VERONA, NY (Agosto 13, 2016) – Undefeated rising contender Miguel Flores (21-0, 9 KO) defeated exciting featherweight contender Ryan Kielczweski (25-2, 7 KO) con decisione unanime (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) nel main event 10 round di Premier Boxing Champions su ESPN e ESPN dal Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
In an action-packed fight during which both fighters threw over 750 punzoni, the Houston native Flores was slightly more fluid and able to do enough work on the inside to keep his unblemished record intact.
Flores ha detto, “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 ugás (16-3, 7 KO) defeating contender Jamal James (20-1, 9 KO) con decisione unanime (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. Tuttavia, Ugas showed no sign of ring rust il Venerdì 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 Jamesheight advantage.
We focused on the body because (Giacomo) was tall,” disse Ugas. “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 ‘noto taking this fight. But fighting is what I do. Other fighters are not doing what I did tonight. Si Certamente, 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.
Nel suo recente campo di addestramento…
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, Edoardo Bennato, have been pushing me really hard. Together as a team, we will be ready to shine questo Venerdì.”
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, quindi per me, he could easily be an undefeated fighter. Con questo detto, 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. Io non sono preoccupato. I just want to put on a great show, win this fight and capture all his fans in the process.

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

 

Stasera event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during stasera 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. Dalla prima campana, il Washington, D.C. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. Russell, un mancino, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., che migliora il suo record di 27 vittorie, one loss, 15 ko.

 

“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 libbre. 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 stasera and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

Pedraza (22-0, 12 KO) 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 stasera. 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 stasera with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,", Ha detto 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, atterraggio 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 ha ospitato la trasmissione televisiva SHOWTIME, con Mauro Ranallo chiamando l'azione, Hall of Fame analista Al Bernstein e l'ex campione del mondo due volte Paulie Malignaggi commentating e Jim Gray segnalazione. Nel simulcast spagnolo, Alejandro Luna chiamato il blow-by-blow e l'ex campione del mondo Raul Marquez servito come commentatore di colore. Il produttore esecutivo di Showtime Championship Boxing è stato David Dinkins Jr. con Bob Dunphy orientamento.

NEW YORK (Aprile 13, 2016) – WBC Featherweight Champion Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 KO), di Capitol Heights, Md., and Irish contender Patrick Hyland (31-1, 15 KO), of Dublin, faced off at the final press conference Mercoledì at Highline Ballroom in New York, as they approach questo Sabato Featherweight World Title fight live on ORARIO DELLO SPETTACOLO® from the Fox Theater in Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
Il Showtime Championship Boxing® telecast begins live at 11 p.m. E/8 p.m. PT on SHOWTIME with IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship clash between unbeaten Puerto Rican Jose Pedraza (21-0, 12 KO) and mandatory challenger Stephen Smith (23-1, 13 KO), of Liverpool, Inghilterra.
Here’s what the fighters had to say at Mercoledì final press conference.
Gary Russell JR.
(On Patrick Hyland…)
“Innanzitutto, 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. Lui è alto, he’s long, but we can take him. We’re going to handle it.
(On returning from injury…)
“Mi sento bene. Sono pronto; I put the work in at the gym. Come ho detto prima, I got cussed out several times and sometimes I left the gym feeling like the worst fighter ever. Ma, proprio adesso, 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. Non vedo l'ora. 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 Squadra olimpica. 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 Aprile 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 combattimenti, 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 Sabato notte.”
(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 il Sabato 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 il Sabato 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 il Sabato…)
With my abilities, come Sabato, I will demonstrate that I am above Smith and that I am at the level of what I am, a champion. Generale, 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 libbre…)
I have always said that the less Puerto Ricans I fight, il meglio. 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] Fortuna, to name a few that are at the top of my list.
STEPHEN SMITH
(On his first time fighting in the U.S….)
“Sono emozionato. 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)
“Bene, 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 il Sabato.”
(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. Non, definitely by knockout.

Tutto sta andando a lavorare fuori (per quanto riguarda il suo prossimo combattimento). I’ll let Tommy Gallagher eLou DiBella take care of my next fight. I’m ready to go right back in the gym.

CITAZIONI FIGHTER

“E 'una sensazione incredibile. La verità è, Ero un vincitore prima ho camminato sul ring. Questo è un sogno che si avvera. Ho sognato questo giorno da molto tempo. Ho fatto alcuni errori nelle mie lotte precedenti, ma sono tornato al tavolo da disegno, è andato al campo, fissa i miei errori ed è venuto qui oggi super-concentrato.
Su quello che ha detto O'Connor dopo la lotta…
“Il mio messaggio per Danny è stato, dopo la mia ultima battaglia, dopo la mia ultima perdita, Ero giù. Sono andato con una depressione. Gli ho detto di non lasciare che accada a lui. Per tirarsi indietro, di essere orgoglioso di se stesso. Per tornare a casa alla sua bella moglie e figli e godersi la vita. Non volevo che la stessa cosa accada a lui, quello che è successo a me.”

RYAN Kielczweski:
“Prima di questa lotta, Sapevo che poteva colpire. Pensavo evitato per tutta la lotta, ma nel 10 ° round, lui mi ha preso. Mi sentivo abbastanza bene per essere scosso per la prima volta, solo per sapere come ci si sente.”
“I tipi di iniziato lento, ma nelle fasi intermedie, Ho iniziato a mettere insieme i miei pugni, gettando quattro, cinque, sei pugni alla volta e stava funzionando. Ma è tornato ogni volta e ha iniziato a fare trading con me.
(In corso 10 round…)

(Su farsi male nel 10 °….)
“Non sapevo dove i miei piedi erano. E 'stata una sensazione strana, Non avevo idea di cosa che sentivo come. Lui mi ha preso e ho potuto vedere direttamente, ma mi sentivo di andare a destra ea sinistra.
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.
“Il sangue non era nel mio occhio. Non sapevo che stavo tagliato fino a quando l'arbitro è venuto.
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 volte come un dilettante.”
RAFAEL VAZQUEZ:
“Era un combattente chiazza di petrolio, si trasferisce e aveva un grande potere. Era in gran forma. E 'giovane, Sarò 38 quest'anno. Niente scuse, Mi sono trasferito a 126 libbre per affrontarlo, Sono 122 libbre.
“Ho pensato che ho vinto le ultime tre gare. Soprattutto il nono e decimo round. Il decimo round era grande. Ha forse collegato dieci pugni in tutto l'. L'ho cullato. Ho fatto male. Ma, stiamo combattendo nella sua città natale, e sono grato a lui per avermi dato l'opportunità.”

A SEGUITO DELLA tragica perdita di suo padre e TRAINER CONTENDER irlandese Patrick HYLAND TRASPORTA il cuore pesante come egli guarda a trovare conforto sul ring il SABATO SERA

RITORNI sul undercard di PBC ON NBCSN A Lowell Memorial Auditorium a Lowell, MASSA.
LOWELL, Massa. (10/9/15) – Di Sabato notte, Irlandese contendente mondo-rated Patrick Hyland (30-1, 14 KO) faces David Martinez on the undercard of the PBC on NBCSN event from Lowell, Massa. The fight won’t be shown on television, Hyland vede questa è la lotta più importante della sua carriera mentre lavora la strada per tornare in lizza per il titolo mondiale.
L'incontro il Sabato 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. non sarà nel suo angolo. Patrick Sr., meglio conosciuto come Paddy, tragicamente scomparso nella primavera di quest'anno. Lasciando la comunità irlandese di boxe scioccato.
“Sento la sua voce nella parte posteriore della mia testa ogni giorno. Ogni giorno. Soprattutto in palestra anche se quando mi alleno,” said Hyland Jr.
La perdita del padre di Hyland è venuto poche settimane prima la moglie di Hyland Lorna ha dato alla luce il loro primo figlio, Callum, aggiungendo inoltre il significato di questa lotta.
I challenged Javier Fortuna for the world championship,” said Hyland. “Ho vinto il titolo mondiale irlandesi. Ho combattuto al MGM Grand, la O2 Arena e il Madison Square Garden. Per me però, this is the most important fight of my career. Non solo sto combattendo per il mio figlio neonato, ma sto lottando per tenere viva l'eredità di mio padre. Mi ha fatto l'uomo che sono oggi e l'uomo che voglio che mio figlio un giorno diventare. 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, e non si fermerà finché non avrò un altro crack a un titolo mondiale.”
L'incontro il Sabato night will be Hyland’s fourth since the lone loss of his career, un 12-round decisione molto divertente per il titolo ad interim piuma contro la società-campione in carica super-piuma Javier Fortuna. Following the loss to Fortuna, Hyland was out of action for a year and a half, come ha risolto attraverso temi promozionali. Hyland firmato con DiBella Entertainment nel giugno del 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.
“Ho una grande squadra dietro di me. Il mio manager Brian Peters e promotore Lou DiBella stanno lavorando sodo,” continua Hyland. “Finché continuo a vincere e fare quello che devo fare, So che mi avranno l'opportunità di mettermi alla prova e dimostrare che io sono uno dei migliori 126 libbre in tutto il mondo. 2016 sarà un grande anno per me e mi aspetto di essere ancora una volta una sfida per un pezzo della corona piuma.”

Vedi qui ciò che i partecipanti dovevano dire Mercoledì:
Danny O'Connor
“Questo è tutto su di me combattere il processo. 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. Ero 14-0 e combattere su 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!
“Questa lotta è contro di me. me. 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. Ora, 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, dove ho vinto il titolo del New England Guanti d'oro e io sto combattendo sulla TV nazionale, ma l'evento è tra i quattro angoli ed è ciò che conta davvero.”
GABRIEL Bracero
“Sono emozionato. 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.
“Io sono più esperto. I moved to train in Orlando and get away from distractions. I hit a few bumps and got incarcerated. Tommy Gallagher (allenatore) 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, Alessandro Lopes, ma Tommy e mio padre, 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. Non posso togliere nulla da lui, ma non vedo l'ora di mettere su uno spettacolo spettacolare Sabato notte.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN
“Ho intenzione di renderlo 20-for-20, di si! I’m powerful because I make strong moves. My left hook is my best punch. Riesco a sentire il potere attraverso il mio corpo quando ho colpito qualcuno a destra.
“Non mi preoccupo del mio avversario o quello che ha fatto in passato.
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
“La mia ultima battaglia mi ha spinto (sconvolto da decisione su Ryan Kielczweski). It made me more confident in myself. La mia ultima battaglia era su ESPN e questo è il 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 ed è per questo che sono così motivato per questa lotta.
“Ho vinto il New England Golden Gloves campionato in Lowell Memorial Auditorium in 2007.
“Mi alleno duramente e sono sempre in buona forma sufficiente per battere chiunque.”
RYAN Kielczweski
I like fighting at home and this is one of my favorite venues. I won the New England Golden Gloves there twice.
“Mi sono allenato per questo per essere la lotta più dura della mia carriera.
“(Vasquez) is tough with a lot of power. He’s going come forward, ma sarò in grado di farlo fuori-box.
“Ha valutato tra i primi 10 del mondo e una vittoria dovrebbe mettermi di nuovo nella top 10 lottare per un titolo mondiale entro il prossimo anno.”
RAFAEL VASQUEZ
“Questa è una grande opportunità per me. I think this fight will put me on the map fighting on national TV and showing fans what I’ve got.
“Sono un affamato, small fighter determined to win. I fight for my wife, Sandra, che ha fase-quattro cancro e la mia di otto anni, figlia, Kaline, who has autism. It’s not just me fighting in the ring, it’s the Vasquez family. With God’s grace, tutto è possibile.
“Ryan si muove un sacco. 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.
“Sono un emozionante, combattente divertente che viene sempre a combattere.
“Dopo aver finito fuori Eubanks, Sarò il No. 1 concorrente nel WBA e Golovkin non può tenere fuori di me più a lungo.
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, ma quando ho colpito la gente, cadono.”
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.
“Con Ken Casey dietro di me, an impressive victory will get me a title shot. I’ll take any of them. Ero una lotta di distanza, losing a qualifier. My grandmother passed away the day of my fight. I’m ready now!”

Boston vs. New York è un matchup classico che ha dominato i titoli sportivi nel nord-est per anni come i New York Yankees e Boston Red Sox combattuta innumerevoli guerre, mentre i New England Patriots di fronte i New York Giants in due Super Bowls e continuarono la loro rivalità di lunga data con il nuovo York Jets. La ricca tradizione di questa rivalità ha versato sul ring come molti combattenti migliori di ogni regione hanno affrontato-off nel corso degli anni.
Il primo significativo Boston vs. NYC lotta risale al 1927 allo Yankee Stadium, quando Jack Dempsey fermato Jack “Il Boston Gob” Sharkey nel settimo round del loro eliminatore titolo dei pesi massimi di sfidare il campione del mondo Gene Tunney. Controversy surrounded this fight as Sharkey, un marinaio nel U.S. Marina, combattuto il suo idolo boxe, Dempsey, che insieme a Babe Ruth ruled Manhattan during America’s Golden Age of Sports in the 1920s. Sharkey out-boxed Dempsey for six rounds until, lamentarsi con l'arbitro di pugni bassi di Dempsey, è stato eliminato a freddo con un gancio sinistro immagine perfetta.
Un altro campione dei pesi massimi leggendario della zona di Boston, Rocky Marciano, non avrebbe ritirato con il suo famoso 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. Tre anni più tardi, al Polo Grounds, Marciano ha difeso con successo il suo titolo mondiale, battendo Lastarza nel 11thround della loro 1953 Fight of the Year.
Un paio di Hall of Fame pesi massimi da Brooklyn, Floyd Patterson e “Ferro” Mike Tyson, rispettivamente, eliminato Boston Tom McNeeley e suo figlio, Peter McNeeley.

“Meraviglioso” Marvin Hagler, un combattente New Jersey trapiantato che viveva nella città natale di Marciano di Brockton, Mass., sentito derubato quando è stato dato un pareggio nella sua prima lotta per il titolo mondiale contro il campione in carica di Brooklyn Vito Antuofermo a Las Vegas. Due anni dopo, nel 1981, Hagler catturato la corona ambita al Garden di Boston come Antuofermo in pensione dopo quattro turni.
Anche Lowell di “Irlandese” Micky Ward aveva un rivale di New York a Brooklyn di Zab Judah, 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.
Più di recente, Irish Olympian Kevin McBride, combattimento da parte di Dorchester a Boston, conclusa la carriera di Tyson in 2005 con una vittoria TKO sesto turno che ha lasciato il mondo della boxe in stato di shock, e Boston pesi massimi John Ruiz – l'unico campione Latino mondiale dei pesi massimi – vinse un 2008 combattere in Messico contro il Harlem di Jameel McCline da 12-round decisione in un eliminatore titolo mondiale.
