VERONA, NY (Augustus 13, 2016) – Undefeated rising contender Miguel Flores (21-0, 9 Uitklophoue) defeated exciting featherweight contender Ryan Kielczweski (25-2, 7 Uitklophoue) deur 'n eenparige besluit (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) in die 10-ronde belangrikste gebeurtenis van Premier Boxing Champions op ESPN en ESPN uit Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
In an action-packed fight during which both fighters threw over 750 stoot, the Houston native Flores was slightly more fluid and able to do enough work on the inside to keep his unblemished record intact.
Flores said, “I thought I would hurt him with body shots, so we did a lot of work down there tonight. I think my movement was the difference. Ryan said I couldn’t move, but I showed him and everyone else that I can.”
As Flores appeared to be stealing the early rounds, Kielczweski stepped on the gas at the midway point, throwing punches in bunches and landing regularly throughout the second half of the bout.
Kielczweski said, “I thought we fought a great fight tonight for the fans. I started a little slow, but I really picked it up in the fifth round.”
The increased activity was a little too belated to salvage the fight for the Quincy, MA native.
Kielczweski added, “I was gaining steam in the second half of the fight. I can’t say that I won, but I thought it could have been a draw. It was a good fight though, and I will be back.”
An excited Flores said, “It felt great to get this win tonight. I boxed and banged it out with (Kielczweski). He had some pop, and in the last round he got me with a good body shot, but we are used to tough fights like this. I like it like that. This is fun to me. We will watch the video and correct what I know were a lot of mistakes, but I believe I’m ready for the next level. I’m ready for the top contenders.”
Televised coverage kicked off with Olympic bronze medalist Yordenis Ugas (16-3, 7 Uitklophoue) defeating contender Jamal James (20-1, 9 Uitklophoue) deur 'n eenparige besluit (99-91, 98-92, 96-94) in a technical 10-round welterweight showdown.
Three days ago, James stepped in to replace undefeated welterweight Bryant Perrella, who was forced to withdraw from tonight’s bout because of an injury to his left thumb. James was coming off just 27 of days rest following his July 16 split decision victory over Wale Omotoso.
Ugas fought last 825 days ago when he lost his second consecutive bout, the third defeat of his career. Egter, Ugas showed no sign of ring rust Vrydag night as he casually controlled the action against James.
UGAS, a five-time Cuban National Champion, used his tremendous experience and was able to neutralize James’ height advantage.
“We focused on the body because (James) was tall,” het Ugas gesê. “So we planned on chopping him down, and that’s what I did.”
Although Ugas had initially been preparing for his long-awaited comeback against the left handed Perrella, he had no difficulty with the orthodox James.
Ugas added, “I followed my corner’s instructions and won round by round. I felt very consistent in there tonight.”
Knowing that he’d come up short, James said, “I thought it was a good fight. (UGAS) brought it tonight. I was fighting his fight unfortunately. I started to outpoint him late, so I should have started earlier with my combinations and countering. I was trying to knock him out and I should have just boxed.”
James added, “I have no excuses though, I am a grown man and could have said ‘no’ to taking this fight. But fighting is what I do. Other fighters are not doing what I did tonight. Seker, if I had more time to prepare I might have done better, but I am a fighter.”
On his prospects moving forward, Ugas said, “After the long layoff, this is a new beginning for me, and now I am looking for a big opportunity in my next fight. It felt good to get back to fighting.”
A resilient James summed things up adding, “A fight like tonight makes me hungrier to get back in the gym and get myself ready to come back again better than ever.”

MIGUEL FLORES
On fighting in his first main event on ESPN…
“I’m very thrilled to be fighting in my first main event on ESPN because I know many boxing fans from around the world will be tuning in. I feel I bring an exciting style to the ring that the fans will enjoy. It’s fights like this, on a major TV network like ESPN, that take your brand to another level. So the goal is to perform at my best ability and bring even more excitement to the featherweight division.”
On his recent training camp…
“Training camp has been very hard, but I know that hard work will pay off when it’s all said and done. I’ve had a lot of time to prepare for this fight so I’ll be at my best. My longtime trainer, Aaron Navarro, and my strength and conditioning coach, Edward Jackson, have been pushing me really hard. Together as a team, we will be ready to shine Vrydag.”
On his matchup with Ryan Kielczweski…
“Kielczweski is a very tough opponent. He’s a very good boxer with a tremendous amount of skill. He only has one loss, which was a split decision, so vir my, he could easily be an undefeated fighter. Met wat gesê word, I know I have to be at my best.”
On the landscape of the featherweight division…
“The featherweight division is loaded with great fighters. Carl Frampton, Leo Santa Cruz, Gary Russell, and all the other title holders are very skilled fighters. With each win, I’m inching closer to facing all of them.”
On fighting on the East Coast for the first time in his career…
“All my fights have been in Texas with the exception of a couple. So traveling to the East Coast will be something new for me. I plan to get there a few days early to get acclimated to the climate. Kielczweski is from Massachusetts, which is not far from the venue, so I know I’ll be up against all his hometown fans. I’m not worried about it. I just want to put on a great show, win this fight and capture all his fans in the process.”

Jose Pedraza Remains Unbeaten With Unanimous Decision Over Stephen Smith In IBF Junior Lightweight Championship

Catch The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Replay
Dit Maandag by 10 namiddag. EN/PT Op SHO EXTREME®

MASHANTUCKET, Conn. (April. 17, 2016) – WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. retained his title with a remarkable TKO of Irishman Patrick Hyland Saterdagon SHOWTIME from Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. In die mede-funksie, Jose Pedraza defended his IBF Junior Lightweight title with a unanimous decision over Stephen Smith.

 

Vanaand se event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during vanaand se undercard and boxing’s Smith brothers, including current WBO Super Welterweight World Champion Liam Smith, cheering from the crowd.

 

A relentless Russell brought the main event to a quick halt by registering three knockdowns in the second round, the last of which forced referee Danny Schiavone to end the contest at 1:33. Van die eerste klok, die Washington, D.C. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. Russell, 'n hotklou, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., wat verbeter sy rekords aan 27 oorwinnings, one loss, 15 uitklophoue.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, Lee Selby. We are ready. But what I really want is [Vasyl] Lomachenko. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 pond. I will go anywhere to get that fight,” Russell said.

 

“There aren’t many fighters who you instantly know are special,” said SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst Steve Farhood. “The combination of Gary Russell’s hand speed and accuracy instantly shows us that he’s special. That was plainly evident vanaand and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

Pedraza (22-0, 12 Uitklophoue) remained disciplined and came out victorious during his second IBF 130-pound world title defense. A combination of timing, hand speed and good defense allowed the Puerto Rican native to dominate the 12-round championship fight.

 

“This definitely was a tough fight but the training really came to advantage in this fight,” Pedraza told SHOWTIME Sports reporter Jim Gray. “I knew he was a tough fighter so I was always aware.”

 

“I had better focus vanaand. I had a better training camp,” said Pedraza, referring to his controversial split decision win over Edner Cherry two fights ago. “I knew that Stephen Smith was a great fighter and even after the knockdown, we were very cautious not to rush in.”

 

“Pedraza won vanaand with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,"Sê Farhood. “I had the fight even after eight rounds and once Pedraza dropped Smith in the ninth, he gained momentum that he never lost and he pulled away. It was an impressive performance but also an important one because it erased a lot of the negative criticism Pedraza received in his controversial win over Edner Cherry.”

 

Pedraza was the more accurate fighter, landing 50 percent of his power punches over the 12-round bout. The Sniper was able to pick his spots and pocket rounds once he figured out the distance. Smith had his moments, but wasn’t active enough.

 

Brian Custer hosted the SHOWTIME telecast, met Mauro Ranallo calling the action, Hall of Fame analyst Al Bernstein and former two-time world champion Paulie Malignaggi commentating and Jim Gray verslagdoening. In die Spaanse Simultane uitzending, Alejandro Luna called the blow-by-blow and former world champion Raul Marquez served as color commentator. The executive producer of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING was David Dinkins Jr. met Bob Dunphy regie.

NEW YORK (April 13, 2016) – WBC veergewigkampioen Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 Uitklophoue), van Capitol Heights, Md., and Irish contender Patrick Hyland (31-1, 15 Uitklophoue), of Dublin, faced off at the final press conference Woensdag at Highline Ballroom in New York, as they approach hierdie Saterdag Featherweight World Title fight live on Showtime® from the Fox Theater in Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
Die Showtime KAMPIOENSKAP boks® telecast begins live at 11 namiddag. EN/8 namiddag. PT on SHOWTIME with IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship clash between unbeaten Puerto Rican Jose Pedraza (21-0, 12 Uitklophoue) and mandatory challenger Stephen Smith (23-1, 13 Uitklophoue), of Liverpool, Engeland.
Here’s what the fighters had to say at Woensdag se final press conference.
GARY RUSSELL JR.
(On Patrick Hyland…)
“In die eerste plek, I gotta tip my hat off to him. I heard him say he was being trained by his father. Me and my younger brothers are also trained by my dad. My father is my favorite superhero, so it is very hard to deal with a situation like this and to bounce back and to grind and put all the hard work and effort into it after all the heartache and loss, I gotta tip my hat off to him for that.
I know that anytime you have a fighter that trains for six to eight weeks and prepares for no one else but you, is a dangerous fight. Hy is hoog, he’s long, but we can take him. We’re going to handle it.”
(On returning from injury…)
“Ek voel goed. Ek is gereed; I put the work in at the gym. Soos ek vroeër gesê het, I got cussed out several times and sometimes I left the gym feeling like the worst fighter ever. Maar, nou, we’re ready and we’re prepared to invest in my ability.”
(On what it means to have his brother Antonio on the card he’s headlining…)
“It means a lot. I’m looking forward to it. I’m actually more looking forward to watching my brother compete than my own fight. I will definitely be working his corner in that fight. It means a lot for us to be able to pass this information down from generation to generation and watch it grow and watch us build as a family and as a unit. It’s amazing.’
“He definitely has the potential to be the best. Him as well as Antuanne, who is now on the 2016 in 'n 10-ronde swaargewig kragmeting in die mede-funksie. It’s all information passed down from generation to generation. I feel as though they definitely have the ability to be better than me. I would want them to be anyway.”
(On what he needs to win the fight…)
“I need to maintain control of the fight, close the distance and maintain the jab. Complete dominance; I want to touch the body early. He likes to move a lot, so we’re going to cut all that down.”
(On potential future opponents…)
“God willing, everything goes right come April 16, we would love to unify with Lee Selby. If I had my choice, I would go with Lee Selby first to unify. Immediately after that, I want Leo Santa Cruz and after that I need Lomachenko.
“I don’t care where [Lomachenko] moves. He can lose his next 10 gevegte, but before my career’s done he has to see me.”
PATRICK HYLAND
(On what gives him the sense of satisfaction in boxing…)
“To fight for the WBC title is everything I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid and all of the hard work that I have put in to get to this position to fight for it. I am happy and I am just living for it now for Saterdag nag.”
(On being the first Irish boxer since Barry McGuigan to hold a featherweight world title…)
“It’s a whirlwind and it’s great. I’m just a local lad from Johnstown in Dublin and to be fighting on the big stage and to be fighting for a major world title, and again to be named the second featherweight ever to win a world title would be just amazing; a real dream come true for myself.”
(On Gary Russell…)
“I know he’s got fast hands. He’s a great southpaw and a great boxer so I have to be at the best of my ability Saterdag night for that. I worked on a game plan in the gym to counter his hand speed and it all has to come together on fight night. I can do all this and say all that, but I just have to perform Saterdag night and put it in by doing everything I’ve worked on to become champion.”
Jose Pedraza
(On training camp…)
“I am feeling really good, we’re in the last stretch of conditioning. It was a very long and intense training camp but we saw improvements in my abilities. I have been waiting a long time for this day to come and we are going to demonstrate to Smith that I am a weapon.
(On Stephen Smith…)
“Smith is a very good boxer, he has a lot of abilities and intelligence. He’s a boxer with very good defense, but we already utilize a variety of strategies to be able to neutralize all of his abilities.”
(On what he plans to demonstrate Saterdag…)
“With my abilities, soos Saterdag, I will demonstrate that I am above Smith and that I am at the level of what I am, a champion. Algehele, I just want to put on a show and I hope that the fan base will enjoy this great card.”
(On what he learned from fighting Edner Cherry…)
“I learned what I have always said and what I have always done to this very day, which is never watching. I never watch too many videos of my opponent because on the day of the fight he could be a completely different fighter and I think that is what occurred then. Aside from that, he utilized a great strategy.”
(On his thoughts on other Puerto Rican boxers…)
“Actually I am a world champion just like Rocky Martinez; there are many Puerto Rican prospects. Like [Felix] Verdejo but I don’t consider him as a world title contender just yet. He hasn’t fought with a boxer of championship caliber but he is currently among the top fighters in Puerto Rico.”
(On other fights he may be interested in at 130 pond…)
“I have always said that the less Puerto Ricans I fight, hoe beter. If it is the last option, I will fight with Puerto Ricans too but aside from that Rocky [Martinez] the world champ, there’s Francisco Vargas, [Javier] Fortune, to name a few that are at the top of my list.”
STEPHEN SMITH
(On his first time fighting in the U.S….)
“Ek is opgewonde. If you want to make a name in boxing, then you’re going to do it in the states and that’s what I plan on doing by becoming a world champion Saturday.”
(On what he knows about Pedraza…)
“Wel, not quite a lot. I know his name from the amateur days. He’s well established, he’s an Olympian and he’s a talented man. To fight somebody consists of winning or not, it goes beyond tactics, beyond style and beyond skillset really. I believe I have what it takes to fight anyone and nothing will keep me from becoming a world champion.”
(On what he needs to do to get the victory…)
“It can be a different type of fight; we know he likes to switch it up and box from different stances. He’s obviously talented so it’s going to take a different set from each way but we know what to expect. I’ve gone over everything with my trainer Joe Gallagher and we’re ready to go.”
(On his brothers Liam and Callum being champions and what it could mean to potentially join them…)
“It’s special. Two weeks ago Liam and Callum won a European world title and it just gives me the confidence, the spirit to hike. I’m in a really good place mentally and I couldn’t be feeling better going into it. After my boot camp going successfully, it just makes you feel better going ahead to become a world champion.”
(On UK champions on the rise in the past year…)
“There’s a lot of history there and for myself and my family, so we do what we’ve always wanted to do and we’re looking to just keep moving forward.”
TRAINER JOE GALLAGHER
(On training camp…)
“It was good. Obviously it boiled up to Callum’s win. There’s a good momentum. Callum and then Stephen has his world title opportunity. It’s been a slow burning rise with Stephen but he’s got, as I call it ‘his World Cup final’ — something that is going to take heart and strength. His strength is going very well. Pedraza is a very good fighter, good orthodox, good southpaw, he can mix it up and we’re prepared for whatever style he wants to bring Saterdag.”
(On the process of preparing for a fighter like Pedraza…)
“It’s a nightmare. It’s hard enough when you’re fighting a quality orthodox or a quality southpaw, of which he is, but not only that. He can also box on the back foot and on the front foot so we’re varying sparring partners, we’re mixing up the sparring in between the rounds, switching stances, and whichever way Pedraza wants to fight at the end of the night, I’m sure we’ll have an answer for.”
(On how he feels the fight will play out…)
“I think that’s all up to Pedraza, looking back at a few of his fights, he boxes slow and gets off to a good start but then he seems to lose his way a little in rounds. When you watch him against [Andrey] Klimov, he started out very well, put him under manners very quickly and had him nearly beat by the fourth round but [Andrey] managed to stay in very well and boxed really well. He got to the middle rounds, lost his way a little bit, switched southpaw, so either way it’s going to be fascinating. We’ve just got to make sure we don’t get caught to early when he’s quick and he’s sharp and he’s trying to put manners in Stephen Smith and then take him into the deep waters like Edner Cherry.”
(His prediction…)
“Stephen Smith. Possibly by knockout. Moenie, definitely by knockout.”

Twice a National Golden Gloves runner up, Russell won the national championship in 2013 and he now looks to follow in the footsteps of his older brother and current 126-pound world champion Gary. A 23-year-old fighting out of Washington, DC, Antonio has won four of his five fights inside of the distance. He faces the 22-year-old Mexican Reyes.
Fighting out of Brooklyn but originally from Esmereldas, Ecuador, Gongora was an Olympian in 2008 en 2012. Sedert die draai pro in 2015, the 26-year-old has picked up four victories, including a fourth-round stoppage of Derrick Adkins in his most recent triumph in January.

“Ek het gewerk op daardie punch vir ses weke,” Bracero said after the fight. “In my laaste stryd, I fought a southpaw and made some mistakes. I specifically worked on that punch because Danny’s a southpaw. I slipped to the side and threw the right. This was the first time I went away to camp, weg van my familie.
“Ek is net so nederig en dankbaar. Ek het geweet hier kom in dat al die druk op hom was (O'Connor); die skare sou probeer om die dier uit te neem van my en het my op die verdediging.
Alles gaan om uit te werk (aangaande sy volgende geveg). I’ll let Tommy Gallagher enLou DiBella take care of my next fight. I’m ready to go right back in the gym.”

Quincy (MA) veergewigtitel Ryan “Die Poolse Prince” Kielczweski (24-1, 7 Uitklophoue), wat twee New England Golden Gloves kampioenskappe by Lowell Memorial Ouditorium gewen, het 'n 10-ronde, hard geveg besluit oor Brooklyn se Rafael “Dinamiet” Vazquez (16-2, 13 Uitklophoue).

Fighter KWOTASIES
GABRIEL BRACERO:
“God seën Danny O'Connor. Hy is 'n kampioen. Net omdat hy vandag verloor hier, Ek het nog tip my hoed af vir hom. Dit neem 'n ware kampioen hier in te kom en te doen wat hy doen. Ek wens hom die beste.
“Dit is 'n ongelooflike gevoel. Die waarheid is, Ek was 'n wenner voor ek gewandel in die ring. Dit is 'n droom wat waar geword. Ek het gedroom oor hierdie dag vir 'n lang tyd. Ek het 'n paar foute in my vorige gevegte, maar ek gaan terug na die tekenbord, het na die kamp, vaste my foute en het in vandag hier super gefokus.
Oor wat hy gesê O'Connor na die stryd…
“My boodskap aan Danny was, ná my laaste stryd, ná my laaste verlies, Ek was af. Ek het deur 'n depressie. Ek het vir hom gesê om nie te laat gebeur om hom te. Om homself terug te haal, trots op homself te wees. Huis toe gaan om sy pragtige vrou en kinders en geniet die lewe. Ek wou nie dieselfde ding gebeur met hom, wat met my gebeur.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN:
“Ek het bewys dat ek kan veg en ek kan punch. Hierdie stryd was 'n voorbeeld van wat ek kan doen.
“Vanaf die tweede ronde geveg ek met twee hande seer. Dit maak nie saak aan my hande, Ek gaan om hom te stop.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI:
“Voor hierdie stryd, Ek het geweet hy kon pons. Ek het gedink ek vermy dit vir die hele stryd, maar in die 10 ronde, Hy het my. Dit het gevoel redelik goed om ontslae geruk vir die eerste keer, net om te weet hoe dit voel.”
“Ek soort van begin stadig af, maar in die middel rondes, Ek het begin om my stoot saam, gooi vier, vyf, ses houe op 'n tyd, en dit is besig. Maar hy het terug gekom en elke keer begin handel met my.
(Aan die gang 10 rondes…)
“Dit is almal dieselfde. Jy is net so moeg na 'n vier-round stryd as jy na ses, eight or 10. You leave it all till the end of the fight. Dit het alles voel dieselfde.
(Op seerkry in die 10….)
“Ek het nie geweet waar my voete was. Dit was 'n vreemde gevoel, Ek het geen idee gehad wat dit voel soos. Hy het my en ek kon sien reguit, maar ek het gevoel myself gaan links en regs.
“He’s a tough guy. I really needed that fight.
“We knew he wasn’t much of a volume pincher. It didn’t surprise us when he came on in the middle rounds.
“Die bloed was nie in my oog. Ek het nie geweet ek is gesny totdat die skeidsregter oor gekom.
“I like to entertain in the ring. I don’t need to do this. I do it because I like to fight and entertain.
“This was my favorite venue to fight in as an amateur. I fought here 10-15 keer as 'n amateur.”
RAFAEL Vazquez:
“Hy was 'n gladde vegter, Hy verhuis en hy het baie mag gehad. Hy was in 'n groot vorm. Hy is jong, Ek sal 38 hierdie jaar. Geen verskoning, Ek verhuis na 126 pond hom in die gesig staar, Ek is 122 pond.
“Ek het gedink ek het die laaste drie rondes. Veral die negende en tiende ronde. Die tiende rondte was groot. Hy verbind miskien tien houe in die hele ronde. Ek het hom geskud. Ek het hom seergemaak. Maar, ons veg in sy tuisdorp, en ek is dankbaar vir hom vir my die geleentheid gee.”

Opbrengs van die undercard VAN PBC OP NBCSN BY LOWELL MEMORIAL ouditorium in LOWELL, MASS.
LOWELL, Mass. (10/9/15) – Op Saterdag nag, Ierse wêreld gegradeerde aanspraakmaker Patrick Hyland (30-1, 14 Uitklophoue) faces David Martinez on the undercard of the PBC on NBCSN event from Lowell, Mass. The fight won’t be shown on television, Hyland beskou hierdie is die belangrikste stryd van sy loopbaan as hy werk sy pad terug in die wêreld titel twis.
Die bout Saterdag night will be the first in a career that dates back to his days as a 9-year-old amateur in Ireland where his trainer, father and best friend Patrick Sr. sal nie in sy hoek. Patrick Sr., beter bekend as Paddy, tragies oorlede in die lente van die jaar. Verlaat die Ierse boks gemeenskap geskok.
“Ek hoor sy stem in die agterkant van my kop elke dag. Elke dag. Veral in die gimnasium al wanneer ek opleiding,” said Hyland Jr.
Die verlies van Hyland se pa het net weke voor Hyland se vrou Lorna het geboorte gegee aan hul eerste kind, Callum, verder bydra tot die betekenis van hierdie stryd.
“I challenged Javier Fortuna for the world championship,” said Hyland. “Ek het die Ierse wêreld titel. Ek het geveg by MGM Grand, die O2 Arena en Madison Square Garden. Vir my al, this is the most important fight of my career. Ek is nie net veg vir my pasgebore seun, maar ek veg om nalatenskap my pa se lewe te hou. Hy het my die man wat ek vandag is en die man wat ek wil my seun eendag. Winning a world title was our dream that we had together. He was always pushing me and my brothers to be the absolute best that we can be, en Ek sal nie ophou totdat ek kry nog 'n kraak in 'n wêreld-titel.”
Die bout Saterdag night will be Hyland’s fourth since the lone loss of his career, 'n hoogs vermaaklike 12-ronde besluit vir die tussentydse veergewigtitel teen nou-verdedigende kampioen super Javier Fortuna veergewigtitel. Following the loss to Fortuna, Hyland was out of action for a year and a half, as hy gesorteer deur promosie kwessies. Hyland onderteken met DiBella Vermaak in Junie van 2014 and has since put together three impressive victories. Hyland believes that he will be knocking on the door to challenge for another world title in 2016.
“Ek het 'n groot span agter my. My bestuurder Brian Peters en promotor Lou DiBella werk hard,” voortgegaan Hyland. “Solank ek voortgaan om te wen en te doen wat ek moet doen, Ek weet hulle sal my die geleentheid kry om myself te bewys en wys dat ek een van die beste 126-ponders in die wêreld. 2016 gaan 'n groot jaar vir my en Ek verwag om weer 'n uitdaging vir 'n stukkie van die veergewigtitel kroon wees.”

Kyk hier wat die deelnemers te sê gehad het Woensdag:
DANNY PUMPKINS
“Dit is alles oor my veg die proses. Gabriel Bracero beat me but I really beat myself. Just like training for this fight, we had a baby son. Two weeks before our first fight, my first son was born and I didn’t know how to separate sport from such life-changing events. Ek was 14-0 en veg op Showtime. We just had a baby boy two weeks before this fight. I want to prove to myself that I can beat this process. Bracero is my redemption!
“Hierdie stryd is my vs. my. The time was right for this fight. I was offered this fight five times during the past few years but the time wasn’t right.
“I was a scared little kid with no experience in our first fight. I couldn’t handle the pressure, I didn’t even know it was there. Nou, I’m a mature man who is a husband and father. I’m a totally different person.
“This fight could be in my living room. I’m at peace in the ring doing what I love to do. It’s great being back in the ring in Lowell, waar ek het die New England Golden Gloves titel en ek veg op die nasionale TV, maar die geval is tussen die vier hoeke en dit is wat regtig tel.”
GABRIEL BRACERO
“Ek is opgewonde. I’ve trained for this fight like I’ve never fought Danny before. I beat him but that was four years ago. I can’t overlook him. He has obviously made improvements and I did also to get where we are today.
“Ek is meer ervare. I moved to train in Orlando and get away from distractions. I hit a few bumps and got incarcerated. Tommy Gallagher (afrigter) saved my lie. He was there when I went to prison and there when I got out. I added a new trainer to our corner, Alexander Lopes, maar Tommy en my pa, Kiro, are still there. Tommy gives the orders and he likes what Lopez has done with me.
“Tommy Gallagher is my guardian angel. He believed in me more than I believed in myself. He had this vision before I did.
“Danny has become a better fighter. Ek kan niks wegneem van hom, maar ek sien uit daarna om om op 'n skouspelagtige vertoning Saterdag nag.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN
“Ek gaan om te maak dit 20-vir-20, Ja! I’m powerful because I make strong moves. My left hook is my best punch. Ek kan die krag deur my hele liggaam voel wanneer ek getref iemand reg.
“Ek is nie bekommerd oor my opponent of wat hy gedoen het in die verlede.
“Lawrence is my home now. I will go back to the Dominican Republic in December for the holidays. I feel like a Bostonian. This is the sixth fight I’ve trained here for and I love the Boston Red Sox.”
DANNY Aquino
“My laaste stryd aangedryf my (ontstel deur 'n besluit oor Ryan Kielczweski). It made me more confident in myself. My laaste stryd was op ESPN en hierdie een is op NBCSN.
“I don’t know too much about my opponent other than he has power that I’ll be looking out for. A win over him should put me in the top 10 en dit is hoekom ek so gemotiveerd vir hierdie stryd.
“Ek het die New England Golden Gloves-kampioenskap in Lowell Memorial ouditorium in 2007.
“Ek oefen hard en ek is altyd in 'n goeie genoeg vorm aan enigiemand te klop.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI
“I like fighting at home and this is one of my favorite venues. I won the New England Golden Gloves there twice.
“Ek het opgelei vir hierdie die moeilikste stryd van my loopbaan wees.
“(Vasquez) is tough with a lot of power. He’s going come forward, maar ek sal in staat wees om uit te-Box hom.
“Hy is in die top gegradeerde 10 van die wêreld en 'n oorwinning moet my terug te sit in die top 10 veg vir 'n wêreld titel binne die volgende jaar.”
RAFAEL Vasquez
“Dit is 'n groot geleentheid vir my. I think this fight will put me on the map fighting on national TV and showing fans what I’ve got.
“Ek is 'n honger, small fighter determined to win. I fight for my wife, Sandra, wat stadium vier kanker en my agt-jarige dogter, Kaline, who has autism. It’s not just me fighting in the ring, it’s the Vasquez family. With God’s grace, enigiets is moontlik.
“Ryan beweeg 'n baie. He uses the ring and boxes. He lost to Aquino and I know he’ll be coming back to prove himself. “
GARY “SPIKE” O'SULLIVAN
“Boston is my second home. I love it here. The people are so nice and there are good gyms.
“Ek is 'n opwindende, vermaaklike vegter wat altyd kom om te veg.
“Nadat ek af Eubanks, Ek sal die No. 1 aanspraakmaker in die WBA en Golovkin kan hou nie my af nie langer.
“I watched a few clips of my opponent. We have identical records. We both knock people out, so I have to be careful. I’d like to get in a few rounds, maar toe ek die mense, hulle val.”
STEPHEN ORMOND
“My first four fights were here in the US. Boston is like my second home. The people are so nice. Boston is a real fight city. I can’t wait for these people to see me in the ring.
“I saw my opponent fight last year in Boston. He’s an experienced guy with a lot of fights. He fought for a world title a long time ago.
“Met Ken Casey agter my, an impressive victory will get me a title shot. I’ll take any of them. Ek was een stryd weg, losing a qualifier. My grandmother passed away the day of my fight. I’m ready now!”

(Oktober 6, 2015) – Die groot Boston vs. New York City sport wedywering voort Saterdag, Oktober 10 in die ring op nasionale televisie met noordooste bragging rights op die lyn as Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) op NBCSN kom by historiese Lowell Memorial ouditorium in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Die Boston tuisspan stuur welterweight Danny “Bhoy” O'Connor (26-2, 10 Uitklophoue) en veergewigtitel Ryan “Die Poolse Prince” Kielczweski (23-1, 7 Uitklophoue), onderskeidelik, teen Brooklyn indringers Gabriel “Tito” Bracero (23-2, 4 Uitklophoue) en Rafael “Dinamiet” Vazquez (16-1, 13 Uitklophoue).

O'Connorwill word op soek na wraak vir 2011 verlies vir die 10-ronde hoofren Braceroin, terwyl Kielczweski gesigte van die moeilikste toets van sy loopbaan versus Vasquez in hul 10-ronde bout om die NBCSN uitsending oopmaak 8 namiddag. EN/5 namiddag. PT.
In die ander geskeduleer televisie stryd, onoorwonne Dominikaanse super kapokgewig KO kunstenaarJonathan “Salomon King” Guzman (19-0, 19 Uitklophoue), veg uit nabygeleë Lawrence (MA), neem op Connecticut se ontsteld-minded Danny Aquino (17-2, 10 Uitklophoue) in die 10-ronde mede-funksie.
Boston vs. New York is 'n klassieke matchup wat oorheers sport nuus in die noordooste vir die jaar as die New York Yankees en Boston Red Sox gevoer talle oorloë terwyl die New England Patriots gekonfronteer die New York Giants in twee Super Bowls en het voortgegaan om hul jarelange wedywering met die nuwe York Jets. Die ryk tradisie van hierdie wedywering het ook oorgespoel na die ring soveel top vegters van elke streek in die gesig gestaar-off oor die jare.
Die eerste beduidende Boston vs. NYC stryd gaan terug na 1927 Yankee Stadium, wanneer Jack Dempsey gestop Jack “Die Boston Gob” Sharkey in die sewende ronde van hul swaargewig titel eliminator om wêreldkampioen te daag Gene Tunney. Controversy surrounded this fight as Sharkey, 'n matroos in die U.S. Navy, geveg sy boks idol, Dempsey, wat saam met Babe Ruth ruled Manhattan during America’s Golden Age of Sports in the 1920s. Sharkey out-boxed Dempsey for six rounds until, kla by die skeidsregter oor Dempsey se lae stoot, hy uitgeslaan koue met 'n foto-perfekte links haak.
Nog legendariese swaargewigkampioen van die Boston area, Rocky Marciano, sou nie afgetree met sy beroemde 49-0 record if one round or another were scored differently against Bronx favorite Roland LaStarza in 1950. Marciano took a questionable 10-round decision from LaStarza at Madison Square Garden. Drie jaar later by die Polo Gronde, Marciano suksesvol verdedig sy wêreld titel, klop LaStarza in die 11steronde van hul 1953 Stryd van die Jaar.
'N paar van Hall of Fame swaargewigte van Brooklyn, Floyd Patterson en “Yster” Mike Tyson, onderskeidelik, uitgeslaan Boston se Tom McNeeley en sy seun, Peter McNeeley. McNeeley dropped Patterson once but he hit the deck 11 keer voordat uiteindelik toegee in die vierde ronde van hul 1961 title fight in Toronto. His son, Peter, verloor deur die eerste ronde diskwalifikasie om Tyson wat veg vir die eerste sedert hy uit die tronk vrygelaat.
'N Brandweerman van Boston met bros hande, Paul Pender, twee keer verslaan waarskynlik die konsensus grootste van alle-time, Harlem se “Sugar” Ray Robinson, nie een keer, maar twee keer deur 15-ronde verdeel besluite in 1960 wêreld middelgewigtitel veg by die Boston Tuin.
“Wonderlike” Marvin Hagler, 'n oorgeplant New Jersey vegter wat in Marciano se tuisdorp van Brockton geleef, Massa., voel afgeruk toe hy was 'n trekking in sy eerste wêreldtitel stryd teen Brooklyn se verdedigende kampioen Vito Antuofermo in Las Vegas. Twee jaar later in 1981, Hagler gevang die gesogte kroon op die Boston Tuin as Antuofermo afgetree ná vier rondes.
Selfs Lowell se “Ierse” Micky Ward het 'n New York City mededinger in Brooklyn se Zab Juda, who he dropped a hard-fought 12-round decision to in 1998. For many years Judah said Ward was the toughest opponent he ever fought.
Meer onlangs, Ierse Olimpiese Kevin McBride, veg uit die artikel Dorchester van Boston, geëindig loopbaan Tyson se 2005 met 'n sesde ronde TKO oorwinning wat die wêreld verlaat boks in skok, en Boston swaargewig John Ruiz – die enigste Latino swaargewigkampioen van die wêreld – het 'n 2008 veg in Mexiko teen Harlem se Jameel McCline 12-ronde besluit in 'n wêreld titel eliminator.
Op Oktober 10, O'Connor, Bracero, Kielczweski en Vazquez sal hul geleentheid om nie net hul tuisdorpe verteenwoordig het, maar om hulself te ets in die annale van die wedywering.
