科羅拉多斯普林斯, 膝部. (二月 26, 2019) – USA Boxing Alumni Association’s tribute this past weekend to two of New England’s all-time greatest amateur boxers, **Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Paz** 和 **“愛爾蘭的” 米奇沃德**, was a major success at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, 羅得島.

A sold-out fundraiser to benefit the USA Boxing Alumni Association was held at Fred & Steve’s Steakhouse on Friday evening, honoring Paz and Ward, in addition to Hall of Fame referee **史蒂夫·斯莫傑**, who officiated numerous fights for both fighters.

Paz and Ward held a meet-and-greet Saturday night, prior to a CES Boxing event, as the popular boxers signed autographs and posed for pictures. They were brought into the ring, along with Smoger, and received a standing applause from the large crowd in attendance.

USA Boxing Alumni Association’s back-to-back nights at Twin River raised $3,000 (including proceeds from Sportsworld’s memorabilia auction) and added 20 new alumni members, including Paz, to its growing ranks.

“We were part of a magical weekend,” 說 **Al Valenti**, USA Boxing Special Projects Consultant. “Vinny and Micky greeted so many of their fans. It is without question that these two warriors define what the USA Boxing Alumni Association is all about: bringing together so many members from so many years past that built the future for so many young boxers. It was especially rewarding to see past boxers, coaches and officials flock to Vinny and Micky. The entire two-day experience at Twin River Casino was packed with memories that we will all hold onto for years to come. We’d like to thank **吉米·伯奇菲爾德** (CES拳擊) for his hospitality and hosting Saturday evening’s event.”

**IN MELROSE, 馬薩諸塞州**

**在出售門票現在** WWW.MURPHYSBOXING.COM

波士頓, 馬薩諸塞州 (二月 26, 2019):

**墨菲拳擊** is proud to announce the return of junior middleweight contender and fan favorite, **格雷格代蒂** (20-3-1, 12 科斯) 誰將會採取 **曼尼·伍茲** (16-8-1, 6 科斯) 在週五, March 29th at **Memorial Hall** 在 **梅爾羅斯**, **馬薩諸塞州** 在 10 輪的較量.

我賣, who last summer pulled off a massive upset against former world title challenger,**Yoshihiro Kamegai** 上 **ESPN2**, found himself in the Top 10 rankings and was offered the chance to fight France’s **米歇爾·索羅** 為 **WBA Interim Super Welterweight Championship** in Paris this past December.

‘The Villain’, who was on an incredible **16 fight winning streak**, came up short in his first shot at a title but is looking to get back in the winning column in front of his hometown fans at Memorial Hall in a tough match up against upset specialist, **曼尼·伍茲**.

“Despite the loss, 2018 was an amazing year for me. 我打 5 times and I had the biggest win of my career as a B-side against Kamegai which landed me in the Top 10. We were offered the Soro fight for the Interim world title and even though I felt like my body needed some time off, you can’t say no to that kind of opportunity. You never know when or if it will come again.”, explains the Stoneham, 馬薩諸塞州本土.

“It was a rough camp. I trained too hard. My body was falling apart. As for the fight, it was an ugly knockout but that’s part of the game. I’m proud of how I handled it. No shame. No embarrassment. I wasn’t phased by it. Of course I wasn’t happy about it but my first thought was what do we do to get better? The fight showed me I have to get sharper. Continue to be aggressive but be smarter and more tactical about it. It was only one battle in a long war.”

As for taking on a seasoned veteran like Woods when he could have easily asked for a tune up, Vendetti shows the attitude that has made him such a fan favorite.

“I like to fight and wanted to be in a real fight in my return. Knocking out a ham and egger in the first round isn’t enjoyable for me or the fans. It’s a waste of a camp and a weight cut not to mention you don’t learn anything. Woods is a durable, legit guy who is coming to win. That’s what I need and want.”

And after going 50/50 against against world class opposition last year, would Vendetti be willing to take on a top 10 fighter again in 2019?

“100%. I want to make a statement against Woods then keep improving with each fight. I don’t want to take any steps back with the opposition. Everything forward. As long as I’m healthy, I will fight anyone in the division.”

在合作的主要事件, fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate and Massachusetts fan favorite, **瑞安Kielczweski** (29-4, 11 科斯) will take on an opponent to be named in an 8 round contest in the lightweight division.

‘The Polish Prince’ is coming off his show stealing back and forth battle with **Tommy Coyle** at TD Garden in Boston this past October on the undercard of the **德米特里安德拉德** WBO world middleweight title fight.

Despite dropping the decision, Kielczweski, who hails from Quincy, 馬薩諸塞州, showed world class talent and massive heart in an all out war that had the arena crowd on it’s feet.

Also featured on the card will be the most recent addition to Murphys Boxing’s growing roster, **邁克·阿嫻JR.** (8-0, 5 科斯).

The son of a popular New England area professional fighter in the 1990s, Ohan Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps going **82-10** in the amateurs and picking up multiple **新英格蘭金手套** 冠軍.

Fighting a remarkable 8 在次 2 years and upping the competition level in each outing, including a unanimous decision over veteran, **丹尼爾·索斯特（Daniel Sostre）** in his last fight, Ohan has been on the fast track as a professional. The impressive win lead to the young fighter, who hails from Holbrook, 馬薩諸塞州, being offered a contract with Murphys Boxing.

“I am beyond excited to be a part of the Murphys Boxing family.”, says Ohan, JR. who will fight an opponent to be named in a 6 round bout on the card.

“Being with such an active promotional company will give me the opportunity to grow as a fighter and showcase my skills as I move towards my dream of one day being a world champion.”

In addition to the three headlining local favorites, the card will feature a 4 round super lightweight women’s bout between **Jillian DiAuto** (1-1, 1 KO) 和 **薩拉請點擊** (0-1-1), as well as the east coast debut of Venezuelan super lightweight sensation, **路易斯ARCON** (5-0, 5 科斯) who will take on an opponent to be named in a 6 輪的較量.

3 more undercard bouts will be announced shortly to kick off the night at the beloved throwback venue which has become a mainstay of Murphys Boxing.

“Memorial Hall is my favorite fight venue.”, says Ken Casey, 墨菲拳擊的創始人.

“It gets incredibly loud in there when Greg fights and with the bowl seating, it feels like a mini coliseum.”

我賣, who will be making his 7th appearance at the always sold out venue, couldn’t agree more with his promoter.

“It’s intense. I really do feel like a gladiator fighting in a coliseum when I’m at Memorial Hall and for a gladiator there’s only two options… victory or death.”

CHAMPION ‘KILLA’ KAM ARNOLD – ‘I WANT A BLOODBATH’

二月 26, 2019 FNU47 發表評論

新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) bantamweight champion “Killa” Kam Arnold has been perfect so far in his mixed martial arts (MMA) 事業, carving out a flawless 4-0 record with four knockouts since he debuted in the promotion just over a year and a half ago

四月 27^日, the 135-pound “King in the North” makes his highly anticipated return to the cage when he is scheduled to defend his title against longtime bantamweight mainstay, Henry Clark (5-4).

Arnold recently joined Jason Floyd onThe MMA Report podcast to discuss his origins in the sport, his reign at the top of the New England 135-pound division, and his goals for the future.

“I fell in love with combat sports at a very young age, mostly boxing,” Arnold explained to Floyd. “I was the youngest of all boys. I grew up in a pretty rough family, and I had to be tough growing up, and my love for combat sports came into the fold. I also played hockey as a kid, so I had a physical upbringing. And I also wrestled when I was in school and it transformed into this. I never thought I was going to be doing MMA as a kid, although I loved it.

“I hit rock bottom when I was a young teen,” Arnold continued. “I hit rock bottom, and my mother came from out-of-state and picked me up, and we moved to Lewiston [緬因]. And I always swore to myself as a kid I’d never move there because I thought it was the worst place in the world. But it was actually the best move I ever made in my entire life.”

When Arnold’s parents—whom he credits for “making me the man I am today”–brought him to his adopted hometown of Lewiston, 緬因, he also found a gym family at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (CMBJJ) where he has started training under longtime NEF veterans Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-7) and former NEF flyweight champion Dustin Veinott (5-4).

“I’m trying to become a whole complete martial artist,” Arnold stated. “I’m not trying to be known as just this brawler that’s going to go out there and bang with anybody.”

“Bang,” 然而, is exactly what Arnold did in April 2018 when he knocked out David Thompson at “NEF 33: Riptide” in a lighting fast 11-seconds.

“I mean yeah, it was a hell of a knockout highlight reel,” Arnold confessed. “But I’ve been doing that my whole life, man.”

“We were working that overhand right, we knew that was going to be there right from the beginning,” Arnold continued. “I spoke it into existence and that’s exactly what happened. I cracked him with a jab, I saw his head snap back, and then as he’s coming in, he’s coming in very aggressive, he dropped his hand, he’s coming in for an upper cut and he left his chin right on a shelf for me.”

Arnold solidified his position at the top of the New England bantamweight division in June 2018 at “NEF 34: Home of the Brave” when he defeated Killian Murphy (1-2) via fourth-round knockout to become the NEF bantamweight champion. Despite a back and forth battle that brought the crowd to its feet that night, and the culminating moment he landed the knockout punch that iced the win for him, Arnold looks back and still sees room for improvement.

“I just haven’t been able to find that perfect fight, 我猜,” Arnold pondered. “A lot of people would point to Killian Murphy maybe being that fight for me, but in my eyes that was a very poor performance for myself. I kept my hands very low for a reason, and a lot of people said, ‘Oh, you looked tired.’ If I was so tired, I wouldn’t have knocked him out in the fourth round. I kept my hands low for a reason because of his wrestling ability. And people seem to forget that I used to wrestle too, and I outwrestled him that whole fight. But I was still upset that I shouldn’t have been able to take that many shots as I did with Killian. I should have put him out earlier in the fight.

“It’s hard to get the perfect fight,” Arnold continued. “I talk to other people about it and they’re like, “Dude, it’s so hard.” Even guys that have been fighting for 10, 15 years they’re like, “It’s so hard to find that perfect fight.” Because I was like, “Man, is there something wrong with me? I feel disappointed in myself after a win.”

So what does Arnold want out of one of his fights in order to walk away satisfied?

“I want to have a bloodbath,” he admitted. “I want to split somebody wide open, have a doctor stoppage, because I’m beating somebody so badly. I love seeing people’s eyes roll in the back of their heads, I like making people stiff as a board.”

Currently still competing as an amateur, Arnold is already being discussed as a future threat in the professional bantamweight division. Before he turns pro, 然而, he has plans set to defend his title on April 27^日 against a very experienced and crafty veteran in Henry Clark, who comes into the bout riding a two-fight win streak.

“Henry’s tough, 一,” Arnold warned. “He has a chin on him, he’s a gamer, he’s not going to back down and he’s solid all the way around.”

With his two-year anniversary since his debut still four months away, Kam isn’t anxious and is confident that he has a lot left to contribute to the sport.

“I still have some amateur goals that I want to accomplish and we’re only scratching the surface of my career, 真,” Arnold stated. “I don’t want to make too much of a premature jump into the next group of talent. But I’m not afraid either, I’ve got to make the decision here coming up shortly, I’d like to get at least a couple more fights in. Depending on how those fights go—I’m one fight at a time—but if I keep on remaining successful, then I can’t see why I wouldn’t go pro after a sixth or a seventh fight.

“I’m very excited for the next chapter,” Arnold concluded.

NEF’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 38: STORM BORN,” will take place on Saturday, 四月 27, 2019 在Aura在波特蘭, 緬因州的鐘時間 7 下午。門票現已公開發售在www.AuraMaine.com.
