Long Islands Michael “Lefty” Brooks and Bronx, NY’s Jamal Brown.

The two started fast with Brown looking to establish his right hand lead and the bigger Brooks firing lead right hooks and straight heavy left hands. After the first round came to a close it was obvious Brooks was the stronger of the two pressing the action but not finding his true rhythm until the middle of the second round when at the urging of his trainer Joe Higgins the former president of USA Boxing Metro that Brooks began to use his jab. Brooks pressure lead Brown landing a heavy low blow costing him a point and becoming just the motivation “Lefty” needed. Brooks picked it up going on to hurt Brown with a thudding left to the body followed by a right hook up top prompting the referee to halt the bout at 2:51 of round four. Brooks now 1-0, 1Ko for his nights work leaving Brown to wait for another night to get find his first victory.

Bronx NY”s Raul Lopez and New Rochelle’s Jose “Chili” Rivera renewing their acquaintance from the amateurs with six action packed, leather pounding rounds. The only thing Sanchez and Lopez had on this pair was the fifteen round distance.

Lopez began fighting behind a tight defense using a sneaky jab to set up good right hands and left hooks both to Rivera’s body and head. Rivera not to be out done applied the pressure making Lopez earn every shot landing some big hooks and uppercuts of his own. While the fighting was fierce the rounds were very close with both combatants answering the others call immediately.

                  
the two warriors locked at 57-57 on our card. The official scores were read with two of the judges seeing it 57-57 and the third judge scoring it 58-56 for Lopez declaring the bout a majority draw, a fitting end to a skilled toe to toe well matched war with both fighters battling laying it on the line to the delight of the raving crowd. No trick here a pure treat.

the big boys with Greenpoint, Brooklyn’s heavyweight two time gold glove winner Adam Kownacki making his pro debut versus Philadelphia’s “heavy” weight Carousse Auponte, 0-2. Kownacki accompanied by a large Polish fan base including “The Raging Bull” Pawel Wolak all banging and chanting for their Polish pugilist inspiring him to open with an all out assault banging the “big” Philly fighter around the ring banging him with two hard rights to the body inviting the Polish heavyweight to open up with both hands first downstairs then up to the head causing Auponte to turn his back forcing the referee to call the action just :22 seconds into the opening stanza bringing the fast rising frenzy to a boil.

YONKERS, N.Y. (October 16, 2009) – No trick or treatin’, ghosts, ghouls or vampires — just a night of exciting, competitive pro boxing on tap Halloween Eve (Oct. 30) at the Yonkers Armory.

“Halloween Havoc,” featuring some of New York’s most promising prospects, is being presented by O’Shea Brothers Boxing Promotions.

“We’re bringing old-school boxing back to the fans,” promoter Brian O’Shea said. “We’re showcasing a lot of young, talented fighters on this card. We have real fighters, not guys fighting easy, hand-picked opponents.”

Puerto Rican heavyweight Alexis Mejias (10-1, 4 KOs), fighting out of Paterson, New Jersey, headlines against Josh Harris (3-3-1, 2 KOs) in the 6/8 round main event.

In the 6-round co-feature, Bronx featherweights, “Crazy” Eddie Irizarry (7-1, 2 KOs) and Joey Arroyo (2-1, 0 KOs) throw-down for neighborhood bragging rights.

Unbeaten African welterweight Issouf Kinda (5-0, 3 KOs) fights an opponent to be determined in a 6-rounder, while two 1-0 bantamweights with a common past, Raul Lopez (1-0, 1 KO) and Jose “Chilli” Rivera (1-0, 0 KOs), rekindle their rivalry in a 6-round match.

Also on the undercard in 4-round bouts is super middleweight Shqiprim “ White Tiger” Muriqi (1-0, 0 KOs) vs. Fasika Bezabeth, light middleweight Lambros “Lionheart” Karaolides (3-0, 2 KOs) vs. TBA, pro debuting heavyweight Adam Kownacki vs. TBA, pro debuting lightweights Michael Brooks and Jamel Brown, super featherweight Angel “Terror” Torres (1-3-2, 1 KO) vs. Takeshi Sato in his pro debut. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

“It’s going to be a great night of boxing,” O’Shea noted. “We have two 1-0 kids, Lopez and Rivera, fighting each other again. They fought three times in the New York Golden Gloves with Lopez winning twice. Kinda’s a solid prospect, ‘Crazy’ Eddie’s only loss in eight pro fights was a close decision, and Kownacki is a 2-time New York Golden Gloves champion.”

Tickets, priced at $40.00, $60.00 and $100.00 (includes dinner), are available to purchase by calling 914.216.9381. For more information go on line at www.osheabrosboxing.com or call 914.216.9381. Doors open 6:30 PM/ET, first bout 7:30 PM/ET.

Brian O’Sheas card on September 18th, 2009 promises to be a night of Prospects, like never before.  The Headline of the night will be Carlos Zambrano Vs. Jason Rori, which should be an exciting and promising match.

Another attraction on the show is the 9-0  Will Rosinsky as he takes on his most challenging match against the veteran Raynard Darden.

I would also like to add we will have Denis “mommas boy” Douglin against Rondu Campbell who should be taken anything but lightly.

Tickets are priced $40 bleachers, $60 floor and VIP Ring Side Seats & Dinners $100. For tickets call 914-216-9381 or 914-618-1584
