Pic of Day: Derry natives (from left) John Duddy, John Cooley and Connor Coyle at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday where Coyle fights this Friday night. The Florida-based Coyle (21-0, 9 KOs) meets New Jersey’s Vito Mielnicki, Jr. in a scheduled 10-round middleweight contest with the WBC, USBA and WBO international belts on the line. The fight will be broadcast by ESPN (from 9 p.m.) on a Top Rank card. Coyle grew up a huge fan of Duddy, who was a wildly popular world ranked middleweight in his days. Cooley is a retired featherweight and childhood friend of Coyle’s. Photo by Jay Mwamba.
