The 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Alternate O’Connor (15-1, 4KO’s) will be taking on heavy-handed Bryan Abraham (5-7-2, 5KO’s) in a six-round junior welterweight match-up. O’Connor, who originally hails from Framingham, MA, has been training in Houston with Rodriguez under the watchful eye of top trainer Ronnie Shields. Abraham will be no pushover as he holds knockout wins over three previously undefeated fighters.
Davis (19-2-1, 9KO’s), the WBA #10 and WBC #10-ranked super middleweight, is scheduled to take on veteran Darnell Boone (19-17-3, 8KO’s). Davis is coming off of his most impressive victory to date, a 10-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Marcus Johnson (20-0, 15KO’s). Davis-Boone is scheduled for eight rounds.
The popular Quincy-native Kielczewski (11-0, 2KO’s), who goes by the alias “The Polish Prince”, will face off against Willie Villanueva (10-3, 2KO’s) in an eight-round junior lightweight showdown. Kielczewski had a stellar amateur career, registering an outstanding 118-26 record, and winning gold medals at the 2007 and 2008 New England Golden Gloves Tournament, capturing the prestigious Outstanding Boxer Award in 2008. Ryan reached the semifinals of the 2008 National Golden Gloves Tournament before turning pro later that same year.
New Haven’s Rosa (8-0, 5KO’s) will be looking to stay undefeated when he takes on Harvey Murray (4-2-2, 1KO) in a six-round bantamweight contest. Rosa was another decorated amateur, a gold medal winner at the 2007 National PAL Championships, a silver medalist at the Ringside World Championships and U.S. Nationals, in addition to being a member of the 2009-2010 U.S. Boxing Team, which competed against teams from Great Britain and Italy.
The 2008 Olympian Jack (7-0, 6KO’s) will look to make it seven straight stoppage victories in a row when he takes on dangerous Eddie Caminero (7-5, 7KO’s) in a six round super middleweight match-up.
Also looking to stay unbeaten on the card are Brooklyn junior middleweights Parsley (5-0, 2KO’s) and Frank Galarza (3-0, 1KO’s).
