On March 15th, Yorgey and Kennedy battled to a disputed six round split decision for which Yorgey’s hands were raised in victory. Many in the crowd disagreed and the two will mix it up in the rematch. Yorgey of Bridgeport, PA has a record of 26-2-1 with 12 knockouts and is looking to get back into title contention. Yorgey was undefeated in his first twenty three bouts (22-0-1) with big wins over Ronnie Warrior Jr. (11-0-1); Jason LeHoullier (21-0-1) & Ronald Hearns (21-0) before losing to heralded Alfredo Angulo. Yorgey got back with three consecutive victories before being stopped in eight to undefeated Jermell Charlo on January 26th in Las Vegas. His last bout was the aforementione...

In the main event bout of the evening, before his army of fans, Long Island's favorite son "Irish" Seanie Monaghan improved his record to a perfect 14-0, 9KO's, winning the WBC Continental Americas Light Heavyweight title in the process with an eighth-round TKO over Romero Johnson. The crowd went into an uproar as soon as the bagpipes sounded to signal Monaghan's walk into the ring, and they didn't let up for the entire contest. Monaghan jumped on Johnson from the opening bell, scoring with hard combinations to both the body and head. Johnson showed that he came to fight though, choosing to stand toe-to-toe with the heavy-handed Monaghan. Monaghan, who is known for his aggressive nonstop action style, switched things midway through the fight, showing another dimension to his arsenal by bo...

Behind Bernstein sat a ''who's who'' of boxing legends, including Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler and Aaron Pryor. Bernstein, the noted boxing analyst for Showtime, was one of the six living members of this year's induction class, which featured the likes of Thomas ''The Hitman'' Hearns and Mark ''Too Sharp'' Johnson. As he began his speech, Bernstein glanced at the greats behind him and was humbled. ''This Hall of Fame is essentially for the great boxers you see on this stage,'' Bernstein said. ''It is built for them. It is their house. This Hall of Fame is very generous in the way it welcomes those of us who filled another function for boxing.

The other six bouts on the card will showcase some of the New York area's most exciting and popular fighters including Will Rosinsky, Gabriel Bracero, Boyd Melson, Sonya Lamonakis and Floriano Pagliara, all in separate bouts. Rosinsky (15-1, 9KO's), a four-time New York Golden Glove Champion, is set to square off against the very dangerous Aaron Pryor Jr. (16-5, 11KO's) in an eight-round light heavyweight showdown.  Rosinsky bounced back...

This will be the second United States fight for Oosthuizen, who won a unanimous decision over Aaron Pryor Jr., in his stateside debut on Sept. 3, 2011, in Biloxi, Miss.

The fight will be held at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Okla. Oosthuizen, the freakishly tall southpaw from Boksburg, Gauteng, South Africa, is on a slow and steady march toward a world title. Standing 6-foot-4, Oosthuizen's long reach and decent power present a difficult problem to solve. He has fought the majority of his career in South Africa, and made his American debut last September on the undercard of Andre Berto's technical stoppage victory over Jan Zaveck in September, scoring a unanimous decision victory over Aaron Pryor Jr. A victory over Johnson, another well-regarded prospect, puts him one step closer to a world title shot.

Big news out of Thailand on Friday, as longtime flyweight kingpin Pongsaklek Wonjongkam was stopped in the 6th round by unsung challenger Sonny Boy Jaro of the Philippines. Jaro, now 34-10-5, controlled most of the bout, flooring Pongsaklek, now 83-4-2, in rounds one and three, before Jaro dropped the hammer in the fatal 6th. Pongsaklek was beaten into submission against the ropes in a finish that conjured up images of Aaron Pryor smashing Alexis Arguello into defeat. Credit: Scott Mallon / From Wikipedia An early leading candidate for Upset of the Year, Jaro had shown himself to be a capable fighter during his 10-year career, but one who had come up decidedly short against the best. Among his 10 defeats are 7 stoppage losses, including a one-round loss to Giovani Segura in 2009. After consecutive losses to Oscar Ibarra (KO by 2) and 4-fight neophyte Hirofumi Mukai in 2010-2011, his career appeared to be winding down. One could ev...

Lemieux started out strong rocking Alcine in the first round and continued being the aggressor for the next couple of rounds. Alcine started to fight his way back into the fight in the fourth round using a strong jab, good counterpunches, and slick movement. Alcine rocked Lemieux in the fifth round with a big right hand but David kept applying the pressure as the bout wore into the championship rounds.

Having suffered a defeat at the hands of Aaron Pryor Jr., the future of super middleweight Dyah Davis -- whose father had crossed paths with Pryor's -- remained unclear. The Coconut Creek, Fla. native quietly rebounded with an impressive 2011, going 2-0-1 with a signature victory over then unbeaten and highly regarded Marcus “Too Much” Johnson in a ShoBox 10-round headliner in April. Slated to fight former Kelly Pavlik adversary Alfonso Lopez in the co-featured bout on ESPN Friday Night Fights’ season opener on Jan. 6, Davis is looking to carry his momentum into the new year. His November 2010 meeting with Aaron Pryor Jr. stalled said momentum, if only for a brief moment. The provenance of the Davis-Pryor rivalry actually predates the existence of both fighters, when Davis’...
