Boxing trainer Orlando Cuellar goes Back to the Future at 5th St. Gym

MIAMI (Octobre 26, 2016) — Internationally renowned boxing trainer Orlando Cuellar has come full circle, right back to the famed 5e St. Gym in South Beach, where he once visited as a teenager to learn and now trains fighters out of six days a week.
Born in Havana, Cuba, Cuellar’s family resettled in Miami when he was three with Orlando living there through high school. Comme un boxeur amateur, Cuellar vividly remembers watching boxers at 5e St. Gym such as Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie Curto et Florentino Fernandez, as well as legendary trainers, frères Angelo et Chris Dundee.
I watched and learned, picking up as much as much as I could,” Cuellar a dit. “Maintenant, I find myself working out of the 5e St. Gym for the past six weeks. It’s been an incredible experience. Chaque jour, you never know who is going to walk through the doors there. It’s been one of the best boxing gyms in the world for more than 50 ans. From the days dating back to Muhammad Ali, fighters have been attracted to this gym because of its rich history and great sparring, as well as to the area with South Beach’s restaurants, clubs and beach. The warm, humid weather also makes it easier for fighters to lose weight running and training.
“(Propriétaire) Dino Spencer is carrying on the 5e St. Gym’s tradition. Everyday I’m there is exciting for me. Mixed ethnic groups train there and it’s a magnet for talent. There’s sparring three days a weekI call it Spar-a-ramaand everybody’s welcome to challenge themselves. The sparring is better than a lot of TV fights.
“5e St. Gym trainer Guy Laieta had been trying to convince me to join the team for the last five years. I spoke to Dino on several occasions, expressing my desire to train fighters out of the 5e St. Gym. Il dit, ‘Let’s do it.The success of the 5e St. Gym today has a lot to do with ownership. Dino has a passion for boxing and he is very hospitable, which trickles down to his staff and fighters. Good vibes all of the time!”
Cuellar left for Las Vegas in 1976 et, after he realized that being a boxer wasn’t in his best interest, he started training fighters there in 1981 out of Johnny Garcia’s Gym. Un an plus tard, he shifted his base Brooklyn and started training fighters out of another boxing icon, Gym Gleason. En 2000, he resettled in Miami.
Best known as world light heavyweight champion the head trainer of Glen Johnson, Cuellar also worked with future champions such as Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy et Erslandy Lara, aussi bien que Luis Franco, Aaron Davis et Juan Carlos Gomez, to name a few of the more notables. Aujourd'hui, he’s the chief second for several top fighters including Antonio Tarver.
Recognized throughout boxing as a superior teacher, Cuellar’s success is mostly attributed to his training of fighters on an individual basis, focusing on their personal needs rather than giving all fighters the same instructions and attention.
Each fighter needs personal and specific work to complement their God-given talents,” Cuellar explained. “You can’t teach all fighters the same way. I specialize on what I call old school meets new school. Old school was upfront and personal to go 15 tours, new school is about throwing more punches, more foot movement and fighting from the outside. I teach doffense: defense + offense. Punches aren’t vitamins, none should be taken. Boxing is little more than a battle of reflexes; one fighters versus another, but the real trick is how the fighter uses his reflexes. I teach my fighters how to turn the ring apron into a minefield.
Boxing has played a huge role in Cuellar’s life. Back in the 5e St. Gym is just another chapter in his unique life.
I live through my fighters,” Cuellar concluded. “Every victory is my proudest moment. There are no big or little victories, every win is a happy moment because of all the hard work and sacrifices me and my fighter made during training camp.
Orlando Cuellar is thrilled to have gone back to the future.

Ed Williams, Nephew of Former World Champion Duane Thomas, Will Appear on Salita Promotions‘Detroit Brawl

As a kid, watching his uncle, former WBC World Super Welterweight Champion Duane Thomas fight on TV, Detroit’s Ed Williams used to dream of becoming a boxer.
That’s where he and his mother disagreed.
I always wanted to box,” laughs Williams, “but my mother wouldn’t let me fight until I was older. My uncle even came and tried to sneak me to the gym a few times, but my mom would never let me. She just wouldn’t let me train.
When Williams turned 17, he was finally able to box and made the most of it, aller 57-9 as an amateur and winning two State Championships, the Ringside Nationals and two Detroit Golden Gloves before turning professional in 2007.
Williams won his first two fights before leaving boxing to obtain a B.Sc degree in Industrial Engineering at Eastern Michigan University. But after working in the field a few years, Williams felt the pull once again that he’d felt since childhood.
He wanted to be a boxer, full-time and give it a shot.
Maintenant 27 ans, et 12-1-1, 4 KOs as a Kronk Gym super welterweight, Williams will make his next ring appearing by once again appearing on a Salita Promotions “La bagarre de Détroit” événement, this one on Samedi, Novembre 12, at the Masonic Temple against an opponent that will be announced shortly.
It feels great to fight in Detroit,” il dit. “You get support from friends and family and I’m even growing a new fan base.

My goal in boxing,” a déclaré Williams, “is to become the second guy in my family to win a world title. Maintenant, I want to have the right fights to have that opportunity. I’ve been progressing and having challenging fights and getting good opportunities, so things are going well.
Williams is, certes, not your typical fighter.
I have a boxing style that is awkward. It’s not a traditional style at all. I fight with an off-beat tempo that throws you off. And I’m tall and long, so I box you and use my jab and then I set up shots.
While Williams says he has no regrets with his decision to pursue fighting, someone in the family does have a few
My mom now says she wishes she would have let me do it sooner. But I understand. She didn’t want me to get hurt and was just being protective. Now she’s my biggest fan.

Samedi, Février. 11 - Showtime Championship Boxing

Quatre-division champion du monde Adrien Broner will face the streaking Adrian Granados in a matchup of top-10 ranked 140-pound fighters. The flashy Broner, who has captured titles at 130, 135, 140 et 147 livres, has scored two consecutive knockouts in the super lightweight division. The hard-charging, all-action Granados, who pulled a stunning upset of then-undefeated WBC No. 1 ranked super lightweight Amir Imam in a dominating performance last November on SHOWTIME, thrives in the underdog role and has a deceiving record – his four defeats, all via split or majority decision, have come against opponents with a cumulative record of 52-1.
