RICHARDSON HITCHINS AND NICK DELOMBA DISCUSS TRAINING CAMP AHEAD OF SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT MATCHUP ON SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION FRIDAY, ФЕБРУАР 28 ЛИВЕ ОН СХОВТИМЕ®
FOX SPORTS AND ESPN OFFER EXTENSIVE WILDER VS. FURY FIGHT WEEK PROGRAMMING
Celebrated manager Jackie Kallen predicts unbeaten Mykquan Williams will be her sixth world champion
MANCHESTER, Цонн. (Фебруар 12, 2020) – Women’s pioneerЏеки Каллен, the first and arguably most successful female manager in the boxing history, strongly believes unbeaten 21-year-old“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 КОс) will develop into her sixth world champion.
Виллиамс, fighting out of East Hartford, ЦТ, is the reigning the World Boxing Council (ВБЦ) United States super lightweight champion.
“Mykey has a lot of the qualities as some of the greats in boxing,” Kallen said. “He has some of the flash and speed of fighters like Реј Леонард, and the training habits and dedication of Thomas Hearns и Мајк Тајсон. He also has a killer smile and good looks like Хектор Камачо, Ср.
“Mykey can go all the way to a world title. He has the speed, attitude, and heart, along with exceptional boxing ability. He has been groomed perfectly by his trainer, Paul Cichon, who has kept Mykey true to his style, working hard to perfect his skill. Mykey trains hard, eats right, and takes the game seriously.”
“Jackie’s very experienced and knowledgeable in boxing,” Williams remarked. “She’s worked with some great, world-class fighters, so she knows the route to take for me to get there.”
Cichon added, “I sought out Jackie as our manager because of her love for the sports, as well as the knowledge of that she brings to the table. She’s very well respected, as she certainly deserves to be.”
Boxing has dramatically changed since Kallen covered her first fight for a Detroit daily newspaper in 1978. The card showcased Hearns andMickey Goodwin. She became an instant fan and wrote about boxing on a regular basis. A legendary trainer/manager based in Detroit, Емануел Стевард, hired her as a publicist for his famed Kronk Gym. Some of her best friends to this day are fighters who she worked with back then. She and Hearns still get together.
After serving as Kronk’s publicist for a decade, Kallen decided to branch out and she started managing fighters. Her first client was heavyweightBobby Hitz, who today is a successful promoter and restaurateur in Chicago. She went on to manage a group of Who’s Who fighters, including world championsЈамес Тонеи, Bronco McKart, Tom “Boom Boom” Johnson, Пинклон тхомас иНонито Донаире.
Kallen, who overcame sexism in the boxing industry, is best known, можда, for her working relationship with Toney, largely because her life during that period was the inspiration for the popular 2004 филм, Against the Ropes, starringMeg Ryan as Kallen.
“Boxing today is a totally different animal,” she explained. “That’s not to say it’s better or worse, just different. There used to be more gyms in every city, heavy amateur programs, lots of shows on television networks, and enough local club shows to keep a young fighter active. I had guys back then who fought 8 на 10 times a year, који, наравно, is almost impossible in 2020.
“There wasn’t as much information available on opponents either. If you were lucky, you could buy a tape. If the fighter hadn’t been on television, мада, you were out of luck. There was no Internet, so there was nothing like BoxRec to check opponents’ records. You just had to believe the matchmaker. I had fighters expecting to fight a 14-4 guy who found out at the weigh in that he was actually 16-0.”
Бокс, likely the second-oldest profession, has continued to survive, albeit often on a roller-coaster ride.
“Today’s fighters are not as quick to fight each other as they were in the days of Hearns/Hagler/Leonard/Duran,” Kallen noted. “Back then, fighters wanted to really fight to be the best they could be. I see fighters today being more analytical and taking less chances.
“There are also more sanctioning organizations today. Back then it was most the WBA, WBC and IBF. Not to mention there was never one person who managed dozens and dozens of boxers at the same time. The game has definitely changed!"
Kallen, though is still heavily invested in the sport she loves. Confident Williams will be her next world champion, her dream is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame with Toney.
“In 1992,” Kallen concluded, “I was named ‘Manager of the Year’ and my love for the sport has never waned. As long as there is talent out there needing guidance, I will stay active.”

Nery (30-0, 24 КОс) is a power puncher who has stopped his last 11 opponents and 15 од његова последња 16. The 25-year-old southpaw from Tijuana, Mexico scored a dominant stoppage victory over former champion McJoe Arroyo in March and returned in July to stop former champion Juan Carlos Payano.

Representing Sonora, Мексико, Alameda (25-0, 13 КОс) is unbeaten since turning pro in 2014 after a strong amateur career, and will step up in competition as he faces Nery for a shot at a world title bout. The 26-year-old is ranked No. 12 by the WBC and most recently knocked out Jordan Escobar in April 2019, after three victories in 2018. Alameda will fight in the U.S. for the second time when he enters the ring on March 28, after scoring a body shot knockout over Andre Wilson in a January 2016 bout in Los Angeles.
“I’m very excited to be making my SHOWTIME debut in the main event against a great fighter,” said Alameda. “All of the years of training and fighting have brought me to this fight on March 28. Nery is a Mexican warrior like myself and I can’t wait to lock horns with him and give the fans great action all the way until the final bell.”
29-годишњи Валин (20-1, 13 КОс) will return to the ring in Las Vegas, where he nearly defeated former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in September, when he opened up a gruesome cut over Fury’s right eye with a legal punch that nearly halted the fight. While Wallin dropped the decision, he proved his mettle as a potential future heavyweight champion. Representing his native Sundsvall, Шведска, Wallin trains in New York with former champion Joey Gamache. Wallin’s last fight in Las Vegas was his second in the U.S., after his debut on SHOWTIME in April ended in a no contest because of a cut suffered by his opponent in the first round.
Fighting out of New South Wales, Аустралија, Бровне (29-2, 25 КОс) most recently scored a knockout victory over John Hopoate in November, his second win of 2019. He’s won four of his last five bouts, with his only career losses coming to Dillian Whyte and David Allen in the U.K. Browne won his first 25 про туче, including a stoppage of Ruslan Chagaev in 2016 to capture a WBA Heavyweight Championship. He will be making his U.S. деби.
Џорџ (10-0, 6 КОс) emerged victorious in a battle of then unbeaten fighters when he faced Escudero on SHOWTIME in November, taking a split-decision victory. The 30-year-old didn’t start boxing until he was 19 and is managed by Washington Redskins All-Pro offensive lineman Trent Williams, and trained in Houston by NFL All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson and James Cooper. George will look to transition from prospect to contender by defeating Escudero again on March 28.
Escudero (10-1, 9 КОс) will look to bounce back and even the score against George, and in turn bolster his own position in the light heavyweight division. The 26-year-old from Buenos Aires, Argentina has fought primarily in the U.S. since turning pro in 2017. His amateur career saw him become a national champion in Argentina in 2014 and represent his country in the Pan-Am Games in 2015. Escudero currently trains in Miami and scored three stoppage wins in 2019 before facing George for the first time.

1988 Освајач златне олимпијске медаље "Немилосрдни" Раи Мерцер осврће се на своје олимпијско искуство
ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Фебруар 11, 2020) - Тридесет две године након што је освојио златну олимпијску медаљу, „Немилосрдни“ Раи Мерцер радо се сећа свог олимпијског искуства као прошлог месеца. Мерцер, који је једини амерички шампион у тешкој категорији који је нокаутирао све своје олимпијске противнике, је постао светски првак у тешкој категорији као професионалац за нашег „тешкаша у двојци“.
За Мерцера, све је почело у Немачкој, где је његов САД. Војска је имала седиште. Пружена прилика да се избегне 30-дневна теренска вежба, Мерцер је прихватио понуду да служи као спаринг партнер за боксерског првака у тешкој категорији. Упркос томе што никада раније нисам ставио пар рукавица, Мерцер је брзо учио и био је природно јак, и он се брзо развио у 1985 У.С. Шампион војске и интер-службе у тешкој категорији.
Програм спортиста светске класе (ВЦАП), у коме квалификовани спортисти имају прилику да редовно тренирају за Олимпијске игре, didn’t exist back then, nor the Olympic qualifier rules of today. Mercer defeated future world heavyweight championТомми Моррисон in the opening round of the 1988 Olympic Trials and another future world heavyweight titlist, Michael Bentt (5-0) in the championship final. At the 1988 USA Olympic Box-offs at famed Caesars Pala
ce in Las Vegas, Mercer won a split decision (3-2) over Bentt, but Mercer had already qualified to fight in the Olympic Games by being the U.S. Armed Forces champion.
“When I was in the Army, I had to win in the service, maintain things, and go to the next step,” Mercer remembered. “I had to beat some good fighters on my way to the Olympics, and I was in the best shape of my life. There was more discipline in the amateurs than the professional ranks. Последња година пре Олимпијских игара, Напустио сам своју кућну јединицу, много путовао да се бори, и остао у кући мог тренера уместо да живи у касарни.
Мерцер је ушао у историју 1988 Олимпијске игре у Сеулу, Јужна Кореја, када је постао и остао једини олимпијски шампион у тешкој категорији из Сједињених Држава који је нокаутирао сву четворицу својих противника: Рудолф Гавенциак (Чехословачка - РСЦ3), Луиги Гаудиано(Италија - КО1), Арнонд Васндерлиде (Холандија - РСЦ2) иДобар Хиун-Ман (Јужнокорејски - КО1).
„Знао сам да у финалу морам да нокаутирам Јужнокорејца,”Мерцер је признао. „Само сам желео да учиним оно што сам могао да будем златни олимпијски медаља. Мислим да нисам користио ударац.
„Освајање златне олимпијске медаље за мене је резултирало великим променама. Постала сам позната личност, име домаћинства, и омогућило ми је да зарађујем као професионалац. Најбоља ствар која ми се догодила је освајање олимпијске златне медаље, чак и више од освајања светске титуле као професионалац. Ништа у поређењу са освајањем златне олимпијске медаље. Остварила сам свој сан. Никада нисам сањао да ћу постати професионалац, све док нисам освојио златну медаљу.
„Било је заиста важно освојити ту златну медаљу. Борио сам се срцем; није било новца, прославили тако тешко те ноћи (након освајања златне медаље) да сам изгубио медаљу на неколико сати. Мој сан се остварио, руке су ми се тресле, и изгубио сам медаљу. Каква ноћ!"
Мерцер нуди чланове 2020 Амерички боксерски тим за олимпијске квалификације само један савет, "Наставимо да се боримо, следите свој сан и направите тај последњи корак. “
Mercer, who was born in Jacksonville, Флорида, made his much-anticipated pro debut in 1989, заустављањеJesse McGhee in the third round of their fight in Atlantic City. “Merciless” won his first 18 про туче, including a ninth-round knockout ofFrancisco Damiani, followed by a successful defense against Morrison, who was stopped in the fifth round.
During his 19-year pro career, Mercer compiled a 36-7-1 (26 КОс) запис, defeating four world champions in Damiani, Моррисон, Тим Видерспун иOssie Ocasio. Five of his eight career losses were to world champions: Леннок Левис, Владимир Кличко,Ларри Холмес, Евандер Холифиелд иСханнон Бриггс.
“Ray represents everything that makes USA Boxing proud,", Рекао јеЦхрис Цуглиари, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “As an Army veteran, Олимпијске златне медаље, and heavyweight champion of the world, he has demonstrated excellence and professionalism that reflects the best of what USA Boxing has to offer.”

Mercer’s outstanding amateur boxing career also included a classic match-up against Cuban great and three-time Olympic gold medalist, Феликс Савон, at USA vs. Cuba dual match, in which Mercer twice staggered Savon, who survived without suffering additional damage only because the Cuban referee made a questionable intervention that gave his fellow countryman time to recover and a controversial 2-1 победа.
“And he gave me a standing eight-count for no reason,” Mercer added. “I beat that guy and he knows it. We’re still in touch even though he doesn’t speak English. He has a friend translate and we’re in touch on Facebook. We like each other.”
Данас, Mercer is founding a charity at home in North Carolina, which will include free boxing clinics, али, more importantly, вратити заједници и подучавати омладину, посебно они који су малтретирани, вештине које су им потребне за излазак у стварни свет.
Раи Мерцер је два пута у боксу достизао зенит као олимпијски освајач златне медаље и светски шампион у тешкој категорији као професионалац. Није превише отрцано за некога ко заправо никада није желео да боксује.
„Бокс ми је спасио живот,”Закључио је Мерцер. „Не могу да замислим свој живот без бокса, сигурно не би било исто.
