کی جماعت 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, لوزیانا

کولوراڈو اسپرنگس, گود. (دسمبر 3, 2019) – Arguably the greatest American amateur boxer of all-time, مارک Breland will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday night, دسمبر 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, لوزیانا.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 قومی چیمپئن شپ, دسمبر. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, دسمبر. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & کیسینو. Hall of Fame broadcasterامام برنسٹین from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George Foremanاور “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesامام مچل اورRay Rodgers. 

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“I’m very happy to be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Breland said. “It really means a lot, especially going in this year with Foreman and Frazier. I guess it proves I’ve done a lot in boxing. I’m happy to be going in. I had a lot of fun in USA Boxing. To be going into the same Hall of Fame withEvander (Holyfield) (محمد) ہیں, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, ستم ظریفی یہ ہے, first got into boxing at the age of eight, due to him being brought to his first boxing match, Frazier-Ali I, at Madison Square Garden. “We were up in the top seats,” the Brooklyn-born and raised Breland remembered like it was yesterday. “The crowd, the atmosphere…all I could think of was, wow!  I didn’t realize until I got older that there were so many stars there watching Ali and Frazier, because they were all at ringside.

“The next day I went to a gym. I was really skinny, small, but I came back the next day. I enjoyed working out and fell in love with boxing. I wanted to box in big tournaments. This is what I wanted to do, but I had hid boxing from my parents. They knew I had I played football, but that was okay with them, because unlike in boxing, we had a helmet. I won at the Junior Olympics and it was in the papers. I saw it and thought my mother was going to kill me. My mother asked me why I hadn’t told her, so I invited her to watch me fight in the Golden Gloves. She was in one of the front rows, but afterwards when I asked her what she thought when I knocked out my opponent, she said she didn’t see it because she had closed her eyes.”

Breland went on to become a five-time New York Golden Gloves champion with a 21-0 ریکارڈ, شامل 19 ناک آؤٹ, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, جرمنی, after which he was named the No. 1 welterweight in the world by AIBA. He was also selected as Boxer of the Year (1982) by USAABF.

میں 1984 اولمپک گیمز, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Meldrick ٹیلر, Pernell وٹیکر, Jerry Page,Frank Tate, Henry Tillman اورTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 کوس) ریکارڈ, appeared to be cooler than the other side of the pillow on a hot, steamy night. No real celebrations after he won gold, to the contrary, Mark was emotionless, the same as he still is today as a trainer of champions.

“I’ve always been really laid back,” he explained. “I just remember raising my hands. At an Olympic press conference, I was asked if I was happy, and I just said I was glad it was over. I guess I didn’t seem excited. I was happy but calm. It’s the same way now (as a trainer); it’s just me. I’m happy to win and happy to be doing what I do.”

“Mark’s dominance over his competition throughout his USA Boxing career cements him as a legend,” commentedسیhris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “His ring intelligence, commitment to his craft, and ability to fight at any pace against any style makes him a tremendous example for today’s group of amateur champions. It has been a long time coming, but the Alumni Association looks forward to reflecting on his accomplishments and honoring Mark in Louisiana.”

Breland made his much-anticipated pro debut November 15, 1984, at the famed Madison Square Garden, defeating Dwight Williams by way of a six-round unanimous decision. During his illustrious pro career (1984-1997), Breland compiled a sterling 35-3-1 (35 کوس) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.

The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, عظیم 1992 US OlympianVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, Deontay Wilder کی, the reigning World Boxing Council heavyweight champion.

“Once I started boxing in the amateurs,” Breland concluded, “I started progressing. I learned a lot from other amateurs like different styles. Boxers from New York/New Jersey had different styles than boxers from Georgia/Florida, and fighting Cubans was completely different. I was beating up a Cuban fighter, but every time I hit him, somehow, they took away a point from me. I knew right away that I had to knock him out to win, and they did end up stopping the fight.”

A total of 479 boxers competed in the four qualifying tournaments with hopes of advancing to Lake Charles. The top two boxers in each weight division will advance to the next stage of the selection procedures this January in Colorado Springs and compete for a chance to represent Team USA at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Here is a closer look at the boxers stepping into the ring in the eight men’s weight divisions.

Flyweight/114 lbs./52 kg

The flyweight division will feature multiple exciting matchups, as all eight boxers will be looking to represent Team USA next year and follow in 2016 Olympic bronze medalists Nico Hernandez’ footsteps. 2019 World Championships team member and 2018 Elite National ChampionMichael Angeletti (بہار, ٹیکساس) has hopes of using his great deal of international experience he gained this year to lead the pack, while two-time flyweight national champion (’16 and ’17) Fernando Martinez (فینکس, ایریزونا.) will want to return to the top of the podium. 2018 Elite National Championships runner-upAbraham Perez (Albuquerque, N.M) has hopes of redemption to take the title. YoungsterRay Ray Robinson(Cincinnati, اوہائیو) punched his ticket to Lake Charles by winning the Eastern Elite Qualifier in his home state and his elite debut, اورJose Nieves (Avenel, N.J.) grabbed the title at the Last Chance Qualifier in Oxnard over an impressive field.Roscoe Hill is the second boxer from Spring, Texas to qualify in this division following his silver medal-effort at the Western Elite Qualifier in Reno. Los Angeles duoانتھونی Herrera اورAnthony Olascuaga round out the field. Herrera was victorious in Reno and Olascuaga finished second in Oxnard.

Bantamweight/125 lbs./57 kg

After falling short on his Olympic-qualification run in 2016,Duke Ragan (Cincinnati, اوہائیو) has been one of Team USA’s most successful boxers leading into the tournament, winning multiple international medals including a silver at the 2017 Elite World Championships and 2019 پین امریکن گیمز. تاہم, a mix of youth and veterans will make this division one to watch.David Navarro (لاس اینجلس, کیلیفورنیا.) finished third at the 2018 Elite National Championships, but punched his ticket following Raymond Ford’s move to the professional ranks.Japhethlee Llamido(Norwalk, کیلیفورنیا.) اورRashiem Jefferson (فلاڈیلفیا, پا.) had impressive runs at the Western and Eastern Qualifiers to earn the championship at those events, جبکہJonathan Mansour (La Mesa, کیلیفورنیا.) defeated an impressive field in Oxnard, کیلیفورنیا. to head to Lake Charles with momentum on his side.Bruce Carrington (بروکلن, N.Y.), a competitor in the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing, اورKevin Montano(Concord, کیلیفورنیا.), have a great deal of experience on the national and international stage to make things interesting, جبکہXavian Ramirez (پڑھنا, پا.) qualified for the trials after just recently moving up to the elite division.

Lightweight/138 lbs./63 kg

Arguably the deepest male division at the trials, the competition for the top two spots will be one of the toughest and most exciting of the week. 2019 Pan American Games and World Championships silver medalistKeyshawn Davis(Norfolk, VA.) has dominated on the national stage the previous two years, and will hope to continue his run, but will have stiff competition from the other seven boxers in this bracket. 2018 USA Boxing Elite National Championships silver medalistsDalis Kaleiopu(Waianae, ہوائی) will be looking for redemption after his close bout in the finals last year against Davis. 2015 Junior World Championships silver medalistsHarley Mederos (نیو یارک, N.Y.) hopes to repeat his impressive performance from the 2019 Eastern Elite Qualifier, جبکہ 2019 Western Elite Qualifier ChampionCharlie Sheehy (Brisbane, کیلیفورنیا.) looks to return to the USA Boxing High Performance squad after being a member in 2018. 2019 Last Chance Qualifier ChampionErnesto Mercado (Pomona, کیلیفورنیا.) made the transition to the elite division easily after dominating throughout this year on the youth stage, including an international gold medal in March.Israel Rodriguez (Humble, ٹیکساس) surprised many when he took the second spot at the 2019 Eastern Qualifier, which will be a huge confidence booster in Lake Charles, اورMarcell Davidson (Shawnee, مئی.) has the goods to reach the finals. Another boxer making the transition to elite this year, Daniel Garcia(Westminster, Colo.), secured the final spot after a strong performance in Oxnard, including a close matchup against Mercado in the finals.

Welterweight/152 lbs./69 kg

2017 ورلڈ چیمپئن شپ کانسی کا تمغہFreudis Rojas Jr. (لاس ویگاس, Nev کی.)  اور 2019 Pan American Games bronze medalistDelante جانسن (کلیولینڈ, اوہائیو) headline a strong welterweight division.Marques Valle (Wesley Chapel, FLA.) surprised many at last year’s Elite National Championships, defeating some of Team USA’s top competitors, to secure his spot.Kelvin کی ڈیوس(Norfolk, VA.), the older brother of Keyshawn Davis, will be looking to pick up where he left off in Ohio, جبکہVictor Aranda (مرحلہ, ٹیکساس) enters as the Western Elite Qualifier Champion. Lavars Carter (Cincinnati, اوہائیو) earned the final spot, and could see a potential third matchup against Johnson, as they met in Salt Lake last year and the finals of the Last Chance Qualifier, with Carter winning in Salt Lake and Johnson in Oxnard.Wayne Bourdreaux (Marrero, .) will be looking for a strong performance, as he is one of the few Louisiana natives in the field, اورMorris Young (Chesaning, مشیگن.) will be hoping to improve on his silver medal performance in Reno.

Middleweight/165 lbs./75 kg

Expected to be another weight division with exciting matchups, the middleweight division has the potential to see a fourth finals matchup between 2019 Pan American Games bronze medalistٹرائے Isley کی (Alexandra, VA.) اور 2018 Elite National ChampionJavier Martinez(ملواکی, Wisc.). Isley took the national title in 2016 اور 2017 over Martinez, while Martinez was victorious in 2018. تاہم, both boxers will have to get through six talented boxers that will be hungry to end their finals runs.Kahshad Elliot(Plainfield, N.J.), Joseph Hicks (Grand Rapids, مشیگن.) اورAntonio Garcia (Anaheim, کیلیفورنیا.) were crowned champions at the three qualifiers, and will look to continue their winning ways in Louisiana.Alexis Chaparro (نیو یارک, N.Y.), Francis Hogan (Weymouth, بڑے پیمانے پر.) اورAlex Chisholm (Hialeah Gardens, FLA.) showed why they should not be underestimated with their qualifying performances and will be tough to get through in this bracket.

Light Heavyweight/178 lbs./81 kg

2018 Elite National ChampionRahim Gonzales (لاس ویگاس, Nev کی.) has the heart and determination to succeed in Lake Charles after falling short at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing, جبکہ Atif Oberlton (فلاڈیلفیا, پا.) has been on the rise following his silver medal performance at last year’s National Championships.

                                                       Heavyweight/201 lbs./91 kg

After qualifying in two different weight classes, Adrian Tillman (کولوراڈو اسپرنگس, Colo.) chose to compete in the heavyweight division with hopes of being one of the two boxers in this division, تاہم, the 2018 Elite National Championships heavyweight silver medalists will have to fend off a tough bracket to advance.Najee Lopez (Ellenwood, Ga.), Brandon Moore(سکوٹلینڈ, FLA.) اورDevon Young(Aiken, S.C.) were crowned champions in the three regional qualifying tournaments and all three will be looking to continue their winning ways in a few weeks, جبکہJoshua Edwards (ہیوسٹن, ٹیکساس), Darius Fulghum (Rosharon, ٹیکساس) اورJamar Talley (Camden, N.J.) finished second in the regional qualifiers but could make it an interesting week in Louisiana. 2016 Elite National Champion and 2018 bronze medalistsCymone Kearney (Beaumont, ٹیکساس) was a late addition to the field after Jared Anderson moved to the professional ranks and could surprise many.

Ravven Brown (سان انتونیو, ٹیکساس) recently made her international debut at the 2019 Elite World Championships and had a quick rise to success in her short boxing career.

Welterweight/152 lbs./69 kg

Oshae Jones (ٹولڈو, اوہائیو) made history this year with her gold medal at the 2019 Pan American Games and looks to be one of the favorites for the welterweight division. The comeback of a few boxers and the rise of some up and comers will make this another exiting weight class to watch. Two boxers who recently came back to the sport and looking to shake things up are Danyelle Wolf (سان ڈیاگو, کیلیفورنیا.) اور Mary Spencer (Boulder, Colo.). بھیڑیا, a three-time USA Boxing National Champion and two-time Continental Champion made her return to the ring in impressive fashion in Reno this year, while Spencer, who is a dual-citizen, represented Canada at the 2012 Olympic Games and won three World Championships under the Canadian flag, won the Eastern Qualifier to punch her ticket to the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing. Sharahya Moreu (Albuquerque, N.M.) may be the youngest in the division at 20-years-old but has a great deal of experience and will use that against her elder opponents. Briana Che (Madison, Wisc.), Arika Skoog(بوسٹن, بڑے پیمانے پر.) اور Jill Stafford (La Mesa, کیلیفورنیا.) all won silver medals in their respective qualifying competitions and could easily surprise many in Lake Charles, جبکہ Liz Flores(Woodland Hills, کیلیفورنیا.) grabbed the last spot to compete after Morelle McCain decided to compete in the middleweight division following her qualifying in both weight classes.

Middleweight/165 lbs./75 kg

Since the departure of two-time Olympic Champion Claressa Shields to the professional ranks, Naomi Graham (Fayetteville, N.C.) has been the leader for Team USA in the middleweight division, winning multiple international medals including a silver at the 2019 Pan American Games and a bronze at the 2018 World Championships. 2017 یوتھ ورلڈ چیمپیئن Citlalli Ortiz (Coachella, کیلیفورنیا.) put on a dominating performance at the recent Last Chance Qualifier, including two wins by RSC, and will be looking to continue her winning ways into Lake Charles, جبکہ Morelle McCane (کلیولینڈ, اوہائیو) had an impressive 2019, taking a bronze in her international debut earlier this year. Alexis Gomez(South San Francisco, کیلیفورنیا.) اور Kendra Reeves (Twin Falls, ایڈاہو) picked up titles at the Western and Eastern Qualifiers to punch their tickets to Louisiana and will be looking to have another victorious tournament, جبکہ Fallon Farrar (کولوراڈو اسپرنگس, Colo.),Melody Popravak (بروکلن, N.Y.) اور Rachael Washington (نیو یارک, N.Y.) took the silver medals at the three qualifying tournaments and will hope to improve their performances in Lake Charles.

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonسے Marvis فریزیئر کہا, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.

“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatمحمد علی in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”

Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, تالیف ایک 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.

When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.

Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. افتتاحی راؤنڈ میں, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (آسٹریلیا) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (روس) سیمی فائنل مرحلے میں, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.

Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, مقابلےHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.

“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”

فریزیئر (32-4-1, 27 کوس) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofمحمد علی, جمی ایلس (دو بار), باب فوسٹر, Oscar Bonavena(دو بار), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, ڈوگ جونز, ایڈی میکحن اورجارج Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 ½, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.

“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring. We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13ویں."

West Point Boxing Fall Classic Winchester Senior Cadet Luca LoConte Botis to be showcased in final local boxing match

ایک تبصرہ چھوڑ دو
نومبر. 10 انتھونی کی Malden میں, ماس.

بوسٹن, ماس. (اکتوبر 28, 2019) – United States Military Academy Senior Cadet Luca LoConte Botis, who was born and raised in Winchester (بڑے پیمانے پر.,) is looking forward to his final local boxing competition on Sunday, نومبر 10.

Botis, captain of the West Point boxing team, will be in action in front of many friends and family members Nov. 10 at the National Collegiate Boxing Association’s (NCBA) “West Point Fall Classic,” to be held at Anthony’s in nearby Malden, میسا چوسٹس.

Members of the West Point boxing team will compete against amateur boxers from USA Boxing New England, University of Connecticut, Trinity College, Hartford College, and the University of Massachusetts.
Botis is a 2015 graduate of Winchester High School, where he captained the school’s cross country, swimming and outdoor track teams.

“It always feels nice to comeback home and fight in front of my home crowd,” Botis said. “Since this is the last local fight for me, I can definitely say there is an early sense of nostalgia.”

Botis will graduate from the United States Military Academy on May 23, 2020, after which he will be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. آرمی. Although he hopes to serve in the Infantry in either Colorado or Kentucky, Botis will not know his first assignment until Nov. 13, nor where he will be assigned until February.

Boxing has been an enjoyable experience for Botis for numerous reasons. “Boxing has helped me become a more humble, respectful person,” he explained. “In the boxing ring there must be mutual respect between the two opponents; no taunting, teasing, or any form of disrespect. Boxers must also learn to not feel emotional toward their opponents. I learned these lessons by fighting in or watching fights where instances as such occurred.

“I will not be boxing competitive in the army, but I will continue to train, because it is the best form of exercise I have ever experienced. Regarding my post-Army life, I will most likely volunteer at local gyms to train the younger generations to box.”

Unsure how long he will serve in the U.S. آرمی, at least at this stage, Botis plans to serve more than his required five years, but less than 10 سال. He speaks an incredible seven languages: انگریزی, Italian, Sicilian and Romanian he learned at home, adding Portuguese, Spanish and a little Hebrew at West Point.

Botis has somewhat followed the path set by his great uncle, Louis LoConte, who was a varsity athlete excelling in hockey. He graduated in 1948 with honors from West Point, where he was trained to fly B-52 bombers. The now 93 پرانے سال, who lives in Louisiana, served in the military until 1956. لوکاس’ عظیم, great grandfather, Louis LoConte, SR., immigrated to the U.S. from Sicily, working as mason on the West Point military base. He used to speak to his son, لو, about how much he admired young Cadets, understanding that they were special.

“West Point has taught me that life is not about my own personal gains but, instead, about service to others,” Botis concluded. “It doesn’t matter what kind of service, military of civil, but what does matter is that I will help people everywhere I go. I value my relationships at West Point so much that I would not have made it this far if I didn’t have them.”

A tribute to the USA Boxing Alumni Association will also be held during the “West Point Fall Classic,” including appearances by 1988 اولمپک طلائی تمغہ یافتہ رے مرسر, three-time Fight of the Year participant “آئرش” مکی وارڈ (الویل, MA), three-time, دو ڈویژن عالمی چیمپئن “گیلو” جوس انتونیو رویرا(وارسیسٹر, MA), and former New England amateur champion and reigning IBA super welterweight champion Greg “The Villain” Vendetti (Stoneham, MA).

USA BOXING HEAVYWEIGHT ADRIAN TILLMAN IN U.S. ARMY

ایک تبصرہ چھوڑ دو

کولوراڈو اسپرنگس, گود. (ستمبر 3, 2019) – No. 2 rated American heavyweight Adrian Tillman, who is also ranked No. 5 as a light heavyweight, is not only representing his country as a member of USA Boxing’s 2019 Men’s Elite team, he’s also serving in the U.S. Army at the same time.

Tillman, 24, is able to do both, because he’s an active soldier enrolled in the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP), in which qualified athletes have an opportunity to train fulltime for the Olympics.

“As of right now,” Tillman said, “my focus is on the Olympics. I love the military and I love boxing. So, I’ll just see where life takes me. But, as of now, 2020 ٹوکیو, جاپان, is the one thing on my mind.

“Training (in Colorado Springs) with the Elite team has definitely elevated my game all around. The coaches and trainers are always teaching me. It’s a non-stop learning environment with the team.”

Born in Riverside, کیلی فورنیا, Tillman started boxing in 2008, because he wanted to lose weight and learn how to defend himself and his siblings as he was about to enter high school.

The heavyweight with a stiff jab is a three-time National PAL champion (2018, 2017 اور 2015), in addition to capturing a gold medal at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier. His greatest accomplishment, تاہم, may be a little surprising, because it isn’t about winning medals, trophies and belts.

“My greatest accomplishment was being able to qualifying two weight classes (lightweight and heavyweight) for the Olympic Trials.”

Tillman has traveled throughout South America and Europe. He is with his Team USA teammates training in England before going straight to Yekaterinburg, روس, to compete in the 2019 Elite Men’s World Championships, ستمبر 7-21.

“Gaining a medal at the World Championships is important to me because,"انہوں نے نوٹ کیا, “not only am I representing my country, I’m also representing the Army and my family.”

When he’s in the ring, Tillman adjusts to his opponent, brawling or boxing equally, whatever it takes to win.

Adrian Tillman is a true patriot who also happens to wear boxing gloves. Whether he qualifies as a heavyweight or light heavyweight, all that matters to him is boxing for Team USA at the 2020 اولمپکس.
