Taylor: Boston Can Become My Second Home TAYLOR: BOSTON CAN BECOME MY SECOND HOME (Boston, Ma, Oct 15) Katie Taylor believes another show- stealing performance in her WBA and IBF World Lightweight title defense against Cindy Serrano at the TD Garden on Saturday night, live on DAZN can make her become a household name in Boston. Taylor (10-0 5KOs) puts her titles on the line for the second time since picking the titles up in a war with Victoria Bustos in Brooklyn, New York in April, and her clash with Serrano (27-5-3 10KOs) marks Taylor’s third outing in America. The 32 year old is sure to be a great hit with the Irish fans in Boston, and Taylor believes that taking over the Massachusetts capital and building a fan base to come back and unify the 135lbs division. “I’m so excited about this fight,” said Taylor. “The fact it’s in Boston means it’s going to be like a home from home for me in there with all the Irish support. “I love fighting in the US and this is a really big fight with a big name on a huge platform in Boston and on DAZN. These are the kinds of fights that I am in the sport for. “It’s been an incredible journey so far. I am probably the highest paid female fighter in the World thanks to Eddie and Matchroom, I spoke to a lot of promoters before I spoke to Eddie and he really did have the same vision that I had. “Eddie was as excited as me about the future, and now I have the chance to be a part of the new venture with DAZN too which is great for me. I am developing a fan base in the US as well as back home in Ireland and the UK, it’s such an exciting time for me and I am loving the pro game.” Taylor’s clash with Serrano is part of a huge bill in Boston with three World title bouts on the slate. Rhode Island’s Demetrius Andrade () aims for two-weight World glory as he faces big-punching unbeaten Namibian Walter Kautondokwa for the vacant WBO Middleweight title and Philadelphia’s Tevin Farmer makes the first defense of his IBF World Super-Featherweight title against hard-hitting Belfast man James Tennyson. Rhode Island’s Toka Kahn Cleary faces England’s Kid Galahad in a final eliminator for the IBF World Featherweight title, England’s all-action Tommy Coyle meets Quincy, Mass.’s Ryan Kielczweski over ten rounds, England’s Freddie Roach trained former World ruler Scott Quigg returns on the bill and Kazakhstan’s Olympic gold medal hero Daniyar Yeleussinov tastes action for the fourth time in the paid ranks. Local favorite Mark DeLuca (Whitman, Mass.) is gunning for revenge when he meets Walter Wright in a rematch of their keenly fought clash in June that Wright edged via split decision, while there’s more Irish interest in Gorey Heavyweight Niall Kennedy and Tennyson’s fellow Belfast man Sean McComb. Tickets for October 20 are on sale now from www.TDGarden.com.

    Comments Received Australian Institute of Sport ‘Recently, scientists at the Australian Institute of Sport quantified the reliability of the StrikeMate for measuring maximal punching power in athletes. Their findings help coaches and athletes interpret the results of testing using the StrikeMate. Their assessments showed that if an athlete’s punching power improves by more than 1.8% over time, they can be confident that their training has lead to positive change in performance, not simply random variation’ Clare Humberstone PhD BSc (Hons) Senior Sport Physiologist Australian Sports Commission http://www.ausport.gov.au/ Richard Vince (richardvince.com) 8th Dan Black Belt. ‘We purchased a 'StrikeMate' to use to draw people to our stand when we attend Martial/fighting Arts shows, tournaments, conventions etc. Whenever we have set up the 'StrikeMate' and encouraged a few people to start the ball rolling, we have been inundated with individuals eager to test their power on the device. So far (after approximately 100 weeks of regular use) it has shown itself to be reliable, accurate and durable. As you would expect, the goal of some Martial Artists has been to endeavour to break the machine. The device has, so far, shown no sign of yielding to this onslaught. The readings are clear and simple and the results seem consistent. It is a great piece of equipment; we also use it with our students at our Academy as a retention tool. Each student may attempt to increase their power each month if they so choose’. With respect Richard Vince Master Vince started his career in Martial Arts in 1979 at Ipswich Martial Arts Centre.

  • Press Conference Quotes from Matchroom Boxing Usa in Boston
    PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES FROM MATCHROOM BOXING USA IN BOSTON Eddie Hearn, President of Matchroom Boxing USA: “I am thrilled to be bringing this triple-header of World championship action to the TD Garden in Boston. “We want to take major fight nights to major cities across America that haven’t had the chance to witness this great sport in the flesh, that’s why we’re in Chicago on October 6 and then in Boston on October 20 – we’re taking this great sport to great cities in great arenas like the TD Garden with the best night of boxing the city has seen.” Billy Joe Saunders – Hertfordshire, England – 26 (12) – 0 – defending his WBO World Middleweight title against Demetrius Andrade “This is such a big fight. The two main men at Middleweight at the moment is GGG and Canelo – and neither of them want to fight me or Demetrius. There’s a lot of smoke and mist in the division right now, and when it clears up I will be the man standing there. “All jokes and trash talk aside, this is going to be a really good fight. Does anyone want to fight Demetrius? No. Does anyone want to fight me? No. We have to fight each other to prove who the number one guy is. Technically, we are the best two in the division, and the winner is going to be number one. I’m World champion, I’ve been more active, I’ve boxed the better opposition – but I have to beat this man. “David Lemieux is a bum, a bum – he’s not worth talking about and I don’t take any credit from beating him.

  • Lara and Warrington Collide in Huge Rematch, Taylor Faces Han at Emerald Headingley Stadium on September 4
    LARA AND WARRINGTON COLLIDE IN HUGE REMATCH, TAYLOR FACES HAN AT EMERALD HEADINGLEY STADIUM ON SEPTEMBER 4 Mauricio Lara and Josh Warrington will rematchin an epic showdownat Emerald Headingley Stadium on Saturday September 4, live worldwide on DAZN. The co-main event will also feature undisputed Lightweight World Champion Katie Taylor, who puts all her belts on the line against IBF Mandatory Challenger Jennifer Han. ‘The Leeds Warrior’ (30-1, 7 KOs) was floored and ruthlessly finished by Mexico’s Lara (22-2, 15 KOs) in a sensational knockout loss at The SSE Arena, Wembley in February that put a massive dent in the former IBF Featherweight World Champion’s unification plans. Warrington endured a stunning upset defeat as he was dropped and nearly stopped in the fourth round before ‘Bronco’ sent him crashing to the canvas again in the ninth to end the 30- year-old’s unbeaten record. The upset-of-the-year contender sent shockwaves through the 126lbs division and now Warrington will look to exact revenge in front of a capacity crowd at the home of the Leeds Rhinos in the biggest fight of his career. Undisputed Lightweight rulerTaylor (18-0, 6 KOs) defends her WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO and Ring Magazine crowns against her latest Mandatory ChallengerHan (18-3-1, 1 KOs) in the co-main event, another huge stage for the best in women’s boxing. The Irish star was forced to dig deep as she retained her World Titles via a unanimous decision victory after another memorable meeting with Natasha Jonas last time out at Manchester Arena in May – nine years on from their London 2012 Olympic Games bout.

  • Amanda Serrano Looks to Avenge Only Career Blemish This Saturday Against Ela Nunez at Turning Stone–Watch Live on Gfl
    AMANDA SERRANO LOOKS TO AVENGE ONLY CAREER BLEMISH THIS SATURDAY AGAINST ELA NUNEZ AT TURNING STONE–WATCH LIVE ON GFL CLICK TO ORDER THE FIGHT VERONA, NY (January 26, 2011)—This Saturday night at the beautiful Turning Stone Casino and Resort in Verona, New York, undefeated female featherweight, Amanda Serrano will look to “avenge” her only career blemish when she takes on Ela Nunez in a six round bout. The main event will feature a ten round heavyweight battle for the WBC Caribbean Heavyweight championship between former U.S. Olympian Jason “Big Six” Estrada and Franklin Lawrence. The fight card will be streamed all over the world LIVE on www.gofightlive.tv Serrano and Nunez fought to a toe to toe draw back on November 20, 2009 in Atlantic City. Serrano of Brooklyn, New York has a record of 7-0-1 with four knockouts, knows the first fight was an aberration and will look to not only win but emphatically on Saturday. “I took the first fight on short notice”, said Serrano. “I only knew about for a week. This fight will be different as I am training much harder and there will be no surprises.” Serrano was influenced by her sister, former two-time title challenger Cindy Serrano, who herself is 15-3-1. “I was in the gym all day watching her. I just wanted to fight and then I won the Golden Gloves. She is my best sparring partner and she always gives me hints to help me improve.” “I take this sport seriously and would someday want to be the face of woman’s boxing”, said the twenty-two year old Serrano.

  • If You're Lucky Enough to Be Irish, You're Lucky Enough! St
    ICA Theme Profile If You're Lucky Enough to be Irish, You're Lucky Enough! St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Created by: Richard Mullins Working intensity: moderate to very hard Length: 50 minutes Concept Behind the Profile Ireland has a population of 5 million people, but 70 million people call it home. We are the friendly Irish and we are the fighting Irish! I’ve picked several key moments in Irish culture that got Ireland noticed across the world and tied them into working intervals of varying duration. The terrain of Ireland is constantly changing, so be prepared for terrain that could always shift under your feet! The scope of this profile is to work below threshold, then at threshold, and finally give riders the option to work above threshold. When you ask a tourist about Ireland or if you think about how Ireland is perceived outside of our small isle, we are, in many cases, associated with the colour green, Guinness, and anything else that fits a stereotype. All one has to do is look at any tourist T-shirt! Let’s think beyond these stereotypes; Ireland has thrown herself into the world arena many times over the last few years (and before that) in the areas of dance, film, music, economics, and politics. These pivotal moments have slowly changed how we are perceived in the world. As the ride begins, I do like to mention a few quotes that various film and TV characters around the world have referenced about Ireland to lighten the mood. I will include some at the very end of this profile.
