Fightin’ Ирската” boxing history
Rich in Boston
COLORADO SPRINGS, Лап. (Февруари 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ Ирската” 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, по 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 САД наспроти. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour kicks-off Понеделник, Март 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 (Понеделник, Февруари. 12) на 12 вечер.

The tradition started back in the 19та century with The Boston Strongboy,” Џон. L. Sullivan (Roxbury, М-р), 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 на 38 про тепачки, 30 coming by knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, Џејк Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 КО), 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 19та and beginning of the 20та centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 КО), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 КО), and Charlestown welterweight Мајк “TwinSullivan(28-6-16, 17 КО), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 КО)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “Ирската” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 КО) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimими Картер, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, Меѓутоа, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight Том McNeeley (37-14, 28 КО), unsuccessfully fought for the world title in 1961, stopped in the fourth round of his Toronto fight versus defending champion Флојд Петерсон, and McNeeley’s son, Boston-native and later Medfield resident Петар “Ураганот” McNeeley (47-7, 30 КО) famously was stopped in the opening round by “Железо” Мајк Тајсон 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. Во 1984, Ireland-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 КО), who had moved to the Dorchester section of Boston, lost a 15-round decision in Madison Square Garden to Мајк глобално ниво for the World Boxing Association (ВБА) Super Middleweight World Championship.
Стив “Celtic WarriorCollins (25-2-1, 18 КО) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody и Pat Petronelli, who handled Прекрасни Марвин 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 Кевин “The Clones ColossusMcBride (35-10-1, 29 КО), 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, Били Волш, at the European Games. Both were also Ireland Olympians, соодветно, во 1988 и 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, WaynePocket RocketMcCullough (27-7, 18 КО), 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 (Земјите од Западен Балкан) bantamweight title at Hynes Convention Center, by way of a 12-round split decision to Даниел Сарагоса.
Arguably the most famous and popular Irish-American boxer, outside of Sullivan and Џек Демпси, is Lowell junior welterweight “Ирската” Мики Вард (38-13, 27 КО), who was involved in three Fight of the Year award winners, two from his epic trilogy with Артуро Гати, 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 Гери “Спајк” О'Саливен and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “Моќ” Doheny (18-0, 13 КО), as well as undefeated rising stars such as StingRay Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion Niall Kennedy (10-0, 6 КО).

Is USA Boxing Nationals Champion Jared Anderson America’s next great heavyweight?

COLORADO SPRINGS, Колорадо (Декември 21, 2017) – Christmas came early for Jared Anderson, who not only won the heavyweight title at the recent USA Boxing National Championships, the 18-year-old also captured the Most Outstanding Boxer Award in the Elite Division.
Seeded No. 7 in an eight-boxer field at The Nationals, Anderson, in order, defeated No. 2 Jesus Flores во колото за отворање, 5-0, edged No. 3 Adrian Tillman во полуфиналето, 3-2, and upset five-time national champion Cam F. Awesome, 5-0, во шампионатот финалето.
In USA Boxing’s most recently listed heavyweight ratings (Ноември. 17, 2017), Tillman and Awesome are ranked No. 1 и 2, соодветно, Flores is No. 5, and Anderson is unranked.
I think that’s going to change,” Anderson noted. “Winning the heavyweight title and Most Outstanding Boxing Award meant the world to me. Maybe some people had never heard of me, but I’ve been boxing since I was eight, and I’ve faced a lot of different styles.
I had a vendetta going with Tillman and, instead of boxing, I tried to take his head off. Simple work allowed me to beat Awesome. He is a good fighter. Cam does what he wants in the ringthrows jabs, sits there and builds up pointsand intimidates some opponents. I took the fight to him. Not wild, иако, because he’d have been there in the ring, calm and smiling, and I would have lost. I used my jab more than anything against him.
One of 11 siblings in two households, Anderson is another USA Boxing success story. Growing up in Toledo, Охајо, Anderson was constantly getting into trouble in school and boxing eventually saved him. His mother convinced her son to meet a local boxing coach, who introduced Jared to boxing, drilling discipline into him, something Jared desperately needed at that point in his young life.
Boxing in Toledo has also aided his overall development in boxing. “We push each other,” Anderson explained. “We support each other and perfect our crafts. There’s a lot of support here at all the gyms in Toledo.
Anderson represented Team USA at this past August’s 2017 Bradenburg Cup in Frankfurt, Германија, at which Anderson won the heavyweight title, as well as the Most Outstanding Boxer Award, which should have been a warning for other leading U.S. велесили.
As a young boxer, Anderson admired three legends who were all products of USA Boxing, U.S. Olympians and Olympic medal winners: 1. Шугар Реј Леонард – “Брзо раце, брзина, a phenomenal boxer.” 2. Evander Холифилд – “A warrior who could bang or box. Moved up successfully from cruiserweight to heavyweight.” 3.Мухамед Али — “Not just because he was a great boxer, but more so because of his life.
Во моментов, Anderson stand 6′ 2 and weighs 200 lbs., but he’s only 18 and should continue growing even larger. На крајот на краиштата, he wants to be heavyweight champion of the world, but Jared does have a plan.
I want to stay as active as possible next year, competing in tournaments, and turn pro but not until after the (2020) Олимписки игри,” Anderson concluded. “I’m not turning pro until after the (2020) Олимписки игри. I want to win a gold medal, turn pro and win the world heavyweight title, so I can move my mother out of the ‘hood.
Remember the name, boxing fans, Jared Anderson has the potential to be America’s next great heavyweight.
