IWBHF Announces 2018 Inductees
Myriam Lamare, Belinda Laracuente, Jessica Rakoczy,
Mary Jo Sanders, Vonda Ward, Julie Lederman,
Belle Martell & Bernie McCoy |
The International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame has announced the 2018 inductees. The eight honorees include five retired boxers, a referee, a boxing judge and a journalist. The fighters include Myriam Lamare, Belinda Laracuente, Jessica Rakoczy, Mary Jo Sanders and Vonda Ward; the boxing judge is Julie Lederman, the referee, honored posthumously, is Belle Martell and the journalist, the first male ever so honored, is Bernie McCoy.
Y 2018 inductees bring the five-year IWBHF total to thirty-seven. The Hall was conceived and founded in 2014 by Sue Fox, publisher and editor of WBAN, the longtime site of record for the sport of Women’s boxing. WBA, for over two decades, has spotlighted and brought awareness to the sport of female boxing and five years ago, Fox crystallized that focus with the establishment a Hall of Fame, centered solely on the sport.
The five boxers being honored represent headline fighters from the past two decades in the sport and represented an era when the best of the female boxers, more often than not, were matched with other top fighters in their weight class. The five inductees represent countries ranging from France, Puerto Rico and Canada and include two U.S. athletwyr, an indication of the burgeoning international flavor into which the sport has evolved.
Myriam Lamare epitomized the noun “fighter.” She had one gear, “all out” and knew only one direction, “straight ahead.” It is not an overstatement to call her two bouts with Anne Sophie Mathis fights that served to ignite interest in the sport of female boxing in Europe. Lamare fought 177 rounds over her career and was in the ring with every top boxer in the sport, ranging from Mathis to Holm to Braekus.
Belinda Laracuente set the bar high for a “go anywhere, fight anyone” reputation. The Puerto Rican born boxer fought every good fighter in the sport, including Christy Martin, Sumya Anani and Holly Holm in this country and Myriam Lamare in France, Esther Phiri in Zambia, Duda Yankovich in Brazil, Jelena Mrdjenovich in Canada and Emiko Raika in Japan. It was said that Laracuente, yn y cylch, had every move in the book along with some that were only in rare editions.
Jessica Rakoczy came out of Hamilton, Ontario and followed the pattern of the other inductees in looking up the rankings for opponents, fighting Layla McCarter, Jenifer Alcon and Jane Couch. But it was her 2007 loss to Ann Marie Saccurato that is often talked about when the subject is “best fights, ever,” in the sport. For Rakoczy, the bout was a text book example of the ring adage that even in defeat, y “good ones” often bring out the best in themselves and their sport.
Mary Jo Sanders had twenty-five wins over a sterling career coming out of the quintessential fight town of Detroit. She also had a loss and a draw on her record, both against the “wyneb” of the sport, ar y pryd, Holly Holm. The Holm bouts were the highlights of a career for a very fundamentally skilled fighter who had big wins against Layla McCarter and Chevelle Hallback.
Vonda Ward might well be considered the best all-around female athlete ever to box professionally. She was an outstanding high school basketball player in Cleveland before matriculating to the University of Tennessee to play for legendary coach Pat Summitt. Yn y cylch, Ward compiled an estimable 23-1 cofnod, beating heavyweight fighters such as Carleton Ewell, Martha Salazar and Marsha Valley, losing only to highly regarded Ann Wolfe.
Julie Lederman grew up in a boxing household. Fel y cyfryw, it is fair to assume she was probably exposed to the sport from a young age. Those two circumstances may have had something to do with her gravitating to the sport as a boxing judge. Those two circumstances have nothing to do with her becoming one of the top officials in the NYSAC. Similar to the fighters honored by the IWBHF, she is a very good boxing judge, not a very good female boxing judge; she is also not a very good judge with a well- known last name. She is a very good judge well worthy of induction into the IWBHF.
Belle Martell, who is honored with induction posthumously, was the first female referee licensed in California in April,1940. She continued, along with her husband, Celf, to be a factor in boxing for the following two decades serving also as an active promoter in the state’s amateur ranks along with being a highly-sought after ring announcer.
Bernie McCoy began writing while in the Army, serving with the Armed Forces Press Service. Upon discharge, he alternated between advertising (copywriting for the Reynolds Tobacco and Coca-Cola accounts) and the newspaper business (sports writing in St. Louis, New Orleans and various New York suburban papers) before retiring from two decades as part of the Media department at Pepsi Cola. Subsequently, he has written extensively about Women’s boxing for a number of Internet sites, most notably, WBA. Founder and publisher, Sue Fox remarked “while always a staunch advocate and strong supporter of the sport, (McCoy) never pulled his punches in his writing.”
While the fifth class of the IWBHF may be slightly more diverse than previous groups, including three “non-participant” inductees, this ground breaking enterprise continues to forge ahead with its focus and mission, to provide recognition to a sport and it’s integral figures, past and present, who have contributed to the progress thus far achieved and to the future growth of the sport and it’s athletes.

DYFYNIADAU FLASH
DEONTAY WILDER:
“Rydw i'n mynd i adael i'r byd wybod nad yw'r pwysau yn golygu dim; mae'r cyfan yn feddyliol ar ddiwedd y dydd. Fel dw i wedi dweud, Byddai'n well gen i fod y rhan nag edrych y rhan. Rwyf wedi dweud sawl tro fy mod yn rhoi'r dynion hyn ar eu asyn, a dyna dwi'n dod i'w wneud Dydd Sadwrn nos. Dro ar ôl tro mae fy holl fechgyn wedi pwyso'n ormodol arnaf. Felly dyw hynny'n ddim byd o'i gymharu â lle des i, a dim byd o'i gymharu â lle rydw i'n mynd yn dod Dydd Sadwrn nos. Rydych chi i gyd i mewn am wledd ac alla i ddim aros.
“Ar bapur mae wedi edrych yn dda yn erbyn y gwrthwynebiad y mae’n ei wynebu, ond nid yw erioed wedi wynebu Bamiwr Efydd; nid yw erioed wedi wynebu boi sydd â mwy o reddf lladd nag ef. Nid yw erioed wedi wynebu dyn sydd eisiau rhwygo ei ben i ffwrdd, ac yr wyf yn ei olygu RIP ei ben i ffwrdd!
“Fi yw’r gorau ac rwy’n barod i ddangos ar ddydd Sadwrn noson mai fi yw’r gorau yn y byd.”
LUIS ORTIZ:
“Roedd ein gwersyll hyfforddi wedi’i baratoi ar gyfer beth bynnag roedd Deontay Wilder am ddod ag ef i’r cylch, ai rhedwr ydoedd, neu dyrnwr – beth bynnag mae am ei wneud rydym wedi hyfforddi ar ei gyfer felly does dim problem.
“Rhaid i chi addasu a gwneud newidiadau yn ystod noson ymladd, ac rwy'n barod i wneud hynny ac rwy'n brofiadol o wneud hynny. Rwyf wedi bod yn aros fy ngyrfa gyfan i wneud hyn fel pro ac fel amatur mae hyn yn rhywbeth na freuddwydiais erioed y byddwn yn ei wneud, ac nid wyf yn colli yfory."
ANDRE DIRRELL:
“Mi welais i ddarn o gig, ac rydw i'n newynog.
“Mynnodd yr IBF hyn. Roedd dau gam o'r frwydr ddiwethaf a chefais fy nharo ar ôl y gloch, a thrawyd ef ar ol y gloch. Roedd yr IBF eisiau unioni'r cam hwnnw a dyma'r unig ffordd i wneud hynny. Mae'n haeddu'r ergyd hon ac rwy'n haeddu'r ergyd hon. Mae'n mynd i fod yn frwydr well y tro hwn.
“Mae'n ymwneud â beth [hyfforddwr newydd] Virgil [Hunter] wedi gwneud gyda fy meddwl. Mae'r gallu yno, fel y gwyddom oll. Rydyn ni wedi perffeithio hynny. Ac rydym wedi newid y meddwl y tro hwn, yn ogystal.
“Rydyn ni i gyd yn gwybod bod Jose Uzcategui yn ymladdwr yn llawn; gall y bachgen hwnnw daflu, ond dyw hynny ddim yn mynd i fod yn ddigon yn y nos ymladd.”
JOSE UZCATEGUI:
“Ni fydd yn rhaid i’r dyfarnwr ymyrryd; Byddaf yn ei guro allan yn gynt y tro hwn.”
“Efallai os yw Virgil Hunter yn dod yn y cylch hefyd oherwydd dyna'r unig ffordd maen nhw'n mynd i ennill yw os yw'r gornel yn cyrraedd y cylchoedd.. Achos dyna’r unig ffordd y byddan nhw’n cael y fuddugoliaeth.”
