California vs. Ireland

Twelve bouts of amateur Olympic-style boxing highlight activities are scheduled for Irish Week 2006 in San Jose celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Sister Cities relationship between San Jose and the Irish capital. This will be the third time a team from Ireland has fought in San Jose as part of the Irish Week celebration. The last time was in 1998 and featured many of the best boxers in each country. Once again we expect a great night of amateur boxing that you won't want to miss:

132 pounds – Anthony Hopkins, 19 - vs. - Stan Martyniouk, 20

Martyniouk is the United States' second-ranked boxer at 132 pounds and will be fresh from U.S. championships.

It was the pride of the Irish week when team California took on team Ireland at the Civic Auditorium in San Jose. With many boxing fans in attendance looking to support their team, many fans dealt with a different out look as team Ireland gave a big taste of their own medicine. Ireland had the crowd out raged as they were winning decisions fight after fight in this international competition. But it was the crowd pleaser once again Stan Martyniouk in the 132 lb lightweight bout who put the crowd back on their feet and gave team California the victory they were looking for. Stan Martyniouk the United States #2 ranked lightweight, took on Anthony Hopkins out of Dublin, Ireland. With his great hand speed and international experience under his belt, Martyniouk was able to counter and fire off quick combinations that had Hopkins running around the ring. Hopkins tried to use his awkward style as he jumped in and out with his punches but Martyniouk was prepared for that as he countered Hopkins with good hooks and straight right hands that had Hopkins hurt in the middle rounds. But it was the last round when Martyniouk brought the crowd back to its feet as he came out firing big shots that had Hopkins confused and hurt on the ropes. Hopkins tried to avoid the big shots as he tried to move but was unable to as Martyniouk made it clear that the victory would be his. Martyniouk gave team California the victory they were looking for but it was not enough to defeat team Ireland as Ireland won 9 bouts to team California who were able to pull out only 3 victories. At the end of the night both teams put on a great show that had these boxing fans satisfied and asking for more.

USA vs. Mexico

On a night featuring feathered Aztec dancers, a mariachi band and a Howard Cosell look-alike with a microphone, a team of amateur boxers from Mexico defeated its American counterparts in a dual meet Sunday night at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.

Mexico brought its best amateur fighters, and it showed. The visitors won six of 11 bouts in nine weight categories to claim the dual-meet win.

An estimated crowd of 1,500 watched an evening of spirited boxing by young men hoping to make their respective Olympic teams in 2008 and use the experience to turn pro.

Toward that end, the young American team needed look no further than ringside spectator Andre Ward, the 2004 Olympic gold medalist from Oakland who is undefeated as a fledgling pro.

"He's a big inspiration to all of us, a gold medalist," said Sacramento's Stan Martyniouk, a winner in his 132-pound bout. "He's from Northern California, which is even better. To follow in his footsteps would be great."

Martyniouk broke a 3-3 tie in the dual meet with a decision of 26-19 over Jorge Perez. Martyniouk started slowly but used the time to figure out his taller opponent. Perez, in fact, was the tallest of Mexico's 11 fighters, and had a natural reach advantage over the American.

"I wasn't expecting that," Martyniouk said. "Usually I'm one of the tallest guys in my weight division. We didn't expect to fight someone taller. I was trying to box him, give him a different look."

Martyniouk, who was born in Estonia but has lived in the U.S. the past 16 years, returned to the venue where he won a San Francisco Golden Gloves title earlier this year.

"Winning in the hometown feels excellent," said Martyniouk, generously including San Francisco in the greater Sacramento area. "I had my fans over here, cheering me on. I got a lot of energy."

USA vs. Korea

After three days of activities in Reno, the 2005 USA vs. Korea Dual got underway on Saturday night in the Eldorado Hotel and Casino Convention Center in Reno, Nev. The top boxers from both nation's faced off in 10 Olympic-style bouts in front of a packed house of boxing fans and when the night was completed the teams had boxed to a 5-5 tie.

With Baltazar recording a huge win for his team, lightweight Stan Martyniouk (Antelope, Calif.) looked to continue the tremendous momentum for his team in his contest with 2004 Olympian Jong Sub Baik of Korea. Martyniouk kept the bout close through the first four minutes of boxing and as the bout moved into the fourth round it was locked at 15. As the boxers stepped out of the corners for the final round, they knew that the next 120 seconds would determine the winner of the contest and Martyniouk decided the bout would be his. Despite losing a point from the referee, in the last round, Martyniouk won a 24-20 decision over Baik to notch the second straight win for his United States team.

Stan Martyniouk, 132, Antelope, Calif., decided to give the Koreans a bit of their own medicine, drawing the ire of the referee, who gave Baik Jong-Sub two points when he caught Martyniouk holding in the fourth round.

Martyniouk responded with a flurry off the ropes, rocking Baik and subtly pushing him to the canvas along the way to a 24-20 decision. Asked if the push was intentional, Martyniouk grew serious.

"Oh yeah, definitely," he deadpanned. "He was a lot more experienced, a lot older, physically stronger and more experienced. I'm younger and had to use my speed. The crowd pumped me up. I couldn't let the crowd down. I had to bring back our second victory."

Martyniouk said the coaches advice before his fight and again between rounds made the difference.

"The coaches were telling us that they're very strong and they go forward and they like to wrestle and throw looping punches, so I didn't know how it would be," Martyniouk said. "He was very awkward to fight."

Lopez was pleased overall with his team's performance.

"We did not get what I consider outclassed," Lopez said. "We got outhustled. A couple youngsters, we've got to work on their strength and their stance, but overall in terms of their desire, their want to win was there. I was very pleased with the youngsters. It was a great experience."

USA vs. Hungary

In a little-advertised event that promises to be equal parts good fun and professional advancement while at the same time offering spectators a chance to witness savage, bone-crunching violence, a team of aspiring American boxers will meet their Hungarian counterparts this weekend in the towns of Székesfehérvár and Kecskemét. According to today's Blikk,, the visit by the American fighters is a watershed in trans-Atlantic pugilism, as it has been several years since any such team has fought in Europe, not to mention one containing five national champions. (As well as Estonia-born lightweight bruiser Stan Martyniouk, left, who is likely to be joined in the ring by Gyula Káté, right, and who we sure hope is not as big and mean as he looks.)
