馬山, CT (九月 16, 2017) – Undefeated Irishman Niall “BOOM BOOM” Kennedy won a controversial 10-round split decision versus defending champion Alexis Santos to capture the New England heavyweight championship in last night’s (星期六) main event of 百老匯拳擊 held in Fox Theater, at Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, CT.
該 百老匯拳擊 series is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by Nissan of Queens, Azad Watches, OPTYX, and Christos Steak House. Last night’s show, which was streamed by FightNight LIVE on Facebook, was promoted in association with Murphys Boxing.
Kennedy (9-0, 5 科斯), fighting out of Galway, 愛爾蘭, by way of Boston, battled Santos in a competitive, action-packed brawl to be awarded the N.E. title by scores of 96-93, 96-93, 93-96. The majority of fans in attendance, outside of Kennedy’s Irish supporters, and the ringside media felt that Santos, 從勞倫斯, 嘛, had the edge and deserved the decision.
裁判 Al LoBianco deducted a point from Santos in the ninth round for a highly questionable low blow and failed to rule a knockdown when it appeared the ropes kept Kennedy upright in a tremendous last round surge from the Dominican American.
在協調功能回合, 前世界冠軍 雪莉 “Shelito之路” 文森特 (20-1, 1 KO), of Providence, RI, defeated former world title challenger Angel “Non-Stop” Gladney (9-13-1, 6 科斯) in a junior lightweight match. The colorful Vincent was the aggressor throughout the fight, effectively cutting off the ring, outboxing and walking down Gladney for a lop-sided eight-round unanimous decision (80-72, 80-71 兩次).

Rising Connecticut welterweight star “奇妙” Mykquan威廉姆斯 提高自己的紀錄 8-0 (4 科斯), pitching a complete shutout in an impressive six-round unanimous decision (所有 60-54) win over a much more experienced and considerably taller Evincii “Prize Fighter” Dixon (7-20-2, 2 科斯). Williams is a 19-year-old from East Hartford who is a freshman at Manchester Community College.

2012 烏克蘭奧海 Ievgen “The Ukrainian Lion” Khytrov (15-1, 13 科斯), 的戰鬥布魯克林, bounced back from his only pro loss with a near shutout eight-round decision victory (80-72 兩次, 79-73) over his always tough super middleweight adversary, battle-tested veteran 起重機 “超人” Finley (27-22-1, 18 科斯).
“It was different when I first started training after a loss,” Khytrov said after the fight. “I started to think more and work on my defense; to fight much smarter instead of just brawling, throwing punches, like I did before my loss. I came the US four years ago from a small country that’s not rich to become a world champion. I feel I’m back on the right track.

Hot New England junior welterweight prospect 阿德里安 “Tonka” 索薩 (5-0, 4 科斯) stepped up in class against Mexican 舊金山 “El Mono” Medel (11-10, 7 科斯), and remained undefeated by displaying his overall game, offensively and defensively. Fighting out of Lawrence, 嘛, 該 2014 N.E. amateur champion Sosa dropped Medal with a straight right in the first round, a sneaky body shot in the second and finished him off in the third with a crisp right to the temple as referee Al LoBianco immediately halted the action.
Pro-debuting welterweights Nicky DeQuattro (1-0, 1 KO) 和 Timothy Wheeler (0-1) engaged in a street fight from the opening bell until DeQuartro, fighting out of Johnson, RI, connected with an overhand right that dropped his New York City rival. 過了一會兒, DeQuattro unleashed a four-punch combination that dropped Wheeler for a complete 10-count.
The night started with a barnburner as former Irish amateur standout Ray Moylette (6-0, 2 科斯) kept his undefeated pro record intact but it certainly wasn’t easy. Moylette overcame a second-round knockdown, coming back strong in the second half of the fight to take a six-round split decision versus game junior welterweight Donte Bryant (1-3-1, 1 KO).
