മൈയമി (ഒക്ടോബര് 26, 2016) — Internationally renowned boxing trainer ആര്ല്യാംഡൊ Cuellar has come full circle, right back to the famed 5ആം St. Gym in South Beach, where he once visited as a teenager to learn and now trains fighters out of six days a week.
Born in Havana, ക്യൂബ, Cuellar’s family resettled in Miami when he was three with Orlando living there through high school. അമേച്വർ ബോക്സിങ് നിലയിൽ, Cuellar vividly remembers watching boxers at 5ആം St. Gym such as Cassius ക്ലേ, വില്ലി Pastrano, Vinnie Curto ഒപ്പം Florentino Fernandez, as well as legendary trainers, brothers Angelo ഒപ്പം ക്രിസ് ഡന്ഡീ.
“I watched and learned, picking up as much as much as I could,” Cuellar പറഞ്ഞു. “ഇപ്പോള്, I find myself working out of the 5ആം St. Gym for the past six weeks. It’s been an incredible experience. എല്ലാ ദിവസവും, you never know who is going to walk through the doors there. It’s been one of the best boxing gyms in the world for more than 50 വർഷം. From the days dating back to മുഹമ്മദ് അലി, fighters have been attracted to this gym because of its rich history and great sparring, as well as to the area with South Beach’s restaurants, clubs and beach. The warm, humid weather also makes it easier for fighters to lose weight running and training.
“(Owner) കൂടണം സ്പെൻസർ is carrying on the 5ആം St. Gym’s tradition. Everyday I’m there is exciting for me. Mixed ethnic groups train there and it’s a magnet for talent. There’s sparring three days a week – I call it Spar-a-rama – and everybody’s welcome to challenge themselves. The sparring is better than a lot of TV fights.
“5ആം St. Gym trainer ഗയ് Laieta had been trying to convince me to join the team for the last five years. I spoke to Dino on several occasions, expressing my desire to train fighters out of the 5ആം St. ജിം. He said, ‘Let’s do it.’ The success of the 5ആം St. Gym today has a lot to do with ownership. Dino has a passion for boxing and he is very hospitable, which trickles down to his staff and fighters. Good vibes all of the time!”
Cuellar left for Las Vegas in 1976 ഒപ്പം, after he realized that being a boxer wasn’t in his best interest, he started training fighters there in 1981 out of Johnny Garcia’s Gym. A year later, he shifted his base Brooklyn and started training fighters out of another boxing icon, Gleason ന്റെ ജിം. ലെ 2000, he resettled in Miami.
Best known as world light heavyweight champion the head trainer of ഗ്ലെൻ ജോൺസൺ, Cuellar also worked with future champions such as Nicolas Walters, Rances ബാർത്തലമി ഒപ്പം Erslandy Lara, കൂടാതെ Luis Franco, ആരോൺ ഡേവിസ് ഒപ്പം ജുവാൻ കാർലോസ് ഗോമസ്, to name a few of the more notables. ഇന്ന്, he’s the chief second for several top fighters including അന്റോണിയോ Tarver.
Recognized throughout boxing as a superior teacher, Cuellar’s success is mostly attributed to his training of fighters on an individual basis, focusing on their personal needs rather than giving all fighters the same instructions and attention.
“Each fighter needs personal and specific work to complement their God-given talents,” Cuellar explained. “You can’t teach all fighters the same way. I specialize on what I call old school meets new school. Old school was upfront and personal to go 15 റൗണ്ടുകൾ, new school is about throwing more punches, more foot movement and fighting from the outside. I teach doffense: defense + കുറ്റമായാണ്. Punches aren’t vitamins, none should be taken. Boxing is little more than a battle of reflexes; one fighters versus another, but the real trick is how the fighter uses his reflexes. I teach my fighters how to turn the ring apron into a minefield.”
Boxing has played a huge role in Cuellar’s life. Back in the 5ആം St. Gym is just another chapter in his unique life.
“I live through my fighters,” Cuellar concluded. “Every victory is my proudest moment. There are no big or little victories, every win is a happy moment because of all the hard work and sacrifices me and my fighter made during training camp.”
Orlando Cuellar is thrilled to have gone back to the future.

MIAMI BEACH (ജൂണ് 8, 2015) – The new 5ആം St. Gym is carrying on the rich boxing history established there in 1950 by the famed Dundee brothers, Chris and Angelo.

 

Known throughout boxing as the world’s most famous gym, 5ആം St. Gym became a major attraction for boxers, international celebrities and tourists alike, originally due to presence of a rising star training there, Cassius ക്ലേ, ആര്, തീർച്ചയായും, went on to become The Greatest, മുഹമ്മദ് അലി.

 

Hall of Famers and future inductees have trained at 5ആം St. Gym over the years, including Joe Louis, റോക്കി Marciano, കാര്മെന് Basilio, ആർച്ചി മൂർ, വില്ലി പെപ്, റോബർട്ടോ Duran, ലെനോക്സും ലെവിസ്, കിരണം “ബൂം ബൂം” Mancini, മൈക്ക് ടൈസൺ, ബെർണാഡ് ഹോപ്കിൻസ്, റോയ് ജോൺസ്, ജൂനിയർ. and so many other ring greats.

 

Others who have been part of the 5ആം St. Gym experience are actor Matt Damon and comedian Dave Chappelle, in addition to elite athletes such as Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Lebron James, Green Bay Packers future Hall-of-Famer Julius Peppers and former UFC great George St. പിയറി. 5ആം St. Gym’s history also includes legendary celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Sean Connery, Jackie Gleason.

 

5ആം St. Gym fell on hard times at one point but a revitalization started in 2009, thanks to new owners Tom Tsatas and Dino Spencer, who re-opened the gym at its original location on 5ആം and Washington in Miami Beach.

 

ലെ 2013, 5ആം St. Gym moved from its original location of 63 വർഷം, ഓഫ് ഓൺ, when CVS took over the property and forced the gym to move to its present location at nearby 1434 Alton Road.

 

“We’re slowly getting back,” Spencer explained. “We’ve only been reopened since 2010 and in our new location since 2013. We have new people – പരിശീലകരും, manager and fighters – and offer unique opportunities for up-and-coming professional boxers. You can’t catch passes from Tom Brady but boxers can train here every day with champions and contenders. There are also ultra-successful people here who can teach boxers about how to be successful outside the ring. We’re creating an environment at 5ആം St. Gym to give young boxers every opportunity to succeed.

 

“Wildcard Gym (ലോസ് ആംജല്സ്) is the No. 1 spot today but, on this side of the country, fighters from all over the world are coming here to train. Brian Jennings trained here for his fight with (Wladimir) Klitschko, Manual Charr trained here for his last fight, Anthony and Andre Dirrell have trained here, (സെർജി) Kovalev, കൂടി. They get elite sparring here for their training camps. Some come here with their coach, others have me train them.

 

“A lot of boxing managers are here every day like John Seip and Charr’s manager was hanging out here, കൂടി. സത്യത്തിൽ, he’s interested in signing a fighter he saw at our gym. People from Warriors Gym are here a lot looking for young talent. These people can make a difference in a young fighter’s life. Fighters are getting exposure here before they ever get to fight on TV. We also have great weather and all the amenities of South Beach. It’s only a matter of time before we’re back on top at No. 1.”

 

Times have changed and today the heart and soul of 5ആം St. Gym beats strong once again with world-class boxers training alongside supermodels Adriana Lima, Alessandra and Nina Adgal, as well as Grammy winner Cedric Gervais, just to name a few of the more notable non-boxer members working out there on a regular basis.

 

ഒരിക്കൽ കൂടി, 5ആം St. Gym is the training mecca for world champions, top contenders and promising prospects. സത്യത്തിൽ, Seip discovered gifted Italian boxer Daniele Marco Scardina at 5ആം St. Gym and signed him to a professional contract.

 

Newly-crowned International Boxing Federation (IBF) super middleweight champion James DeGale, pictured here with 5ആം St. Gym owner Dino Spencer, trained at 5ആംSt. Gym for his recent title-winning performance against Andre Dirrell, who has also trained at 5ആം St. Gym in the past, ബോസ്റ്റണിലെ. DeGale sparred with the gym’s top amateur southpaw, Niko Valdes, to prepare for Dirrell. DeGale won a unanimous 12-round decision over Dirrell to become the first Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain to capture a major world title as a professional boxer.

 

“Four years ago,” Seip വിശദീകരിച്ചു, “I moved my managerial company to Miami from New York City. It had become very difficult to find solid sparring in New York City, where boxing gyms were closing due to the demand for high rents. The 5th St Gym has grown back into a big time professional boxing gym. I house all my fighters in Miami and they all train exclusively at 5th St. Gym for boxing and conditioning. There are pros who fly in from other countries to prepare there for fights. The atmosphere is incredible and professional boxers, heavyweights to featherweights, spar there three or four days a week. അത് അഭിമുഖമായി നമുക്ക്, sparring is like a classroom and it’s pivotal for pros to prepare and learn. The teachers at 5ആം St. ജിം — കൂടണം സ്പെൻസർ, Guy Laieta and Louis Perez – are all top rated. It’s also a fun place to hang my hat. You cannot beat Miami weather for training, either.”
