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® w sobotę, Grudzień 12

NEW YORK – Grudzień 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, Grudzień 12 w 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,- powiedział 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,- powiedział 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,- powiedział 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, Jestem gotowy na wszystko, cokolwiek wam przynosi,- powiedział 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,- powiedział 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, chociaż, and ready to put on a show on December 12.”

“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® w sobotę, Grudzień 12

NEW YORK – Grudzień 7, 2020 – Niepokonany rośnie perspektywa 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, Grudzień 12 w 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,- powiedział 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,- powiedział 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,- powiedział 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,- powiedział 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.

Zostaw komentarz
BOSTON (Grudzień 7, 2020) – Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker has signed Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. do ekskluzywnego kontraktu menedżerskiego.

Anderson, związkowy pracownik Sheetmetal w lokalnym 17, był utytułowanym amatorem, który zdobył złoty medal na 2016 Turniej Rocky Marciano, a także dwukrotnie w Turnieju Nowej Anglii 2018-2019, i dwukrotnie wygrał Central Division w turnieju Golden Gloves Nowej Anglii oraz dwukrotnie wicemistrzostwo w ciągu swoich czterech lat (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.

Anderson, chociaż, 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), gdzie 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.”

W wieku 28, Anderson has decided to turn pro, który, oczywiście, 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 lub 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,” doszedł do wniosku,. “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 półśredniej Gabriel Duluc (15-3, 4 KO), Troy, NY super lekki Ray Jay “Niszczyciel” Bermudez (10-0, KO), Toronto, Kanada półśredniej Jeff “The Trouble 1” Tabrizi (8-3, 7 KO), West Haven, CT superpółśredniej wagi Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (16-4-2, 5 KO), Super piórkowej Jesus Vasquez, Jr. (6-0, 2 KO), Super średniej “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (4-0, 2 KO), Patenty USA. Armia super koguciej Daniel Bailey, Jr., and lightweight Leonel de los Santos, a 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian

WBO #7 I IBF #8 BANTAMWEIGHT NIKOLAI POTAPOV WRACA W AKCJI W WILGOCIĄGU PRZECIWKO Ukraińskiemu OLEKSANDROWI HRYSCZUKOWI

Zostaw komentarz
UMIEJĘTNY ROSYJSKI, KTÓRY CHCE ZOSTAĆ W LINII NA KOLEJNE WYZWANIE MISTRZOSTW Z IMPONUJĄCYM ZWYCIĘSTWEM

Potapov (21-2-1, 11 KO), Podolska, Rosja, obecnie mieszka na Brooklynie, zmierzy się z Hryszczukiem (16-2-1, 6 KO) z Bilytske, Ukraina, w ramach gigantycznej imprezy 19-walk prezentowanej przez Shamo Boxing.

FED UP DAMSKIE BOKSERKI WYMAGAJĄ UCZCIWOŚCI I PLATFORMY

Zostaw komentarz
Czołowe zawodniczki boksu nie mają “dom”, brak sieci, która mogłaby zaprezentować swój talent

DO NATYCHMIASTOWEJ PUBLIKACJI

NEW YORK — Kobiety nadal dążą do równości w różnych branżach, boks i jego partnerzy medialni pozostają w przeszłości, pozbawiając kobiety praw wyborczych z uczciwej okazji do zaprezentowania swoich umiejętności i zarabiania na życie. W tym samym roku, w którym Ameryka wybrała swojego pierwszego wiceprezydenta żeńskiego, kobieta koloru, elitarne zawodniczki zajmujące czołowe miejsca w światowych rankingach nie mają regularnych platform telewizyjnych ani seriali bokserskich. Nigdzie to nieuczciwe pole gry nie jest bardziej widoczne niż w Stanach Zjednoczonych i Ameryce Północnej.

Przytłaczająca większość czołowych kobiet w boksie nie walczyła 2020, lub nie walczyli od stycznia. Pandemia uderzyła kobiety w boks nawet mocniej niż mężczyzn. Obraz nie był różowy przed Covid-19 i, bez działania, nie ma powodu, aby wierzyć, że to się poprawi.

Ma to wpływ na wszystkie kobiety w amerykańskim boksie, z gwiazd Claressa Shields i Amandy Serrano, do panujących mistrzów świata, do zawodników sześciorundowych i czterorundowych. Poza garstką sportowców, większość bokserek musi pracować w pełnym lub niepełnym wymiarze godzin, aby związać koniec z końcem.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight i inni szukali okazji w MMA, aby uzupełnić swoje dochody i uniknąć bezczynności. Claressa Shields, najbardziej uznana kobieta w historii amerykańskich amatorów, Dwukrotny złoty medalista olimpijski, i sprawdzona atrakcja, jest obecnie bez platformy i właśnie ogłosił wieloletni kontrakt z Professional Fighters League.

Zunifikowany mistrz z Flint, Michigan, powiedział o tym The Athletic, “To (boks) seksistowski sport. To seksistowskie z możliwościami, które nam dajemy. To seksistowskie z czasem w telewizji. To seksistowskie, jeśli chodzi o to, ile nam płacą. Wszystkie trzy. Gwiazda boksu może spróbować swoich sił w MMA. Nie powinni być do tego zmuszani z powodu braku możliwości.”

“Te kobiety konsekwentnie zapewniają świetne walki i solidną oglądalność,” powiedział Lou DiBella, który promuje więcej kobiet niż jakikolwiek inny podmiot promocyjny w USA. “Posadzili ludzi na miejscach, a oglądalność ich wydarzeń często rywalizuje z mężczyznami. To nie są zawodnicy na poziomie klubowym. Są elitarnymi mistrzami świata i, bez telewizji, bez zwykłej platformy, nie mogą zabezpieczyć się finansowo ani zbudować jakiejkolwiek bazy fanów. To niezwykłe, że boks kobiet powiększa pulę talentów i podnosi swoją rangę, biorąc pod uwagę nieliczne miejsca na telewizję i transmisje strumieniowe, które są zarezerwowane dla kobiet-wojowników. Jest to świadectwo odporności i poświęcenia zawodniczek boksu, którzy zasługują na coś lepszego.”

Lokalni promotorzy, którzy zajmują się hodowaniem wojowników i obsadzaniem miejsc, mogą oferować spoty na swoich kartach i ekspozycję regionalną, ale torebki są bardzo ograniczone bez dochodów z telewizji. Wojowniczki’ torebki są często ograniczone do odsetka biletów, które sprzedają z ręki.

Na najwyższych poziomach, kobiety są pomijane. Heather Hardy, wojownik DiBella Entertainment, dostrzegł różnicę w rozwoju bokserów obu płci. “Na konferencjach prasowych, Siadam na miejscu na samym końcu, z resztą walk undercard,” Said Hardy. “Patrzę, jak chłopcy odchodzą od siedzenia obok mnie na końcu stołu, aby przejść do głównej karty, następnie co-main, a potem główne wydarzenie, ale moje siedzenie nigdy się nie poruszyło. Nieważne, ile mam prasy, bez względu na to, ile walk wygrałem, Nigdy się nie ruszałem. Systemowy seksizm nie pozwalał mi się ruszać.”

“To nie jest tak, że jesteśmy oddzielną organizacją, taką jak WNBA. Mamy tylko symboliczne możliwości, walcząc na tych samych kartach, często w znacznie bardziej konkurencyjnych walkach niż mężczyźni, i nadal nie są traktowani sprawiedliwie,” Said Hardy. “Nie mamy własnego miejsca ani profesjonalnego domu.”

“To sprowadza się do aspirujących bokserek i programów amatorskich,” DiBella kontynuował. “Młode kobiety w boksie muszą widzieć inne kobiety na dużej scenie. Muszą zobaczyć kobiety, które wyglądają jak one w telewizji i na platformach streamingowych. Muszą to wiedzieć, jeśli chcą rozpocząć karierę bokserską, będzie wystarczająco dużo okazji, by zobaczyć, jak demonstrują ich talenty, za godziwą płacę. Jeśli kobiety są w stanie stać się głównym bohaterem wydarzenia bokserskiego, lub w stanie sprzedać znaczny procent żywej bramy, nie powinno się im płacić od dziesięciu do dwudziestu procent tego, co płacą podobnie usytuowani mężczyźni. Nie wysyłamy tutaj właściwej wiadomości, i nie ma ku temu dobrego powodu w XXI wieku.”

Pula talentów dostępnych dla kobiet na stanowiskach zawodowych jest mniejsza, ale wymusza najlepsze pojedynki. Zmusza kobiety do walki poza ich klasami wagowymi.

“Jessica McCaskill właśnie zdobyła jednolite tytuły światowe, i chce ze mną walczyć w 147,” - powiedziała Amanda Serrano, mistrz świata w siedmiu ligach. “Zawołała mnie o 147! To trochę smutne. Dobrze dla nas, jeśli ma to sens, ale prawda jest taka, wzywają mistrzów na 126. To cztery różne kategorie wagowe do podniesienia. Mężczyźni nie muszą tego robić! Kobiety są nieustannie zmuszane do poświęcania się tylko po to, by mieć szansę.”

Pula talentów nie wzrośnie, jeśli młodsze pokolenia nie zainspirują się kobietami w telewizji i transmisji strumieniowej – kobiety, które równie dobrze potrafią walczyć, i często lepiej niż, mężczyzn, którzy są teraz w telewizji.

Nadszedł czas, aby kobiety bokserki zażądały uczciwości i stabilności, i zależy to od kierownictwa sieci, media, oraz tych, którzy kontrolują dostęp do platform medialnych, przestać żyć przeszłością.

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

Zostaw komentarz
Live Dec. 18th on pay-per-view from Galveston, Teksas

GALVESTON, Teksas (Listopad 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 KO) challenges North American Boxing Federation (NABF) półciężkiejAlfonso “El Tigre” Lopez (32-3, 25 KO), live on pay per view from Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Teksas.

“Battle of Rio Grande” will be available for live viewing on digital, cable and satellite, zaczynając od 8 p.m. I / 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, wszystkie główne aplikacje i strony internetowe OTT (www.FITE.tv), and Integrated Sports Media will distribute throughout North America via DirecTV, iN Demand, and DISH in the United States, 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, odpowiednio, 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) mistrzArthur Abraham (44-4).  The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, Meksyk, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), iRoamer 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, w pierścieniu, 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, TAKIE JAK) 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 miesiące temu, 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, ogólnie, 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. Więcej, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, Jak na przykładDyah Davis iRubin Williams, i 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 zmierzy weteranaChauncy “Hillyard Hammer” Welliver (57-13-5, 23 KO), the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas champion, in the 10-round co-featured event.

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

Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Listopad 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 protokół. They gleefully reminisced, shared personal updates from the past 22 lat, 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. Mamy 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 has been a blast!”

“I’m not much of a boxer, but I’m happy to be part of this boxing program,” skomentował Barry Siff, USA Boxing volunteer marketing advisor. “I grew up in Detroit during the 1980’s and hung out at Kronk (Siłownia). I’m happy to be on this call. We all need to help Mike and the team going forward. Don’t wait until 2028 w 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.”

FIGHTERS’ CYTATY(Robert Allen i 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 sekund. 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. W ’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. W 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 guy, Jeremy Williams, to make the Olympic team. Ci, 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. I learned a lot. 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…dziękuję. If it wasn’t for the people at the Olympic Center, I don’t know where I’d be today.”

DANNY RIOS: “W 1992, I lost in the semifinals of the US Championships. Tak, 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. Razem, 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 w Rosji. “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 Igrzyska Olimpijskie, 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 i 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. Następnie, 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. Dzięki. 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, faceci! 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, i wygrał. 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 Bokser Roku. I accomplished a lot. I won silver at the 1993 i 1994 Mistrzostwa Świata. Should have been gold. You were great fighters and role models. I had an opportunity to go to college – North Michigan University – and 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, czasami, 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: W 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. “W 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 Mistrzostwa The 2020 USA Boxing National Championships will be held December 5-12 w Shreveport Convention Center w Shreveport, Luizjana.

W RINGU Z HEKTOREM „MACHO” CAMACHO: WCZEŚNIEJSZE PRZECIWNIKI DZIELĄ SIĘ SWOIMI HISTORIAMI I WIADOMOŚCIAMI O LEGENDARNYM MISTRZOSTWIE ŚWIATA

Zostaw komentarz

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY Premiera w piątek, Grudzień 4 w 9 PM ET / PT w SHOWTIME ®

Grupa ludzi wokół siebie Opis wygenerowany automatycznie
Dzięki uprzejmości SHOWTIME

NOWY JORK - listopad 24, 2020 - Byli przeciwnicy legendarnej ikony boksu Hectora „Macho” Camacho, w tym „Sugar” Ray Leonard, Felix „Tito” Trinidad i trener Hall of Fame Freddie Roach, share their first-hand experiences with the former world champion and recall his trademark flamboyant style in advance of the MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY documentary premiere Friday, Grudzień 4 w 9 p.m. ET / PT na SHOWTIME.

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY is an unflinching look at the remarkable life, storied career and unsolved murder of one of boxing’s greatest showmen. Through rare and revealing interviews with his mother, Maria Matias, sisters, wife Amy and son Hector Jr., the documentary also delves into the legendary fighter’s troubled mind and spirit, his battle with addiction and the inner turmoil that ultimately led to his demise – a mysterious double homicide on a roadside in November 2012. The film isdirected by two-time Emmy® Award winner Eric Drath. Drath and Danielle Naassana, both of Live Star Entertainment, served as producers and sixteen-time Emmy Award winner Aaron Cohen served as writer and consulting producer.

In addition to Leonard, Trinidad and Roach, past world champions Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza and more reminisce about climbing into the ring against the flashy and skilled Hector “Macho” Camacho:

SUGAR RAY LEONARD – March 1, 1997; In Ray Leonard’s final career fight, Camacho won by fifth-round TKO: “We were both naturally past our prime, but I just felt that I was a bigger man. I was smarter, silniejszy, all those things, but the first time he threw a punch, to było jak, Pow! And I said, ‘Wow, that hurt.’ I tried the best I could to just go the distance. When he was at his best, he was a thing of beauty.”

FELIX “TITO” TRINIDAD - Styczeń 29, 1994; IBF Welterweight Title: „Po raz pierwszy spotkałem Macho Camacho, kiedy byłem 12 lat na imprezie halowej w Puerto Rico. Był już mistrzem świata. Byłem pod wrażeniem. Camacho rozmawiał ze wszystkimi i był sobą. On zjadł 12 empanadas na raz tylko po to, by być zabawnym.

„Kiedy muszę z nim walczyć, to była moja trzecia obrona tytułu. Byłem 21 i był 10 lata starszy ode mnie. Miał tak duże doświadczenie i grał w wiele gier umysłowych. Na ostatniej konferencji prasowej, usiadł na samym końcu stołu - bokiem, jakby ignorowanie prasy - i wpatrywanie się we mnie. Kiedy nadszedł jego czas na rozmowę, po prostu mówił bzdury. Był takim showmanem. Kiedy dotarliśmy na ring w Las Vegas, jak każdy wojownik na rozdrożu, Byłem trochę zdenerwowany. Był takim wielkim wojownikiem. Był tak doświadczony i techniczny. He was a little crazy but was such a good person. Pokorny.

“After the fight, he came over with his chin down and congratulated me. He was like a different person – he was so friendly and calm. ‘It was a good fight,’ he told me. ‘You are going to be a great champion. Keep on climbing.’ It was a great experience for me. After that fight, I felt something had changed in me as a fighter. I had shared a ring with Macho Camacho. You are never the same after that. He helped me be a better fighter. He was the first Puerto Rican I ever faced. The only fighter that cut me. I got my win against him the same night [Frankie] Randall handed Julio Cesar Chavez his first defeat. It was a historic night.”

FREDDIE ROACH – December 18, 1985; Camacho wygrał super lekki pojedynek jednogłośną decyzją o awansie do 28-0: “Hector Camacho był najlepszym bokserem, z jakim kiedykolwiek walczyłem. Jego prędkość była niewiarygodna. W pewnym momencie podczas walki, byliśmy w klinczu i ugryzłem go w ramię. Cofnął się, uśmiechnął się, i powiedział mi, „To nie zadziała.’ On miał rację. Miałem tyle problemów z jego szybkością. Po prostu nie mogłeś się na to przygotować – i miałem naprawdę dobry obóz treningowy. Byłem naprawdę gotowy do tej walki. Myślę, że wygrałem jedną rundę i to tylko dlatego, że nadepnąłem mu na nogę i przewróciłem się. Po walce, wpadliśmy na siebie w hotelowym lobby i zabrał mnie na kolację do hotelowej restauracji. Rozmawialiśmy i śmialiśmy się przez całą kolację. Był świetnym facetem."

RAY MANCINI - marzec 6, 1989; Camacho won a split decision for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight title: “Hector had an uncanny ability to avoid punches. He had excellent hand speed, movement and reflexes. He got in the ring with everybody. And he was funny as hell. Najpierw, I couldn’t stand him. But once we were retired, we buried the hatchet and every time we’d see each other, it was hugs and laughs. He made everyone laugh. He was a good soul. I was heartbroken when I heard the news about his murder. In my book, when you talk about all-time greats, he is in the top five for Puerto Rican fighters and top 20 for Latino fighters.”                 

GREGHAUGEN - Luty 23, i może 18, 1991; Camacho’s first career loss and the rematch for WBO Jr. Welterweight World Championship: „Camacho szukał optymalnej walki na wielką bitwę niepokonanych z Julio Cesarem Chavezem, więc w ten sposób dostałem walkę. Ale studiowałem jego walki i wiedziałem, że Hector lubi walczyć tylko minutę, półtorej minuty każdej rundy. Moim planem przystąpienia do walki było zmusić go do walki przez trzy minuty każdej rundy. Uderzałem go strzałami w ciało, a on się skrzywił. I plus, Rozmawiałem z nim przez całą walkę, więc był sfrustrowany. Więc dochodzimy do 12th i kończy się tym, że frajer uderza mnie przed rozpoczęciem rundy, ponieważ odmówiłem dotknięcia rękawiczek, i ostatecznie odbierają mu punkt, który wygrał moją walkę. (W rewanżu) był tak pewien, że przegrał walkę, faktycznie opuścił ring po walce. Promotor Dan Duva musiał go wyciągnąć z szatni i po prostu namówić go do powrotu na ring, aby usłyszeć decyzję. Musiał wygrać tę walkę, ponieważ to zrównało go z Chavezem. Myślałem, że pokonałem go bardziej w drugiej walce niż w pierwszej ”.

VINNY PATIENCE - luty 3, 1990; Camacho wygrał jednogłośną decyzję o tytuł WBO Junior Welterweight: “Myślałem, że go zniszczę. Myślałem, że przejdę przez niego. Ale był dużo silniejszy i szybszy, niż sądziłem. I myślałem, 'O Boże, Czekam na długą noc. ”Przygotował się na mnie jak żadna inna walka. Był tak pobudzony i gotowy. Zrzucił wszystkie narkotyki. Nie pił. Wstał tak wysoko i po tym, jak mnie pokonał, już nigdy nie był taki sam. Hector był taką postacią. Pod tym względem mnie przewyższa. Był dzikim facetem i był szalony przez całe życie ”.

PJ GOOSSEN - czerwiec 18, 1999; Camacho wygrał jednogłośną decyzję w wieku 37 poprawić swój rekord 68-4-1: „To była dla mnie zła noc. Miałem złamane trzy żebra, i nikt tak naprawdę o tym nie wiedział. Tak, Ledwo mogłem oddychać, nie mówiąc już o walce, ale to jest to, co trzeba czasem robić w boksie. Gdy szykowaliśmy się do walki, jego garderoba znajdowała się tuż obok mnie i dzieliły nas te drzwi. Słyszałem go krzyczącego przed walką, „Czas macho!”„ Czas macho!„I uderza w ścianę. I nadal to robi, krzycząc coraz głośniej. Dobrze, he hit the door so hard it busted through and he fell into my dressing room. Tak, he gets up and walks back in around through the other opening and says, ‘Sorry about that.’ It was actually pretty funny and me and my dad and brother were laughing. To come back in and apologize when he’s supposed to be getting hyped up to fight me. I would mark him down as one of the best lefthanders there ever was, especially when he was at featherweight and lightweight.”
