Duddy
headlines "Mayhem in Mansfield" Sept. 17 at Dana Barros Sports Complex,
Mansfield, MA
WOBURN, Mass. (August 17, 2005) - Unbeaten Irish middleweight sensation
John Duddy (11-0, 10 KOs) will headline "Mayhem in Mansfield," September
17 at the Dana Barros Sports Complex in Mansfield, Massachusetts.
"Mayhem in Mansfield" is promoted by New England Ringside Promotions in
association with Irish Ropes and Cedric Kushner Productions.
Duddy, 26, is a native of County Derry in Northern Ireland, now fighting
out of Queens (NY). He is coming off of a scintillating eighth-round
knockout of veteran Patrick Coleman (29-11) last month on ESPN2 Friday
Night Fights.
"It's long overdue," Duddy said about fighting in the Boston area. "I'm
really excited about fighting there. Boston has a large Irish
contingent. I'm looking forward to having a lot of fans there and,
hopefully, leaving with a lot more than I have right now. I'm going to
put on a show so they know who I am. They're going to see an all out
explosion in the ring."
Duddy will be in the eight-round main event against and opponent yet to
be determined.
"We're excited to have one of the top prospects in boxing headlining our
show," New England Ringside Promotions president Rick Brutti added.
"John Duddy is a star in the making and fans around here have been
waiting a long time to watch him fight live. Dana Barros, the former NBA
star, owns a beautiful facility that's within a 30-minute drive of
Boston, Providence and Worcester. It seems natural to have a former
Boston Celtics player hosting a fight featuring John Duddy and James
Moore."
Moore (1-0, 1 KO), a Bronze Medal winner at the 2001 World Amateur
Championships, is scheduled to fight in his first six-round match. The
27-year-old junior middleweight is from County Wicklow, Ireland. He now
lives around the corner from Duddy in Queens.
Former Massachusetts super middleweight champion Derrick "Double Impact"
Whitley (22-23-3, 11 KOs) is matched against light heavyweight Dhafir
"No Fear" Smith (13-9-2, 3 KOs) of Pennsylvania in the eight-round
co-feature.
In scheduled four-round matches, Worcester welterweight Luis Villamontes,
fighting out of Brockton, faces David Lee Marquez, of Colorado Springs,
in pro debuts for both fighters; three-time New York City Golden Gloves
champion Jorge Teron (5-0, 4 KOs) is also on the card. Other undercard
bouts will soon be announced. All fights and fighters are subject to
change.
Tickets are priced at $100.00 (VIP/ringside), $55.00 (reserved), and
$35.00 general admission. Tickets may be ordered by going to
