Pressemøde CITATER, FOTOS & VIDEO

På torsdag, April 16, Roc Nation Sports and Miguel Cotto Promotions hosted a press conference at The 40/40 Club in Manhattan to announce the next highly anticipated battle for Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KO s), the reigning WBC Middleweight and Ring Magazine World Champion and the first native of Puerto Rico to become world champion in four different weight classes. På Juni 6, 2015, Cotto will defend his titles against former Two-Time World Champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KO s) of Australia in a fight that will be televised live on HBO from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

 

Here’s what the participants had to say…

 

Miguel Cotto: “All I have to say is I’ve been here for the past two days and I’m eager to get back to Los Angeles and get into another training session and get back to New York on June 6. All I have to worry about is my mindset during the fight. I know Daniel is a great fighter and I’m going to do my best as always to bring a good and exciting fight to all the fans. See you all on June 6.”

 

Daniel Geale: “I’m as excited as you can ever imagine. This is a great moment for me. Og komme Juni 6, it’s going to be a hell of a fight and I can’t wait to walk away with the titles.”

 

Michael Yormark, Præsident & Chief of Branding and Strategy of Roc Nation: “Today is a historic day for Roc Nation and our boxing division. Muhammed Ali once said ‘he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.’ At Roc Nation, we decided to launch our boxing division in August of 2014. We knew we were taking a risk. We knew that we were entering a sport that was established with a long history in a deep-rooted culture. It took courage, but frankly Roc Nation is nothing if not courageous…we’re committed to promoting the biggest fights and the biggest fighters. Now just a few short months later, we stand here with one of the best fighters in the world, announcing a world championship bout inside the new mecca of boxing, Barclays center, and broadcast on the standard bearer for live boxing telecasts, HBO. It took courage and risk to get here but this is a proud moment for all of us.”

 

Hector Soto, Miguel Cotto Kampagner: “Miguel Cotto is back and he’s in his second home in New York. As everyone knows, it’s been a tradition for the past couple of years that Miguel fights on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, so it’s an honor to fight during that time again. På Juni 6, Miguel Cotto will defend his Middleweight WBC Championship against a tough opponent, Daniel Geale. Have no doubt, it will be a great fight at Barclays Center and everyone will enjoy the fight especially the Puerto Ricans. Miguel Cotto will be ready, will train as hard as always and be ready for the challenge Daniel Geale brings.”

 

Gary Shaw, Gary Shaw Productions: “If you look at Daniel’s fight against Sturm, when we went to Germany and lifted the belt and became the world champion, that’s the Daniel Geale you’re going to see on Juni 6. You’re going to see a great fight. Miguel Cotto is a great fighter. Daniel understands that and we have a great deal of respect for him, men på Juni 6on HBO at Barclays Center, it will be a whole new night. It will be a night when Daniel Geale takes the belt back to Australia.”

 

Brett Yormark, CEO of Barclays Center and the Brooklyn Nets: “Boxing is a big part of what we do at Barclays Center. We’re very passionate about it and very deeply committed. This will be our 13th big night of Brooklyn Boxing in just two and a half years and I am proud to say that Barclays Center is the new mecca of boxing in this country. Miguel Cotto has a storied history in New York, so we are delighted that he is calling Barclays Center his new home in this city.”

Efterlad en kommentar

Provodnikov puts on heroic effort in Matthysse bout; “Den sibiriske Rocky” once again shows why he is boxing’s most exciting fighter

Efterlad en kommentar

Philadelphia (April 20, 2015)— Denne sidste Lørdag nat, boxing fans witnessed a classic bout that saw Lucas Matthysse eek out a close majority decision over Ruslan Provodnikov i en 12 round -junior welterweight clash in front of a sold out crowd at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
Kampen, which was televised by HBO Boxing After Dark, has already jumped to the head of the list for 2015 Fight of the Year.
Much of the post fight talk has centered around the courage of Provodnikov, as he fought eleven of the twelve rounds with a severely cut left eye that was due to an accidental headbutt. With blood streaming down the left side of his face, and his eye closing, Provodnikov fought heroically to come back and hurt Matthysse several times during the bout, and in round eleven he landed a left hook that nearly sent Matthysse to the canvas.
Many at ringside, including The Bleacher Report, HBO’s Harold Lederman, Steve Kim of UCNlive.com, & Dan Rafael of ESPN.com, scored the bout even at 114-114.
“I could not be any more proud of Ruslan, said Banner Promotions Promotions Artie Pelullo.
“Lørdag night showed that he is the toughest and most compelling fighter in boxing. Lørdagens fight also solidified that Ruslan is the most television friendly fighter in the sport hands down, and there will be many more big fights for Ruslan in the near future.”

147-PUNDVÆGTKLASSEN TAGER CENTRALET igen LØRDAG, MAJ 2 PÅ MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
I endnu et klassisk showdown

I Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (April 20, 2015) — Det er ofte blevet sagt “som divisionen med tungvægt går, så går boksning,” men det har ikke altid været tilfældet og, faktisk, er måske ikke engang gyldig, når den ses fra et omfattende perspektiv, der går helt tilbage til det sene 19th århundrede. I Boksning, Den tyske forfatter Bertram Jobs episke, 420-side sofabord afhandling om alle aspekter af den søde videnskab, han skriver det, “Elegance er varemærket for de slanke og smidige stjerner i en vægtklasse under 147 pund, der har tiltrukket sig insidere og beundrere af skønhed som ingen anden.”

 

Og så er det med, hvad der vil være en anden benchmarkpost i divisionens rige historie, hvornår, påMaj 2 at MGM Grand i Las Vegas, lever på pay-per-view, weltervægt mester Floyd “Penge” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOS) tager på kollega titliste Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 KOS) i et længe forventet foreningsmøde, der bliver den rigeste priskamp i sportens historie, og som har trukket sammenligninger med nogle af de førende matchups i en vægtklasse præget med det elegante varemærke, som Job henviste til.

 

Selvom Pacquiao, den eneste fighter nogensinde, der har vundet verdensmesterskaber i otte vægtklasser, og Mayweather, der har regeret i fem vægtklasser, har ikke udelukkende eller endda mest været kampagne som weltervægte, det er næppe en overraskelse, at det vigtigste kryds i deres bemærkelsesværdige karriere kommer i samme division, som så mange af boksens største legender primært er kendt for.

 

Den “guldstandarden” som alle weltervægte stræber efter er den sene, store Sugar Ray Robinson. Født Walker Smith Jr., det tynde barn, der aldrig havde kæmpet i en sanktioneret kamp på noget niveau, var en tag-sammen med træner George Gainford til en amatorturnering i Kingston, N.Y.. Han blev spurgt, om han havde en flyvevægt, han ønskede at komme ind, Gainford var ved at sige nej, da Smith tog i ærmet og sagde, “Jeg kæmper.” Som det viste sig, Gainford havde et AAU-kort – du havde brug for en for at blive certificeret som ikke-professionel – i navnet Ray Robinson, en af ​​hans boksere, der havde opgivet sporten. Smith / Robinson vandt en fire-runde beslutning, og, skønt ingen vidste det dengang, således blev en legende født.

 

Robinson var 85-0 som amatør, inden han bliver professionel 19 i 1940. Ved 1951, han var 128-1-2 med 84 knockout sejre. Selvom han også huskes for at vinde mellemvægtstitlen fem gange, Robinson tabte aldrig som en weltervægt, vinder så ofte og så eftertrykkeligt, at den legendariske træner, Eddie Futch, blev bevæget for at observere det, “Han havde alt. Boksning færdigheder, stansning magt, en stor hage, mental styrke. Der var intet, han ikke kunne gøre.”

 

Robinson havde også et overdimensioneret ego, som måske er en nødvendig komponent til enhver storkæmpers mentale makeup. Selv et spor af tvivl om ens egen evne er ikke befordrende for succes i ringen. Enkelt gang, når du bliver spurgt om hans “golfspil,” Muhammad Ali, der ikke spillede golf, svarede, “Jeg er den bedste, største af dem alle. Jeg har bare ikke spillet endnu.”

 

Mayweather bringer bestemt den aura af uovervindelighed til sit arbejde, og måske ikke bare fordi han endnu ikke har tabt som professionel. I 2013, sagde han, “Selvfølgelig føler jeg mig uovervindelig. Jeg er den bedste. Jeg går ikke ud i nogen kamp for at finde ud af, at jeg er beatable. Jeg vil skabe en arv for mig selv som den største fighter, der nogensinde er kommet ind i ringen.”

 

Pacquiao, mens det måske ikke er så detaljeret, er ikke mindre sikker i sit eget trossystem. Det er de dybe talenter og talent, der får Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao en must-see begivenhed. Hvilke af disse fremragende krigere kan få den anden til at bøje sig efter hans vilje? Hvem får hans navn skrevet med større tryk i den store bog med weltervægte?

 

International Boxing Hall of Fame er optaget 23 krigere, der var, på et eller andet tidspunkt, weltervægtsmestre. Ud over Robinson, dem, hvis plaques pryder den hellige hall, inkluderer Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Kid” Lewis og “Mystisk” Billy Smith. Mayweather og Pacquiao er selvfølgelig sikre på at slutte sig til deres rækker, så snart de bliver kvalificerede til at gå på afstemningen.

 

Indledningen til Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao har ikke genereret nogen mangel på sammenligninger med tidligere veltervægtskonflikter, der er bemærkelsesværdige for de klassiske karakterer af disse anfald, den udbredte offentlige interesse, der følger dem, eller begge.

 

Er Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao mere sandsynligt at være en gentagelse af, sige, Leonard-Duran I, som Duran vandt på en ophidsende enstemmig beslutning i juni 25, 1980, i Montreal? Den episke Leonard-Hearns I, på Sept. 16, 1981, som så Leonard, efterfølgende på scorecards, rally for en dramatisk, 14th-runde TKO ved Caesars Palace? Trinidads kontroversielle flertalsafgørelse over De La Hoya i deres sept. 18, 1999, foreningsmøde ved Mandalay Bay? Eller vil det sætte sit eget præg på en så markant måde, at der ikke kan eller skal foretages nogen sammenligning?

 

Når det kommer til uforglemmelige anfald af weltervægt, nu skal det være indlysende, at alt og alt er muligt. Mayweather og Pacquiao vil lave historie, og tilføj det, ved at forsøge at bøje skæbnen hver til deres eget formål.

Jimmy Slattery book author Rick Blake to be Ring 8 Guest Speaker Tuesday night in New York

Efterlad en kommentar

NEW YORK (April. 20, 2015) – Author Rich Blake vil blive i morgen nats (Tirsdag, April 21) special Ring 8 guest speaker at O’Neill’s Restaurant, placeret på 64-21 53rd Drive in Maspeth, New York.

Blake is a veteran New York City-based author who has written, Slats: The Legend & Life of Jimmy Slattery, to be released next month by publisher No Frills Buffalo. Blake is best known for covering the financial world for numerous publications, including Institutional Investor, ABCNews.com and Reuters HedgeWorld. He was a co-founder and executive editor of Trader Monthly magazine. The 46-year-old Buffalo native is the author of two non-fiction books, The Day Donny Herbert Woke Up og Talking Proud: Rediscovering the Magical Season of the 1980 Buffalo Bills. He also is co-author of a third work of non-fiction, Diary of a Hedge Fund Manager.

Slattery personified the Golden Era of sports during the boom/bust 1920s and ’30s.

The sleek, handsome, lightning-fast Slattery was a phantom in the ring, soaring across the national stage like a comet before crashing into oblivion. Discarded by the ages, Blake’s book is the incredible true story of the Irish boy-wonder who captivated the boxing world at its peak.

 

At Ring 8’s monthly meeting i morgen aften, Blake will recount his research into Slattery’s early burst to fame in the metropolitan area during the spring of 1924, sharing some highlights of what he uncovered like tying in Queens fight promoter Simon “Si” Flaherty, the Queensboro A.C. in Long Island City and the Queensboro Bowl, which was expanded in the spring of 1924 as part of efforts by Flaherty and Paddy Mullins to land a Jack Dempsey-Harry Wills fight that, desværre, never came materialized. Blake will also speak about how the New York City fire department condemned the club’s stadium built at the base of the Queensboro Bridge and how Flaherty managed to get around that.
