Junior welterweight prospect Danny O’Connor (16-1, 4 KOs) and opponent Daniel “The Hudson Valley Kid” Sostre (11-5-1) weighed in identically at 142.5 lbs. for their 10-round main-event showdown at Thursday night’s smash-hit Boston vs. New York fight card at the Boston House of Blues.
Weights:
- Danny O’Connor 142.5 vs. Daniel Sostre 142.5
- Ryan Kielczweski 129 vs. Ira Terry 128.5
- Delen Parsley 157 (2 lbs over) vs. Dustin Reinhold 153
- Luis Rosa 122.5 vs. Victor Valenzuela 122.5
- Aleksandra Magdziak Lopes 149 vs. Lyneisha Jefferson 154

The House of Blues provides a unique three tiered setting with excellent vantage points reminiscent of classic boxing venues. The remaining standing-room-only tickets properly accommodate O’Connor’s rowdy and rock-n-roll inspired fan base.
Should be a fun event tonight in Boston with all of the hype that O’Connor has been getting, and the team he has behind him right now. Tune back in later for post-fight coverage and results to see how it all played out.
