Joe "The Irish Bomber” Smith Jr. Looks to Keep it Perfect!

Fighting Friday night, April 2, on the undercard of O’Shea Brothers “Brooklyn Brawl,” Joe “The Irish Bomber” Smith Jr. (3-0, 3 Ko’s) looks to keep it perfect by adding another W and KO to his record.

The 20-year-old light-heavyweight from Shirley, New York is the boxing reincarnation of Philadelphia’s Jack O'Brien and “Irish” Bob Murphy.

He moves and punches with both hands behind a solid defense like O’Brien, but loves to fight, and packs dynamite in both hands, targeting both the head and body with a relentless, unforgiving assault reminiscent of “Irish” Bob.

With all that said, Smith comes from a solid amateur background, winning NYC Metro and Gold Glove Championships, where he was proclaimed the second coming of Kelly Pavlik.

Under the guidance of manager Phil Capobianco and the tutelage of trainers Gerry Capobianco and Chris Canzone, it’s only a matter of time until the “Irish Bomber” explodes at the top of the light-heavyweight division.

Smith joins the full O’Shea Brothers Promotion “Brooklyn Brawl” fight card, showcasing super bantamweight Alicia Ashley vs. Liliana Martinez (10 rounds), light-heavyweight Ronson Frank vs. Alexander Mancera (eight rounds), super featherweight Maureen Shea vs. Norma Faris (six rounds), and light-welterweight Issouf Kinda vs. Marco Antonio Arauz (four rounds).

Also on the card, heavyweight Adam Kownacki vs Daron Johnson (four rounds), middleweight Thomas Baldwin Pro Debut vs. TBA (four rounds), and light-heavyweight Owen Rodway vs. Angel Gonzalez (four rounds).
