A little over two years after her pro debut, Hardy won an international title belt in the super bantamweight division in October 2014. In 2015, she defeated Noemi Bosques and Renata Domsodi twice. In her lone 2016 fight, she stopped Anna Donatella Hultin in the fourth round. She will be opposed by Aurora, Colorado's Simmons who has won nine fights in a row after losing her pro debut. A two-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Kownacki had a big 2015, notching four victories including knockouts of Maurenzo Smith and Randy Easton. Born in Lomza, Poland, the 26-year-old now calls Brooklyn home. His 2016 campaign began in January at Barclays Center when he defeated Danny Kelly in front of a raucous Polish crowd. He will take on Barboza out of Hyannis, Massachusetts. The 29-year-old Barboza was a three-time New England Heavyweight Golden Gloves champion. # # # Barclays Center's BROOKLYN BOXING™ programming platform is presented by AARP.

  • Dec 2019/Jan 2020
    President’s Message Hello Branch Members. Welcome to the Holidays. Dare I mention, just 23 days until our holiday party; 34 days until Hanukkah; 37 days until Christmas; and 38 days until Kwanzaa. Phew! Are we ready? As usual, I’m getting there, but I must admit I enjoy the frenzy, family, friends and fun that the holidays bring each year. Even with my responsibilities, when the holidays arrive, I remember, with gratitude, my many blessings. The season reminds me that I am more fortunate than many with a warm roof over my head; food in my pantry; friends who have my back; and the funds to live comfortably. In addition, I have family who value education, work hard for their economic security, and encourage promotion into leadership positions at work and in volunteer organizations. I’m never surprised that AAUW is an important organization in my life. The values I grew up with and embrace mirror the strategic goals of AAUW: Education, Economic Security and Leadership. Many of you know that my mother, Jean Turner, was a Cal graduate back in the 1940’s and the first in my family to join AAUW. She was a young mom looking for a worthy cause and an opportunity to have intelligent adult discussions with like-minded women. I believe that’s what AAUW represents for many of us. An organization which gives us a chance to support and enhance the lives of women and girls in our community while giving us a sense of purpose. We see our blessings in these values and understand the need to bring these blessings to all women and girls.
