CHRIS COLBERT AIMS TO “SHOW EVERYONE WHY I’M ONE OF THE BEST 130-POUNDERS IN THE WORLD” AGAINST JAIME ARBOLEDA

Unbeaten Interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Colbert Battles Hard-Hitting Arboleda in Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® Sabtu ini, Bulan Desember 12

NEW YORK – Bulan Desember 8, 2020 – Unbeaten interim WBA Super Featherweight Champion Chris "Primetime" Colbert will look to make a statement in his first nationally televised main event as he faces hard-hitting Jaime Arboleda live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Bulan Desember 12 di 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“I always knew I was going to get here,” kata Colbert. “It’s all God’s plan. This is just going to be another day for me and I’ll show everyone why I’m one of the best 130-pounders in the world.”

The 24-year-old Colbert has shot up the rankings of the 130-pound weight class and believes that a victory on Saturday night will lead to bigger opportunities in the jam-packed division.

“This is one of the most stacked divisions in boxing and I love competing in it,” kata Colbert. “It’s great to be getting noticed in a division that has this much talent, and hopefully it’ll lead to me getting the big fights that I need. I don’t feel like there’s any certain fighter I’m targeting, but Gervonta Davis, Leo Santa Cruz and Jamel Herring would all be great fights for me. Beating them would help me become ‘the guy’ in the division.”

Colbert’s rise continued in his last fight, as he scored a 10th-round knockdown against former champion Jezreel Corrales on his way to a decision win while showing an impressive array of skills against a fighter determined to slow the action through holding and other veteran tricks.

“Against Corrales I learned not to rush,” kata Colbert. “It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. I can’t just go rush in there and expect everyone to get knocked out. I had to take my time, do what I do best and stick to my game plan.”

In the 26-year-old Arboleda, Colbert will be presented with another rising 130-pound contender with his own sights set on emerging amongst the elite in the division. Arboleda has won five of his last six fights by stoppage and most recently dropped Jayson Velez on his way to a decision victory in February on SHOWTIME.

“Come December 12, Saya siap untuk apa pun yang membawa,” kata Colbert. “I expect him to bring pressure and ‘try’ to make me tired because that’s the only chance he has. He can’t outbox me. That’s not happening. But I love to bang inside and I’m ready for whatever he does. I hope he doesn’t run or clinch me because I’d love to get the knockout and get him out of there early.”

The Brooklyn-native Colbert has continued to work with his longtime coach Aureliano Sosa in his hometown through the difficulties of the pandemic. Those difficulties have led to Colbert sparring with larger welterweight and super welterweights in camp, which Colbert believes could help him with the power Arboleda will bring into the fight.

“Training camp has been going great for the most part,” kata Colbert. “It’s just been a little hard finding sparring partners. But because it’s been difficult to find fighters at my weight I’ve actually been sparring with 147 and 154-pound fighters. I honestly love that because it prepares me better, and who’s to say that Arboleda won’t have power like them? I’m on weight now, meskipun, and ready to put on a show on December 12.”

RICHARDSON HITCHINS TRAINING CAMP QUOTES & FOTO

“I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game”



Unbeaten Rising Super Lightweight Prospect Hitchins Battles Former Champion Argenis Méndez In Co-Main Event Live on SHOWTIME® Sabtu ini, Bulan Desember 12

NEW YORK – Bulan Desember 7, 2020 – Prospek naik yang tak terkalahkan Richardson Hitchins shared details of his training camp, including pointers and motivation he received from Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis, ahead of his super lightweight showdown against former world champion Argenis Méndez live on SHOWTIME this Saturday, Bulan Desember 12 di 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

“Floyd helped me tremendously while I was back in Las Vegas,” said Hitchins. “I already have the fundamentals as a fighter, but he showed me little things here and there and workouts that I have taken back home with me while I train for this fight. I’m not shy about my ability as a fighter, because I truly believe I am the best up and coming fighter in the game, so these are the kind of fights I need in order to show the world who Richardson Hitchins is.

“Gervonta has been instrumental in past fight camps as well, and he’s the type of person you need. He pushes you to go harder. We go head-to-head in trying to outdo each other, and that’s the type of competition that’s needed in order to really be the best.”

Despite training throughout the pandemic, Hitchins has been able to remain on task and on track throughout his camp that began in Las Vegas before ending in his native Brooklyn under the guidance of his head coach Lenny Wilson.

“The thing about me is, I’m focused no matter what,” said Hitchins. “I don’t take ‘off’ after my fights. I stay in shape all year round; I don’t need to get ready in terms of conditioning or getting my body back in shape because this is my job. I take my job very seriously. The discipline Floyd has had throughout his career is the same discipline I have. I have watched my idols and taken things from them so that I can put myself in a position to win.

“I don’t think the pandemic or the holidays necessarily altered my training. I still have access to my gym. There’s nothing that’s going to stand in my way of becoming great. The pandemic doesn’t slow me down, it’s just another roadblock to test my dedication to the sport.”

The 23-year-old Hitchins represented Haiti at the 2016 Olympic Games and will return to the ring after debuting in 2020 with a 10-round decision victory over Nicholas DeLomba in February. It was Hitchins’ second 10-round decision win after his previous fight saw him best Kevin Johnson following 10 rounds in November 2019.

“I often think back to my fight against Kevin Johnson, he’s a tough fighter and he’s the one who I can confidently say brought the best out of me,” said Hitchins. “Those are the fights that make me look back and watch closely the things I need to work on. That fight also showed me that no one should be overlooked, so going into this fight against Mendez, I’m not overlooking him.”

Méndez presents the most accomplished opponent of Hitchins’ young career. The 34-year-old former champion most recently fought Juan Heraldez and Anthony Peterson to draws in 2019, and scored victories over Eddie Ramirez and Ivan Redkach prior to that. For Hitchins, the strong resume of his opponent is something he relishes as a measuring stick for his progress.

“He’s a veteran, he’s been in there with a lot of tough guys and he’s a former world champion, so he clearly has a skill set that I think I need to face at this point in my career,” said Hitchins. “I need those big fights. He’s older now, but I feel like him in his prime still couldn’t touch my skillset. It’s my job to prove that.

“I know this won’t be an easy fight, but I’ll be prepared for whatever he brings. My motivation is to be more than ordinary. I will fulfill my goals when this is all said and done, and honestly, I’m just waiting for this fight to come so I can show that. Whether it’s Méndez, or whoever, the conviction I have and how I feel about myself is stronger than anything standing in front of me in that ring.”

Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker Signs Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr.

BOSTON (Bulan Desember 7, 2020) – Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker has signed Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. dengan kontrak eksklusif manajerial.

Anderson, a union Sheetmetal worker in local 17, was a decorated amateur who won a gold medal at the 2016 Rocky Marciano Tournament, as well as The New England’s Tournament twice in 2018-2019, and won Central Division of the New England Golden Gloves Tournament twice and runner-up twice during his four-year (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.

Anderson, meskipun, didn’t start boxing until he was 23, when he walked into a gym for the first time, 10 years after his two best friends introduced him to boxing. “I started in boxing because I hoped to succeed and reach my goals through boxing,” Anderson explained. “I train at Nonantum Boxing Club in Newton (MA), di mana Marc Gargaro is my coach. He’s one of the best in New England. He coaches for USA Boxing. I wouldn’t be in this business without him because he’s built me from scratch. I’m so glad to be coached by him and we’ve developed a bond like family.

Pada usia 28, Anderson has decided to turn pro, yang, tentu saja, is relatively late in boxing. But he still feels 21 because of the way he moves and that he wasn’t on the wrong end of beatings in the amateurs. He’s also gained confidence sparring with some of New England’s top pros and amateurs.

I put a lot of hard work in the gym the past 5 atau 6 years and I got tired of the amateurs,” Anderson explained why he decided to turn pro now. “It’s not too late for me; others have started late like me and went on to become world champion. I want to be in that group.

I thank Ryan Roach for giving me this opportunity to join Fighter Locker. He’s honest and I was comfortable with him. I like him and know he’s going to keep an eye on me. Why not sign with a Boston manager to help put boxing here back on the map?”

I’m excited about signing Troy Anderson, Jr.” Roach said. “I’ve been watching him for years and he’s developed well under Marc. Troy has fought the best in the country. He’s a very well-rounded fighter. I’m excited about adding him to the stable. He’s a BOSTON fighter and a great young man. It’s a win-win for us.



Anderson realizes that he needs to move to set up his shots, throw multiple punches, and change angles. He’s a slick southpaw who normally doesn’t rush in the ring. Anderson is thrilled to know that ripping body punches will score points, unlike in the amateur ranks, and breakdown his opponent. He predicts that he’ll display more power than he did as an amateur.

I’m driven to reach my goals,” ia menyimpulkan. “I hope to make my pro debut early next year, pending pandemic restrictions. Ryan has kept his fighters busy, some fighting in Mexico. I love the challenge and can’t wait!”

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers includes Dorchester, MA kelas welter Gabriel Duluc (15-3, 4 Biaya), Troy, NY super ringan Ray Jay “Sang Penghancur” Bermudez (10-0, Biaya), Toronto, Kelas welter Kanada Jeff “Masalah 1” Tabrizi (8-3, 7 Biaya), West Haven, CT super welterweight Linggis kecil “Quiet Storm” Williams (16-4-2, 5 Biaya), bulu super Yesus Vasquez, Jr. (6-0, 2 Biaya), Super menengah “Yang Luar Biasa” Shawn McCalman (4-0, 2 Biaya), DIRI KITA. Tentara kelas bantam super Daniel Bailey, Jr., and lightweight Leonel de los Santos, a 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian

BOXER WANITA MUDAH MENuntut KEADILAN DAN PLATFORM

Atlet wanita top tinju tidak memiliki “rumah”, tidak ada jaringan untuk memamerkan bakat mereka

UNTUK SEGERA

NEW YORK — Saat perempuan terus membuat langkah menuju kesetaraan di seluruh industri, tinju dan mitra medianya tetap di masa lalu dengan mencabut hak perempuan dari kesempatan yang adil untuk menunjukkan keterampilan mereka dan mencari nafkah. Pada tahun yang sama ketika Amerika memilih Wakil Presiden wanita pertamanya, wanita kulit berwarna, atlet wanita elit yang menduduki peringkat teratas dunia tidak memiliki platform televisi atau serial tinju reguler. Tidak ada tempat bermain yang tidak adil ini yang lebih nyata daripada di Amerika Serikat dan Amerika Utara.

Mayoritas wanita papan atas dalam tinju tidak pernah bertarung di 2020, atau belum bertarung sejak Januari. Pandemi telah memukul wanita dalam tinju bahkan lebih keras daripada pria. Gambarnya tidak cerah sebelum Covid-19 dan, tanpa tindakan, tidak ada alasan untuk percaya bahwa itu akan membaik.

Ini berdampak pada semua wanita di tinju Amerika, dari bintang Claressa Shields dan Amanda Serrano, untuk juara dunia bertahan, untuk petarung enam ronde dan empat ronde. Selain segelintir atlet, kebanyakan petinju wanita harus melakukan pekerjaan penuh waktu atau paruh waktu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight dan yang lainnya telah mengejar peluang di MMA untuk menambah penghasilan mereka dan menghindari ketidakaktifan. Claressa Shields, wanita paling terkenal dalam sejarah amatir Amerika, dua kali peraih medali emas Olimpiade, dan daya tarik yang terbukti, saat ini tanpa platform dan baru saja mengumumkan kontrak multi-tahun dengan Professional Fighters League.

Juara bersatu dari Flint, Michigan, mengatakan kepada The Athletic bahwa, “Sekarang (tinju) olahraga seksis. Ini seksis dengan peluang yang kami berikan. Ini seksis dengan waktu TV. Ini seksis dengan berapa banyak kita dibayar. ketiga. Tidak apa-apa bagi seorang bintang tinju wanita untuk mencoba tangannya di MMA. Mereka seharusnya tidak dipaksa untuk melakukannya karena kurangnya kesempatan.”

“Para wanita ini secara konsisten memberikan pertarungan hebat dan jumlah pemirsa yang solid,” kata Lou DiBella, yang mempromosikan lebih banyak wanita daripada entitas promosi AS lainnya. “Mereka menempatkan orang di kursi, dan penayangan acara mereka sering menyaingi para pria. Ini bukan petarung level klub. Mereka adalah juara dunia elit dan, tanpa televisi, tanpa platform biasa, mereka tidak bisa aman secara finansial atau membangun basis penggemar apa pun. Sungguh luar biasa bahwa tinju wanita mengembangkan kumpulan bakatnya dan meningkatkan statusnya, mengingat langkanya televisi dan slot streaming yang disediakan untuk petarung wanita. Ini adalah bukti ketangguhan dan dedikasi para atlet tinju wanita, yang pantas mendapatkan yang lebih baik.”

Promotor lokal, yang berkecimpung dalam bisnis menumbuhkan pejuang dan mengisi kursi, dapat menawarkan tempat di kartu mereka dan eksposur regional, tapi dompet sangat terbatas tanpa pendapatan televisi. Pejuang wanita’ dompet sering terbatas pada persentase tiket yang mereka jual keluar dari tangan.

Di tingkat atas, wanita dilewatkan. Heather Hardy, seorang pejuang DiBella Entertainment, telah melihat perbedaan pertumbuhan petinju dari kedua jenis kelamin. “Pada konferensi pers, Saya duduk di kursi paling ujung, dengan sisa pertarungan undercard,” Kata Hardy. “Saya melihat anak laki-laki pergi dari duduk di sebelah saya di ujung meja, untuk pindah ke kartu utama, kemudian co-main, dan kemudian acara utama, tapi kursi saya tidak pernah pindah. Tidak peduli berapa banyak tekanan yang saya dapatkan, tidak peduli berapa banyak pertarungan yang aku menangkan, aku tidak pernah pindah. Seksisme sistemik tidak memungkinkan saya untuk bergerak.”

“Bukannya kami adalah organisasi yang terpisah seperti WNBA. Kami hanya diberikan peluang token, bertarung di kartu yang sama, sering dalam pertarungan yang jauh lebih kompetitif daripada pria, dan masih tidak diperlakukan dengan adil,” Kata Hardy. “Kami tidak memiliki tempat atau rumah profesional kami sendiri.”

“Ini mengalir ke calon petinju wanita dan program amatir,” Lanjut DiBella. “Wanita muda di tinju perlu melihat wanita lain di panggung besar. Mereka perlu melihat wanita yang terlihat seperti mereka di televisi dan di platform streaming. Mereka perlu tahu bahwa jika mereka mengejar karir tinju, akan ada cukup banyak kesempatan untuk terlihat memamerkan bakat mereka, untuk upah yang adil. Jika wanita mampu menjadi headline acara tinju, atau mampu menjual persentase yang signifikan dari gerbang hidup, mereka seharusnya tidak dibayar sepuluh hingga dua puluh persen dari apa yang dibayarkan kepada pria dengan kedudukan yang sama. Kami tidak mengirim pesan yang benar di sini, dan tidak ada alasan bagus untuk itu di abad ke-21.”

Kumpulan bakat yang tersedia untuk wanita di peringkat pro lebih kecil, tapi itu memaksa pertarungan terbaik. Ini memaksa wanita untuk bertarung di luar kelas berat mereka.

“Jessica McCaskill baru saja memenangkan gelar dunia terpadu, dan ingin melawan saya di 147,” said Amanda Serrano, juara dunia tujuh divisi. “Dia memanggilku di 147! Ini agak menyedihkan. Baik bagi kita jika itu masuk akal, tapi kenyataannya adalah, mereka memanggil juara di 126. Itu adalah empat kelas berat yang berbeda untuk naik. Pria tidak harus melakukan itu! Wanita terus-menerus dipaksa untuk berkompromi dengan diri sendiri hanya untuk mendapatkan kesempatan.”

Kumpulan bakat tidak akan meningkat kecuali generasi muda terinspirasi oleh wanita di televisi dan streaming – wanita yang bisa bertarung juga, dan seringkali lebih baik dari, pria yang ada di televisi sekarang. Saatnya berhenti bertanya dengan baik. Saatnya petinju wanita menuntut keadilan dan stabilitas, dan terserah eksekutif jaringan, media, dan mereka yang mengontrol akses ke platform media, untuk berhenti hidup di masa lalu. Sudah waktunya bagi wanita dalam tinju untuk berjuang untuk diri mereka sendiri dan untuk hak untuk mencari nafkah. Dan sekarang saatnya beraksi.

Gilberto Ramirez vs. Alfonso Lopez Headlines “Battle of Rio Grande”

Live Dec. 18th on pay-per-view from Galveston, Texas

GALVESTON, Texas (November 30, 2020) -- There is a Texas showdown coming December 18th called the “Battle of Rio Grande,” in which undefeated, former world super middleweight championGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (40-0, 26 Biaya) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) kelas berat ringanAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 Biaya), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Texas.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, cable and satellite, mulai dari 8 p.m. DAN / 5 p.m. PT, on pay per view for a suggested retail price of only $24.99. FITE will stream worldwide on the FITE mobile apps, all major OTT apps and website (www.FITE.tv), and Integrated Sports Media will distribute throughout North America via DirecTV, permintaan, dan DISH di Amerika Serikat, as well as in Canada on Shaw and SaskTel.

The main event fighters, Ramirez and Lopez, are co-promoters of “Battle of Rio Grande” under their promotional company names, masing-masing, Zurdo Promotions and El Tigre Promotions.

Ramirez, 29, became the first Mexican super middleweight champion of the world in 2016 with a 12-round unanimous decision over World Boxing Organization (WBO) juaraArthur Abraham (44-4).  The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, Meksiko, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), danRoamer Alexis Angulo (23-0).

Ramirez moved up to light heavyweight for his last fight a year ago, when he stopped 29-6-1Tommy Karpency in four rounds, after which Ramirez became a promotional free agent. “Battle of Rio Grande” is his first event as a promoter.

“Promoting is not an easy job,” Ramirez said, “but I have good people behind me. They’ve got my back and we work very well together. I was world champion and now I’m a promoter; I see the big picture. I don’t want to be fighting forever. I started my own promotional company so that when I retire, I will have a good life after boxing. There’s no stress on me as a promoter, the stress is on my team.”

The 6’ 3” Ramirez is a physical specimen who can dunk a basketball and could easily have been a pro athlete in a different sport like football. He follows business trends and by[opening his own promotional company, he’s taking advantages of the new era of boxing, in which he plans to aid fellow boxers, particularly Mexicans, by giving them a larger platform to display their skills.

Working with his opponent in terms of promoting “Battle of Rio Grande” is a sign of two fighters taking control of their careers, as well as being completely independent rather than under a promoter, although Lopez has been promoting in Texas for several years.

“We’ll work together but, di atas ring, he wants my 40-0 Ramirez noted. “I know he’s been training a lot, so he’s going to be faster and stronger, which is good for me because I like fighting good fighters. Everybody wants to take my record, but I’m training (In Santa Monica, SEPERTI) like the champion I am to give fans a good fight. He’s going to bring everything he has into the ring. I expect a good fight. It’s a big opportunity for him. I am fully focused on him because I want the opportunity to be world champion again.”

Lopez will be riding a 10-fight win streak into the ring Dec. 18th versus Ramirez in the 12-round main event. His most recent fight was 13 berbulan-bulan yang lalu, when he won a 10-round decision over 19-9-1Denis Grachev in Lopez’ first defense of the NABF title he captured in his previous fight with a fourth-round stoppage of 21-3Alex Theran.

Ramirez isn’t looking past Lopez for future fights against world light heavyweight champions Artur Beterbiev (WBC & IBF) Dmitry Bivol (WBA), because he knows and respects Lopez. The media and public, secara umum, underappreciated Lopez and some have taken cheap shots at him in social media.

“Maybe a little but it’s not a big deal,” Lopez responded to being asked if he was undervalued. “I’ve always said that in this busines, everybody has the opportunity to be seen. Gilberto’s beaten quality guys and he’s a world champion. I’ve promoted myself, mostly in Texas, and I’m well respected within the industry. If they really want to see who Gilberto is fighting, tune in, and then make decisions at the end of the fight and maybe they’ll change their mind. Otherwise, they should keep their opinions to themselves instead of reading about me on social media or matching up who we’ve fought.”

Ramirez has a marquee name, and he represents a career-changing opportunity for Lopez, who has captured four titles, including the NABF crown he’ll be defending. Lebih Banyak, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, sepertiDyah Davis danRubin Williams, dan 2011 Lopez extendedKelly Pavlik the distance in a loss by way of a 10-round majority decision.

Lopez isn’t fighting Ramirez simply for a payday, to the contrary. “Nobody walks into the ring thinking they’re just happy to be there,” Lopez explained. “This fight will establish me as a world-class fighter. I feel that the winner will be the best in our division and the guys walking around with their belts should fight the winner. Gilberto is a great fighter who has a lot of experience as a world champion. He has physical attributes that him difficult to fight. He’s strong and always in great condition. I need to be intelligent, able to read him, and in great shape.

“The fight will be about adjustments. We’ve both been in this game a long time and at this high level of boxing, you need to be smart and strategic, but both of us being Mexican, it could turn into a brawl at any time. People will see why nobody wants to fight either of us. I’m excited and I know he is, too. Boxing fans don’t want to miss it!"

World-rated heavyweightMichael “The Bounty” Hunter akan menghadapi veteranChauncy “Hillyard Hammer” Welliver (57-13-5, 23 Biaya), the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas champion, in the 10-round co-featured event.

USA Boxing Alumni’s 1992 USA Trials virtual reunion a major KO

Olympian Raul Marquez on USA Boxing Alumni’s 1992 US Trials virtual reunion

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (November 24, 2020) – USA Boxing and the USA Boxing Alumni Association recently held a virtual reunion via Zoom for competitors at the 1992 USA Boxing Trials, including a pair of 1992 USA Olympians, Raul Marquez and Montell Griffin. The group was comprised of 19 fighters who competed at the 1992 USA Olympic Trials, plus a few administrators, who happily spoke non-stop for an hour and 45 menit. They gleefully reminisced, shared personal updates from the past 22 tahun, remembered their most memorable experiences as amateur boxers, and even got emotional at times as they rebounded.

Some have kept in touch through emails and social media, but visibly seeing each other on the Zoom call was eye-opening for these ring brothers. “You all are part of USA Boxing,” said call host Mike McAtee, Executive Director of USA Boxing. “Hector Colon and Raul Marquez got their brothers on this call. It was a natural fit. Kami punya 13 kids getting ready to qualify in May for the Olympics. USA Boxing touches 36,000 kids every day. It changed our lives, and we can have an impact saving lives. “It’s an honor seeing you all. You are the backbone of USA Boxing. Boxing made us who we are, you have inspired boxers. This was long overdue, and we plan to have reunions with other Olympic Trials classes in the future.

This is very cool to see everybody and I enjoy listening to you,” ditambahkan Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “You’re all helping bring the spirit back to USA Boxing Alumni. Boxing people love being around boxing people, and that’s what the USA Boxing Alumni Association is all about. We’re bringing that spirit back. I love having you guys in our alumni program. This has been a blast!”

I’m not much of a boxer, but I’m happy to be part of this boxing program,” berkomentar Barry Siff, USA Boxing volunteer marketing advisor. “I grew up in Detroit during the 1980’s and hung out at Kronk (Ruang olahraga). I’m happy to be on this call. We all need to help Mike and the team going forward. Don’t wait until 2028 di Los Angeles. We have Tokyo next year and Paris in 2024. Kids can learn from you. I’m happy to be part of USA Boxing.

Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS Dibuat untuk menjadi juara seumur hidup, hubungan yang saling menguntungkan antara USA Boxing dan alumninya, –petinju, pejabat, pelatih dan penggemar tinju — Asosiasi Alumni menghubungkan generasi juara, menginspirasi dan memberikan kembali kepada juara tinju masa depan USA Boxing, masuk dan keluar dari ring.

FIGHTERS’ KUTIPAN(Robert Allen dan Tarick Salmaci were also on the call but unable to speak due to technical problems)

HECTOR COLON: I love you guys. It’s been so long. I hope we can communicate like this more often. We need you all to support USA Boxing and USA Boxing Alumni. My first international fight was in Barbados and I knocked out my opponent in 26 detik. I remember receiving the Adidas bag and shoes. It was such a special thing. I dreamed of making the Olympics and I should have, but I found God calling me away from the sport. I was proud watching you and I rooted for you. “It’s great to be back in USA Boxing and giving back to USA Boxing, because it helped me become the person I am today. I could have gone the wrong way. Let’s do this again and keep giving back to our sports.

RAUL MARQUEZ:I’m very excited to be here. I feel honored and I’m probably the only one here who fought most of the guys here. I have a lot of memories. I’m honored to be here with you, my boxing family. It’s beautiful. “Everybody here knows how hard it is to win a tournament. We know what it takes because we were all elite. We have to give back. I’m still involved in boxing.

ORLANDO HARRIS:I had the greatest time in USA Boxing. I started late. I fought once before I went into the military. I got better and learned how to fight in the military. I had to because I had to do good or go back to my unit. Di ’04 I got into car accident. Everybody died but me. They say I’m disabled, but I’m not, I still coach boxing.

PAULIE AYALA:The ’92 Olympic Trials is my most memorable moment because I was there. Di 1988, I lost in The Westerns in the semifinals and I left boxing. I wasn’t focused. I watched you people excel and didn’t fight again until 1992. I lost to Sergio (Reyes), who I had fought 16 times before that fight. I met a lot of you guys fighting in Russia. What’s inspiring is listening to all of you.

MONTELL GRIFFIN:I was late going to the rty, coming in 1991. I had two fights going into the Golden Gloves, but I lied and said I had 12 so I could fight in the opens. My first fight was in 1991. I had to fight the No. 1 orang, Jeremy Williams, to make the Olympic team. Itu 1 ½ years as were the best of my life. I looked up to all of you guys and have respect for all.

ANTWUN ECHOLS:I made it to Team USA, and I was an Olympic alternate. Raul (Marquez), he likes to talk, and I was excited to fight him. aku belajar banyak. I love being with all the guys. Larry Nicholson took me under his wing. He talked to me daily. I was a young kid, and my family life wasn’t good. When I went to the ’92 championships, these people were my family. “I was raw off the streets of Davenport (Iowa) and Larry took care of me…terima kasih. If it wasn’t for the people at the Olympic Center, I don’t know where I’d be today.

DANNY RIOS: “Di 1992, I lost in the semifinals of the US Championships. Jadi, I had to win the Golden Gloves to go to the Olympics. At the Trials I won my first fight and lost my second. I later turned pro. I’m working security and helping to train fighters at a local gym. I hope to have my own gym. I’m glad to see you all after all these years.

SKIPPER KELP: “I’m in Vegas. I moved here when I was in the amateurs. The best thing was the camaraderie. We grew up together. Bersama Sama, we came of age as teenagers and I met some of my best friends for life. We were all at the elite level, the best versus the best, and eventually we fought each other. I met a lot of guys in 1989 di Rusia. “I own Fight Capital Gym in Las Vegas. When you go to Vegas, call me and come to my gym. We have a brotherhood for life. Amateur boxing brings people together. To reconnect like this is awesome.

DANELL NICHOLSON:My most memorable moment was representing USA Boxing at the 1992 Olimpiade, because I became an Olympian and met all these great athletes. Meeting you is really my most memorable. You can’t beat boxing!”

RONALD SIMMS:I was probably on the amateur team longer than anybody. I stayed on so long that I have a lot of memories. I was part of the 1988, 1992 dan 1996 Olympic teams. I saw a lot of talent come through. I started in 1995; this sport is addictive and I’m still involved in amateur boxing. We still have the most talented kids in amateur boxing. “My dream was to make the Olympic Team and I still haven’t made it. My goal was to be No. 1 and I was in 1995. Kemudian, I wanted to quit, but my coach said it wasn’t the time. The lessons I learned from you guys and sharing with kids is what it’s all about. I’m in India working as the chief coach, doing what I love.

PAUL VADEM:I’m glad to see everyone. I have so many memories, the most memorable is seeing you, my boxing brothers. We trained together to make names for ourselves. We will always have this to go back on. I get emotional. It didn’t matter where you came from, your economical values, and we competed against each other. But at the end of the day we respected each other. “I’m a speaker and author today. What I had learned in boxing is why I’m able to do what I do. Terima kasih. This is beautiful. I’m thankful to see you all.

JAMES JOHNSON:It’s amazing to see some of these faces, It’s great to see you, orang! I remember the Olympic Festival. Randall Crippen. He was talkative……I gave him a diploma at the end of the match. “I broke my hand in competition and they wouldn’t let me fight. I did and I drew a hometown kid in (Worcester) Massachusetts, Bobby Harris, dan memenangkan. With one hand, I lost in the final. It’s good to see you guys. I’m living in Flint, Michigan. I went on to get my college career and today I’m a network engineer.

DEAN FLETCHER:I was an amateur a long time. I have many memories, but one is the years I was on the Board of Directors as an athlete representative. Kids today, the reason you can’t fight twice a day is me. “The traveling, I can’t let that go. When things aren’t going well, I think of my amateur days. Nothing but love for you guys.

LARRY NICHOLSON:My most memorable things is being the 1993 Boxer of the Year. I accomplished a lot. I won silver at the 1993 dan 1994 Kejuaraan Dunia. Should have been gold. You were great fighters and role models. I had an opportunity to go to collegeNorth Michigan Universityand I have a degree. “I’m still involved in boxing today as head coach of the Michigan Golden Gloves. I’m very happy where I am right now. I didn’t go pro because I love amateur boxing, the discipline and life. I worked with three Olympic teams. We’ve done well as frat brothers.

MARK LANTON:It’s a pleasure to see everybody like this. My most memorable moment was winning the Western Trials. I was an Army soldier when I was an amateur fighter. In Iraq, kadang-kadang, Frank Vassar kept in touch with me. I’m retired now from the military. I worked at the VA as a federal police officer. I’m totally retired. I coach kids at a local gym and I’m living the life in Orlando.

FRANK VASSAR:Winning the US Olympic Sports Festival and National Golden Gloves in 1999 was my most memorable. I was in the Army, the National Guards, when I was boxing. I got commissioned in the Air Force. I did three combat tours and was injured. Crazy stuff. I’m glad I made it back. I always enjoyed going to tournaments and seeing you guys. I love all you guys.

RICHARD BONDS: Di 1989, I remember fighting Jeremy Williams. He was the best and that put me on the map. The next four years I was going to Colorado and that was the best. I was a college student and got a criminal justice degree at the University of Memphis. I met Echols at dual. We’d come together three or four times a year, maybe more and when you saw somebody it was like yesterday. “Di 1992, I wanted to make the Olympic team. I lost my first fight in Worcester and didn’t make it to the Olympics. There were only 12 weight classes and I was one of those guys. You are my frat brothers.

2020 USA Boxing Kejuaraan Nasional Itu 2020 USA Boxing National Championships will be held December 5-12 di Pusat Konvensi Shreveport di Shreveport, Louisiana.

DI RING DENGAN HECTOR "MACHO" CAMACHO: ORANG MASA LALU BERBAGI CERITA DAN WAWASAN MEREKA TENTANG JUARA DUNIA LEGENDARIS

JANTAN: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY Tayang Perdana Jumat, Bulan Desember 4 di 9 PM ET/PT pada SHOWTIME ®

Sekelompok orang di sekitar satu sama lain

NEW YORK – November 24, 2020 – Lawan masa lalu dari ikon tinju legendaris Hector “Macho” Camacho, termasuk "Gula" Ray Leonard, Felix “Tito” Trinidad dan pelatih Hall of Fame Freddie Roach, berbagi pengalaman langsung mereka dengan mantan juara dunia dan mengingat gaya flamboyan khasnya sebelum pertandingan JANTAN: CERITA HECTOR CAMACHO pemutaran perdana film dokumenter Jumat, Bulan Desember 4 di 9 p.m. ET / PT pada SHOWTIME.

JANTAN: CERITA HECTOR CAMACHO adalah pandangan yang teguh pada kehidupan yang luar biasa, karir bertingkat dan pembunuhan yang belum terpecahkan dari salah satu pemain sandiwara tinju terbesar. Melalui wawancara yang langka dan terbuka dengan ibunya, Maria Matthias, saudara perempuan, istri Amy dan putranya Hector Jr., film dokumenter ini juga menggali pikiran dan jiwa petarung legendaris yang bermasalah, pertempurannya dengan kecanduan dan gejolak batin yang akhirnya menyebabkan kematiannya – pembunuhan ganda misterius di pinggir jalan pada November 2012. Film disutradarai oleh dua kali Emmy® Pemenang penghargaan Eric Drath. Drath dan Danielle Naassana, keduanya dari Hiburan Bintang Langsung, menjabat sebagai produser dan enam belas kali pemenang Penghargaan Emmy Aaron Cohen menjabat sebagai penulis dan produser konsultan.

Selain Leonard, Trinidad dan Roach, melewati juara dunia Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza dan lebih banyak lagi mengenang tentang naik ke ring melawan Hector "Macho" Camacho yang mencolok dan terampil:

SUGAR RAY LEONARD – Maret 1, 1997; Dalam pertarungan karir terakhir Ray Leonard, Camacho dimenangkan oleh TKO ronde kelima: “Kami berdua secara alami melewati masa jaya kami, tapi saya hanya merasa bahwa saya adalah pria yang lebih besar. saya lebih pintar, kuat, semua hal itu, tapi pertama kali dia melempar pukulan, itu seperti, pow! Dan aku berkata, 'Wow, itu menyakitkan.' Saya mencoba yang terbaik yang saya bisa untuk pergi jauh. Saat dia dalam kondisi terbaiknya, dia adalah sesuatu yang indah.”

FELIX "TITO" TRINIDAD - Bulan Januari 29, 1994; Gelar Kelas Welter IBF: “Saya pertama kali bertemu Macho Camacho ketika saya 12 tahun di acara arena dalam ruangan di Puerto Rico. Dia sudah menjadi juara dunia. Saya kagum. Camacho berbicara dengan semua orang dan menjadi dirinya sendiri. Dia makan 12 empanada sekaligus hanya untuk menjadi lucu.

“Ketika aku harus melawannya, itu adalah pertahanan gelar ketiga saya. Tadi saya 21 dan dia adalah 10 tahun lebih tua dari saya. Dia memiliki begitu banyak pengalaman dan memainkan begitu banyak permainan pikiran. Pada konferensi pers terakhir, dia duduk di ujung meja – menyamping, agak mengabaikan pers – dan menatapku. Ketika tiba waktunya untuk berbicara, dia hanya berbicara sampah. Dia adalah pemain sandiwara. Saat kami masuk ring di Las Vegas, seperti setiap petarung di pertarungan persimpangan jalan, Saya sedikit gugup. Dia adalah petarung yang hebat. Dia sangat berpengalaman dan teknis. Dia sedikit gila tapi dia orang yang baik. Rendah hati.

“Setelah pertarungan, dia datang dengan dagunya ke bawah dan memberi selamat padaku. Dia seperti orang yang berbeda – dia sangat ramah dan tenang. 'Itu pertarungan yang bagus,' dia bilang. 'Kamu akan menjadi juara yang hebat. Teruslah mendaki.’ Itu adalah pengalaman yang luar biasa bagi saya. Setelah pertarungan itu, Saya merasa ada sesuatu yang berubah dalam diri saya sebagai seorang petarung. Saya telah berbagi cincin dengan Macho Camacho. Kamu tidak pernah sama setelah itu. Dia membantu saya menjadi petarung yang lebih baik. Dia adalah orang Puerto Rico pertama yang pernah saya hadapi. Satu-satunya petarung yang memotongku. Saya mendapatkan kemenangan saya melawannya pada malam yang sama [Frankie] Randall memberi Julio Cesar Chavez kekalahan pertamanya. Itu adalah malam yang bersejarah.”

FREDDIE ROACH – Desember 18, 1985; Camacho memenangkan pertarungan super ringan melalui keputusan bulat untuk meningkatkan ke 28-0: “Hector Camacho adalah petinju terbaik yang pernah saya lawan. Kecepatannya tidak bisa dipercaya. Pada satu titik selama pertarungan, kami berada dalam posisi clinch dan saya menggigit bahunya. Dia melangkah mundur, tersenyum, dan memberitahuku, 'Itu tidak akan berhasil.’ Dia benar. Saya mengalami banyak masalah dalam menangani kecepatannya. Anda tidak bisa mempersiapkannya – dan saya memiliki kamp pelatihan yang sangat bagus. Saya benar-benar siap untuk pertarungan itu. Saya pikir saya memenangkan satu ronde dan itu hanya karena saya menginjak kakinya dan terjatuh. Setelah pertarungan, kami bertemu satu sama lain di lobi hotel kami dan dia mengajakku makan malam di restoran hotel. Kami berbicara dan tertawa sepanjang makan malam. Dia adalah pria yang hebat.”

RAY MANCINI – Maret 6, 1989; Camacho memenangkan keputusan split untuk gelar kelas welter WBO Junior yang kosong: “Hector memiliki kemampuan luar biasa untuk menghindari pukulan. Dia memiliki kecepatan tangan yang sangat baik, gerakan dan refleks. Dia masuk ring dengan semua orang. Dan dia lucu sekali. Pertama, Saya tidak tahan dengannya. Tapi begitu kita pensiun, kami mengubur kapak dan setiap kali kami bertemu, itu pelukan dan tawa. Dia membuat semua orang tertawa. Dia adalah jiwa yang baik. Saya patah hati ketika mendengar berita tentang pembunuhannya. Dalam buku saya, ketika Anda berbicara tentang orang-orang hebat sepanjang masa, dia berada di lima besar untuk petarung Puerto Rico dan teratas 20 untuk pejuang Latin.”                 

GREGHAUGEN - Februari 23, dan mungkin 18, 1991; Kalah karir pertama Camacho dan pertandingan ulang untuk WBO Jr. Kejuaraan Dunia Kelas Welter: “Camacho sedang mencari pertarungan tune-up untuk pertarungan besar yang tak terkalahkan dengan Julio Cesar Chavez jadi begitulah cara saya bertarung.. Tapi saya telah mempelajari pertarungannya dan saya tahu Hector hanya suka bertarung sebentar, menit dan setengah dari setiap putaran. Rencana saya untuk bertarung adalah membuatnya bertarung tiga menit setiap ronde. Saya memukulnya dengan tembakan tubuh dan dia meringis. Dan ditambah, Saya berbicara dengannya sepanjang pertarungan, jadi dia frustasi. Jadi kita sampai ke 12th putaran dan dia akhirnya pengisap meninju saya sebelum awal ronde karena saya menolak untuk menyentuh sarung tangan, dan mereka akhirnya mengambil satu poin darinya yang memenangkan pertarungan saya. (Dalam pertandingan ulang) dia sangat yakin dia kalah dalam pertarungan, dia benar-benar meninggalkan ring setelah pertarungan. Promotor Dan Duva harus menariknya keluar dari ruang ganti dan pada dasarnya membujuknya untuk kembali ke ring untuk mendengar keputusan tersebut.. Dia harus memenangkan pertarungan itu karena itu akan membuatnya sejajar dengan Chavez. Saya pikir saya mengalahkannya lebih banyak di pertarungan kedua daripada pertarungan pertama. ”

VINNY KESABARAN - Februari 3, 1990; Camacho memenangkan keputusan mutlak untuk gelar kelas welter WBO Junior: “Saya pikir saya akan menghancurkannya. Saya pikir saya akan melewatinya. Tapi dia jauh lebih kuat dan lebih cepat dari yang kupercaya. Dan aku berpikir, 'Ya Tuhan, Saya akan menghadapi malam yang panjang.’ Dia bersiap-siap untuk saya tidak seperti pertarungan lainnya. Dia sangat bersemangat dan sangat siap. Dia melepaskan semua obat. Dia tidak minum. Dia bangun sangat tinggi dan setelah dia mengalahkanku, dia tidak pernah sama lagi. Hector adalah karakter seperti itu. Dia melampaui saya dalam kapasitas itu. Dia adalah pria liar dan dia liar sepanjang hidupnya.”

PJ GOOSSEN – Juni 18, 1999; Camacho memenangkan keputusan bulat pada usia 37 untuk meningkatkan rekornya menjadi 68-4-1: “Itu adalah malam yang buruk bagiku. Saya memiliki tiga tulang rusuk yang patah, dan tidak ada yang benar-benar mengetahuinya. Jadi, Aku hampir tidak bisa bernapas, apalagi berjuang, tapi itulah yang harus Anda lakukan dalam tinju kadang-kadang. Saat kami bersiap-siap untuk bertarung, ruang ganti miliknya tepat di sebelah kamarku dan mereka memiliki pintu yang memisahkan kami. Aku bisa mendengarnya sebelum pertarungan berteriak, 'Waktu macho!' 'Waktu macho!' Dan dia menabrak dinding. Dan dia terus melakukan itu, berteriak lebih keras dan lebih keras. Dengan Baik, dia memukul pintu dengan sangat keras hingga menerobos dan dia jatuh ke ruang gantiku. Jadi, dia bangkit dan berjalan kembali melalui lubang yang lain dan berkata, 'Maaf tentang itu.' Itu sebenarnya sangat lucu dan saya dan ayah serta saudara laki-laki saya tertawa. Untuk kembali dan meminta maaf ketika dia seharusnya bersemangat untuk melawanku. Saya akan menandainya sebagai salah satu pemain kidal terbaik yang pernah ada, terutama ketika dia berada di kelas bulu dan ringan.”
