Sullivan Barrera: record, next fight and profile →
Light heavyweight Sullivan Barrera (22-2, 14 KOs) dominated throughout ten rounds, emerging with a solid unanimous decision victory over a tough "Irish" Seanie Monaghan (29-2, 17 KOs) Saturday at The Aviator Sports Center.
The Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, NY - In a fight filled with some close rounds, and give and take action, former WBC International light heavyweight world champion Sullivan Barrera (22-2, 14 KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over "Irish" Seanie Monaghan (29-2, 17 KOs).
Joe Higgins knows his comparison created an unrealistic expectation. Sean Monaghan’s trainer still is certain his boxer and Sullivan Barrera will produce an all-action slugfest when they fight Saturday night in Brooklyn. Higgins predicted during a recent conference call that Cuba’s Barrera and Long Island’s Monaghan might need to fight two or three times, just like the late Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward did in 2002 and 2003.

Monaghan managed to make it out of that disastrous first round, but Browne hurt him badly with a right hook only 30 seconds into the following round.
