CHRIS COLBERT TEM QUE "MOSTRAR A TODOS PORQUE SOU UM DOS MELHORES 130 POUNDERS DO MUNDO" CONTRA JAIME ARBOLEDA

Deixe um comentário
O invencível campeão provisório WBA Super Featherweight Colbert luta contra Arboleda no Main Event ao vivo no SHOWTIME® neste sábado, Dezembro 12

NOVA IORQUE – Dezembro 8, 2020 – Invicto campeão interino WBA Super Featherweight Chris “Primetime” Colbert tentará fazer uma declaração em seu primeiro evento principal transmitido pela televisão nacional, enquanto enfrenta Jaime Arboleda ao vivo no SHOWTIME neste sábado, Dezembro 12 em 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT em um evento apresentado pelos Premier Boxing Champions da Mohegan Sun Arena em Uncasville, Conn.

“Eu sempre soube que iria chegar aqui,”Disse Colbert. “É tudo plano de Deus. Este será apenas mais um dia para mim e vou mostrar a todos porque sou um dos melhores lutadores de 130 libras do mundo. ”

O Colbert de 24 anos subiu no ranking da categoria de peso de 130 libras e acredita que uma vitória na noite de sábado levará a maiores oportunidades na divisão lotada.

“Esta é uma das divisões mais empilhadas do boxe e adoro competir nela,”Disse Colbert. “É ótimo ser notado em uma divisão que tem tanto talento, e espero que isso me leve a conseguir as grandes lutas de que preciso. Eu não sinto que há um certo lutador que estou almejando, mas Gervonta Davis, Leo Santa Cruz e Jamel Herring seriam todos ótimas lutas para mim. Vencê-los me ajudaria a me tornar 'o cara' na divisão. ”

A ascensão de Colbert continuou em sua última luta, como ele marcou um 10th-round knockdown contra o ex-campeão Jezreel Corrales em seu caminho para uma vitória por decisão, mostrando uma impressionante gama de habilidades contra um lutador determinado a desacelerar a ação por meio de segurar e outros truques veteranos.

“Contra Corrales aprendi a não ter pressa,”Disse Colbert. “Não é um sprint, é uma maratona. Eu não posso simplesmente ir correndo lá e esperar que todos sejam nocauteados. Eu tive que levar meu tempo, fazer o que faço de melhor e seguir meu plano de jogo. ”

No Arboleda de 26 anos, Colbert será apresentado a outro contendor crescente de 130 libras com seus próprios olhos postos em emergir entre a elite na divisão. Arboleda venceu cinco de suas últimas seis lutas por paralisação e, mais recentemente, largou Jayson Velez em seu caminho para uma vitória por decisão em fevereiro no SHOWTIME.

“Venha dezembro 12, Eu estou pronto para o que ele traz,”Disse Colbert. “Espero que ele exerça pressão e‘ tente ’me cansar, porque essa é a única chance que ele tem. Ele não pode me enviar. Isso não está acontecendo. Mas adoro bater por dentro e estou pronto para o que ele fizer. Espero que ele não corra ou me conquiste porque adoraria nocauteá-lo e tirá-lo de lá mais cedo. ”

Colbert, natural do Brooklyn, continuou a trabalhar com seu técnico de longa data Aureliano Sosa em sua cidade natal durante as dificuldades da pandemia. Essas dificuldades levaram Colbert a lutar com pesos médios maiores e super médios no acampamento, que Colbert acredita que poderia ajudá-lo com o poder que Arboleda trará para a luta.

“O acampamento de treinamento está indo muito bem na maior parte,”Disse Colbert. “Tem sido um pouco difícil encontrar parceiros de treino. Mas porque tem sido difícil encontrar lutadores com meu peso, eu tenho realmente lutado com 147 e lutadores de 154 libras. Eu realmente amo isso porque me prepara melhor, e quem pode dizer que Arboleda não terá um poder como eles? Estou com peso agora, embora, e pronto para dar um show no dia 12 de dezembro. ”

CITAÇÕES DO CAMPO DE TREINAMENTO DE RICHARDSON HITCHINS & FOTOS

Deixe um comentário
“Eu realmente acredito que sou o melhor lutador em ascensão no jogo”



Super leve e imbatível em ascensão em perspectiva Hitchins Battles ex-campeão Argenis Méndez no evento co-principal ao vivo no SHOWTIME® neste sábado, Dezembro 12

Clique AQUI para fotos das promoções Mayweather

NOVA IORQUE – Dezembro 7, 2020 – Perspectiva de ascensão imbatível Richardson Hitchins compartilhou detalhes de seu acampamento de treinamento, incluindo dicas e motivação que recebeu de Floyd Mayweather e Gervonta Davis, antes de seu confronto superleve contra o ex-campeão mundial Argenis Mendez ao vivo no SHOWTIME neste sábado, Dezembro 12 em 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT em um evento apresentado pelos Premier Boxing Champions da Mohegan Sun Arena em Uncasville, Conn.

“Floyd me ajudou tremendamente enquanto eu estava de volta a Las Vegas,”Disse Hitchins. “Já tenho os fundamentos como lutador, mas ele me mostrou coisinhas aqui e ali e exercícios que eu levo para casa comigo enquanto treino para essa luta. Não tenho vergonha de minha habilidade como lutador, porque eu realmente acredito que sou o melhor lutador em ascensão no jogo, então esse é o tipo de luta de que preciso para mostrar ao mundo quem é Richardson Hitchins.

“Gervonta também foi fundamental em campos de luta anteriores, e ele é o tipo de pessoa que você precisa. Ele te empurra para ir mais difícil. Nós ficamos cara a cara tentando superar um ao outro, e esse é o tipo de competição necessária para ser realmente o melhor. ”

Apesar do treinamento durante a pandemia, Hitchins tem sido capaz de permanecer na tarefa e no caminho certo em seu acampamento, que começou em Las Vegas antes de terminar em seu Brooklyn natal sob a orientação de seu técnico Lenny Wilson.

“A coisa sobre mim é, Eu estou focado, não importa o que aconteça,”Disse Hitchins. “Eu não saio depois das minhas lutas. Eu fico em forma o ano todo; Eu não preciso me preparar em termos de condicionamento ou colocar meu corpo em forma porque este é o meu trabalho. Eu levo meu trabalho muito a sério. A disciplina que Floyd teve ao longo de sua carreira é a mesma que eu. Eu observei meus ídolos e tirei coisas deles para que eu pudesse me colocar em posição de vencer.

“Eu não acho que a pandemia ou os feriados necessariamente alteraram meu treinamento. Eu ainda tenho acesso ao meu ginásio. Não há nada que me impeça de me tornar grande. A pandemia não me desacelera, é apenas mais um obstáculo para testar minha dedicação ao esporte. ”

Hitchins, de 23 anos, representou o Haiti no 2016 Jogos Olímpicos e voltará aos ringues após estrear em 2020 com uma vitória por decisão de 10 rodadas sobre Nicholas DeLomba em fevereiro. Foi a segunda vitória de Hitchins em 10 assaltos por decisão, depois que sua luta anterior o viu como o melhor Kevin Johnson seguindo 10 rodadas em novembro 2019.

“Costumo pensar na minha luta contra Kevin Johnson, ele é um lutador duro e é aquele que posso dizer com segurança que trouxe o melhor de mim,”Disse Hitchins. “Essas são as lutas que me fazem olhar para trás e ver de perto as coisas que preciso trabalhar. Essa luta também me mostrou que ninguém deve ser esquecido, então indo para essa luta contra Mendez, Eu não estou esquecendo dele. "

Méndez apresenta o oponente mais talentoso da jovem carreira de Hitchins. O ex-campeão de 34 anos lutou recentemente com Juan Heraldez e Anthony Peterson para empatar 2019, e obteve vitórias sobre Eddie Ramirez e Ivan Redkach antes disso. Para Hitchins, o currículo forte de seu oponente é algo que ele aprecia como uma medida de medição para seu progresso.

“Ele é um veterano, ele esteve lá com muitos caras durões e ele é um ex-campeão mundial, então ele claramente tem um conjunto de habilidades que acho que preciso enfrentar neste momento da minha carreira,”Disse Hitchins. “Eu preciso dessas grandes lutas. Ele está mais velho agora, mas eu sinto que ele ainda não conseguiu tocar minhas habilidades. É meu trabalho provar que.

“Eu sei que esta não será uma luta fácil, mas estarei preparado para tudo o que ele trouxer. Minha motivação é ser mais do que comum. Vou cumprir meus objetivos quando tudo isso estiver dito e feito, e honestamente, Estou apenas esperando essa luta chegar para mostrar que. Seja Méndez, ou quem quer que seja, a convicção que tenho e como me sinto sobre mim é mais forte do que qualquer coisa que esteja à minha frente naquele ringue. ”

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

Deixe um comentário
BOSTON (Dezembro 7, 2020) – Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker has signed Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. para um contrato exclusivo de gestão.

Anderson, a union Sheetmetal worker in local 17, was a decorated amateur who won a gold medal at the 2016 Rocky Marciano Torneio, 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, embora, 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), onde 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.”

Com a idade de 28, Anderson has decided to turn pro, que, claro, 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 ou 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,” concluiu. “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, Peso meio-médio MA Gabriel Duluc (15-3, 4 KOs), Troy, NY super lightweight Ray Jay “O destruidor” Bermudez (10-0, KOs), Toronto, Canada welterweight Jeff “The Trouble 1” Tabrizi (8-3, 7 KOs), West Haven, CT super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (16-4-2, 5 KOs), pluma Jesus Vasquez, Jr. (6-0, 2 KOs), super-médios “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (4-0, 2 KOs), U.S. Army super bantamweight Daniel Bailey, Jr., and lightweight Leonel de los Santos, a 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian

FED UP FEMALE BOXERS DEMAND FAIRNESS AND A PLATFORM

Deixe um comentário
Boxing’s top female athletes have no “casa”, no network to showcase their talent

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA

NOVA IORQUE — As women continue to make strides toward equality across industries, boxing and its media partners remain in the past by disenfranchising women from a fair opportunity to showcase their skills and earn a living. In the same year that America elected its first female Vice President, a woman of color, the elite women athletes that top the world rankings have no regular television platform or boxing series. Nowhere is this unfair playing field more apparent than in the United States and North America.

The overwhelming majority of top females in boxing have not fought in 2020, or have not fought since January. The pandemic has hit women in boxing even harder than it has hit the men. The picture wasn’t rosy before Covid-19 and, without action, there is no reason to believe that it will improve.

This impacts all women in American boxing, from stars Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, to reigning world champions, to six-round and four-round fighters. Other than a handful of athletes, most female boxers must hold down a full-time or part-time job to make ends meet.

Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight and others have pursued opportunities in MMA to supplement their income and avoid inactivity. Claressa Shields, the most acclaimed woman in American amateur history, foi duas vezes medalhista de ouro olímpico, and a proven attraction, is presently without a platform and just announced a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League.

The unified champion from Flint, Michigan, told The Athletic that, “É (boxe) a sexist sport. It’s sexist with the opportunities we’re given. It’s sexist with the TV time. It’s sexist with how much we get paid. Todos três. It’s fine for a female boxing star to try her hand at MMA. They shouldn’t be compelled to do so for lack of opportunities.”

“These women consistently deliver great fights and solid viewership numbers,” disse Lou DiBella, who promotes more women than any other US promotional entity. “They put people in seats, and viewership of their events often rivals the men. These aren’t club level fighters. They are elite world champions and, without television, without a regular platform, they can’t be financially secure or build any kind of fan base. It’s remarkable that women’s boxing is growing its talent pool and raising its stature, given the scarce television and streaming slots that are reserved for female fighters. This is a testament to the resiliency and dedication of boxing’s female athletes, who deserve better.”

Local promoters, who are in the business of growing fighters and filling seats, can offer spots on their cards and regional exposure, but purses are very limited without television revenue. Female fighters’ purses are often limited to a percentage of tickets they sell out of hand.

At the top levels, women are passed over. Heather Hardy, a DiBella Entertainment fighter, has seen the difference in the growth of boxers of both genders. “At press conferences, I sit at a seat at the very end, with the rest of the undercard fights,” Disse Hardy. “I watch the boys go from sitting next to me at the end of the table, to moving up to the main card, then the co-main, and then the main event, but my seat never moved. No matter how much press I got, no matter how many fights I won, I never moved. Systemic sexism didn’t allow me to move.”

“It isn’t like we are a separate organization like the WNBA. We are only provided with token opportunities, fighting on the same cards, often in much more competitive fights than the men, and still aren’t treated fairly,” Disse Hardy. “We have no place or professional home of our own.”

“This trickles down to aspiring female boxers and the amateur programs,” DiBella continued. “Young women in boxing need to see other women on the big stage. They need to see women that look like them on television and on streaming platforms. They need to know that if they pursue a boxing career, there will be sufficient opportunities to be seen showcasing their talents, for fair wage. If women are able to headline a boxing event, or capable of selling a significant percentage of a live gate, they should not be paid ten to twenty percent of what similarly situated men are paid. We’re not sending the right message here, and there’s no good reason for it in the 21st century.”

The pool of talent available to women in the pro ranks is smaller, but it forces the best matchups. It forces women to fight outside of their weight classes.

“Jessica McCaskill just won unified world titles, and wants to fight me at 147,” said Amanda Serrano, seven-division world champion. “She called me out at 147! It’s kind of sad. Good for us if it makes sense, but the truth is, they’re calling out champs at 126. That is four different weight classes to go up. Men don’t have to do that! Women are constantly forced to compromise ourselves just to get a chance.”

The talent pool won’t increase unless younger generations are inspired by women on television and streaming – women who can fight as well as, and often better than, the men who are on television now. It’s time to stop asking nicely. It’s time for women boxers to demand fairness and stability, and it’s up to network executives, os meios de comunicação, and those who control access to media platforms, to stop living in the past. It’s time for women in boxing to fight for themselves and for the right to earn a living. And it’s now a time for action.

The main event fighters, Ramirez and Lopez, are co-promoters of “Battle of Rio Grande” under their promotional company names, respectivamente, 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) campeãoArthur Abraham (44-4).  The multi-gifted southpaw “Zurdo” (means lefthanded in English) from Mazatlán, México, went on to make five successful title defences, including three against unbeaten challengersJesse Hart (25-0), Habif Ahmed (25-0-1), eRoamer Alexis Ângulo (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 disse, “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, no anel, 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, TAL COMO) 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 meses antes, 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, em geral, 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. Mais, “El Tigre” holds victories over solid opponents other than Grachev and Theran, tal comoDyah Davis eRubin Williams, e em 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 irá enfrentar o veteranoChauncy “Hillyard Hammer” Welliver (57-13-5, 23 KOs), 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, Colo. (Novembro 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 atas. They gleefully reminisced, shared personal updates from the past 22 anos, 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. Temos 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,” adicionado Chris tofflemire, 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,” comentou Barry Siff, USA Boxing volunteer marketing advisor. “I grew up in Detroit during the 1980’s and hung out at Kronk (Academia). I’m happy to be on this call. We all need to help Mike and the team going forward. Don’t wait until 2028 em 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.”

LUTADORES’ CITAÇÕES(Robert Allen e 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 segundos. 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. Em ’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. Em 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 cara, Jeremy Williams, to make the Olympic team. Aqueles 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…obrigado. If it wasn’t for the people at the Olympic Center, I don’t know where I’d be today.”

DANNY RIOS: “Em 1992, I lost in the semifinals of the US Championships. Assim, 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. Juntos, 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 na Rússia. “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 Jogos Olímpicos, 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 e 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. Em seguida, 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. Obrigado. 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, caras! 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, e ganhou. 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 do Ano. I accomplished a lot. I won silver at the 1993 e 1994 Campeonatos mundiais. 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, às vezes, 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: Em 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. “Em 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 EUA Boxe Campeonato Nacional O 2020 USA Boxing National Championships will be held December 5-12 at Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

NO ANEL COM HECTOR “MACHO” CAMACHO: ANTERIORES OPONENTES COMPARTILHAM SUAS HISTÓRIAS E INSIGHTS SOBRE O LENDÁRIO CAMPEÃO MUNDIAL

Deixe um comentário

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY estreia sexta-feira, Dezembro 4 em 9 PM ET / PT em SHOWTIME ®

Um grupo de pessoas perto umas das outras Descrição gerada automaticamente
Cortesia de SHOWTIME

NOVA YORK - novembro 24, 2020 - Antigos oponentes do lendário ícone do boxe Hector “Macho” Camacho, incluindo “Sugar” Ray Leonard, Felix “Tito” Trinidad e treinador do Hall da Fama Freddie Roach, compartilhar suas experiências em primeira mão com o ex-campeão mundial e relembrar sua marca registrada de estilo extravagante antes do MACHO: A HISTÓRIA DO HECTOR CAMACHO estreia do documentário sexta-feira, Dezembro 4 em 9 p.m. ET / PT no canal Showtime.

MACHO: A HISTÓRIA DO HECTOR CAMACHO é um olhar inflexível sobre a vida notável, carreira histórica e assassinato não resolvido de um dos maiores showmen do boxe. Por meio de entrevistas raras e reveladoras com sua mãe, Maria Matias, irmãs, esposa Amy e filho Hector Jr., o documentário também investiga a mente e o espírito perturbados do lendário lutador, sua batalha contra o vício e a turbulência interna que acabou levando à sua morte - um misterioso duplo homicídio em uma estrada em novembro de 2012. O filme é dirigido por duas vezes Emmy® Vencedor do prêmio Eric Drath. Drath e Danielle Naassana, ambos da Live Star Entertainment, atuou como produtores e Aaron Cohen, vencedor de dezesseis vezes do Emmy Award, atuou como escritor e produtor consultor.

Além de Leonard, Trinidad e Roach, ex-campeões mundiais Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza e outros relembram sobre a escalada no ringue contra o chamativo e habilidoso Hector “Macho” Camacho:

RAIO AÇÚCAR LEONARD - março 1, 1997; Na luta final da carreira de Ray Leonard, Camacho venceu por TKO da quinta rodada: “Nós dois tínhamos passado naturalmente do nosso auge, mas eu apenas senti que era um homem maior. Eu era mais esperto, mais forte, todas essas coisas, mas a primeira vez que ele deu um soco, era como, Pancada! E eu disse, 'Uau, isso dói. 'Eu tentei o melhor que pude apenas ir até o fim. Quando ele estava no seu melhor, ele era uma coisa bela. ”

FELIX "TITO" TRINIDAD - Janeiro 29, 1994; Título de peso médio IBF: “Conheci Macho Camacho quando era 12 anos de idade em um evento de arena coberta em Porto Rico. Ele já era um campeão mundial. Eu estava pasmo. Camacho estava falando com todos e sendo ele mesmo. Ele comeu 12 empanadas de uma vez só para ser engraçado.

“Quando eu tive que lutar com ele, foi minha terceira defesa de título. Eu estava 21 e ele era 10 anos mais velho que eu. Ele tinha tanta experiência e fazia tantos jogos mentais. Na conferência de imprensa final, ele se sentou bem no final da mesa - de lado, meio que ignorando a imprensa - e olhando para mim. Quando era a hora dele falar, ele acabou de falar lixo. Ele era um showman. Quando entramos no ringue em Las Vegas, como todo lutador em uma luta de encruzilhada, eu estava um pouco nervoso. Ele era um grande lutador. Ele era tão experiente e técnico. Ele era um pouco louco, mas era uma pessoa tão boa. Humilde.

“Depois da luta, ele veio com o queixo abaixado e me parabenizou. Ele era uma pessoa diferente - ele era tão amigável e calmo. _ Foi uma boa luta,' ele me disse. _ Você vai ser um grande campeão. Continue subindo. 'Foi uma ótima experiência para mim. Depois daquela luta, Senti que algo havia mudado em mim como lutador. Eu tinha compartilhado um anel com Macho Camacho. Você nunca mais é o mesmo depois disso. Ele me ajudou a ser um lutador melhor. Ele foi o primeiro porto-riquenho que enfrentei. O único lutador que me cortou. Eu ganhei minha vitória contra ele na mesma noite [Frankie] Randall entregou a Julio Cesar Chavez sua primeira derrota. Foi uma noite histórica. ”

FREDDIE ROACH - dezembro 18, 1985; Camacho venceu uma luta superleve por decisão unânime de melhorar para 28-0: “Hector Camacho foi o melhor boxeador que já lutei. Sua velocidade era inacreditável. Em um ponto durante a luta, estávamos em um clinch e eu mordi seu ombro. Ele deu um passo para trás, sorriu, e me disse, _ Isso não vai funcionar.’ Ele estava certo. Eu tive tantos problemas para lidar com sua velocidade. Você simplesmente não conseguia se preparar para isso – e eu tive um acampamento de treinamento muito bom. Eu estava realmente pronto para aquela luta. Acho que ganhei um round e foi só porque pisei no pé dele e fui derrubado. Depois da luta, nos encontramos no saguão do hotel e ele me levou para jantar no restaurante do hotel. Nós conversamos e rimos durante o jantar. Ele era um cara ótimo. ”

RAY MANCINI - março 6, 1989; Camacho venceu por decisão dividida para o título WBO Júnior Welterweight vago: “Hector tinha uma habilidade incrível de evitar socos. Ele tinha excelente velocidade de mão, movimento e reflexos. Ele entrou no ringue com todo mundo. E ele era engraçado pra caralho. No início, Eu não aguentava ele. Mas uma vez que fomos aposentados, enterramos a machadinha e toda vez que nos víamos, foram abraços e risos. Ele fez todo mundo rir. Ele era uma boa alma. Fiquei com o coração partido quando ouvi a notícia sobre seu assassinato. No meu livro, quando você fala sobre grandes nomes de todos os tempos, ele está entre os cinco primeiros para os lutadores porto-riquenhos e o melhor 20 para lutadores latinos.”                 

GREGHAUGEN - fevereiro 23, e pode 18, 1991; A primeira derrota na carreira de Camacho e a revanche para WBO Jr. Campeonato Mundial Meio-Médio: “Camacho estava procurando uma luta preparada para a grande batalha dos invictos com Julio Cesar Chavez, então foi assim que consegui a luta. Mas eu tinha estudado suas lutas e sabia que Hector só gostava de lutar por um minuto, minuto e meio de cada rodada. Meu plano para entrar na luta era fazê-lo lutar três minutos de cada round. Eu estava batendo nele com tiros no corpo e ele estava estremecendo. E mais, Eu estava conversando com ele a luta toda, então ele estava ficando frustrado. Então chegamos ao 12th rodada e ele acaba me socando antes do início da rodada porque eu me recusei a tocar luvas, e eles acabam tirando um ponto dele que me rendeu a luta. (Na revanche) ele tinha tanta certeza que perdeu a luta, ele realmente deixou o ringue após a luta. O promotor Dan Duva teve que tirá-lo de seu camarim e basicamente convencê-lo a voltar ao ringue para ouvir a decisão. Ele tinha que vencer aquela luta porque isso o alinharia com Chávez. Achei que tinha vencido mais na segunda luta do que na primeira. ”

PACIÊNCIA DE VINNY - fevereiro 3, 1990; Camacho venceu por decisão unânime para o título Welterweight WBO Junior: “Eu pensei que iria destruí-lo. Eu pensei que iria passar direto por ele. Mas ele era muito mais forte e muito mais rápido do que eu acreditava. E eu estava pensando, 'Oh Deus, Terei uma longa noite. "Ele se preparou para mim como nenhuma outra luta. Ele estava tão empolgado e tão pronto. Ele largou todas as drogas. Ele não estava bebendo. Ele subiu tão alto e depois que ele me bateu, ele nunca foi o mesmo de novo. Hector era um personagem. Ele me supera nessa capacidade. Ele era um cara selvagem e sempre foi selvagem. ”

PJ GOOSSEN - junho 18, 1999; Camacho venceu por decisão unânime na idade de 37 para melhorar seu histórico para 68-4-1: “Essa foi uma noite ruim para mim. Eu tive três costelas quebradas, e ninguém sabia disso. Assim, Eu mal conseguia respirar, muito menos lutar, mas é isso que você precisa fazer no boxe às vezes. Enquanto estávamos nos preparando para a luta, o camarim dele era bem ao lado do meu e eles tinham uma porta que nos separava. Eu podia ouvi-lo antes da luta gritando, ‘Hora Macho!‘‘ Macho time!'E ele bate na parede. E ele continua fazendo isso, gritando cada vez mais alto. Bem, ele bateu na porta com tanta força que estourou e caiu no meu camarim. Assim, ele se levanta e volta pela outra abertura e diz, _ Desculpe por isso. _ Foi realmente muito engraçado e eu, meu pai e meu irmão estávamos rindo. Para voltar e se desculpar quando ele deveria estar se animando para lutar comigo. Eu o classificaria como um dos melhores canhotos que já existiram, especialmente quando ele estava no peso pena e no peso leve. ”
