MIAMI (Bulan Oktober 26, 2016) — Pelatih tinju yang terkenal secara internasional Orlando Cuellar telah menjadi lingkaran penuh, kembali ke yang terkenal 5th St. Gym di South Beach, tempat dia pernah mengunjunginya saat remaja untuk belajar dan sekarang melatih para pejuang dari enam hari seminggu.
Lahir di Havana, Kuba, Keluarga Cuellar bermukim kembali di Miami ketika dia berusia tiga tahun dengan Orlando yang tinggal di sana sampai sekolah menengah. Sebagai petinju amatir, Cuellar masih ingat dengan jelas saat menonton petinju di 5th St. Gym seperti Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie Short dan Florentino Fernandez, serta pelatih legendaris, kakak beradik Angelo dan Chris Dundee.
“Saya menyaksikan dan belajar, mengambil sebanyak yang saya bisa,” Cuellar mengatakan. “Saat Ini, Saya menemukan diri saya bekerja dari 5th St. Gym selama enam minggu terakhir. Sungguh pengalaman yang luar biasa. Setiap hari, Anda tidak pernah tahu siapa yang akan berjalan melewati pintu di sana. Itu telah menjadi salah satu sasana tinju terbaik di dunia selama lebih dari 50 tahun. Dari hari-hari kembali ke Muhammad Ali, petarung tertarik ke gym ini karena sejarahnya yang kaya dan perdebatan yang hebat, serta ke area dengan restoran South Beach, klub dan pantai. Hangat, Cuaca yang lembab juga memudahkan para petarung untuk menurunkan berat badan saat berlari dan berlatih.
“(Pemilik) Dino Spencer sedang menjalankan 5th St. Tradisi gym. Setiap hari saya berada di sana menyenangkan bagi saya. Kelompok etnis campuran berlatih di sana dan itu adalah magnet bagi bakat. Ada perdebatan tiga hari seminggu – Saya menyebutnya Spar-a-rama – dan semua orang dipersilakan untuk menantang diri mereka sendiri. Perdebatan ini lebih baik daripada banyak pertarungan TV.
“5th St. Pelatih gym Guy Laieta telah berusaha meyakinkan saya untuk bergabung dengan tim selama lima tahun terakhir. Saya berbicara dengan Dino beberapa kali, mengekspresikan keinginan saya untuk melatih petarung keluar dari 5th St. Ruang olahraga. Dia mengatakan, 'Ayo lakukan.’ Keberhasilan dari 5th St. Gym saat ini banyak hubungannya dengan kepemilikan. Dino memiliki hasrat untuk bertinju dan dia sangat ramah, yang menetes ke staf dan pejuangnya. Getaran yang bagus sepanjang waktu!”
Cuellar berangkat ke Las Vegas masuk 1976 dan, setelah dia menyadari bahwa menjadi petinju bukanlah kepentingan terbaiknya, dia mulai melatih pejuang di sana 1981 keluar dari Gym Johnny Garcia. Setahun kemudian, dia memindahkan markasnya di Brooklyn dan mulai melatih petarung dari ikon tinju lain, Gleason Gym. Di 2000, dia bermukim kembali di Miami.
Dikenal sebagai juara dunia kelas berat ringan pelatih kepala Glen Johnson, Cuellar juga bekerja dengan juara masa depan seperti Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy dan Erslandy Lara, sebaik Luis Franco, Aaron Davis dan Juan Carlos Gomez, untuk menyebutkan beberapa dari yang lebih terkenal. Hari Ini, dia adalah pemimpin kedua untuk beberapa petarung teratas termasuk Antonio Tarver.
Diakui di seluruh tinju sebagai guru yang unggul, Keberhasilan Cuellar sebagian besar dikaitkan dengan pelatihan petarung secara individu, berfokus pada kebutuhan pribadi mereka daripada memberikan instruksi dan perhatian yang sama kepada semua petarung.
“Setiap pejuang membutuhkan pekerjaan pribadi dan spesifik untuk melengkapi bakat yang diberikan Tuhan,” Cuellar menjelaskan. “Anda tidak bisa mengajar semua pejuang dengan cara yang sama. Saya mengkhususkan diri pada apa yang saya sebut sekolah lama bertemu sekolah baru. Sekolah tua bersifat terbuka dan pribadi untuk dikunjungi 15 putaran, sekolah baru adalah tentang melakukan lebih banyak pukulan, lebih banyak gerakan kaki dan pertarungan dari luar. Saya mengajar doffense: pertahanan + pelanggaran. Pukulan bukanlah vitamin, tidak ada yang harus diambil. Tinju lebih dari sekadar pertarungan refleks; satu pejuang versus pejuang lainnya, tetapi trik sebenarnya adalah bagaimana petarung menggunakan refleksnya. Saya mengajari pejuang saya cara mengubah celemek cincin menjadi ladang ranjau.”
Tinju telah memainkan peran besar dalam kehidupan Cuellar. Kembali ke 5th St. Gym hanyalah bagian lain dalam hidupnya yang unik.
“Saya hidup melalui pejuang saya,” Cuellar menyimpulkan. “Setiap kemenangan adalah momen yang paling saya banggakan. Tidak ada kemenangan besar atau kecil, setiap kemenangan adalah momen yang membahagiakan karena semua kerja keras dan pengorbanan yang saya dan pejuang saya lakukan selama kamp pelatihan.”
Orlando Cuellar sangat senang bisa kembali ke masa depan.

Toronto, Ontario, Kanada (Bulan Oktober 25, 2016) – Due to unforeseen circumstances, Lee Baxter Promotions’ card scheduled for Hari Kamis 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 Bulan Oktober 28 at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino in Calgary, Alberta, Kanada.
A former NABA champion at 126, 130 dan 135 pon, McGuinness signed with Lee Baxter Promotions in July. McGuiness, 23-0-1 (10 KO), is fighting for the first since May 2015 and meets Noel Rincon, 18-9-1 (10 KO), of Mexico over eight rounds. With a victory, 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), in a four rounder.
“”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 GarciaNovember 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. Yang paling penting, we will continue to grow and invest in our fighters while providing quality events in Canada.”
