight. The 32-year-old Kimber, who was the crowd favorite having lived several years in New Hampshire, overcame the determined Schulte for a hard-fought victory by way of a four-round majority decision.
I was a little nervous with this being my first time in a pro ring,” Kimber admitted after his fight. “I hadn’t been in a ring for 1 ½ years and there was some ring rust. ໃນ​ປັດ​ຈຸ​ບັນ, I know what I need to good, and I’ll be a lot better next fight. This was my first camp and I’ve learned a lot. I’d like to stay busy, come back in late January, early February.
Undefeated Whitman, MA junior welterweight prospect Mike “Bad ManOhan, Jr.charged across the ring, unloading a powerful right that immediately sent Bardraiel Smith to the canvas. Smith somehow got to his feet but Ohan quickly ended Smith’s night, only 30-second into round one, as referee Ryan waved off the action.
New England cruiserweight champion and the show’s co-promoter, Iraq War veteran Chris Traietti (25-5, 19 KOs) outclassed Fabian Valdez en route to a win by second-round knockout in a stay-busy fight to close out 2017. In a non-title fight contested at a 185-pounds catchweight, the Quincy, MA-based Traietti floored his game Mexican opponent with a straight right midway through the opening round, closing the show in the second round with a series of unanswered punches.
The only New Hampshire native on the card, Claremont junior middleweight Ricky Ford(1-1-1) won his first pro fight, taking a lop-sided, four-round unanimous decision over pro MMA fighter Andy Aiello, who made his pro boxing debut.
In another stay-busy fight, former world-rated Ryan “ການ​ນາ Polish” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 KOs), fighting out of Quincy (MA), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight Francisco “El MonoMedal. Kielczweski hit Medal with a with a lethal left to the body, leaving Medal in obvious pain and unable to rise before the 10-count.
New Jersey middleweight Chris “Sandman” Thomas (7-0-1, 4 KOs) kept his unbeaten pro record intact with a second-round stoppage of Demetrius Thomas. Thomas used a rapid-fire combination to drop Thomas, who beat the count, but he was getting hammered when referee Ryan stopped the fight late in the second round.

SALEM NH- (ຕຸ​ລາ 19, 2016)- Combat Zone MMA, the longest running mixed martial arts promotion in New England and one the most successful in the Northeast, is relocating its exhilarating events stacked with professional and amateur MMA and kickboxing fights to Manchester, NH and returning to its roots, co-owners Calvin Kattar and Jamison Kattar announced today.

 

After calling the recently shuttered Rockingham Park in Salem, NH home for the past eight years, Combat Zone is coming to the Armory Room on-site at the Radisson Hotel in Downtown Manchester.

 

The Armory Room is an exceptional venue that is perfectly suited to host the fights and it can accommodate comfortably up to 800 ຕໍ່​ສູ້​ກັບ fans. Finished with exposed brick throughout the room it’s a perfect fit for CZ Events!

 

The first event that will be at the Aromory Room at the Radisson will be Combat Zone 60 ກ່ຽວ​ກັບ ວັນ​ເສົາ, ເດືອນ​ພະ​ຈິກ 19.

 

I’m very excited about bringing the promotion back home to where it all first started at the Radisson. We feel the new location will allow us to make the necessary changes to appeal to a wider audience while continuing to provide action-packed fights for our loyal fan base,” said Calvin Kattar, who recently returned to action inside the cage and improved his record to 16-2 and his rank to #2 among pro featherweights in New England.

 

The Kattar brothers and matchmaker Ryan Fennelly are still putting the Combat Zone 60 card together, but fight fans can expect to be treated to the MMA Lightweight Amateur Title defense when challenger Gerald Meuse (4-1) from Boston tries to tale the belt from undefeated champion Dave Brown (3-0). ສີນ​້​ໍາ​ຕານ, who hails from Laconia, NH, earned the belt in his last fight when he beat the previously unblemished Shawn Melanson.

 

What shapes up as another terrific and intense match-up on what will be a full card of action includes the pro kickboxing fight between Ray Shawdee, who coaches at New England Top Team in Windham, NH and hails rom Lowell, MA, and Maine’s always fearsome Crowsneck Boutin. This fight has potential title implications for the winner.

 

Other expected and competitive, tough fights are MMA pros Jay Perrin 2-2 vs. Chad Kelley 4-2 matching up at 135 lbs. and Salem’s Nick Fiore (1-0) vs. Taylor Costatino (2-2) competing as amateurs at catch weight of 150 lbs.

Del Valle to meet Crespo April 9!

ODV.jpg

Bayamon, PR (ເດືອນ​ເມ​ສາ 1, 2016) – Super bantamweight contender Luis “Orlandito” Del Valle returns to the ring on ວັນ​ເສົາ, ເດືອນ​ເມ​ສາ 9 to face New England titlist Josh Crespo in an eight round bout at Rockingham Park in Salem, NH.

ປີ້​ຈາກ $35 are on sale by calling 860-982-2532 ຫຼື 603-898-2311.

A blood and guts warrior who gives fans their monies worth every time he enters the squared circle, Del Valle has an outstanding 20-2 ບັນ​ທຶກ​ກັບ 15 wins ໂດຍ knockout. ໃນ​ເດືອນ​ພະ​ຈິກ 2015, the Bayamon native stopped 50-plus fight veteran Jose Juan Beltran after two rounds in Comerio, Puerto Rico. Currently signed to an exclusive promotional contract with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports, Del Valle has his sights set on another big fight but first must conquer the task at hand.

Born and raised in New Haven, CT, Crespo is riding a wave of confidence having defeated Jorge Abiague (9-1) for the New England super bantamweight championship last November. Crespo’s professional ledger is a deceptive 6-2-3 ມີ 2 KO’s but he’s unbeaten in his last five, facing two undefeated fighters in the process.

If victorious, Del Valle is expected to appear in a televised bout in the immediate future. While some potentially view this fight as a given for Del Valle prior to bigger and better things, the 29-year-old knows that records don’t tell the whole story and Crespo’s hunger can’t be overlooked.

“I’ve got big plans but that all goes out the window if I don’t do what I have to against Crespo,” Del Valle said from his training camp in Puerto Rico. “Anybody who really knows boxing understands that a record doesn’t determine how good a fighter is. I’ve seen Crespo before. He’s tough and willing to take on anybody which is evident by the fact that he’s facing me rather than a lesser opponent. I’m training like I’m the underdog since this fight is close to his hometown and I’ve got a lot on the line.”
