VERONA, NY (Augusti 13, 2016) – Undefeated rising contender Miguel Flores (21-0, 9 Kos) defeated exciting featherweight contender Ryan Kielczweski (25-2, 7 Kos) genom enhälligt beslut (97-93, 96-94, 96-94) i 10-round main event av Premier Boxning Champions på ESPN och ESPN från Turning Stone Resort Casino i Verona, New York.
In an action-packed fight during which both fighters threw over 750 stansar, the Houston native Flores was slightly more fluid and able to do enough work on the inside to keep his unblemished record intact.
Sa Flores, “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 Kos) defeating contender Jamal James (20-1, 9 Kos) genom enhälligt beslut (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. Emellertid, Ugas showed no sign of ring rust på fredag 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 James’ height advantage.
“We focused on the body because (James) was tall,” said 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 ‘no’ to taking this fight. But fighting is what I do. Other fighters are not doing what I did tonight. Sure, 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.”
On his recent training camp…
“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, Edward Jackson, have been pushing me really hard. Together as a team, we will be ready to shine denna fredag.”
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, så för mig, he could easily be an undefeated fighter. Med detta sagt, 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. I’m not worried about it. I just want to put on a great show, win this fight and capture all his fans in the process.”

GARY RUSSELL JR. KNOCKS OUT PATRICK HYLAND TO RETAIN WBC FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY NIGHT ON SHOWTIME®

Jose Pedraza Remains Unbeaten With Unanimous Decision Over Stephen Smith In IBF Junior Lightweight Championship

Catch The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Replay
Denna måndag vid 10 p.m. OCH/PT On SHO EXTREME®

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

 

Kvällens event was a family affair with Russell Jr. working his brother Antonio’s corner during kvällens 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. Från den första klockan, Washington, D.C. native came out swinging with his trademark hand speed and dangerous power. Russell, en Southpaw, successfully broke down—and knocked out—Hyland with multiple vicious right hooks.

 

“We stuck to the game plan. We stayed sharp,” said Russell Jr., som förbättrar sitt rekord till 27 vinner, one loss, 15 knockouts.

 

“I’m ready to fight anyone in the division – Santa Cruz, Lee Selby. Vi är redo. But what I really want is [Vasyl] Lomachenko. I don’t care if he moves up to 147 pounds. 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 i kväll and at times his hand speed was frightening.”

 

Pedraza (22-0, 12 Kos) 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 i kväll. 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 i kväll with different weapons. Mostly right hands to the head,"Sade 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, landning 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 var värd för SHOWTIME-utsändningen, med Mauro Ranallo kallar åtgärden, Hall of Fame-analytiker Al Bernstein och tidigare tvåfaldig världsmästare Paulie Malignaggi kommentera och Jim Gray rapportering. I den spanska samsändning, Alejandro Luna kallade slag-för-slag och tidigare världsmästare Raul Marquez fungerade som färgkommentator. Den verkställande producenten av SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING var David Dinkins Jr. med Bob Dunphy riktande.

NEW YORK (April 13, 2016) – WBC fjäderlätta mästaren Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15 Kos), av Capitol Heights, Md., and Irish contender Patrick Hyland (31-1, 15 Kos), of Dublin, faced off at the final press conference Onsdag at Highline Ballroom in New York, as they approach denna lördagens Featherweight World Title fight live on Showtime® from the Fox Theater in Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
Den Showtime MÄSTERSKAP BOXNING® telecast begins live at 11 p.m. OCH/8 p.m. PT on SHOWTIME with IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship clash between unbeaten Puerto Rican Jose Pedraza (21-0, 12 Kos) and mandatory challenger Stephen Smith (23-1, 13 Kos), av Liverpool, England.
Here’s what the fighters had to say at Onsdagens final press conference.
GARY RUSSELL JR.
(On Patrick Hyland…)
“Först och främst, 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. Han är lång, han är lång, but we can take him. We’re going to handle it.”
(On returning from injury…)
“Jag mår bra. Jag är redo; I put the work in at the gym. Like I said earlier, I got cussed out several times and sometimes I left the gym feeling like the worst fighter ever. Men, just nu, 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. I’m looking forward to it. 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 Olympic team. 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 April 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 slagsmål, 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 Lördag natt.”
(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 på lördag 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 på lördag night and put it in by doing everything I’ve worked on to become champion.”
Jose Pedraza
(På träningsläger…)
“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 på lördag…)
“With my abilities, såsom Lördag, I will demonstrate that I am above Smith and that I am at the level of what I am, a champion. Övergripande, 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 pounds…)
“I have always said that the less Puerto Ricans I fight, desto bättre. 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] Fortune, to name a few that are at the top of my list.”
STEPHEN SMITH
(On his first time fighting in the U.S….)
“Jag är glad. 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…)
“Bra, 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
(På träningsläger…)
“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 på lördag.”
(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. LÅT BLI, definitely by knockout.”

Doubleheader of World Title Fights Featured on
Showtime MÄSTERSKAP BOXNING
(11 p.m. OCH/8 p.m. PT)
Mashantucket, CT (April 11, 2016) – A stacked undercard of action featuring former world champion “Illa” Chad Dawson (33-4, 18 Kos), fjäder utmanare Ryan Kielczweski (24-1, 7 Kos) and undefeated prospects Antonio Russell (5-0, 4 Kos) och Carlos Gongora (4-0, 3 Kos) kommer till Foxwoods Resort Casino i Mashantucket, CT., på Lördag, April 16.
The event is headlined by a Showtime MÄSTERSKAP BOXNING doubleheader of world title fights: WBC Fjäder Världsmästare Gary Russell Jr. battles Ireland’s Patrick “Straffaren” Hyland and IBF Junior Lightweight World Champion Jose “Prickskytt” Pedraza takes on top contender Stephen “Swifty” Smith from the UK, med TV täckning börjar live på Showtime på 11 p.m. OCH/8 p.m. PT.
Dawson will face the veteran Cornelius White (23-4, 17 Kos) i en 10-runda lätt tungvikt bout, Kielczweski enters the ring for eight rounds of featherweight action, Gongora competes in a super middleweight attraction while Russell takes on Leonardo Reyes (3-9, 1 KO) in a bantamweight fight.
Also entering the ring is popular super bantamweight contender Shelley Vincent (16-0, 1 KO) out of Providence, RI., who will have plenty of support behind her when she takes on New Mexico’s Elizabeth Anderson (4-7, 1 KO) i en sex-round bout.
Rounding out the action are a pair of prospects making their pro debuts as Providence’s Anthony Marsella Jr. fights in a four-round junior welterweight match and Connecticut’s Mykquan Williams in a four-round welterweight contest. Williams is a highly touted local prospect who fought to a 45-13 amateur record including three gold medal performances at the Ringside World Tournament.
En tidigare världsmästare i lätt tungvikt, Dawson returns to the ring looking for the 34th seger av hans framgångsrika karriär. Den 33-årige äger segrar över tidigare världsmästare Bernard Hopkins, Antonio Tarver and Tomasz Ademek and most recently defeated Shujaa El Amin in December 2015. The veteran owns a 17-1 record in fights in his home state of Connecticut. He takes on the veteran Vit out of Houston who picked up victories in his last two starts over Marcus Oliveira and William Johnson.
En tvåa i 2008 National Golden Glove turnering, 25-åringen Kielczweski has become a staple fighting in his native New England. Född och uppvuxen i Quincy, Mass., he bounced back from his first defeat to deliver a first-round knockout over Anthony Napunyi in May 2015 and followed that up with a victory over veteran contender Rafael Vazquez in October of last year. During this camp, Kielczweski served as a chief sparring partner of the 126-pound champion Russell Jr.

Bracero, som räckte O'Connor hans första pro förlust fyra år sedan, använt en over rättighet som O'Connor, slåss av närliggande Framingham (MA) såg inte komma. O’Connor var ute kallt innan han träffade mattan.
“Jag arbetade på den punch i sex veckor,” Bracero sa efter kampen. “I min sista match, Jag kämpade mot en Southpaw och gjorde några misstag. Jag arbetade specifikt på den stansen för att Danny är en Southpaw. Jag gled åt sidan och kastade höger. Det var första gången jag åkte till lägret, borta från min familj.
“Jag är bara så ödmjuk och tacksam. Jag visste att komma in här att all press var på honom (O'Connor); publiken skulle försöka ta odjuret ur mig och satte mig på försvaret.
Allt går att träna (angående hans nästa kamp). Jag låter Tommy Gallagher ochLou DiBella ta hand om min nästa kamp. Jag är redo att gå tillbaka i gymmet.”
O'Connor fördes med ambulans till den närliggande Lowell General Hospital för observation.
Hemstad hjälte “Irländsk” Micky Ward och National Hockey League Hall-of-Famer NBCSN analytiker “Socker” Ray Leonard återvände till samma byggnad som han fångade en nationell Golden Gloves Turnerings titel i 1973.

Guzman tappade Aquino, en mexikansk infödd kämpar från Connecticut, i den andra omgången. Den illa skadade Aquino, emellertid, varade tills den nionde omgången när Guzman avslutade showen med en brutal vänsterkrok. Inte här, en annan New England Golden Gloves mästare som vann sin titel i denna byggnad, aldrig hade slutat som en professionell.
Quincy (MA) fjäder Ryan “Den polska Prince” Kielczweski (24-1, 7 Kos), som vann två New England Golden Gloves mästerskap på Lowell Memorial Auditorium, vann en 10-runda, hårt kämpade beslut över Brooklyn Rafael “Dynamite” Vazquez (16-2, 13 Kos).

FIGHTER QUOTES
GABRIEL Bracero:
“Gud välsigne Danny O'Connor. Han är en mästare. Bara för att han förlorade här i dag, Jag fortfarande tips på hatten för honom. Det tar en riktig mästare komma hit och göra vad han gör. Jag önskar honom lycka.
“Det är en fantastisk känsla. Sanningen är, Jag var en vinnare innan jag gick i ringen. Detta är en dröm som går i uppfyllelse. Jag har drömt om denna dag under en lång tid. Jag gjorde några misstag i mina tidigare matcher, men jag gick tillbaka till ritbordet, gick till lägret, fast mina misstag och kom hit super fokuserad i dag.
På vad han sade till O'Connor efter kampen…
“Mitt budskap till Danny var, efter min sista match, efter min sista förlust, Jag var nere. Jag gick igenom en depression. Jag sa till honom att inte låta det hända honom. Att plocka sig tillbaka upp, att vara stolt över sig själv. Att åka hem till sin vackra fru och barn och njuta av livet. Jag ville inte samma sak att hända med honom, som hände mig.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN:
“Jag visade att jag kan kämpa och jag kan slå. Denna kamp var ett exempel på vad jag kan göra.
“Från den andra omgången jag slogs med två sårade händer. Det spelade ingen roll att mina händer, Jag tänkte att stoppa honom.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI:
“Innan denna kamp, Jag visste att han kunde slå. Jag trodde att jag undvikit det för hela kampen, men i den 10: e omgången, Han fick mig. Det kändes ganska bra att få rockade för första gången, bara veta hur det känns.”
“Jag slags började långsamt, men i mitten rundor, Jag började att sätta mina slag tillsammans, kasta fyra, fem, sex slag i taget och det fungerade. Men han kom tillbaka varje gång och började handla med mig.
(Pågående 10 rundor…)
“Det är i alla fall. Du är lika trötta efter en fyra-runt kamp som du är efter sex, åtta eller 10. Du lämnar allt tills kampens slut. Det hela känns samma.
(På att få ont i den 10: e….)
“Jag visste inte var mina fötter var. Det var en konstig känsla, Jag hade ingen aning om vad som kändes som. Han fångade mig och jag kunde se rakt, men jag kände mig själv gå till vänster och höger.
“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.
“Blodet var inte i mitt öga. Jag visste inte att jag skars tills domaren kom över.
“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 gånger som en amatör.”
RAFAEL VAZQUEZ:
“Han var en smart fighter, han flyttade och han hade stor makt. Han var i bra form. Han är ung, Jag kommer att vara 38 i år. Ingen ursäkt, Jag flyttade upp till 126 pund för att möta honom, Jag är 122 pounds.
“Jag trodde att jag vann de tre sista rundorna. Särskilt nionde och tionde omgången. Den tionde omgången var stor. Han ansluten kanske tio slag i hela rundan. Jag vaggade honom. Jag skada honom. Men, vi kämpar i sin hemstad, och jag är tacksam mot honom för att ge mig möjlighet.”

EFTER den tragiska förlusten av sin far och TRAINER IRLÄNDSK CONTE PATRICK HYLAND bär en tungt hjärta, som han ser ut att finna tröst i ringen på Saturday Night

Lämna en kommentar

Avkastningen på undercard AV PBC PÅ NBCSN AT LOWELL Memorial Auditorium i Lowell, MASSA.
LOWELL, Mäss. (10/9/15) – På lördag natt, Irländsk världs rankade utmanare Patrick Hyland (30-1, 14 Kos) faces David Martinez on the undercard of the PBC on NBCSN event from Lowell, Mäss. The fight won’t be shown on television, Hyland ser detta är den viktigaste kampen i hans karriär som han arbetar sig tillbaka in i VM-titel påstående.
Anfallen på lördag 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. kommer inte att vara i sitt hörn. Patrick Sr., mer känd som Paddy, tragiskt avled i våras. Lämnar irländska boxning samfundet chockade.
“Jag hör hans röst i bakhuvudet varje dag. Varje dag. Särskilt i gymmet men när jag är utbildning,” said Hyland Jr.
Förlusten av Hyland far kom bara några veckor innan Hyland fru Lorna födde sitt första barn, Callum, vilket ytterligare bidrar till betydelsen av denna kamp.
“I challenged Javier Fortuna for the world championship,” said Hyland. “Jag vann den irländska VM-titel. Jag har kämpat på MGM Grand, O2 Arena och Madison Square Garden. För mig men, this is the most important fight of my career. Inte bara jag slåss för min nyfödde son, men jag kämpar för att hålla min fars arv lever. Han fick mig att mannen som jag är idag och den man som jag vill att min son en dag bli. 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, och jag kommer inte sluta förrän jag få en annan spricka på en VM-titel.”
Anfallen på lördag night will be Hyland’s fourth since the lone loss of his career, en mycket underhållande 12-runda beslut för delårsfjäderlätta titel mot nu regerande super fjäderlätta mästaren Javier Fortuna. Following the loss to Fortuna, Hyland was out of action for a year and a half, när han sorterade genom PR-frågor. Hyland tecknats med DiBella Entertainment i juni 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.
“Jag har ett bra team bakom mig. Min chef Brian Peters och promotorn Lou DiBella arbetar hårt,” fortsatte Hyland. “Så länge jag fortsätter att vinna och göra vad jag behöver göra, Jag vet att de kommer att få mig möjlighet att bevisa mig själv och visa att jag är en av de bästa 126-pundiga i världen. 2016 kommer att bli ett stort år för mig och jag förväntar mig att fullt ut återigen vara en utmaning för en del av fjäder kronan.”

Se här vad deltagarna hade att säga Onsdag:
DANNY O'CONNOR
“Detta handlar om mig slåss processen. 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. Jag var 14-0 och kämpar på 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!
“Denna kamp är jag vs. mig. 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. Nu, 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, där jag vann New England Golden Gloves titel och jag kämpar på nationell TV, men händelsen är mellan de fyra hörnen och det är vad som verkligen räknas.”
GABRIEL Bracero
“Jag är glad. 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.
“Jag är mer erfaren. I moved to train in Orlando and get away from distractions. I hit a few bumps and got incarcerated. Tommy Gallagher (tränare) 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, Alexander Lopes, men Tommy och min far, 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. Jag kan inte ta något ifrån honom, men jag ser fram emot att sätta på en spektakulär föreställning Lördag natt.”
JONATHAN GUZMAN
“Jag kommer att göra det 20-för-20, ja! I’m powerful because I make strong moves. My left hook is my best punch. Jag kan känna kraften genom hela min kropp när jag slog någon rätt.
“Jag oroar mig inte om min motståndare eller vad han har gjort i det förflutna.
“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
“Min sista match drivs mig (upprörd av beslut över Ryan Kielczweski). It made me more confident in myself. Min sista match var på ESPN och detta är på 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 och det är därför jag är så motiverad för denna kamp.
“Jag vann New England Golden Gloves mästerskap i Lowell Memorial Auditorium i 2007.
“Jag tränar hårt och jag är alltid i tillräckligt bra form för att slå vem som helst.”
RYAN KIELCZWESKI
“I like fighting at home and this is one of my favorite venues. I won the New England Golden Gloves there twice.
“Jag har tränat för att detta ska vara den tuffaste kampen av min karriär.
“(Vasquez) is tough with a lot of power. He’s going come forward, men jag kommer att kunna out-box honom.
“Han har fått i topp 10 av världen och en seger skulle sätta mig tillbaka i topp 10 kämpa för en värld titel inom det närmaste året.”
RAFAEL VASQUEZ
“Detta är en fantastisk möjlighet för mig. I think this fight will put me on the map fighting on national TV and showing fans what I’ve got.
“Jag är en hungrig, small fighter determined to win. I fight for my wife, Sandra, som har stage-fyra cancer och min åttaåriga dotter, Kaline, who has autism. It’s not just me fighting in the ring, it’s the Vasquez family. With God’s grace, allt är möjligt.
“Ryan flyttar en hel del. He uses the ring and boxes. He lost to Aquino and I know he’ll be coming back to prove himself. “
GARY “AX” O'SULLIVAN
“Boston is my second home. Jag älskar det här. The people are so nice and there are good gyms.
“Jag är en spännande, underhållande kämpe som alltid kommer att kämpa.
“Efter att jag avsluta Eubanks, Jag ska vara No. 1 utmanare i WBA och Golovkin kan inte hålla mig längre.
“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, men när jag träffade folk, de faller.”
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.
“Med Ken Casey bakom mig, an impressive victory will get me a title shot. I’ll take any of them. Jag var en kamp bort, losing a qualifier. My grandmother passed away the day of my fight. Jag är redo nu!”

Boston vs. New York är en klassisk matchup som har dominerat sport rubriker i nordöstra under många år som New York Yankees och Boston Red Sox förde otaliga krig medan New England Patriots inför New York Giants i två Super Bowls och fortsatte sin långvariga rivalitet med New York Jets. Den rika tradition av denna rivalitet har också spillt in i ringen så många främsta kämparna från varje region har mött-off under årens lopp.
Den första stora Boston vs. NYC kampen går tillbaka till 1927 på Yankee Stadium, när Jack Dempsey stoppad Domkraft “Boston Gob” Sharkey i den sjunde omgången av deras tunga titeln eliminator att utmana världsmästare Gene Tunney. Controversy surrounded this fight as Sharkey, sjöman i US. Navy, kämpade hans boxning idol, Dempsey, som tillsammans med Babe Ruth ruled Manhattan during America’s Golden Age of Sports in the 1920s. Sharkey out-boxed Dempsey for six rounds until, klaga till domaren om Dempsey låga slag, Han slogs ut kalla med en bild perfekt vänsterkrok.
En annan legendariska tungvikt från Boston, Rocky Marciano, skulle inte ha avgått med sin berömda 49-0 record if one round or another were scored differently against Bronx favorite Roland LaStarza in 1950.

Tre år senare på Polo Grounds, Marciano framgångsrikt försvarade sin VM-titel, slå ut LaStarza i 11thrunda av deras 1953 Fight of the Year.
Ett par Hall of Fame tungviktare från Brooklyn, Floyd Patterson och “Järn” Mike Tyson, respektive, slås ut Bostons Tom McNeeley och hans son, Peter McNeeley. McNeeley dropped Patterson once but he hit the deck 11 gånger innan slutligen att duka under i den fjärde omgången av deras 1961 title fight in Toronto. His son, Peter, förlorats genom första omgången jäv Tyson som kämpade för den första sedan släpps från fängelset.
En brandman från Boston med spröda händer, Paul Pender, två gånger besegrade utan tvekan konsensus Greatest genom tiderna, Harlem “Socker” Ray Robinson, inte en gång utan två gånger med 15-runda split beslut 1960 världen mellanvikt titel slagsmål vid Boston Garden.
“Förunderliga” Marvin Hagler, en transplanterad New Jersey fighter som bodde i Marciano hemstad Brockton, Mass., kände rippade utanför när han fick oavgjort i sin första världstitelslagsmål mot Brooklyn försvararen Vito Antuofermo i Las Vegas. Två år senare 1981, Hagler fångade den eftertraktade krona i Boston Garden som Antuofermo avgick efter fyra omgångar.
Även Lowell “Irländsk” Micky Ward hade en New York City rival i Brooklyn 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.
På senare tid, Irish Olympian Kevin McBride, kämpar från Dorchester delen av Boston, slutade Tyson karriär i 2005 med en sjätte runda TKO seger som lämnade boxning världen i chock, och Boston tungvikt John Ruiz – den enda Latino tungvikt i världen – vann 2008 slåss i Mexiko mot Harlem Jameel McCline med 12-runda beslut i en värld titel eliminator.
På Oktober 10, O'Connor, Bracero, Kielczweski och Vazquez kommer att få sin chans att inte bara företräda sina hemstäder, men att etsa sig in i Annals of rivaliteten.
