A graduate of Brown University, the now 80-year-old Sammartino has enjoyed two other careers as an oral surgeon and investment advisor at Blue Fin in Providence, in addition to his role as an international boxing judge since 1985.
“I first got into boxing because Joey Angelo married my cousin,” Sammartino explained. “He fought back in the early forties. Joey fought Willie Pep twice and Sandy Saddler. That’s what got me started. We used to have the great တနင်္လာနေ့ Night Fights at Rhode Island Auditorium and I remember watching Rocky Marciano fight “ကျား” Ted Lowry there.”
Because he was a successful oral surgeon, Clark could take long weekends to judge fights all over the world. His first and most memorable world title fight was Vinny Paz-Greg Haughn I. Through his long career, Sammartino judged more than 400 လိုလားတဲ့တိုက်ပွဲတွေ, အပါအဝင် 50 major world title fights.
The list of boxers whose fights Sammartino judged reads like a Who’s Who of Boxing during the past 32 နှစ်ပေါင်း: သူ Mike Tyson, အော်စကာ de la Hoya, Evander Holyfield, ဟူးလီယိုကဲသာဘုရင်ချားဗေ့စ်, Johnny Tapia, Naseem Hamed, ခရစ် Eubank, ဖြစ်သူ Marco Antonio Barrera, Mark Johnson, ဝိန်း McCullough, Wladimir Klitschko, Gennady Golovkin, Anthony Joshua, ဆာဂေး Kovalev, ဘားနတ် Hopkins, Juan Manuel Lopez က, Nonito Donaire, Acelino Freitas, အိုင်ဗန် Calderon, ဖေလဇ်ထရီနီဒက်, Tommy Morrison and many more.
Sammartino, who proudly says he never missed a day of work in 40 နှစ်ပေါင်း, has decided to retire, although he’ll remain a boxing fans for the rest of his life. “I started slowing down at my age, doing local shows and maybe three or four world title fights a year, mostly WBO and IBF,” Sammartino remarked. “I had a tough bout with pneumonia the past 5-6 months and that made working difficult.”
His CBHOF induction is a fitting ending and tremendous tribute to Sammartino and his career in boxing. “I’m humbled to be inducted into the Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame,” ဟုသူကပြောသည်. “This is a great way to end my career.”
