O’Connor, McCreedy & Clampitt showcased on ‘Shamrock’d’ March 19 show at Twin River Event Center, RI

PROVIDENCE (Feb. 22, 2010) – The St. Patrick’s Day celebration will extend two days as Irish-American boxers, led by hot, unbeaten prospect Danny O’Connor, the popular “Irish” Joey McCreedy and 4-time world champion Jaime “Hurricane” Clampitt, will be in action March 19 on the “Shamrock’d” pro card, presented by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc. (CES), at Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, R.I..

“Shamrock’d” kicks-off a recently signed multi-fight deal in 2010 between CES and Twin River that continues May 7, July 9, Sept. 3 and Nov. 12.

“We’re very happy that our Twin River schedule will continue for its fourth straight year,” CES president Jimmy Burchfield said. “The Twin River Event Center is one of the most beautiful venues in all of boxing. There isn’t a bad seat in the house and everybody at Twin River has been great to work with.

“CES will continue to promote evenly-matched, entertaining cards at Twin River, starting March 19th with ‘Shamrock’d,” which is loaded from top to bottom. Some of the most popular and talented fighters in New England will be in action. We’ll be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day – O’Connor, McCreedy and Clampitt are typically tough Irish fighters – but Italian fight fans will be celebrating St. Joseph’s Day.”

O’Connor (10-0, 3 KOs), fighting out of Framingham (MA), is an undefeated junior welterweight prospect who was a 2008 U.S. Olympic Tam alternate. The stylish southpaw faces his stiffest test as a pro in Franklin Gonzalez (13-3, 9 KOs), a dangerous Dominican puncher now living in Brooklyn. O’Connor-Gonzalez is the 8-round main event.

McCreedy (11-4-1, 6 KOs), fighting out of Lowell (MA), is the reigning EBA and New England super middleweight champion. He is dropping down to middleweight to fight an opponent to be determined in a 6-round bout.

Clampitt (20-4-1, 7 KOs) returned to the ring last November after taking 1 ½ years off to have her first baby, taking a 6-round decision from Rachel Clark. The Canadian-born, Warwick (RI) resident faces TBA in a 6-round fight.

A 6-round rematch for the EBA New England lightweight title will be held between unbeaten, defending champion Eddie “The Puerto Rican Sensation” Soto (12-0, 4 KOs) and challenger Sean Eklund (6-4, 1 KO). This inter-state rivalry pits Pawtucket’s (RI) Soto against Lowell’s Eklund, who is trained by his uncle, “Irish” Micky Ward, in a rematch of their hotly-contested, controversial, split-decision, won by Soto last February at Twin River. Soto overcame two knockdowns to win.

Also scheduled to fight Mar. 19 on “Shamrock’d” against opponents to be determined are New Bedford (MA) welterweight Jason “School Boy” Pires (22-3, 9 KOs), the former USBA super bantamweight champion and active New Bedford police officer; Warwick (RI) super middleweight Keith Kozlin (4-0, 2 KOs) and Philadelphia lightweight Frankie Trader (6-0, 2 KOs). Also slated to be in action is the newest member of Team CES, Barnstable (MA) heavyweight prospect Jessie Barboza (2-0, 2 KOs), a 3-time New England Golden Gloves champion. All bouts and boxers are subject to change.

yer bet would be void and therefore ya'd only get wan a the bets paid - or neither!

 

Aye, it does seem a bit too good to be true, but paddypower online seem to be able to take it as a double. Maybe its slipped through their net.

 

thats what I was thinking myself!

 

:yepThe cream of the country will be on display. :rasta

 

Yeah bookies copped on to that one some years ago. Apparently you could that type of bet freely 'back in the day'. Powers let you place all sorts of bets online but they are a right shower of ****s for taking it back off you after the fact. They might pay you the double then void half of it (you do get paid on the single) and deduct your account. The trick is to take it out before they get to that stage.

I had killings with them once. I won the guts of 10k and wanted to take it all out and they didn't want to let me. Shower of ****ing chancers! I don't place bets with them since then

 

McBride says he is making a comeback - how about him facing the Rogan/Barrett winner?

 

He needs to get in shape first (I hear hes around 300lbs and has a dodgey ankle)
