Undefeated featherweight Patrick Hyland Prepared to make Irish boxing history

Headlines vs. Carlos Fulgencio, Aug. 8 in Rochester, NY     Team Hyland (Photo by Amy Wiley)  POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (July 29, 2012) - Undefeated featherweight prospect Patrick "The Punisher" Hyland is on the brink of establishing an Irish boxing record for the most consecutive victories starting a professional career. Dublin-native Hyland (26-0, 12 KOs), now living in Marlboro (NY), shoots for his 27th Irish record-setting win in a row on Wednesday night, August 8, headlining an outdoor show, presented by Pretty Girl Promotions, at Sahlen Stadium in Rochester, New York. Hyland takes on hard-hitting Dominican Carlos "El Flaco" Fulgencio (19-7-1, 12 KOs) in the 10-round main event. Promoted by Final Round Promotions/Team Snooki Boxing, Hyland tied the record of 26, set by "Ireland's" John Duddy in 2009, with his devastating fourth-round stoppage of Frankie Archuleta (27-9-1) this past May in Poughkeepsie. "This will be a fantastic achievement and I'll always be remembered in Irish boxing history when people see my record," Hyland said. "I'd really like to top it off with a world title. As a fighter, I'm thinking that I need 10 strong weeks of training and I'd be ready to fight anybody in the world, but I realize my management team is preparing me for a world title shot and it takes time. They've kept me very busy. This is my third fight this year and I hope to be fighting again in September or October. I work hard in the gym every day, especially on my defense, and you never really stop learning in this game. I watch big fights and all of the different styles to plan how I'd plan to beat each style. "I'm excited about fighting in Rochester because there are a lot of Irish families there and it's not too far for my friends to get to from Poughkeepsie. My opponent is a stand-up fighter with 12 knockouts in 19 fights. He has a good counter-right that I have to look out for." The fast rising, 28-year-old Hyland is the reigning World Boxing Federation ("WBF") featherweight champion, who is rated No. 4 by the North American Boxing Organization ("NABO"), as well as No. 5 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) and United States Boxing Association (USBA). "We at Final Round Promotions/Team Snookie Boxing are excited and proud of the possibility that Patrick will set a new Irish boxing record for 27 consecutive wins without a loss to start his professional career," Final Round Promotions/Team Snookie Boxing Vice President Mike Pascale added. "Patrick has the heart and mind of a champion. His work ethic and preparation for any fight is incredible. There is no doubt that Patrick is a force to deal with in the featherweight division and it will not be long before he fights for a major world title. "So, I say to any promoters of featherweight champions, bring it on, if you're willing to take the risk."

Frankie Archuleta to test undefeated Irish Super Featherweight Patrick Hyland

'Irish Invasion' May 12 in Poughkeepsie, NY

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (April 11, 2012) - Battle-tested veteran boxer Frankie Archuleta figures to be a significant test for undefeated Irish super featherweight prospect Patrick "The Punisher" Hyland, headlining the "Irish Invasion" card, May 12 at Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York.

The "Irish Invasion" card is being presented by Final Round Promotions, in association with Team Snooki Boxing and Bob Duffy's Ring Promotions, and sponsored in part by Title Boxing.

Hyland (25-0, 11 KOs) and Archuleta (27-9-1, 14 KOs) square-off in the eight-round main event. The 28-year-old Hyland, a Dubliner now living in nearby Marlboro (NY), is rated No. 12 by the North American Boxing Association ("NABA"). Trained by two-division world champion Tracy Harris Patterson, Patrick is the reigning World Boxing Federation ("WBF") super featherweight champion.

Upset-minded Archuleta has a history in terms of pulling off surprises in the ring. The highlight of his career is a split-decision win over five-time world champion Johnny Tapia. A former New Mexico and Texas State champion, Frankie extended former world champion Alejandro Berrio and world title challenger Emmanuel Lucero the full 12-round distance in their respective fights. The vastly experienced Archuleta has also fought world champion Kevin Kelley and world title challengers Juan Carlos Burgos, Rocky Juarez and Daud Cino Yordan, as well as the International Boxing Federation's ("IBF") currently top-rated lightweight, John Molina, and No. 1 junior lightweight contender Martin Honorio.

Yonkers (NY) super featherweight Chazz McDowell (5-1, 1 KOs) faces Joseliz Cepeda (5-2) in the six-round co-feature. Canadian light welterweight Natasha Spencer (3-0-1, 2 KOs) meets Racquel Bailey (1-1-1) in a six-round female match.

Also fighting on the undercard in separate four-round bouts are undefeated Newburgh light welterweight favorite Treysean Wiggins (3-0, 3 KOs), New York City light middleweight Valdrin Muriqi (2-1), and Waterbury (CT) light welterweight Jair Ramos (2-0, 1 KO); former USA Mid-American middleweight champion Bryant "The Spartan" Pappas (13-0-1, 13 KOs) tangles with Josh Williams (5-4, 4 KOs), while unbeaten Poughkeepsie heavyweight Detroy Jones (5-0-1, 2 KOs) fights Kimani "King Kong" Cunningham (0-5) in a rematch from a year ago..

Pappas, a sergeant in the Yonkers Police Department, is a cancer survivor who is donating his purse to cancer research. Team Snooki Boxing is donating $1.00 from each sold ticket to Rolling Thunder, Chapter III New York to support needy U.S. military veterans.
Tickets, reasonably priced at $35.00, $50.00 and $100 (Gold Ringside), are available to purchase at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center and through all Ticketmaster outlets.
