Goes Pro!

October 23, 2009
(OCT 23) Long Islands Joe “The
Irish Bomber” Smith an accomplished amateur boxer with New York Metro
and Gold Gloves Championships among his accolades will be making his
long awaited pro debut next week. Smith a 6 foot 178lber pugilist who
punched his way through the amateur’s early on turning boxer as his body
filled out winning numerous tournaments.
Smith, 20 years old is a handsome, sculptured Irishman who wears a smile
like a shining shamrock. “The Irish Bomber” got his moniker way back
when he began his boxing career at Long Islands Atlantic Boxing Gym in
Shirley, New York where his natural boxing skills and punching power was
obvious early on.
“The Irish Bomber” will make his pro debut on Halloween Oct. 31st on
Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc’s. “Fright
Night at the Sun” card at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conneticut as
Smith will be fighting on the undercard of world-rated light heavyweight
Joey “KO Kid” Spina versus former world champion Lou “Honey Boy” Del
Valle 10 round main event.
Team Smith is managed by Phil Capobianco and trained by his brother
Gerry. The Capobianco brothers both former fighters come from a boxing
family as their father John was an accomplished light heavyweight
fighting from 1973-1982 and should give Smith a solid base. The
managerial guidance and training from brothers Capobianco together with
Smith’s raw two handed punching power and developing boxing skills has
had him compared to the likes of Kelly Pavlik and Mike Rossman. Having
had the pleasure to watch his career advance I can guarantee he has what
its takes and a must see. He will give the Irish boxing loyal something
to be proud of and surely give John Duddy a run for his 'airgead'.
