MIAMI (Octubre 26, 2016) — Entrenador de boxeo de renombre internacional Orlando Cuellar ha cerrado el círculo, de vuelta a los famosos 5º St. Gimnasio en South Beach, donde una vez visitó cuando era adolescente para aprender y ahora entrena a combatientes seis días a la semana.
Nacido en La Habana, Cuba, La familia de Cuellar se reasentó en Miami cuando él tenía tres años con Orlando viviendo allí hasta la escuela secundaria.. Como un boxeador amateur, Cuéllar recuerda vívidamente ver a los boxeadores en 5º St. Gimnasio como Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie corto y Florentino Fernandez, así como entrenadores legendarios, hermanos Angelo y Chris Dundee.
“Miré y aprendí, recogiendo tanto como pude,” Cuéllar dijo. “Ahora, Me encuentro trabajando fuera del 5º St. Gimnasio durante las últimas seis semanas. Ha sido una experiencia increíble. Cada día, nunca se sabe quién va a pasar por las puertas allí. Ha sido uno de los mejores gimnasios de boxeo del mundo durante más de 50 año. Desde los días que se remontan a Muhammad Ali, Los luchadores se han sentido atraídos por este gimnasio debido a su rica historia y gran combate., así como a la zona con los restaurantes de South Beach, clubes y playa. La calidez, El clima húmedo también hace que sea más fácil para los luchadores perder peso corriendo y entrenando.
“(Propietario) Dino Spencer está llevando a cabo el 5º St. Tradición del gimnasio. Todos los días que estoy allí es emocionante para mí. Los grupos étnicos mixtos entrenan allí y es un imán para el talento. Hay entrenamiento tres días a la semana – Yo lo llamo spar-a-rama – y todos son bienvenidos a desafiarse a sí mismos. El sparring es mejor que muchas peleas televisivas..
“5º St. Entrenador de gimnasio Chico Laieta había estado tratando de convencerme de que me uniera al equipo durante los últimos cinco años. Hablé con Dino en varias ocasiones., expresando mi deseo de entrenar combatientes fuera del 5º St. Gimnasio. Él dijo, 'Vamos a hacerlo.’ El éxito de la 5º St. El gimnasio de hoy tiene mucho que ver con la propiedad. Dino tiene pasión por el box y es muy hospitalario., que se filtra a su personal y combatientes. Buenas vibraciones todo el tiempo!”
Cuellar se fue a Las Vegas en 1976 y, después de darse cuenta de que ser boxeador no era lo mejor para él, comenzó a entrenar luchadores allí en 1981 fuera del gimnasio de Johnny García. Un año después, cambió su base de Brooklyn y comenzó a entrenar luchadores de otro ícono del boxeo, Gimnasio Gleason. En 2000, se reasentó en Miami.
Mejor conocido como campeón mundial de peso semipesado, el entrenador en jefe de Glen Johnson, Cuellar también trabajó con futuros campeones como Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy y Erslandy Lara, así como Luis Franco, Aaron Davis y Juan Carlos Gomez, por nombrar algunos de los más notables. Hoy, es el segundo en jefe de varios de los mejores luchadores, incluidos Antonio Tarver.
Reconocido en todo el boxeo como un maestro superior, El éxito de Cuellar se atribuye principalmente a su entrenamiento de luchadores de forma individual., centrarse en sus necesidades personales en lugar de dar a todos los combatientes las mismas instrucciones y atención.
“Cada luchador necesita un trabajo personal y específico para complementar los talentos que Dios le dio.,” Cuéllar explicó. “No puedes enseñar a todos los luchadores de la misma manera. Me especializo en lo que llamo la vieja escuela se encuentra con la nueva escuela.. La vieja escuela fue directa y personal para llevar 15 rondas, la nueva escuela se trata de lanzar más golpes, más movimiento de pies y peleas desde el exterior. Enseño ofensa: defensa + ofensa. Los ponches no son vitaminas, no se debe tomar ninguno. El boxeo es poco más que una batalla de reflejos; un luchador contra otro, pero el verdadero truco es cómo el luchador usa sus reflejos. Les enseño a mis combatientes cómo convertir el delantal del ring en un campo minado.”
El boxeo ha jugado un papel muy importante en la vida de Cuellar. Regreso en el 5º St. El gimnasio es solo otro capítulo en su vida única.
“Vivo a través de mis luchadores,” Cuellar concluyó. “Cada victoria es mi momento de mayor orgullo. No hay grandes ni pequeñas victorias, cada victoria es un momento feliz debido a todo el trabajo duro y los sacrificios que mi luchador y yo hicimos durante el campo de entrenamiento.”
Orlando Cuéllar está emocionado de haber vuelto al futuro.

Toronto, Ontario, Canadá (Octubre 25, 2016) – Due to unforeseen circumstances, Lee Baxter Promotions’ card scheduled for Jueves evening at the Powerade Center in Brampton, Ontario has been postponed until further notice.
Two of Baxter’s fighters scheduled to appear on that card, 130 pound contender Logan “Cotton” McGuinness and heavyweight prospect Mladen “Monster” Miljas, will now fight Octubre 28 at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino in Calgary, Alberta, Canadá.
A former NABA champion at 126, 130 y 135 libra, McGuinness signed with Lee Baxter Promotions in July. McGuinness, 23-0-1 (10 Nocáuts), is fighting for the first since May 2015 and meets Noel Rincon, 18-9-1 (10 Nocáuts), of Mexico over eight rounds. Con una victoria, the 29-year-old Ontario native hopes to get back in the mix.
Known as “Monster” due to his crushing power and impressive physical stature, Miljas looks to go 2-0 as a pro when he challenges Mexican Adrian Garcia, 1-1 (1 KO), en un cuatro redondo.
“”I’m glad I was able to keep Logan and Mladen fighting even after our card was postponed,” said Lee Baxter. “The card will be rescheduled in the near future but in the meantime it’s important to keep my fighters busy. Logan’s been very sharp in training and Mladen has the look of a good heavyweight prospect based on what we saw in his pro debut.”
Baxter, who is growing his stable of talented boxers, also looks forward to the career changing opportunity his fighter Samuel Vargas has when he faces unbeaten Danny GarciaNoviembre 12.
“We’ve got a lot of nice things on the horizon and I believe that Sammy is going to surprise a lot of people. His trainers know everything there is to be known about Garcia and Team Vargas was thrilled when we heard he accepted the fight.
I’ve also got Kane Heron returning from a few lingering injuries and he’ll be back by the end of the year. He is a truly special talent and one of boxing’s best kept secrets. Most importantly, we will continue to grow and invest in our fighters while providing quality events in Canada.”
