Die 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. “Ierse” Micky Ward 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).

“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, in en uit van die ring, 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 Bernard Dunne will celebrate the ninth anniversary of his WBA super bantamweight title-winning performance, See. 21, 2009, the same date as the USA-Ireland Northeaster Boxing Tour stop in Manchester.

Springfield has had a long history in boxing. The Golden Gloves were held in Holyoke, one city over from Springfield, vir 50 years before coming here.

Boxing represents life; how to conduct themselves in and out of the ring.

Boxing is determined by judges and, in life, you are judged by how you live by laws. Life values are taught through boxing.

2018 USA vs. Ierland Noordooste Boxing Tour:
See. 12 Boston, See. 15 Springfield, See. 21 Manchester, NH

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

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Februarie 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, ironies, those two squads will compete in three friendly duals next month on the 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Tour.
A 1988 Ireland Olympian, Walsh coached the Irish Team from 2003 te 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 Maart 12 by Royale Entertainment Complex Boston se, followed by match-ups on Maart 15 by die Mass Mutual Sentrum in Springfield, Massa., and Manchester, NH will close out tours onMaart 21 by The Manchester Downtown Hotel. Boks sal begin by 7:00 namiddag. EST in al drie stede.

Tickets for any of these events may be purchased online at http://go.teamusa.org/2nX3Vjc. Elke stad sal ten toon te stel tot 12 eindig, each to be live-streamed, verniet, op die webwerf VSA Boks se (www.usaboxing.org).

“Aan die einde van die dag,” 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, te. 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, natuurlik, is known for being Irish friendly, om die minste te sê. The Mayor of Boston, for example, is 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, sowel. I’m looking forward to going to all three cities on this tour.”
Rosters for the USA and Irish teams will soon be announced.

“Fightin’ Ierse” boxing history
Rich in Boston
COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Februarie 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ Ierse” 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, na die 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 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour kicks-off Maandag, Maart 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 (Maandag, Februarie. 12) by 12 namiddag.

The tradition started back in the 19ste century with “The Boston Strongboy,” John. L. Sullivan (Roxbury, MA), 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 van 38 pro gevegte, 30 coming by knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, Jake Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 Uitklophoue), 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 19ste and beginning of the 20ste centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 Uitklophoue), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 Uitklophoue), and Charlestown welterweight Mike “Twin” Sullivan(28-6-16, 17 Uitklophoue), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 Uitklophoue)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “Ierse” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 Uitklophoue) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimmy Carter, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, egter, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight Tom McNeeley (37-14, 28 Uitklophoue), 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 Uitklophoue) famously was stopped in the opening round by “Yster” 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. In 1984, Ireland-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 Uitklophoue), 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 Warrior” Collins (25-2-1, 18 Uitklophoue) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody en Pat Petronelli, who handled Wonderlike 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.
Collins’ younger brother, Packie Collins, also moved to Brockton to fight. He later worked with Irish heavyweight champion Kevin “The Clones Colossus” McBride (35-10-1, 29 Uitklophoue), 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, onderskeidelik, in 1988 en 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, Wayne “Pocket Rocket” McCullough (27-7, 18 Uitklophoue), 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 “Ierse” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 Uitklophoue), 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 “Spike” O'Sullivan and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “Power” Doheny (18-0, 13 Uitklophoue), as well as undefeated rising stars such as “Sting” Ray Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion Niall Kennedy (10-0, 6 Uitklophoue).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.
Headlining Team USA’s roster is 2017 World Championship brons medalje Troy Isley(Alexandria, VA). USA Boxing’s team will also include Virginia Fuchs (Kemah, Texas), who won four international gold medals in 2017, 2016 Jeug wêreldkampioen en 2017 Elite Continental Kampioenskappe silwer medalje, delante Johnson (Cleveland, OH), 2017 USA Boxing Heavyweight National Champion Jared Anderson (Toledo, OH) en 2016 Jeug Wêreldkampioenskap brons medalje en 2017 VSA Boks Super Swaargewig Nasionale Kampioen, Richard Torrez (Tulare, SOOS).
