This Friday, April 10th, the Great American Beer Hall in Medford, Massachusetts will play host to a pro boxing when undefeated Irishman Thomas “The Kid” O’Toole takes on puncher Jeremy Cullors of Virginia in a super middleweight contest. O’Toole (15-0, 10 KOs), a Braintree resident and a fan favorite among Boston’s strong Irish community, enters the bout riding the momentum of a dominant performance last November, where he stopped Ismael Ocles in four rounds. A southpaw standing an imposing 6’3”, O’Toole has steadily developed his punching power. Across the ring, Cullors (8-2, 8 KOs) represents a dangerous test. Despite having fewer bouts, he boasts a menacing résumé in that every one of his victories has come by knockout. Cullors is the kind of fighter who can change the course of a fight with a single shot. His game plan is straightforward: close the distance and force exchanges that will test the chin of the unbeaten Irishman.

 

O’Toole will need to make full use of his reach advantage and footwork, keeping Cullors at bay behind a sharp jab while avoiding getting trapped along the ropes, where the American is at his most dangerous. Cullors, meanwhile, will look to apply relentless pressure, hunting for that one decisive blow that could silence the crowd.
