Arjan Iseni training during the pandemic

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Travanj 23, 2020) — Amateur boxing, as in the professional ranks, has been shut-down worldwide due to the Coronavirus pandemic. USA Boxing members are adjusting to these challenging and trying times all across the country.

Gyms and schools are closed, tournaments suspended, a 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo have been postponed a year. Members of the Elite Qualification, Youth and Junior High Performance teams are home rather than in Colorado Springs training at the state-of-art United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center.

How are some of the leading U.S. amateur boxers living during this period without fights?

ELITE OLYMPIC QUALIFICATION TEAM

Joseph Hicks (Grand Rapids, Michigan), 26-year-old middleweight, USA Ranking #2
Gold medal performances: 2019 Nacionalni Golden Gloves; 2017 & 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier; 3-time Eastern Elite Qualifier (2017-2019)

Hicks was within one qualifier victory of officially becoming a member of the 2020 Team USA Olympic Boxing Team. He is taking advantage of the break, iako, spending quality time with his wife and young daughter.

“

I personally feel that this has been a blessing in disguise, because I have more time to improve on the things the USA coaches have been telling me to work on. I live in an apartment in Lansing (MOJ), but I’ve been staying with my mom in Grand Rapids so I can comfortably train. It’s weird in a way, but I miss getting punched at. I’ve been trying to adapt to the new normal, but I can’t wait to be back at the training center (in Colorado Springs).

“I love that I can see my daughter every day to give her all my attention, but she misses the gym as much as me. My wife and mother have been very supportive. I believe waiting another year will only make me better by the time the Olympics are here.”

Oshae Jones, (Toledo, Ohio), 22-year-old welterweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2020 Olympic Team Trials, 3-time Elite National Championships (2016-2019), 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2016 Youth Open, 2014 Nacionalni PAL. International: 2020 Turnir u Strandji & 2019 Pan-American Games

Jones had been on a roll leading up to the since postponed Americas Qualifier to lock a roster spot on the 2020 Team USA Olympic Boxing Team. She has been training at her family’s gym in Toledo, as well as getting more involved in community services and functions.



“I have not adapted to life without boxing, because boxing will never leave my life. Moja obitelj / coaches have a gym connected to our house we live in. Boxing is not a sport, it’s a lifestyle .

“My heart dropped when I first heard that the Olympics were postponed. Everything that I have been working toward for basically my whole life is on pause until next July. I do not know how I feel or how to express how I feel. The only thing I can do is try to stay motivated.”


YOUTH HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM

Arjan Iseni (Staten Island, Njujork), 17-year-old light heavyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Youth National Championships, Eastern Regional Open & Youth Open

Iseni lives in the Coronavirus epicenter, Staten Island, NY. He and his father built a small ring in their backyard (vidi sliku ispod) because he couldn’t train in any gyms.

“It’s very hard to know that I won’t be able to represent Team USA this year in any international tournaments. This is my last year as a youth boxer, but I have been training very hard during quarantine, and I will be ready for whatever is next for me.

“It is hard knowing that I will not be fighting soon, but this gives me more time to perfect the little flaws in my game, and I’ll comeback stronger when this all ends. Nadajmo se, everything goes back to normal soon, so I can get back to fighting actively and hopefully make Team USA as an Elite boxer.”


Shera Mae Patricio (Waianae, Havaji), 17-year-old flyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Youth National Championships & Western Regional Open; 2018 Youth National Championships & Western Regionals Open; 2017 Državne juniorske olimpijske igre & Nacionalni Golden Gloves

Patricio lives the furthest away from training camp and her teammates, but her family owns a boxing gym, and training/sparring isn’t as a problem for her because she has eight siblings.



“We are in quarantine and I have adapted to life without fights by continuing to train at our personal gym with my siblings. Training hasn’t been a problem for us because we have our own personal gym. We sanitize all the equipment and the gym before and after training. Since there are no fights coming soon, we have been sharpening up our skills and building more knowledge We’ve been gaining strength and keeping up our endurance. On weekends, my dad rides a bike while we run laps to get some sunlight, and sometimes we do sprint drills outside.

“Our family is a boxing family that started with my dad as he was a boxer. He started training me, only for defense, but it started to get serious in 2015 when I won my first tournament in Kansas. All of my other siblings are also boxers and they’re also multiple-time champions. My siblings and I have been getting a ton of family time staying home together. This quarantine has made us even closer. Our bond makes us stronger individually and as one. I’m far away from training in Colorado Springs, but my teammates are only a phone call away. I’m able to stay in touch and that’s very warming. Some of the coaches check on me to see how I’ve been doing. I looked forward to all the tournaments I planned to fight in and I’m disappointed they’ve been postponed, but I have more time to be even better prepared for my next fight.”

JUNIOR HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM

Steven Navarro (Los Angeles, Kalifornija) 16-year-old flyweight, USA Ranking #1
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Junior National Championships & Nacionalni PAL; 2018 Junior National Championships; 2017 Prep Open & Western Regional Open

Navarro was training in Colorado Springs to prepare for international competition in Bulgaria, but the trip was cancelled two days before Navarro and his teammates were scheduled to depart.



“As a member of the USA Boxing Junior Team, I look forward to every fight / turnir, because it could be my last. So it was very heartbreaking when I was notified that our fights in Bulgaria and future international fights were cancelled due to this pandemic. I continue working as hard as I do on a regular basis: waking up at 5 in the morning, running 5-6 miles in nearby hills, of course wearing my mask. I come home to take my online classes from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., which gives me a 2-hour nap before heading to my private gym. I am the only person who trains at my gym every day at 4:30 poslije podne. Once I get to the gym, I begin stretching for 3 kola (3-minute rundi), shadow box for 5-7 kola, then I hit five varieties of punching bags (3 rundi svaka). Afterwards, I work mitts (5-8 kola) where I focus on different movements and situations that could possibly happen in a fight. I often hit the double-end bag and speed bag for 3 kola. I finish my boxing training with 15 min. of jump rope.

“I train on a daily basis for 2 hours with my father/coach Refugio Navarro. This pandemic is a bit of a gamble due to not having access to sparring. I do tend to ‘move’ with my father once every week, but the experience is different. Once finished, I head to my grandparents’ house (only one block away from my home) to do my strength and conditioning. I do wear a mask and gloves when working out there. My grandfather is a bodybuilder and has his gym setup in his garage. I work-out with my grandfather for a good hour, constantly disinfecting all equipment, to wrap-up my day. I work with what I have, which is a blessing. Boxing isn’t a season sport, you must stay ready all year for anything, and that’s what I continue to do as I strive for greatness.”

Fernanda Chavez (Dallas, Teksas), 14-year-old bantamweight, USA Ranking #2
Gold Medal Performances: 2019 Junior Open; 2018 Prep Open & Eastern Regional



Chavez is a first-year member of the Junior High Performance Team and her inaugural training camp in Colorado Springs was pushed back.

“Adapting to this new lifestyle hasn’t been the easiest. I’m thankful I have my family, as we’ve been going on daily runs and workouts at parks. My family understands the importance of my athleticism and staying fit, which is why we continue to motivate each other during this tough time. I’m not sure when our lives will return to normal, which is why I’m still prepared at all times.

“The things I’m looking forward to most at camp in Colorado Springs is meeting other junior females on the team, as well as learning the different styles they bring. I also look forward to creating bonds between my new teammates and coaches from across the nation.”

Unhappy birthday coming up for undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz

Ostavite komentar

WORCESTER, Misa. (Travanj 15, 2020) – Even in his wildest dreams, undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight championJamaine “The Technician” Ortiz (13-0, 7 Kos) never could have ever imagined that his 24th rođendan, later this month, would fall smack in the middle of a worldwide health pandemic

When he turns 24 travnja 28th, Ortiz figured he’d be preparing for training camp with a spring fight date set, likely defending his WBC Youth World title of fighting for a regional belt of some sort.

He certainly didn’t think boxing would be banned around the world, gyms closed by a state mandate, and people wearing facemasks and plastic gloves like they’re in a Sci-Fi movie. A, to boot, his job as a licensed carpenter ended closed shop last Friday. Like everybody else in the Bay State.

Ortiz is basically self-quarantined at home, although he’s still running, trening, eating well and doing everything else to maintain decent shape. Not elite boxing shape, iako, which simply isn’t possible under these restrictive and trying times.

Instead of sparring, he’s shadow boxing, jumping rope has replaced pad-work with his trainers, Rocky Gonzalez aCarlos Garcia, and now his living room serves as histeretana.

Times have been dramatically altered, doista, even celebrating birthdays, which Jamaine fully understands and accepts.

“I don’t think my birthday will be any different,” Ortiz said. “I usually spend it alone with my mother and daughter (4-year-old Amira) and this year probably won’t be any different. I won’t be able to get in a whole bunch of sparring rounds that I usually ask for (smijeha) as presents from some of my friends.“

Srećom, iako, Ortiz was able to fight this past February 28 in his first action in six months, headlining a CES Boxing-promoted card at home in Worcester, Massachusetts, in which he registered an impressive second-round stoppage of Mexican knockout specialist“Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 Kos), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion.

Ortiz, presently rated No. 16 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF), aspires to attend medical school after he hangs up his gloves for good, to become a doctor/researcher. He reads a lot about medicine, especially holistic treatments, and he believes that he may have already had the coronavirus.

“Five weeks before my last fight,” he explained, “I was in the hospital with a temperature of 104.5. Just about everybody I knew was sick, my grandmother had pneumonia. I never really get sick. I had a flu shot for seven years without an issue. I developed a cough, too. I felt like I was going to die. I can’t say with certainty I had coronavirus (there was no test available then), but I feel like I may have had it.”

Ortiz will be ready for the night the ring bell will finally sound again. “I hope to be fighting again in July or August, ali, no matter when boxing returns, I’ll be ready to go.

“This is a serious, contagious disease. People should use common sense: wash your hands, stay separated by six feet, and stay at home, especially the elderly and people with respiratory problems. Don’t take any unnecessary risks or panic, either. This isn’t the end of the world!"

NEW YORK – April 14, 2020 – This week’s installment of the digital podcast seriesSHOWTIME BOXING WITH ERIC RASKIN AND KIERAN MULVANEY features heavyweight contender Otto Wallin, who recently recovered from COVID-19, and promoter Dmitriy Salita in an interview about life in quarantine and the effect the virus has had on the sport of boxing. Više, Hall of Fame analyst and boxing historian Steve Farhood joins this week’sRevenge: The Rematchessegment to discuss Azumah Nelson vs. Jesse James Leija II, Gerald McClellan vs. Julian Jackson II, and Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Frankie Randall II. Click the following link to listen to the full episode, https://s.sho.com/3bkvFp1.

Excerpts from the episode:

On COVID-19 and its effect on the sport of boxing…

Riječ – “It’s a really unpredictable environment right now. Boxing is an international sport. Now more than ever, fighters come to the U.S. from all over to train and fight. It’s really important that the whole world heals so that things can go back to normal.”

Wallin – “This virus is very serious. People are dying – people from the gym have died. I didn’t have many symptoms when I had it, but it spread to my mother’s boyfriend who is a diabetic and he was very ill. When you are home, don’t just stay on the couch. You have to come up with ideas to keep yourself busy and do something.”

On staying in shape during quarantine…

Wallin – “I am trying to make the best of the situation, and I can do a lot with what I have now. It’s working alright. I do some boxing punching on the wall and lots of shadow boxing.”

On Salita Promotions’ Train Like a Boxer YouTube Series…

Riječ – “We were thinking of ways to keep connections between the fighters and the fans. Everyone is stuck at home, no one can go to work and it’s important to stay healthy and active. We thought we could let the fans know about what the fighters are doing at home and keep communication between everyone going.”

On what’s next for Wallin…

Riječ – “In the fight with [Tyson] Fury you can see how amazing his performance was. Numbers don’t lie, Otto landed more punches against Fury than any opponent including [Vladimir] Klitschko and [Deontay] Wilder –in the first fight. Otto is a world-class fighter, and hopefully we get back to business and he can show that he is one of the best heavyweights in the world.”

On Chavez vs. Randall II…

Farhood – “I think it was a sign Chavez was getting to the end, he was only 31 but he had 90 fights and I think Randall got him at the right time. Watching Randall in both fights boxing so well reminded me a bit of Buster Douglas against [Mikrofon] Tyson. This guy didn’t give you anything to think he could do something like this – just boxing beautifully. I thought Randall probably deserved the rematch decision by a point, but it was a very close fight.”

The weekly SHOWTIME BOXING podcast features Raskin and Mulvaney diving deep into the world of boxing and SHOWTIME boxing events. New episodes are released on all major podcast platforms every Monday, including Radio.com.

BORBE SE MOGU PRIJAVITI ODGOVORNO za izravnu uplatu u prvim tjednima svibnja SVI SU NASTALI OD NOVOGA SOCALNE UDALJENOSTI’ MAJICA FUNDRAISER& 10% PRODAJE SE AT CONTENDERSCLOTHING.COM DA DOLAZIMO U FOND
Las Vegas, NV. (Travanj 13, 2020): Natjecatelji Odjeća s ponosom najavljuju stvaranje brenda Fond za borbu protiv boraca, novi program koji će izravno uložiti novac, i to odmah, u ruke profesionalnih boraca zahvaćenih trenutnom krizom Covid-19.

S borbenim sportovima širom Sjedinjenih Država suspendiran je na neodređeno vrijeme, mnogi borci koji zarađuju za život natječući se profesionalno su samozaposleni poduzetnici koji ih ostavljaju bez posla i ne ispunjavaju uvjete za državnu nezaposlenost. Premda se prema Zakonu o brizi predviđa novac za ugovorne radnike, sredstva su bila teška, ako ne i nemoguće, pristupiti, ostavljajući mnoge borce iz radničke klase oštro potrebnu pomoć.

“Dok neke poznate tvrtke za odjeću doniraju velikim i uglavnom svjetskim zdravstvenim organizacijama, tek moramo vidjeti da bilo koja tvrtka direktno pomaže borcima,” rekao je Contendersov glavni izvršni direktor, Jonathan Snyder.

“Prigrlili su nas profesionalni borci svih razina koji su nosili bokserske gaćice i majice s utezima i zaista smatramo svakoga tko nas nosi kao dio naše obitelji. Imali su nam leđa i sada je vrijeme da imaju svoja.”

Financiranje za Borba za borce će doći od prodaje ekskluziva, 'Idite na Društvenu udaljenost’ majica kreirana posebno kao prikupljanje sredstava za program. Dodatno, Sadržaj Odjeća se daje 10% od svake pojedinačne prodaje tijekom cijelog mjeseca travnja u www.contendersclothing.com izravno u fond.

Isplate će se ugasiti prvi tjedan svibnja i dijelit će se podjednako od ukupnog iznosa Borba za borce diže između svih prihvatljivih boraca.

“Otkrili smo da su borci posebni ljudi koji su u ringu i izvan njih, a premalo ljudi razumije njihovu žrtvu. Ukoliko Borba za borce može bukvalno kupiti namirnice za borce’ obitelj na tjedan dana ili plaćaju komunalni račun u trenutku kada ih očajnički trebaju, tada ćemo to smatrati uspjehom.”

Izvanredno boksačko putovanje kakvo nijedno drugo 1972 Zlatne olimpijske medalje “Šećer” Ray Seales

Ostavite komentar
(Ray Seales je u prvom redu, drugi s lijeva)



COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Travanj 9, 2020) — Zamislite da ste usamljeni boksač iz svoje zemlje koji je osvojio zlatnu olimpijsku medalju, samo nekoliko dana nakon zloglasnog minhenskog masakra. Sad zamislite i da ste osvojili izvanrednu 338 od 350 amaterske utakmice, izborivši se s trilogijom kao profesionalac s “Veličanstven” Marvin Hagler, proglašen pravno slijepim na oba oka (imajući zabavljača Sammy Davis, Jr. podizanje šesteroznamenkaste medicinske novčanice), vrativši vid na jedno oko, zatim radi kao nastavnik autističnih učenika za 17 godina.

“Šećer” Ray Seales je doista živio nadrealni život, u najmanju ruku, a boksom se još bavi u dobi od 67, kao uspješan trener amaterskih boksača u Indianapolisu.

Rođen u Saint Croixu, U.S. Djevičanski otok kao jedno od osmero djece u obitelji čiji je otac tamo bio boksač kao član SAD-a. Vojska tim, Seales je počeo boksati s devet godina. “Imam tri brata i uvijek se međusobno izbijemo,” govorio je o svom početku boksa. “Učenje boksa, za mene, bilo sve oko borbe da prva pojede. Dobio sam udarac u lijevo oko igrajući dodgeball i mog ujaka, koji je bio stacioniran u Ft. Klin dizač (u Tacoma, WA), rekao mojoj majci da tamo postoji poseban liječnik koji mi može pomoći oko. Moj je otac bio smješten posvuda i unutra 1964, kada sam bio 12, moja nas je majka preselila u Tacomu, Vašington.

“Imao sam boks u svom sustavu. Otišao sam s braćom u Downtown Tacoma Boys Club, koja se nalazila samo jedan blok od našeg doma, a majka me mogla gledati kako hodam od naše kuće do teretane i natrag. Ja sam prvi od tamo osvojio naslov Zlatnih rukavica. Htio sam biti pobjednik i završio s 14 (prvak) jakne. Nisam mogao govoriti engleski. Znao sam španjolski i zajedno sam govorio španjolski i engleski. Prva riječ koju sam rekao na engleskom bila je kutija. Nekad smo se borili tri ili četiri puta dnevno i izgradili smo Boksački klub Tacoma. Nastavio sam imati 338-12 amaterski rekord i od tada sam u boksu.”

Seales se razvio u prvaka, pohvaljujući najveće počasti na 1971 Nacionalni AAU i 1972 Državno prvenstvo u zlatnim rukavicama. U dobi od 19, Seales prijavljen u SAD. Air Force, ali njegova je majka nazvala kako bi se Ray mogao natjecati u 1972 Olimpijske igre u Münchenu, Njemačka.

Uspjela je i ostalo, kao što kažu, je povijest. A kad se vratio kući s Olimpijskih igara, rečeno mu je da nema potrebe da se javlja u SAD. Air Force, jer je učinio dovoljno u pogledu usluge kao jedini američki boksač koji je osvojio zlatnu medalju.

The 1972 Olimpijske igre, međutim, bilo zasjenjeno ubojstvom 11 Izraelski sportaši i treneri, kao i zapadnonjemački policajac u olimpijskom selu od strane terorista u crnom rujnu.

“Tek sam napunio 20 godina,” Seales se sjetio. “Boks je bio težak kad smo tamo išli. Neki iz moje obitelji, moj trener iz Tacome, i suigrač iz Tacome (i dvostruka američka. Olimpski)Davey Armstrong bili u Njemačkoj. U početku nisam ništa znao. Morao sam privući pažnju roditelja da im jave da ne idu tamo, jer je u olimpijskom selu bilo terorista s automatima. Ja sam bio jedini američki boksač koji se ostao boriti.”

Seales je pobijedio Bugara Angjei Anghhelov, 5-0, u prvenstvu poluteške kategorije za osvajanje olimpijske zlatne medalje, jedini član SAD-a. tim da to učini. Među njegovim suigračima bio je i Armstrong, Duane Bobick, i olimpijski brončani Jesse Valdez, Marvin Johnson a Ricardo Carreras.

Posvećenost Sugar Raya Sealesa USA Boxingu je bez premca,” rekla Chris tofflemire, Direktor bivših boksačkih USA. “Njegov ponos, patriotizam, i predanost pomaganju našoj sljedećoj generaciji prvaka ono je što ga čini tako inspirativnom figurom.”

Seales se pretvorio u profesionalca 1973, pobijedivši u jednog kruga jednoglasnom odlukom Gonzalo rodriguez u Tacoma. “Šećeru” osvojio svoj prvi 21 pro borbe, sve dok nije izgubio odluku od 10 rundi da 14-0 perspektiva srednje kategorije i buduća Kuća slavnih Marvin Hagler. Dvije borbe kasnije, Seales se borio protiv Haglera u Tacomi do izvlačenja od 10 rundi (99-99, 99-99, 98-96).

“Svi su željeli pucati u zlatnu olimpijsku medalju,” Objasnio je Seales.” Otišao sam u Boston i potukli smo se u TV studiju (WNAC). Tamo se smrzavalo. Drhtala sam kad sam ušla u ring, Marvin je izašao kapljući znoj. Znao sam da gubim nakon što sam to vidio, ali objesio sam se s njim i otišao u daljinu (10 kola). Imao sam problema s upravljanjem i tri mjeseca kasnije ponovno sam se borio s Haglerom, samo ovaj put kod kuće u Tacomi. Pobijedio sam ga, ali završilo je neriješeno u 10 rundi. Zna da sam ga pobijedio!”

Seales je dovršio svoju trilogiju s Haglerom, ali bilo je to pet godina kasnije, kad je Hagler bio 42-2-1 a izbjegla ga je većina svjetskih srednjih utega. “Ja sam bio USBA (Boksačko udruženje Sjedinjenih Država) i Sjevernoamerička boksačka federacija (NABF) prvak u srednjoj kategoriji i Hagler trebali su osvojiti naslov da bi postigli šut svjetskog naslova,” Primijetio je Seales. “Izgubio sam našu treću borbu u prvoj rundi, ali to je jedino što se na televiziji prikazuje u naše tri borbe. Bile smo dvije ljevoruke, ali prešao je na dešnjaka, a on me uhvatio kukom. Plaćen sam i kupili su mu borbu za svjetski naslov.”

Seales je tijekom prošlosti trenirao dvije različite amaterske momčadi u Indianapolisu 11 godina, pobjeda 10 Ekipno prvenstvo Zlatnih rukavica, a on je i dalje glavni u Indyu iz tima IBG.

Nakon što se povukao u 1984 nakon što je pretrpio odvojene mrežnice na oba oka, Seales je u Las Vegasu predstavljen Sammyju Davisu, Jr. (na slici dolje), koji je platio Sealesa’ $100,000 liječnički račun za njegove oštećene oči. Davis je izgubio lijevo oko u 1952 automobilska nesreća



“Ja sam učitelj,” Zaključio je Seales. “Vidim način na koji se toliko boksača želi boritiFloyd Mayweather. Glava im je nagnuta, ne mogu baciti udarac. Učim ih da imaju desnu nogu iza lijeve (za boksača dešnjaka), i hodati ravno, nije nagnut ili nagnut. Jako puno, peta svaki put kad se okrenete je vaš stav.

“Moj savjet za boksače koji se nadaju natjecanju u 2020 Olimpijske igre su usredotočiti se na ono što radite i slušati kako to učiniti. Ono što zaista želim jest trenirati američku olimpijsku boksačku momčad 2024.”

NEW YORK – April 6, 2020 - SHOWTIME Sports will continue to serve boxing fans during the current hiatus from live sports, announcing today SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS with regularly scheduled replays of legendary bouts from the network’s deep archive of world championship boxing. SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS will air on three consecutive Friday nights beginning April 10, na 10 poslije podne. ET / PT na Showtime. The telecasts will also be available via the SHOWTIME streaming service and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

The April slate of SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS will be highlighted by three Fight of the Year winners, which include some of the most heart-pounding and unforgettable fights in boxing history.

Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I - 2005 Consensus Fight of the Year (also featuring the Round of the Year and later named Fight of the Decade)
Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo II

During each SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS televizijska emisija, Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell, the network’s versatile combat sports analysts, will host a live companion episode of their digital talk show MORNING KOMBAT na Morning Kombat YouTube Channel. Thomas and Campbell will watch the SHOWTIME replay and react to the fights in real time, feature special guest interviews with principal participants from the bouts (Borci, treneri, referees and promoters) and take questions from fans while the bouts replay on the network.

“The greatest fight I’ve ever covered,” said Al Bernstein, the International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst. In a career that spans more than 40 godina, including calling Hagler-Hearns, Bowe-Holyfield I and the Vazquez-Marquez trilogy, Bernstein says the first Corrales-Castillo war was the best. “This was Hagler-Hearns times three because it lasted so much longer. It was fought at a such an extraordinary skill level and to me that is what made it so special.”

The fights scheduled to air in April include:

Corrales-Castillo I (Svibanj 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10) – After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds in a WBC and WBO lightweight unification bout, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from dva knockdowns in the 10th to stop Castillo and etch his name in boxing lore. After managing to beat the count (and losing a point for spitting the mouthpiece), Corrales got Castillo on the ropes and connected with a huge right hand. Corrales continued to unload on a defenseless Castillo, forcing referee Tony Weeks to halt the blazing action.

Corrales-Castillo II (Listopad 8, 2005, Castillo KO 4) – Castillo, who did not make the 135-pound weight limit, making the contest a non-title bout, avenges an earlier loss to the WBC and WBO Lightweight World Champion Corrales with a one-punch, fourth-round knockout. Castillo consistently outworks Corrales and lands the harder punches in a more one-sided bout than their first affair. Castillo staggers his opponent with a right hand in the third round that sends him stumbling backward across the ring. He then scores a finishing knockdown with a left hook in the fourth that puts Corrales flat on his back.

Ayala-Tapia I (Lipanj 26, 1999, Ayala W 12) – In some of the fiercest two-way action in the history of Las Vegas boxing, southpaw Ayala hands Tapia his first professional loss in 49 fights and captures the WBA Bantamweight Title by the scores of 115-114 a 116-113 dvaput. As the boxers were being announced, Tapia walked across the ring and shoved Ayala, causing a momentary skirmish.

Ayala-Tapia II (Listopad 7, 2000, Ayala W 12) – In a rematch of 1999’s Fight of the Year, the action between the heated rivals does not disappoint. Međutim, the outcome is the same as their first meeting, with Ayala winning via controversial unanimous decision. Mayhem ensues as the decision is announced and an incensed Tapia is ushered from the ring by security.

Matthysse-Molina (Travanj 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11) – Fighting in the night’s co-main event, Matthysse steals the show with a spectacular 11th-round knockout over Molina in 2014’s Fight of the Year. The Argentine, then ranked No. 1 in the world at 140 funti, is hurt in the first and dropped in the second and fifth rounds. But Matthysse comes back with knockdowns in the eighth, 10th a 11th rounds to turn back a determined bid by Molina.

Bey-Molina (Srpanj 19, 2013, Molina KO 10) – In one of ShoBox: The New Generation’s most unforgettable rounds, Molina comes back from the brink of certain defeat to dramatically knockout then-unbeaten Mickey Bey. Heading into the 10th i finalni krug, Molina was trailing on the three judges’ scorecards by 90-81, 89-82 a 88-83.

ZATVORENO I LIČNO SA 10 VREME SVJETSKOG ŠAMPIONSKOG ŠAMPIONA CAITLIN ZAHVALJENO JE NJEGOVO PRO BOXING DEBUT

Ostavite komentar
S ovom pandemijskom blokadom gotovo u cijelom svijetu, mnoge su borbe već otkazane, od najvećih, kao što je Anthony Joshua protiv Kubrat Pulev, sve do mnogih događanja u maloj dvorani.


Iako jasno zaključavanje utječe na sve koji su uključeni u naš voljeni sport, natjerala me na one koji su se pripremali za svoj profesionalni boksački debi, kao što je današnja žrtva, oprosti gost, Caitlin Foran, koji je trebao nastupiti 25. travnja u Orkneyu.


Caitlin je deset puta svjetski prvak u kickboxingu, prilično postignuće za nekoga tko je još uvijek pravedan 19 godina, neka se suoči s postizanjem tako visokog statusa u bilo kojem sportu u tako mladoj dobi prilično je dostignuće i bez sumnje će joj veliko iskustvo borbenog sporta biti od koristi kad se završi ova pandemija i ona debituje.


Zapravo sam imao zadovoljstvo upoznati Caitlin u ožujku na nekom događanju u Barrow-in-Furnessu, gdje je podržavala Paula Peersa kad je izazivao, i tuku, Nikaragvanski Milton Arauz za profesionalno boksačko vijeće (PBC) Međunarodni naslov, i uvijek je namjeravao pokriti svoj probni debi, ali s tim vraćanjem tek kasnije u godini, zbog trenutne situacije odlučila je umjesto toga dogovoriti intervju s njom.


Dosta mi je vafla, upoznajmo ovu nevjerojatnu tinejdžersku zvijezdu malo bolje.




(GDC) Zdravo Caitlin, hvala što ste izdvojili vrijeme da odgovorite na nekoliko pitanja za nas. Moje prvo pitanje je koliko razumijem da ste višestruki svjetski prvak Kick Boxer, Možete li, molim vas, reći našim čitateljima malo o vašoj karijeri u Kick Boxingu?




(CF) Tako sam započeo kickboxing unutra 2008 u dobi od osam godina, u to vrijeme žonglirao sam kickboxingom s mnogim drugim sportovima i aktivnostima, ali s vremenom mi je pažnja zapela za kickboxing i to je postao moj život.


Svakako nisam bio jedan od tih ljudi koji su imali talent za sport. Nisam bio fleksibilan, Nisam imao povjerenja, ali jedina stvar koju sam imao do danas me je odlučnost.


Živeći na otoku nismo uspjeli doći do toliko natjecanja koliko su to mogli drugi klubovi na kopnu, što znači da smo znali da moramo uložiti dodatne napore kako bismo nadoknadili nedostatak iskustva.


Također iz velike obitelji u kojoj je moja majka bila samohrani roditelj 5 djeca su značila da se rijetko uspijevam izvući da se takmičim i nisam baš započela pravilno natjecati se dok nisam ubacila svoj crni pojas 2011.


Tada sam se počeo natjecati obično jednom mjesečno, a prvo veliko natjecanje bilo je škotsko prvenstvo WKA u Glasgowu, gdje sam osvajao 2x zlata, to je bio moj prvi veliki poticaj samopouzdanja i nastavio sam se takmičiti češće osvajajući više škotskih naslova, kao i britanske i europske.


Tada sam dobio poziv za svoja prva svjetska prvenstva u 2013 u Italiji gdje sam otišao s brončanom medaljom.


Uvijek sam više volio bodove kad sam se takmičio, što je više karate stil, 'Start stop’ stil borbe, ali na mom drugom svjetskom prvenstvu u Pragu u 2014, bila je žena bez borbe za svoj prsten Kontinuirani odjeljak pa su me pitali hoću li se boriti.


Nikada nisam bio onaj koji je odbio borbu, pa sam uzeo bitku i na kraju je pobijedio kao i dvije druge pa sam otišao s svoja prva tri svjetska naslova i novom ljubavlju za borbu protiv ringa..


Iz 2014 za 2017 Nastavio sam osvojiti još sedam svjetskih naslova u raznim zemljama.


Po 2016/17 moja kickboxing karijera zaista se pokrenula i uskoro sam gledao kako ću se profesionalno okrenuti, međutim na kraju 2017 moj trener Ryan Reffell tužno je prošao što je okončalo moju kickboxing karijeru.


(GDC) Što je utjecalo na vas da pređete iz Kick Boxinga u profesionalni boks?


(CF) Kao što sam već spomenuo, Nikada nisam bila prirodno fleksibilna osoba pa su me u kickboxingu noge pretežno koristile za snažne pojedinačne udare tijela.


Dok sam još uvijek trenirao s Ryanom u sklopu Nemesis Kickboxinga, na kraju 2015 zaključili smo da mi je od ruke bolje i počeli smo razmišljati o prelasku na boks.


To je dovelo Ryana da počne s tečajevima boksa u ponedjeljak navečer, kao i kickboxing satove tijekom tjedna.


Ponudili su mi prvu borbu tog rujna 4 dana obavijest o međunarodnoj tituli UKBC u pero. Nastavio sam pobijediti u borbi i obranio je u revanšu tog prosinca.


2017 bila je kada sam se stvarno počeo više fokusirati na boks, a manje na kickboxing i imao sam još dvije borbe, s tim da je posljednja borba u mojoj nelicenciranoj karijeri bila borba za naslov pet nacija u travnju 2017 što je donijelo moj zapis 4-0-0.


Mislio sam da je moja boksačka karijera tada završila, sve dok se Paul Peers nije preselio u Orkney u 2018 i stupio u kontakt preko Facebooka koji je tada ponovno započeo moj trening jer je pokazao veliko zanimanje za moj boks i bio mi je ogromna pomoć u povratku ljubavi prema sportu i pokazao je da vjeruje u mene što me čini samopouzdanijim u sebe i dobio sam sebe natrag na pravilan trening prije nego što sam u siječnju ove godine potpisao profesionalni ugovor.


(GDC) Trebali ste održati svoj profesionalni boksački debi u Orkneyju 25. travnja, očito je to odloženo zbog pandemije COVID-19, pa prvo kako su tekle pripreme?


(CF) Da, bilo je poražavajuće kada je sve to počelo, ali svaki dan trčim i domaćim vježbama, držim se što aktivnije koristeći malo prostora koji imam kod kuće.


(GDC) Je li Vlada naredila zaključavanje utjecalo na vaše pripreme?


(CF) Prije zaključavanja bili smo sparing barem jednom ili dvaput tjedno u klubu i započeli smo partnerstvo s Lee Mcallister u Assassin-ovom boksu u Aberdeenu kako bismo izmiješali borce Orkney Boxing Clubs-a i njihove sparinge vikendom.


To smo uspjeli samo jednom do sada jer je vrijeme bilo loše i čamci nisu sigurni da će trčati, ali planirali su više u vodstvu do nastupa.


(GDC) Kada se zaključavanje zaustavi i objavi novi datum, vaš protivnik se navodi da je Carly Mackenzie, znate li puno o njoj?


(CF) Prvobitno sam se trebao boriti protiv Carly Mackenzie, međutim, moj protivnik se nedavno promijenio u Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Međunarodni prvak srebra Jamie Bates Wallis. Ne znam mnogo o Jamieju da budem iskren, ali prema onome što sam vidio ona je jak ortodoksni bokser s jakim napadom i oštrom odbranom.


Vodio sam borbu znajući da će to biti izazov, pogotovo što je moja prva borba u leđima 3 godina.
Dokazala se kao prvak, tako da da bih ja postala prvak moram pobijediti prvake.


(GDC) Odmičući se od dosadašnje karijere, tko vam je najdraži boksač, muško ili žensko, i zašto?


(CF) Moj najdraži boksač do sada mora biti Katie Taylor. Odigrala je veliku ulogu u ženskom boksu tamo gdje je danas i prava je inspiracija bilo kojem sportašu vani jer je pokazala da svaku prepreku možete prevladati ako zaista želite nešto.


(GDC) U istoj veni, koja je tvoja najdraža borba za sva vremena, i zašto?


(CF) Teško je izabrati najdražu borbu, ali mora biti posljednja borba Katie Taylor protiv Christine Linardatou dok je nastavila svoj pobjednički rekord i dodala WBO Super-Lightweight titulu svom sve rastućem popisu postignuća. Obično bi se Taylor zaglavio u svađi, ispaljivanje hitac nakon pucanja. Međutim, ovaj put držala se vani pametno boksajući i ne trošići energiju.


(GDC) Hvala vam što ste izdvojili vrijeme za odgovore na moja pitanja, napokon postoji netko koga biste željeli spomenuti s obzirom na vaš nadolazeći debi?


(CF) Želim zahvaliti svom sponzoru, Gary Sutherland u GSRI-u, Steven Logie na snazi 101 za održavanje moje forme i Paul Peersa za sve što je učinio u posljednjih godinu i pol kako bi mi povratio samopouzdanje i ponovno zaživio svoju ljubav prema boksu. Želio bih uzvikivati ​​i sve svoje stare suigrače na Nemesis kickboxing akademiji i Nemesis Boxing teretanu bez njih. Ne bih bio ovdje gdje danas.

New York State Boxing HOF & Prsten 8 establish fund to assist boxers and boxing personnel in New York

NEW YORK (Travanj 1, 2020) – The New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) and Ring 8 jointly announced today a partnership to establish a COVID-19 fund to assist New York and New Jersey boxers and boxing personnel who are in financial need during the coronavirus pandemic.

Any boxing personnel (boksači, treneri, cut-men, itd) who are independent contractors and live in New York or New Jersey may apply for monetary assistance by filling out a request form posted atwww.NYBoxingHOF.org awww.Ring8tv,s, or request a form atfightpublicist@gmail.com to be directly emailed.

All applicants must be licensed (NYSAC, NJSAC or USA Boxing) and forms must be submitted to NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy by email (depcomish@aol.com) or call him (1.516.313.2304) with the required information.

“Gyms are closed, and boxing has been suspended indefinitely,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy said. “Most boxing trainers, cut-men and other boxing personnel are independent contractors, so they do not have any income right now during this pandemic. They have families to support, rent to pay, food to put on the table, and other critical expenses. We want to help them by establishing this fund. We’re not in the position to give each applicant a large stipend,  but we are able to provide a small payment to temporarily help them a little bit. We’re committed to doing this for the month of April, at the very least, and then we’ll will revisit extending payments until boxing returns, as long as there is money available in this fund. It’s the right thing to do!"

“Ring 8 is furthering our goals to assist boxers and boxing people in New York during this crisis,” Ring 8 president Charlie Norkus, Jr. added. “It has been our mission since the very beginning. We are pleased to join the New York Boxing Hall of Fame in this endeavor.”
