Філадэльфія – After ten years of celebrating the biggest and best achievements of the Philadelphia-area boxing scene, the Briscoe Awards will change the timing of their annual event, from October to March.

Moving to March will allow us to give out the awards shortly after the fight year ends. I’m a little nervous about making a change, but in the long run, the move will only make the Briscoe Awards better.”

A total of eleven awards will be give out ГЭТА SUNDAY MARCH 25TH AT 1 PM ET, which includes prizes for the “Philly Бой года”, the “Philly Бой года”, the “Накаўт года”, “Amateur of the Year”, “Пачаткоўцам Года”, “Праспект Год”, “Performance of the Year”, “Photo of the Year”, і больш.
The fighters being honored this year include Tyrone Brunson, Ярон Эніс, Кермен Цинтрон, Dylan Price, Эйвери Верабей, Marcel Rivers, Raymond Ford, Джером Conquest, and others.

2001 Fight of the Year Reunion for final stop of 2018 ЗША супраць. Ireland Northeast Tour

Пакінуць каментар
Emanuel Augustus joins special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger to complete memorable fight
Сакавіка 21 ў Манчэстэры, Нью-Гэмпшыр
Каларада-Спрынгс, Круг. (Сакавіка 19, 2018) – Retired pro boxer Emanuel Augustus has confirmed his attendance this week at a USA Boxing-hosted reunion of the 2001 Бой года, associated with the final stop on the 2018 ЗША супраць. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour festivities in Manchester, Нью-Гэмпшыр.
The 2001 Fight of the Year was held July 13, 2001, at Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton, NH., and it is still considered one of the greatest matches ever broadcast on ESPN. “Ірландскі” Мікі Уорд won an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up with “boxing cult” hero Emanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judges’ scoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
“Ward versus Augustus was truly the event of the year in boxing and we’re so happy it was held right here in New Hampshire,” said Stephen, who has been in his position as chairman since 1974, “Micky was losing the fight until the later rounds. As the chairperson of he commission, I checked the judges’ scorecards after six or seven rounds and Micky was losing. Затым, Micky caught Augustus, dropped and really hurt him. He went on to win a great fight.”
The high-profile win positioned Ward for what turned out to be his epic Gatti trilogy, while Augustus went on to become one of the most dangerous, upset-minded opponents in boxing. Падапечны, Augustus and the third man in the ring that night, Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger, will host as USA Alumni Association event Tuesday, Мора. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. ў Манчэстэры), пачынаючы з 6 p.m. І.
The trio will also be joined by two others closely associated with the 2001 Бой года, Chairman of the New Hampshire Boxing and Wrestling Commission, Bobby Stephen, as well as International matchmaker, Eric Bottjer, who made the Ward-Augustus fight in 2001.
All five will also attend the USA Boxing Alumni Association event as well as the following night’s (Мора. 21) ЗША супраць. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, Нью-Гэмпшыр.
SPECIAL MANCHESTER AMATEUR BOXING MATCH ADDED
A special lightweight novice WILL open the competition, showcasing two Manchester amateur boxers, Abhisek Thapa (Title Boxing Club) і Майкл Correa (Manchester PAL).
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at 7 p.m. Стандартную УСХОДНЯЕ ЧАС, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.
Квіткі па разумных цэнах у $20.00 для агульнага прыёму, $30 for reserved ringside seats, and available to purchase on Seacoast Ticket Agency’s website, www.seacoastticket.com, the official ticket distributor for the event.
“We’re so happy to have the USA-Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour here in Manchester,” Stephen added. “The talent on both squads is extraordinary. We’re honored to have these two teams here for this big event. It’s a credit to USA Boxing and (special events director) Al Valenti, who has done so much over the years for boxing in New Hampshire. Boxing was very popular here many years ago. People turned out in droves to attend the Golden Gloves. There’s a boxing resurgence and that’s so important to teach young people discipline, respect and conditioning that’s so needed today. These amateurs do their best for the love of boxing; they aren’t in it for money like professionals.
“Micky is honorable, a real nice person. It means a lot for local fans and boxers to meet him. We were fortunate to have him fight in New Hampshire on serval occasions and nobody who watched his fight Augustus or his trilogy with Артура Гаці will never forget.”.

Stephon Маладая: ‘Team Gaballo Not Thinking Enough About What’s Going to Happen to Him’

Пакінуць каментар
Вуліца. Louis Bantamweight Young to Face Reymart Gaballo for WBA Interim World Championship on Пятніца, Сакавіка 23, at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Казіно, Галівуд, Фларыда
Perennial 118-lb contender Stephon “Showstopper” Young is finishing up his 13-week training camp in Miami while wondering if his opponent knows what he’s truly in for next week.
На Пятніца, Сакавіка 23, in the Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Казіно ў Галівудзе, Штат Фларыда., WBA #4-rated Young (17-0-3, 7 КО) from St. Louis will face WBA #5 Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo (18-0, 16 КО) from General Santos City, Філіпіны, in a 12-round battle for the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Championship.
Young vs. Gaballo headlines promoter Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory’s “Rumble at the Rock,” an 11-bout night of world-class professional boxing. In the 10-round co-main, former WBA Super World Bantamweight Champion Juan Carlos Payano (19-1, 9 КО) бярэ на сябе “Magic” Mike Plania (14-0, 7 КО) from General Santos City, Філіпіны.
Квіткі па цане $255, $130, $80 і $55. All seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets, на сайце www.myhrl.com, www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone: 1-800-745-3000. Additional fees may apply.
29-year-old southpaw Young says that while Gaballo obviously has some strength to have such a high KO percentage, he is too green to be in the ring with a fighter at his level and experience.
“Калі шчыра, Я нічога не прымаць ад яго, but they should have stepped him up with a different opponent first and not thrown him in with a guy like me,” сказаў Янг. “I feel he’s not ready yet and that will show у наступную пятніцу. He should have had two or three more fights, but I feel like just because it’s for a title, they are rushing toward it. It’s a good opportunity for him, but they’re not thinking enough about what’s going to happen to him. I will be bringing everything I’ve got that night.”
Малады, who still lives in St. Louis but travels to Miami for camp, says coming up the hard way in boxing and then meeting up with his current team will make all the difference у наступную пятніцу.
“When I turned pro, I didn’t get signed right off the bat with a big-time promoter,” ён сказаў. “I went and fought in people’s backyards and proved myself. I was given nothing, but I knew my time would come. I stayed focused and continued to train. I’ve been with my coach, Herman Caicedo, now for two years and I’m a totally different fighter. I want to thank my team, my promoter Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory for giving me this opportunity, my manager Henry Rivalta for always believing in me and my coach Herman Caicedo for getting me in the best shape I’ve ever been.”
For Young, lifting the belt over his head у наступную пятніцу will be a dream come true.
“Перамога ў гэтай барацьбе усе сродкі. It’s a big accomplishment and nothing can keep me from my dreams. На Сакавіка 23, I will be champion.”
“Rumble at the Rock” is proudly sponsored by Armero Tequila. Special guests expected that evening include former heavyweight champions Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe and Evander “The Real Deal” Холіфілд. На бой ноччу, Hard Rock Event Center will open its doors at 6 p.m. з першы бой, пачынаючы з 7 p.m. Семінол Хард Рок Гатэль & Casino is located at 1 Seminole Way у Галівудзе, Фларыда.
