They have trained at Kaze now for over a decade. The brothers are recent graduates of Littleton High School in Littleton, New Hampshire.
“In the fickle world of martial arts gyms, few people hang around for 11 years and even fewer do it with their identical twin,” noted Kaze Dojo owner and head coach Greg Williams. Evan and Isaac have been in my gym since first grade. From day one they have displayed a work ethic and a passion for martial arts. They are two of the most respectable individuals I know. After prolific high school sports careers, both are as excited to be a part of NEF in New Hampshire as I am to coach them.”
Evan Piette will step into the cage at “NEF 44” oppositeLucas Donaldwho will also be making his amateur debut that night. The fight will take place within the 155-pound lightweight division.
“I am excited for the opportunity to proudly represent northern New Hampshire,” said Evan Piette. “I have been doing martial arts since I was six and it has become a part of who I am. My twin brother Isaac and Greg have been my partner and sensei since I first walked in. I’m ready to show what years of hard work can do on August 21st. Go Kaze!"
Like his twin brother, Isaac Piette will debut in the amateur lightweight division on August 21 in Milford.
“Evan and I have been making memories together since birth,” said Isaac. “At the age of six, we made our first appearance at Kaze Dojo. After countless blood sweat and tears, Evan and I are grateful to represent not only our home dojo but also New Hampshire’s North Country on August 21st. The three of us are ready to make one final memory before we part ways in the fall.”
Looking to play the role of spoiler on August 21stis Isaac’s opponent, and fellow amateur debut, Kaleb Kenney. Nicknamed “The Outlaw,” Kenney represents Team Nitemare based in Maine.
“Fighting in a cage has been a dream of mine for a long time,” stated Kenney. “I’ve been training hard for this and can’t wait to showcase my skills. I’m super pumped that my debut will be on a NEF card close enough that people from home get a chance to come see all the hard work pay off.”

The fight against Banks will mark Charles’ return to cage action after a 28-month absence.

Para min, it’s been over two years now due to an injury in 2019 and then the pandemic shutting other opportunities down. Eu non sei moito sobre o meu adversario, other than he comes from a great gym that will have him ready to compete. I’m thankful to my coaches and his team for this opportunity.

Quincy, Masa. (Xuño 1, 2021) – The main event on the June 26th“Breakout” card, Presentado por Granite Chin Promotions, matches two New England heavyweights heading in opposite directions, Steve "The Gentle Giant” Vukosa (13-1, 5 Kos) e “Fly” Mike Marshall (5-1, 4 Kos).
The evening card of another Granite Chin day-night doubleheader (separate admissions) is headlined by the 10-round main event for the vacant NABA United States Heavyweight Championship between Vukosa (13-1, 5 Kos) who will possibly be fighting for the final time – win, perder ou empatar — and reigning New England heavyweight champion Marshall.
Vukosa, fighting of out Quincy, MA, is a former WBC U.S. Heavyweight Champion, which he captured in 2019 when he won an 8-round unanimous decision againstJoe Cusumano(18-2, 16 Kos). During his 20-year pro boxing career, Vukosa’s gained invaluable experience sparring at the famed Wild Card Boxing gym in Los Angeles as a sparring partner for world championsJames Toney, Evander Holyfield e Wladimir Klitschko. He’s also driven a bus for the past 15 years for the Mass Bay Transportation Authority, a partir de 4 p.m. and finishing around 2 son., after which he does his run in. But he’s now 44 with a wife and three children and his boxing clock is ticking.
“I’m still fighting because I love it,” Vukosa explained. “It’s hard to walk away from something you’re good at. This one fight and it could be the end. My wife will be happy. My body is starting to fall apart: mans, back and knees. They’ve been killing me. I used to be quick and fast, now I’m slow. I just want to have a good fight, gañar, or lose, but I want to win. I really enjoyed by days at Wild Card, those sparring sessions were like real fights, and my amateur days with trainerJimmy Farrell.
“I saw my opponent when he won the New England title, I was impressed. (promotor)Chris (Traietti) called asking if I’d fight him, I accepted because I like to fight and a good challenge. I’m looking forward to the fight.”
The 36-year-old Marshall, fighting out of Danbury, CT, has won his last two fights, both on Granite Chin shows at the same venue as his upcoming match with Vukosa, including his N.E. title-winning performance last November againstJustin “Crazy Train” Rolfe. Marshall isn’t looking at his opponent as over the hill because of Vukosa’s advance age, but he does plan to make a statement that, con sorte, will get him positive exposure outside of New England.
“I know he’s a veteran pugilist, a pupil of Hall of Fame trainerFreddie Roach, who was an awesome fighter in his own right,” Marshall remarked. “This is boxing, todo pode ocorrer. My job is to prepare for anything. I’ve had the best quality sparring in house with the No. 1 amateur heavyweight, Fernely Félix, JR. My team works very hard, My manger, A.J. Galante, asked me to be sharper in my last fight (3-round KO ofTracey Johnsonthis past April), so I did what he asked me to do. My cornermanAustin Ampeoquiokeeps me sharp with the mitts, and my head coachesDavid McDonough e Bennie ‘The Jet’ Littledo a good job pushing me as well.
“I know Steve comes to fight and I’m looking forward to an exciting night of boxing. We are two warriors going toe-to-toe in the ring, putting on a show for boxing fans who really enjoy the sport of boxing, not this YouTube celebrity garbage that’s going on right now.”
“Steve ran into some bad luck after the Cusumano win,” Granite Chin president Chris Traietti commented. “A few fights fell through, then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. We literally had a fight in Germany fall out the day we were set to leave for the airport. After that we lost a lot of the steam from the Cusamano fight and kind of had to reassess. He picked up a tune-up fight a few months ago, but we now have to either regain some momentum by winning a fight like this or finally have Steve ride off into the sunset. This fight with Marshall will be no picnic. He has burst upon the local scene with some impressive performances.
“Like many coming to the fight, I have no idea how this fight shakes out, which makes for a great main event. One thing I will say, despite what Steve like to make people believe, in the event he wins this fight, it won’t be his final fight. Zero chance of that! If Marshall wins, I have no doubt he will get a television fight in the very near future on a major network.”
In the 8-round co-featured event, former N.E. heavyweight champion Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 Kos), de Fairfield, ME, will takes on Mexican challengerJose Humberto “Olimpico” Corral (20-26, 12 Kos) for the vacant ABF Atlantic heavyweight title.

Esta foi a última parada dunha xira de tres cidades por Boston e Springfield, Massachusetts e Manchester, Nova Hampshire. Os combates programados contaron con afeccionados do Team USA enfrontándose aos mellores boxeadores afeccionados de Irlanda. Pola campá final, Irlanda conseguiu rematar os oito combates da velada cun empate, o seu mellor resultado da xira. O equipo dos Estados Unidos gañou os dous primeiros dobres da xira en Boston e Springfield, respectivamente, por decenas de 8-4 e 7-3.
As pelexas do mércores non foron todas por gañar, con todo. Para a maioría dos boxeadores implicados foi unha gran oportunidade de afinar as súas técnicas e conseguir unha experiencia de competición internacional moi necesaria.. Algúns dos mellores artistas da noite do mércores tamén estarán representando os seus respectivos países nos próximos 2020 Xogos Olímpicos.
Contou o acto central da noite 2016 O medallista de bronce do Campionato do Mundo Xuvenil Richard Torrez domina o 3 veces campión nacional irlandés Dean Gardiner. A gran altura e o longo alcance do loitador irlandés simplemente non podían superar o ritmo acelerado e a excelente postura defensiva do estadounidense máis baixo..
Torrez pasou a primeira volta executando fintas maxistrales e deslizamentos de puñetazos mentres marcaba cuns ganchos de bombardeo.. Torrez cambiou de nivel, usou un movemento lixeiro da cabeza, e nunca soltou o pé, mentres Gardiner avanzaba con un enfoque desequilibrado e salvaxe ao comezo.. Un disparo de corpo atronador conectou para o irlandés na primeira, pero non moito máis.
Torrez mantivo o ritmo de traballo rápido no seguinte cadro, soltando ganchos esquerdo e dereito e pousando limpamente durante gran parte da rolda. Marcou ao corpo e á cabeza con facilidade, aínda que gran parte da rolda viu ao seu opoñente cubrindo e esperando ocos. Unha recta esquerda de Torrez fixo caer un momento ao seu rival, pero o home máis alto recuperouse e fixo un gancho de esquerda fenomenal na cabeza de Torrez mentres loitaba contra as cordas.. Gardiner intentou aterrar principalmente golpes rectos no exterior e parecía incapaz de darlle a volta aos seus golpes de preto..
A terceira rolda viu aos dous loitadores slugándose ata a campá final cun dos intercambios de ida e volta máis salvaxes da noite., pero era demasiado pouco e demasiado tarde para Gardiner. Simplemente non puido marcar o seu alcance. Torrez acaba de superar ao seu opoñente de novo e conseguiu algúns uppercuts lixeiros para ir cos seus trepidantes ganchos de dereita e esquerda.. Utilizou o golpe con moderación pero con eficacia, gastando gran parte do cadro final apuntando ao corpo de Gardiner. Torrez gañou a vitoria por Decisión Unánime coa súa actuación e non fixo máis que un puñado de tiros duros no proceso..
Kelly Harrington, un medallista de prata do Campionato do Mundo de Irlanda, probablemente tivo a actuación máis maxistral do seu equipo ao lograr unha vitoria por decisión unánime sobre Stacia Suttles no combate inicial da noite.. Suttles loitou por manterse no rango ideal de golpes contra o ataque implacable de Harrington na primeira rolda., pasando gran parte dos tres minutos balanceándose e tecendo para intentar evitar as combinacións nítidas do seu opoñente. Suttles fixo o seu golpe de forma bastante consistente, e ela comezou a xuntar algúns combos ao final da rolda, pero Harrington é un absoluto experto no que se refire ao movemento da cabeza. Ela parecía Floyd Mayweather, JR. foi un dos seus adestradores xa que utilizaba unha técnica de mans baixas con fintas constantes, deslizamento de puñetazos e cambio de nivel. A primeira rolda viu a ela aterrar unha fermosa recta á esquerda na cabeza e unha fantástica combinación de golpes de corpo e cabeza que aterrou sólidamente.. Ela soltou uns ganchos feroces, aínda que algúns eran palleiros salvaxes. A continuación móstrase unha imaxe de Harrington durante un dos breves momentos da pelexa onde levantou as dúas mans para protexer o seu rostro.
Suttles capturou a Harrington con algunhas miradas e tiros a ras na segunda rolda, pero parecía que tiña problemas para conseguir poder detrás dos seus golpes. Ela cambiou algunhas mans dereitas decentes co seu opoñente, pero estaba claro ao final da rolda que simplemente non ía ser capaz de atopar ningún ritmo na loita debido á astucia do seu opoñente.. Harrington pasou a mesma rolda perfeccionando o seu rango con nítido 1-2 combos e dereitos salvaxes que se conectan. Harrington tamén anotou uns poderosos ganchos de esquerda cunha imaxe recta perfecta para aterrar só uns momentos despois.
A terceira rolda foi máis do mesmo para ambos os loitadores. Suttles traballou gran parte do cadro para rastrexar ao seu opoñente, pero cada vez que descargaba, ela pagou por iso. Un gancho de esquerda especialmente sólido caeu ao final da rolda, pero non foi suficiente. Harrington pasou gran parte dos últimos tres minutos intentando conectar coas mans dereitas. Ela deu un dos seus golpes máis duros da loita ao final da rolda e atordoou momentaneamente ao seu opoñente antes do timbre para rematar a loita.. Harrington tomou unha decisión unánime e parece ser unha das boxeadoras máis prometedoras polo seu peso na carreira pola 2020 Xogos Olímpicos.
Outro exemplo de que a altura era unha desvantaxe de algunha maneira xogou un papel na outra loita feminina da tarxeta.. Leah Cooper do equipo estadounidense (#2 Peso medio feminino estadounidense) usou agachadas e fintas para evitar o longo alcance do máis alto Aoife Burke. Cooper pelexou desde un semi-agachado, dificultando a aterraxe de Burke con algún poder significativo na maioría dos seus golpes. O 8 veces campión nacional de Irlanda
tivo algúns puntos na pelexa onde recuperou o control da acción, pero Cooper fixo os axustes correctos para minimizar as ameazas.
Cooper executou un ataque en enxame para comezar a primeira rolda, disparando 1-2 combos e apoiando a Burke. Mantívose paciente e persistente durante todo o cadro, permanecendo baixo e fóra do alcance dos tiros de poder de Burke. Burke mostrou unha excelente defensa, pero só puido lanzar e aterrar un golpe á vez. Ela mostrou un golpe nítido durante toda a rolda, pero non disuadiu a Cooper. Burke tivo os seus mellores momentos da rolda cara á campá final, mesturando tiros ao corpo e á cabeza, incluíndo un gancho dereito duro na cabeza.
Burke saíu para a segunda rolda en chamas, asaltando a Cooper con lume rápido 1-2 combos e ganchos. Tamén mesturou un uppercut liso que atopou o queixo de Cooper. Cooper resistiu a tormenta, só caendo na trampa brevemente. Ela recuperou a compostura, deu uns excelentes golpes de contra, e converteu a que puido ser a mellor rolda de Burke na peor do campión irlandés. Cooper mantívose tranquilo e tranquilo, a pesar de realizar algúns dos tiros máis duros o seu rival aterrou na pelexa. Ela aterrou uns magníficos 1-2 os combos despois do ataque de Burke fracasou, finalmente abriu un corte preto do ollo esquerdo de Burke e ensangróulle o nariz. O duro golpe no corpo de Cooper tamén fixo que Burke se agachara ao lenzo un pouco despois dun sólido gancho dereito..
Burke comezou a terceira rolda un pouco tarde despois de ser revisado e autorizado polo médico de bordo. Comezou de novo cunha ráfaga de golpes de bomba. Apuntou o corpo e a cabeza, pero Cooper recolleuse unha vez máis e volveu traballar. Ela cambiou ben os niveis e comezou a conectarse con ganchos furiosos, primeiro ao corpo e despois de novo á cabeza. Tamén mantivo un jab activo e conseguiu varios 1-2 combos. Burke conseguiu outra ráfaga tardía nos momentos finais da loita, pero Cooper aínda saíu coa vitoria por decisión unánime.
O equipo lixeiro de Estados Unidos James Browning entrou na pelea do mércores pola noite co irlandés Francis Cleary como dúas veces campión de boxeo dos Estados Unidos.. Cleary, nove veces campión nacional irlandés, representou o primeiro crack de Browning na competición internacional. Os dous loitadores tiveron os seus momentos, pero sería Browning conseguindo a vitoria ao final de tres entretidos, roldas de acción de ida e volta.
Browning pasou a primeira rolda establecendo unha taxa de traballo máis alta que o seu opoñente e usando moito movemento para evitar o ataque de Cleary.. He also landed a consistent jab, mixing up his body and head shots well. Aínda que gañou a rolda, Browning took plenty of risks and paid the price. Cleary escolleu os seus puntos e desatou os golpes máis limpos e poderosos cando puido aterrar. He just couldn’t connect enough, e saíu de problemas case cada vez que remataba loitando a corta distancia.
Claramente caeu algunhas bombas máis afiadas no segundo cadro, cada vez máis agresivo e comezando a rastrexar ao seu opoñente en constante movemento. Un golpeante gancho esquerdo preto do final da rolda conectou coa cabeza de Browning e impresionou á multitude de afeccionados.. Aínda, Browning permaneceu ocupado e fixo ben nos intercambios de babosas entre os dous loitadores. Moitas veces era salvaxe, pero a saída do traballo impediu que Cleary roubase a rolda.
Cleary saíu para a terceira rolda con renovada ferocidade, engaging in a wild brawl with Browning. It was the best round of the fight for Cleary, e Browning non puido manter a elusión que amosou nas roldas anteriores. O loitador irlandés conseguiu outro gancho esquerdo en auxe na rolda, featured perfectly-timed counters, and kept punching right up to the bell. Browning definitivamente parecía estar frustrado e canso ao final da loita. Aínda, dous dos tres xuíces estaban seguros de que se merecía a vitoria, conseguindo unha vitoria por decisión dividida.
O seguinte combate enfrontou ao oito veces campión nacional irlandés Wayne Kelley contra o 13 veces campión nacional estadounidense Adrian Benton nunha pechada batalla de peso welter.. Os dous mozos loitadores tiveron puntos brillantes no partido, pero Kelley conseguiu escapar a vitoria por decisión dividida cun astuto, esforzo atrevido.
Benton tivo o mellor primeiro asalto grazas a un ataque en enxame. He worked in and out of range with 1-2 combos e ganchos de reforzo. He used all his angles well, saíndo do apuro e ao alcance efectivo con facilidade. Kelley loitou para aterrar contadores ata os momentos finais da rolda, cando conseguiu a súa propia ráfaga de 1-2 combos.
Kelley comezou a segunda rolda con moita máis enerxía e aplomo. He landed early and often, alando as mans esquerdas e abrindo un corte no beizo de Benton. Benton esvarou algúns dos golpes máis perigosos, bloqueou ben os tiros e aterrou algúns nítidos, tiros duros propios. O seu mellor intercambio foi un gancho esquerdo e dereito na cabeza que aterrou preto da metade da rolda.
Kelley baixou un pouco a velocidade na rolda final, incapaz de atopar o seu rango ideal. Conseguiu unhas duras mans dereitas, un tiro de corpo ben colocado e descargado cunha ráfaga tardía. Benton mantívose ocupado no inicio da rolda e agachouse con arte baixo un gancho dereito bombardeado de Kelley. Os xuíces parecían máis impresionados coa compostura de Kelley nas dúas últimas roldas mentres Benton seguía sendo atraído a pelexas descoidadas.. Kelley superou a vitoria por a 2-1 marxe.
Os pesos welter lixeiros viñeron despois, producindo outro concurso axustado. O irlandés Caoimhin Ferguson pelexou contra Charlie Sheehy do equipo estadounidense cun enfoque táctico lixeiramente mellor., conseguindo outra vitoria por decisión dividida para o seu equipo.
Sheehy adoptou un enfoque máis cauteloso e paciente na primeira volta, esperando o momento perfecto para lanzar e aterrar. Os seus mellores golpes da rolda incluíron unha dura man dereita ao corpo e un golpe de amidón. Ferguson traballou máis no cadro, marcando en múltiples ganchos á cabeza e desatando ráfagas salvaxes e tolas algunhas veces. Un gancho de esquerda en particular estrelouse con forza na cabeza de Sheehy nos últimos momentos da rolda.
Ferguson fixo algúns tiros decentes na segunda rolda, pero Sheehy estaba moito máis composto. Traballou arredor do balanceo salvaxe, asalto contundente mantendo a distancia e marcando dende fóra con certos dereitos nítidos no queixo. Os loitadores intercambiaron uns ganchos ao corpo e acabaron nun clinch antes do final da rolda..
Sheehy loitou para encadear golpes na rolda final. Aínda que tiña unha boa man dereita recta traballando para el, Ferguson puido penetrar na súa defensa. Ferguson conseguiu cedo un golpeante gancho esquerdo e pasou a lanzar algunhas bombas máis antes de perder a súa boca nun intercambio.. Probablemente sabendo que necesitaba rematar forte para poñer aos xuíces do seu lado, Ferguson precipitouse cun último torrente de ganchos nos últimos segundos. Gañou un 2-1 decisión vitoria pola súa tenacidade.
Os pesos welter Kieron Molloy (Irlanda) e Freudis Rojas, JR. (EUA) enfrontouse noutro combate. Ambos loitadores son anteriores medallistas de bronce no Campionato do Mundo con Molloy tamén reclamando nove títulos nacionais de Irlanda e Rojas gañando os nacionais de Estados Unidos. 10 veces ata agora. It was another close shave win for Team Ireland.
Rojas foi claramente o loitador máis activo na primeira volta. Utilizou un golpe constante e aumentou a súa taxa de traballo a través do cadro. He ket busy on offense right up until the bell. Molloy comezou os lanzamentos redondos e intentando descubrir o seu alcance. Desatouse un pouco tarde nalgúns dos intercambios máis feroces, couldn’t figure out how to get his combinations going, e tivo un mal momento para poñerse ao día co máis rápido Rojas. Molloy did land some excellent straight lefts, aínda.
A seguinte rolda foi moito mellor para o zurdo irlandés. He started with an uptick in his punch output, though he still struggled to land combos. At one point in the round, Molloy connected with a huge straight left, followed up by a nice power jab, slowing down his opponent. Rojas kept coming forward but couldn’t capitalize on scoring opportunities in the round. Unha ráfaga tardía de golpes de Rojas non foi suficiente para que lle roubara a rolda.
Rojas conseguiu excelentes tiros na rolda final, going downstairs to the body frequently. He also caught Molloy against the ropes, blasting him with straight punches. Molloy fought the smarter round, aínda, escollendo os mellores momentos para lanzar e collendo moitas veces a Rojas coas mans baixas. His best exchange of the round featured a huge 1-2 conectando á cabeza e un gancho de esquerda salvaxe á cabeza. Un último enxame de golpes do loitador irlandés pechou o espectáculo e gañoulle unha 2-1 vitoria por decisión dividida.
Nikita Ababiy, do equipo dos Estados Unidos, logrou un triunfo moi disputado nun asunto salvaxe antes do evento principal con Gerard French do equipo de Irlanda.. A primeira rolda viu a Ababiy golpeando ben. O estadounidense entrou na pelexa cunha postura de boxeo moi pouco tradicional cunha man baixa, pero a súa postura parecía ser eficaz para atraer ao seu opoñente ao alcance de golpes. Ababiy conseguiu algúns ganchos en auxe e un bonito uppercut esquerdo que respaldaba o francés. Entrementes, Francés concentrouse en intentar aterrar contadores. Tiña unha taxa de traballo máis baixa pero tampouco levou demasiado castigo.
O francés pasou a segunda volta intentando intercambiar a pelota. Conseguiu máis tiros máis tarde na rolda, incluíndo algúns ganchos dereito acalorados nos momentos finais. Ababiy conectou con algúns golpes na rolda e tamén mostrou unha boa defensa. Mesturou os seus tiros ao corpo e á cabeza, botando e tapando para esperar a próxima apertura. Ababiy conseguiu un bonito gancho esquerdo na cabeza seguido dun uppercut dereito perfecto no último minuto.. Rematou ben a rolda camiño da súa primeira vitoria.
A rolda final viu a Ababiy un pouco máis lento, pero aínda era o suficientemente eficaz para levar o cadro. French conseguiu uns nítidos ganchos esquerdos na cabeza, pero non puido descubrir o estilo diferente que o seu opoñente trouxo ao ring. O estadounidense logrou a vitoria por decisión unánime.
A noite tamén comezou coa única parada na tarxeta grazas a unha pelexa salvaxe entre o Manchester local de 132 libras., Os novatos do NH Michael Correa e Abhisek Thapa. Correa despegou polo aro ao escoitar o timbre de apertura e desatou unha ráfaga salvaxe tras outra. Thapa non deixou que o tornado o tragara, aínda. El só cubriuse e esperou as súas oportunidades. Só tardou un par de minutos en que o Correa comezase a cansar do ataque implacable. Thapa entrou despois para conseguir algunhas das tomas máis impresionantes da noite, obrigando ao árbitro a deter a loita por tres oito contas antes de que o final chegase finalmente cun torbellino de golpes de poder de Thapa..
Tamén houbo unha aparición convidada polo boxeador Floyd Mayweather, JR. aínda chama ao seu rival máis duro de sempre, Emanuel Augusto (3-34-6, 20 Kos). Augustus participou nunha reunión a noite anterior con “Irlandés” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 Kos), celebrando un dos mellores combates da historia do deporte, que tivo lugar en xullo 13, 2001. Augustus quedou para as pelexas e mesmo entrou no ring para demostrar que aínda ten a mesma destreza de golpes que o converteu nun dos loitadores máis entretidos da súa época..
"Nesta xira aprendemos que estamos aí cos mellores equipos do mundo,", dixo Billy Walsh, o adestrador principal do equipo dos Estados Unidos. "O equipo de Irlanda é moi bo, equipo novo. Teremos un bo equipo para enviar a Tokio (2020 Xogos Olímpicos). Estou orgulloso do meu equipo. Todos traballaron moi duro. Non tivemos algúns dos nosos mellores boxeadores porque algúns estaban a competir nun torneo internacional. Temos unha boa colleita de 18-19-20 anos que conformarán o noso 2020 equipo olímpico".
Team Ireland tamén trouxo o seu propio equipo de produción para filmar toda a acción para aqueles que non puideron estar alí:
MANCHESTER, N.H. (Marzo 22, 2018) – A terceira e última parada de onte á noite no USA Boxing 2018 EUA vs. O Tour de Boxeo do Noreste de Irlanda rematou nun a 4-4 sorteo no Downtown Manchester Hotel en Manchester, Nova Hampshire. O equipo dos Estados Unidos gañou o título da xira por equipos, 2-0-1.

Non tivemos algúns dos nosos mellores boxeadores porque algúns estaban a competir nun torneo internacional. Temos unha boa colleita de 18-19-20 anos que conformarán o noso 2020 equipo olímpico.”
O equipo de Irlanda liderou a puntuación do equipo de onte á noite, 4-3, entrando no partido final da noite, unha revancha superpesada. O 2016 Medalla de bronce no Campionato do Mundo Xuvenil Richard Torrez unha vez máis derrotou o campión nacional irlandés Decano Gardiner,

Emanuel Augustus únese aos invitados especiais Micky Ward & Steve Smoger para completar unha loita memorable
Marzo 21 en Manchester, NH
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Marzo 19, 2018) – Boxeador profesional retirado Emanuel Augusto confirmou a súa asistencia esta semana a unha reunión de USA Boxing organizada por 2001 Loita do Ano, associated with the final stop on the 2018 EUA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour festivities in Manchester, Nova Hampshire.
O 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. “Irlandés” Micky Wardwon an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up with “boxing cult” heroEmanuel Augusto, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judges’ scoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
“Ward versus Augustus was truly the event of the year in boxing and we’re so happy it was held right here in New Hampshire,” said Stephen, who has been in his position as chairman since 1974, “Micky was losing the fight until the later rounds. As the chairperson of he commission, I checked the judges’ scorecards after six or seven rounds and Micky was losing. Logo, Micky colleu a Augustus, caeu e doeuno de verdade. El pasou a gañar unha gran loita.”
A vitoria de alto perfil situou a Ward para o que resultou ser a súa épica triloxía Gatti, mentres que Augusto pasou a converterse nun dos máis perigosos, adversarios molestos no boxeo. Enfermería, Augustus e o terceiro home do ring aquela noite, Árbitro do Salón da Fama Steve Smoger, acollerá o martes como evento da Asociación de Antigos Alumnos de Estados Unidos, Mar. 20 en The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurante (909 Elm St. en Manchester), a partir de 6 p.m. E.
Ao trío tamén se unirán outros dous moi relacionados co 2001 Loita do Ano, Presidente da Comisión de Boxeo e Loita de New Hampshire, Bobby Stephen, así como International matchmaker, Eric Bottjer, que fixo loitar ao Ward-Augustus 2001.
Os cinco tamén asistirán ao evento da Asociación de Antigos Alumnos de Boxeo dos Estados Unidos, así como á noite seguinte (Mar. 21) EUA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, Nova Hampshire.
SPECIAL MANCHESTER AMATEUR BOXING MATCH ADDED
A special lightweight novice WILL open the competition, showcasing two Manchester amateur boxers, Abhisek Thapa (Title Boxing Club) e Michael Correa (Manchester PAL).
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at7 p.m. Husa, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.
Os ingresos son a prezos razoables no $20.00 para a admisión xeral, $30 for reserved ringside seats, and available to purchase on Seacoast Ticket Agency’s website, www.seacoastticket.com, the official ticket distributor for the event.
“We’re so happy to have the USA-Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour here in Manchester,” Stephen added. “The talent on both squads is extraordinary. We’re honored to have these two teams here for this big event. It’s a credit to USA Boxing and (special events director) Al Valenti, who has done so much over the years for boxing in New Hampshire. Boxing was very popular here many years ago. People turned out in droves to attend the Golden Gloves. There’s a boxing resurgence and that’s so important to teach young people discipline, respect and conditioning that’s so needed today. These amateurs do their best for the love of boxing; they aren’t in it for money like professionals.
“Micky is honorable, a real nice person. It means a lot for local fans and boxers to meet him. We were fortunate to have him fight in New Hampshire on serval occasions and nobody who watched his fight Augustus or his trilogy withArturo Gattiwill never forget.”.
