Springs City Center. “Real Million Dollar Baby” Shea in Feature Fight July 30th World-ranked female featherweight Maureen Shea (14-2, 8 KOs) will face rugged veteran Liliana Martinez (8-10, 4 KOs) in a six-round feature fight with regional title implications July 30th at the Saratoga Springs City Center.
Shea, 29, first gained notoriety as Hillary Swank’s training partner as the Oscar-winning actress prepared for her role in Clint Eastwood’s “Million Dollar Baby” with trainer Hector Roca at Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn. Swank not only trained and sparred regularly with Shea, but attended the Bronx native’s amateur bouts in the New York area. A NY fight attraction since that time, Shea is now world-ranked by three championship sanctioning bodies. In her last fight at the Paradise Theater in the Bronx, she defeated overmatched Norma Faris (3-2, 1 KO), Puerto Rico, by third-round TKO. Martinez, 26, is a native of Dominican Republic and a 10-year veteran of the ring. She has faced a number of world-class women – including world champion Alesia Graf (24-1, 9 KOs), top-ranked Jenna Shiver (11-4, 2 KOs) and Dominican prospect Katy Penelope Hernandez (12-0, 8 KOs) – and challenged Magdelena Dahlen (10-2, 3 KOs) for a European title in November, 2009.

;Pugnacious
Promotions’ annual summer fight card showcasing young prospects will
open doors early this year to kick off the pro-am event with three
amateur bouts representing some of the area’s best young boxers. Pro fights include Guilderland lightweight prospect Mike Faragon (11-0, 5 KOs) vs. RI’s Eddie Soto (12-1, 4 KOs) in the eight-round main event and world-ranked female featherweight Maureen Shea (14-2, 8 KOs) against rugged veteran Liliana Martinez (8-10, 4 KOs) in a six-round regional title fight. Also appearing on the card are Troy light heavyweight and former All-American Shawn Miller (2-1, 1 KO), Delmar lightweight Zach Smith (3-1) and other fighters to be announced.
In
the amateur prelims, Greenwich, NY super heavyweight Josh Dulmer
will face New England regional champion Albany’s Amir Imam, one of the most accomplished boxers in the state, will box with 2009 NYS Golden Gloves Champion Ray Velez, Troy, in a rematch of one of the area’s most exciting bouts of 2010. Imam is ranked in the top five in the country after succeeding at numerous national and regional tournaments in his career. Most recently, he won the California PAL Championships 141 lb division and was named the outstanding boxer of the tournament. Velez was the 152 lb champion in last year’s NYS Golden Gloves Championship and is looking to avenge his defeat in their first welterweight match earlier this year. To begin the annual “Night of Future Champions,” 70-lb junior boxers Mike Barcia, Saratoga Springs, and Riley Mabee, Waterford, will box three one-minute rounds.
Heavyweight Shannon Miller fought former World Heavyweight Champion Hasim Rahman in Niagara Falls on June 19th and once again gave fans in attendance everything he had, stunning the former champ in the first round and battling through to earn the respect of everyone in the room at the event promoted in association with Nick Garone's X-Cel Worldwide.

Pugnacious Promotions continued to highlight the NY Capital Region's best young boxers with "Friday Night Frights: Future Stars Pro-Am Boxing" at Hudson Valley Community College's McDonaugh Fieldhouse on Friday, October 23rd. Schenectady NYS correction officer Brian Miller (6-0-3, 2 KOs) and Albany rival Rafael Luna (4-4-1, 1 KO) battled for the vacant NYS Lightweight Title in the card’s main event, with Miller outworking Luna for the unanimous decision. Guilderland prospect Mike Faragon (9-0, 3 KOs) took a tough six-round decision from Philadelphia fighter Julius Edmunds (5-6) in the six-round co-feature. HVCC football standout Shawn Miller (2-0, 1 KO), light heavyweight of Troy, returned to the college to overpower game Yonkers pro debuter Angel Gonzalez for a UD in a crowd-pleasing four. Exciting Plattsburgh female featherweight Jaci Trivilino (1-1-1) took apart Pepper VanDyke, pro debut from Marion, NC, and cruiserweight pro debuter Brian Cloakey, also of Plattsburgh, stopped Bronx Phil Hannah (0-4) in consecutive second-round TKOs. In New York’s first Pro-Am since 2005, two boxers who represented the state in different weight classes in last year’s National Golden Gloves, Ray Velez, Troy, narrowly defeated Will Madera, Albany, in a battle fought in close quarters between to very skilled boxers. Scoharie's Sarah Kuhn applied relentless pressure to defeat Troy’s Natasha Jefferson, heavyweight Roger Zapada beat Catskill’s Edwin McLucas and junior 65-lb boxer Jonathan Rodriguez, Albany, and Riley Mabee, Waterford, showed the great promise of amateur boxing in the opening bout won by Rodriguez.
