USA Boxing pays tribute to True Patriot Robert Carmody 1964 Olympic bronze medalist & Soldier killed in Vietnam

Ostavite komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (Maj 21, 2020) – People all across the United States will rightfully pay respect to fallen military men and women during this Memorial Day weekend. One true American Patriot that USA Boxing will remember forever is 1964 Olympic bronze medalistRobert “Butterball” Carmody, who was killed in action three years later at the height of the Vietnam War.

Born in 1938, Carmody learned to fight on the streets of Brooklyn, where he lived before joining the U.S. Army in 1957, and where he took his first boxing lesson. A natural-born fighter, he was selected to represent the 11th Airborne Division, even after it was deployed to Germany, after he had earned his airborne wings, and Robert developed into a record 4-time All-Army flyweight champion.

Carmody also captured top honors at the 1962 International Military Sports Council and earned a bronze medal in 1963 at the prestigious Pan American Games. At the 1964 Olimpijski Boxing suđenja, held at the famous New York’s World’s Fair, he upset flyweight favoriteMelvin Miller to earn a spot on the 1964 USA Olympic Boxing Team.

At the Olympics, Carmody became a close friend of heavyweightJoe Frazier, the lone American to win an Olympic gold medal at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. The smallest and biggest men on the Olympic Team were buddies. Frazier, naravno, went on to become a Hall of Fame heavyweight champion, who was inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame this past December.

“He’s the type of guy you really need,” Frazier said in a 2006 ESPN.com interview. “I had some hard times, things was rough, but he was a guy that helped you out a lot. I loved him like a brother.”

Hampered by a bruised hand, the 5’ 2”, 112-pound Carmody had a bye in the opening round, nokautiraoNam Singh Thapa (Nepal) in his first fight, took a decision (4-1) naspramOtto Babiasch (Njemačka), and lost in the semifinals by way of a questionable decision (1-4) to the eventual Olympic champion, Fernando Atzon (Italija).

Although he never publicly complained about the decision that may have cost him an Olympic gold medal, Carmody was visibly upset as he headed to the locker room, kadaGeneral William Westmoreland hollered to him, “Good job, soldier!” Carmody, iako, turned and reportedly yelled back, “You dumb son of a bitch!"

After the Olympics, Carmody retired from amateur boxing with a 128-12 rekord, returned home and rather than turn pro, he decided to stay in the U.S. Vojska, training a few teams at the International Military Sports Council, including the U.S. Army squad.

Strings were pulled for the 10-year military veteran, because of his imposing status as an Olympic bronze medalist, he didn’t have to go with his 199th Light Infantry Brigade when it was deployed to Vietnam. But even though he wasn’t combat trained, due to his training as a boxer, Carmody insisted on deploying with his unit on June of 1967, the day his son, Robert Carmody, Jr. was born.

A few weeks later, Staff Sergeant Carmody’s unit. D Troop of the U.S. 17th Calvary Regiment was on a routine six-man foot patrol north of Saigon. They were ambushed by Viet Cong guerillas and five of the six U.S. soldiers were killed, including Carmody, who was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star for valor. He became the first Olympic boxing medalist to die in combat.

Undefeated boxing prospect Lamont Powell Escaped 36-bullet shooting without a scratch Founded “Gloves Up, Guns Down” milostinja

Ostavite komentar
Lamont Powell (R ) is a winner in different ways
(photo courtesy of Ed Diller Photography)
 
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Maj 5, 2020) – Undefeated super welterweight prospectLamont “The Blessed One” Powell, based on a near death experience 2-½ years ago in Providence, could easily have “Srećan” as his nickname.
 
The 26-year-old Powell was a three-time Silver Mittens champion, who compiled a 45-4 amaterski zapis, prior to turning two years ago. On je 5-0 (1 KO) as a professional but, due to the pandemic, he hasn’t fought since last August, when he won a 4-round unanimous decision over 14-7-1Ricardo Garcia.
 
Back on that near fatal night in 2018, Lamont and his uncle were sitting in a car in front of Powell’s home, when another vehicle suddenly and surprisingly stopped near them. Two unidentified young men jumped out and starting firing automatic weapons in Powell’s direction. Thirty-six rounds were shot, one hit Powell’s uncle in the leg, but Powell somehow miraculously escaped without a scratch.  
 
“No bullets hit me,” Powell confirmed. “I’m blessed and the reason for that is God and my mother – we lost her (Melissa) when I was 3 – who is my guardian angel. We were just sitting in a car, when two kids got out of a car and starting shooting our car. They had extended clips, but I don’t know who they were, and neither do the police to this day. My uncle was taken to the hospital and I had to start watching myself closer.”
 
Powell’s grandparents – Phillip Copper iMary Ann Powell – brought him up, because his mother had passed away and his father was in and out of his life. His grandmother is his legal guardian and his grandfather has been like a father since he was a baby.
 
Naturally, after his surreal experience, Powell dramatically changed his lifestyle. Instead of running the streets and ending up like many people he knew, dead or incarcerated, Powell dedicated himself to boxing and created a charity for high-risk kids, Gloves Up, Guns Down, sponsored by Big Six Boxing Academy in Providence, where he trains with his grandfather as head coach, as well as having former U.S. Olympian boxerJason “Big Six” Cesta u svom kutu.
 
After the shooting somebody who had been shot in the head reached out to Powell. They met to talk about what they’d been through and soon createdGloves up, Guns Down, koji “blew up” overnight, according to Powell.
 
“Gloves Up, Guns Down” offers at-risk youngsters an opportunity to try boxing as part of an after-school program aimed to keep kids active and out of trouble. Kids are supplied with boxing equipment and taught valuable lessons through boxing with proper coaching and support.
“I started boxing when I was eight years old,” Powell added. “Boxing kept me off of the streets and busy. This is a sport outside of school that everyone can get involved in.”
 
Powell is promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Sports and Entertainment (CES). Burchfield clearly remembers the first time he saw Powell, because he was so impressive running a hilly 2 ½ mile course around a pond at Lincoln Woods State Park.
 
“I walk there often, and I’ve watched everybody struggle running those hills, including top athletes, but I saw this kid running the hills without a problem,” Burchfield remembered. “I later found out that he was a boxer and knew I’d never have to worry about him being in top shape.  
 
“Lamont came to see me with his grandfather, who has been such a big part of his life, and laterRoland Estrada joined us. I was impressed because Lamont had a full-time job, još, he trains so hard. I learned that he came from one of the toughest areas of Providence and ran the streets as a kid. Jednog dana, he called and asked if I would go with him to the Met School, where he was going to be speaking to about 150 kids and teachers. He spoke about running the streets and admitted that he had done it all. He said to me that if he could impact the lives of one or two of those kids, he’d feel happy, and that brought tears to my eyes. He was going speak at other schools, but this pandemic has put that on hold for now. His program is No. 1 in his life, helping at-risk kids so they don’t repeat what Lamont did when he was younger.”
 
U ring, Powell displays a stiff jab and, naravno, tremendous conditioning. And like most boxers, he believes that he’ll be a champion someday.
 
“Everything is going as planned with CES,” Powell concluded. “My grandfather has been my head coach since day one, Jason also coaches me, and Doc. Estrada is my adviser. Boxing came naturally to me. I just needed to put in the hard work. Someday I will be a champion and I can’t wait to see my grandfather in the ring holding the belt over his head, because nobody deserves that more than him.”
 
Burchfield has been a boxing promoter for nearly 30 godina, and he agrees that Powell will be a champion someday. “He’s definitely is on a mission to be a champion,” Burchfield added, and he has everything needed to make that happen. This kid has a really good story. He can be a champion and continue helping at-risk kids have better lives. What’s better than that?”
 
Powell, who also gave-away toys to children in need last Christmas at Big Six Boxing Academy, is on the boxing journey of his career that he believes will climax someday with him being crowned world champion.  
 
Ukratko, Lamont Powell is the total package, u i izvan ringa. And lucky to be alive!

Born to box Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (April 27, 2020) — As the son of a prizefighter, International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee (“Class of 2015”) Zrak “Boom Boom” Mancini was born to box, and the Youngstown, Ohio fighter climbed to the top of the sport’s mountain, capturing the World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight title in 1982.

Mancini’s father, kasnih Lenny “Boom Boom” Mancini, boxed professionally from 1937 u 1947, sastavljanja 46-12-3 (16 KOs) pro record. Lenny was the No. 1 ranked lightweight in the world in 1941 and considered a future world champion. Međutim, his dream was sadly shattered when he was wounded during World War II. He returned to boxing after being discharged, but his physical issues due to the wound prevented him from fulfilling his once vast potential.

His son, Zrak, took the mantle and ran with it to fame, glory and notoriety as a world champion. He started boxing young and had his first fight when he was 15 at the Junior Olympics in Cleveland. Ray had thought that he would have to wait until he turned 16, because that was the minimum age to compete in the Golden Gloves.

“When I heard that I could enter (the Junior Olympics),” Mancini remembered, “I pressured my father to let me go (to Cleveland). A very close family friend was training some guys in the next town over from us and he was taking some fighters to the Junior Olympics. He said he’d take me there. I won by first fight by first-round knockout and I wound up winning the regional title. I went on to the Mid-West Regional in Detroit and fought a local kid, Sammy Fuentes, to go to the Nationals. He beat me by decision, but I gained my first real lesson about boxing and life: experience is everything. It was my sixth amateur fight and I was told that Fuentes had more than 200. It did not deter me, zapravo, it made me hungrier to succeed.”

Succeed he did, despite his aggressive style that best suited the professional ranks much more than amateurs. He won 43 od 50 amateur matches, capturing top honors in the 1977 Youngstown Golden Gloves and Northeastern Ohio Golden Gloves. He also won the Northeast Ohio AAU Championship and reached the quarterfinals of the 1978 National AAU Tournament.

“I lost a close decision in the semifinals of the 1978 National Golden Gloves to two-time U.S. Olimpijski Davey Armstrong,” Mancini said. “I lost a decision to Anthony Fletcher in the quarterfinals of the 1978 National AAU Championships and once again in the championship final of the Ohio State Fair. In my last amateur fight, I lost a bad decision to defending National Champion Melvin Paul na 1979 Nacionalni Golden Gloves turnir. (Nakon toga) I knew I wasn’t going to have another amateur fight and was going to turn pro.

“I had more of a pro style when I fought in the amateurs. Three rounds didn’t benefit me. I never had a four-round fight (kao pro). I started with six-rounders because, for my style, a three-round amateur or a four-round pro fight were pretty much the same for me. Six-rounders were more beneficial to me and that was proven right away.

“I knew I wouldn’t win any of the major amateur championships because of my style. Usput, iako, I beat some pretty good amateurs: Darryl Chambers,Memo Arreola, Tim Christianson i Mark Chieverini. My amateur career just made me even more hungry to win a World title as a pro.”



His seek and destroy style made him an instant favorite as a professional. “I had to be aggressive, as a fighter or on the playing field when I played other sports, because of my natural instincts,” Mancini explained. “I couldn’t sit back and wait for things to happen; I had to try and make things happen. I follow that thinking in my business life as well, but much like the fight game, you have to known when to attack and when to sit back and counter.”

Mancini, who some called a little Rocky Marciano because of the way he fought, turned pro October 18, 1979 in Struthers, Ohajo, zaustavljanje Phil Bowen u prvom kolu. Ray fought 15 times in his first year as a pro and extended his winning streak to 19, before he challenged World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight World champion Alexis Arguello (67-5), who won by way of a 14-round technical knockout, in a fight that was dead even after 10 kruga. After the match, then future Hall of Famer Arguello was quoted as saying: “I think my heart is special, but his (Mancini) is bigger than I have. Someday he will be champion.”

Only seven months and three fights later, Mancini captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight World title way of a sensational first-round knockout of defending champion Arturo Frias (24-1). Ray dedicated that fight to his father, who was unable to become world champion, due to the wounds he suffered in World War II.

Mancini finished his pro career with a 29-5 (23 KOs), which included victories against world champions Bobby Chacon (523-5-1), Ernesto Espana (35-4), Frias and Jose Luis Ramirez (71-3), and all five of his losses were to world champions – Arguello, Hector Camacho, Greg Haughen i Livingstone Bramble (dvaput).

“Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini demonstrated the heart of a champion throughout his career,” rekao je Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “Even though his in-ring success is primarily discussed at the professional level, the hunger to learn and grow as an amateur is something that inspires today’s USA Boxing champions. He is another example of a USA Boxing alumnus who experienced tremendous success resulting from experiences and lessons from his amateur days.”

Mancini is proud of his roots in Youngstown, which also produced world pro boxing champions such as Harry Arroyo, Jeff Lampkin, Greg Richardson i Kelly Pavlik.

“Growing up in Youngstown helped me tremendously as a fighter,” Mancini talked about his hometown. “We all knew what a tough town it was and is and we knew the stories of all the fighters, amateur and pro, who had left a mark before us. Growing up there, football and boxing were the two sports everybody talked about. If you left a mark in either one, people still talked about you long after you’re playing, or fight days were over. Tako, to succeed in a town like Youngstown, was a tremendous accomplishment in itself.”

The ultra-popular Mancini is one of the few boxers to have had a movie (“Heart of a Champion: The Ray Mancini Story)”), song (“Boom Boom Mancini” by Warren Zevon) and book (“The Good Son: The Life of Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini by Mark Kriegel) about him.

Danas, the 59-year-old Mancini still resides in Youngstown, and he remains involved in boxing as a color commentator for PBC on Fox. He’s also been a member of the Ohio Boxing Commission for the last three years. “I’m involved (u boksu) as close as I want to be and can still be a fan,” on je priznao. “What I miss most about the fight game is challenging myself mentally and emotionally, and to be able to “get up” and challenge myself physically on a daily basis. To stand in front of another man before the fight, right in the center of the ring, and say to myself, ‘Either you’re getting carried out of here tonight or I am, but one of us is getting carried out of here tonight,’ was my mentality. I miss that challenge!”

Looking back at his boxing career, Mancini maintains that he wouldn’t change a thing. “I can’t say I would do anything different, u retrospektivi, because I won the World title, successfully defended it four times, made good money and retired healthy,” Mancini concluded. “People still remember and talk about my fights and I made it into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, the ultimate shrine for fighters. Tako, why would I want to have done anything differently?”

Arjan Iseni trening tokom pandemije

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krilo. (April 23, 2020) — Amaterski boks, kao u profesionalnim redovima, je ugašen širom svijeta zbog pandemije koronavirusa. Članovi američkog boksa prilagođavaju se ovim izazovnim i teškim vremenima širom zemlje.

Zatvorene su teretane i škole, turniri obustavljeni, i 2020 Ljetne olimpijske igre u Tokiju odgođene su za godinu dana. Članovi elitne kvalifikacije, Omladinski i juniorski timovi visokih performansi više su kod kuće nego na Colorado Springsu, a treniraju u vrhunskom američkom centru za olimpijske i paraolimpijske treninge.

Kako su neki od vodećih SAD-a. amaterski bokseri koji su u ovom periodu živjeli bez borbi?

ELITE OLIMPIJSKI TIM ZA KVALIFIKACIJU

Joseph Hicks (Grand Rapids, Mičigen), 26-godišnja srednja kategorija, USA Ranking #2
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 National Golden Gloves; 2017 & 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier; 3-vrijeme Eastern Elite Qualifier (2017-2019)

Hicks je u samo jednoj kvalifikacijskoj pobjedi službeno postao član 2020 Tim SAD Olimpijski bokserski tim. Iskorištava pauzu, iako, provodeći kvalitetno vrijeme sa suprugom i malom kćerkom.

“

Lično smatram da je ovo prerušeni blagoslov, jer imam više vremena za poboljšanje stvari na kojima su mi treneri iz SAD-a govorili da radim. Živim u stanu u Lansingu (MY), ali boravio sam s mamom u Grand Rapidsu kako bih mogao komotno trenirati. To je na neki način čudno, ali nedostaje mi udaranje. Pokušavao sam se prilagoditi novom normalnom, ali jedva čekam da se vratim u trening centar (Colorado Springs).

“Volim što svoju kćer mogu viđati svaki dan kako bih joj ukazao svu pažnju, ali ona joj nedostaje toliko koliko i meni. Moja supruga i majka su mi pružale veliku podršku. Vjerujem da će me čekanje još godinu dana poboljšati samo dok Olimpijske igre budu ovdje.”

Oshae Jones, (Toledo, Ohajo), 22-godišnja velter kategorija, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2020 Olimpijski timski pokusi, 3-vrijeme Elite državno prvenstvo (2016-2019), 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier, 2016 Youth Open, 2014 National PAL. International: 2020 Turnir u Strandji & 2019 Panameričke igre

Jones je bio na listi koji je vodio do odloženog kvalifikacija za Ameriku da zaključa mjesto na listi 2020 Tim SAD Olimpijski bokserski tim. Trenirala je u porodičnoj teretani u Toledu, kao i uključivanje više u usluge i funkcije zajednice.



“Nisam se prilagodio životu bez boksa, jer boks nikada neće napustiti moj život. Moja porodica / treneri imaju teretanu povezanu s našom kućom u kojoj živimo. Boks nije sport, to je stil života .

“Srce mi je palo kad sam prvi put čuo da su Olimpijske igre odgođene. Sve na čemu radim u osnovi čitav svoj život je na pauzi do sledećeg jula. Ne znam kako se osjećam niti kako da izrazim kako se osjećam. Jedino što mogu je pokušati ostati motiviran.”


EKIPA ZA VISOKE PERFORMANSE OMLADINE

Arjan Iseni (Staten Island, Njujork), 17-jednogodišnjak u poluteškoj kategoriji, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Državno prvenstvo za mlade, Eastern Regional Open & Youth Open

Iseni živi u epicentru Koronavirusa, Staten Island, Njujork. On i njegov otac sagradili su mali prsten u svom dvorištu (pogledajte sliku ispod) jer nije mogao trenirati ni u jednoj teretani.

“Teško je znati da ove godine neću moći predstavljati Tim SAD ni na jednom međunarodnom turniru. Ovo mi je zadnja godina kao omladinskog boksera, ali jako sam trenirao tokom karantene, i bit ću spreman za sve što slijedi za mene.

“Teško je znati da se neću uskoro boriti, ali ovo mi daje više vremena da popravim male nedostatke u svojoj igri, i vratit ću se jači kad se sve ovo završi. Nadajmo se, sve se vraća u normalu uskoro, tako da se mogu vratiti aktivnim borbama i nadam se da ću tim SAD-a postati Elite bokserom.”


Shera Mae Patricio (Waianae, Havaji), 17-muha od godinu dana, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Državno prvenstvo za mlade & Western Regional Open; 2018 Državno prvenstvo za mlade & Western Regionals Open; 2017 Državne juniorske olimpijske igre & National Golden Gloves

Patricio živi najdalje od trening kampa i svojih saigrača, ali njena porodica posjeduje teretanu za boks, a trening / sparing joj nije problem jer ima osmero braće i sestara.



“U karanteni smo i prilagodio sam se životu bez borbi nastavljajući trenirati u svojoj ličnoj teretani sa svojom braćom i sestrama. Trening nam nije predstavljao problem jer imamo vlastitu teretanu. Saniramo svu opremu i teretanu prije i nakon treninga. Budući da uskoro nema borbi, pooštravali smo svoje vještine i izgrađivali više znanja Stekli smo snagu i održavali izdržljivost. Vikendima, moj otac vozi bicikl dok trčimo u krugovima kako bismo se sunčali, a ponekad radimo sprint vježbe vani.

“Naša porodica je bokserska porodica koja je započela s mojim tatom dok je bio boksač. Počeo je da me trenira, samo za odbranu, ali je počelo da postaje ozbiljno u 2015 kada sam osvojio svoj prvi turnir u Kansasu. Svi moji ostali braća i sestre također su boksači i također su višestruki prvaci. Moja braća i sestre dobivamo tonu porodičnog vremena boraveći zajedno kod kuće. Ova karantena nas je još više zbližila. Naša veza nas čini jačima pojedinačno i jedinstveno. Daleko sam od treninga u Colorado Springsu, ali moji suigrači udaljeni su samo telefonskim pozivom. U stanju sam da ostanem u kontaktu i to je jako zagrijavanje. Neki od trenera provjeravaju me kako bih vidio kako mi ide. Radovao sam se svim turnirima na kojima sam se planirao boriti i razočaran sam što su odgođeni, ali imam više vremena da se još bolje pripremim za svoju sljedeću borbu.”

JUNIOR TIM VISOKOG UČINKA

Steven Navarro (Los Anđeles, Kalifornija) 16-muha od godinu dana, USA Ranking #1
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Junior državno prvenstvo & National PAL; 2018 Junior državno prvenstvo; 2017 Prep Open & Western Regional Open

Navarro je trenirao u Colorado Springsu kako bi se pripremio za međunarodno takmičenje u Bugarskoj, ali putovanje je otkazano dva dana prije nego što su Navarro i njegovi suigrači trebali krenuti.



“Kao član boksačkog juniorskog tima SAD-a, Radujem se svakoj borbi / turnir, jer bi mi mogao biti zadnji. Tako me je potreslo srce kad sam bio obaviješten da su naše borbe u Bugarskoj i buduće međunarodne borbe otkazane zbog ove pandemije. Nastavljam raditi koliko i redovno: buđenje u 5 ujutro, trčanje 5-6 milja u obližnjim brdima, naravno da nosim moju masku. Dolazim kući da pohađam predavanja na mreži 9 od 14:00, što mi drijema 2 sata prije odlaska u privatnu teretanu. Ja sam jedina osoba koja svakodnevno trenira u svojoj teretani 4:30 poslije podne. Jednom kad dođem u teretanu, Počinjem se istezati 3 kruga (3-minutne runde), kutija za sjene za 5-7 kruga, onda sam pogodio pet vrsta boksačkih vreća (3 rundi svaka). Poslije, Radim rukavice (5-8 kruga) gdje se fokusiram na različite pokrete i situacije koje bi se mogle dogoditi u borbi. Često udaram u dvostruku torbu i brzinsku torbu 3 kruga. Završavam trening boksa sa 15 min. konopca za skok.

“Treniram svakodnevno za 2 sati sa mojim ocem / trenerom Refugiom Navarrom. Ova se pandemija pomalo kocka zbog toga što nema pristup sparingu. Ja se obično krećem’ sa ocem jednom sedmično, ali iskustvo je drugačije. Jednom završen, Upućujem se baki i djedu’ kuća (samo jedan blok od moje kuće) da se potrudim i pripremim. Nosim masku i rukavice dok radim tamo. Moj djed je bodybuilder i u garaži ima uređenu teretanu. Dobar sat vježbam s djedom, stalno dezinficirati svu opremu, da završim svoj dan. Radim sa onim što imam, što je blagoslov. Boks nije sezonski sport, morate biti spremni tokom cijele godine na sve, i to je ono što nastavljam da radim dok težim veličini.”

Fernanda Chavez (Dallas, Teksas), 14-jednogodišnja bantam kategorija, USA Ranking #2
Izvedbe zlatnih medalja: 2019 Junior Open; 2018 Prep Open & Istočna regija



Chavez je prva godina članica Junior High Performance Team-a, a njen početni trening kamp u Colorado Springsu odgurnut.

“Prilagođavanje ovom novom načinu života nije bilo najlakše. Zahvalan sam što imam svoju porodicu, kao što smo svakodnevno trčali i vježbali u parkovima. Moja porodica razumije važnost mog atletizma i održavanja kondicije, zbog čega nastavljamo motivirati jedni druge u ovo teško vrijeme. Nisam sigurna kada će se naši životi vratiti u normalu, zbog čega sam i dalje u svakom trenutku spreman.

“Ono čemu se najviše radujem u kampu u Colorado Springsu je susret s drugim mlađim ženkama u timu, kao i učenje različitih stilova koje donose. Takođe se radujem stvaranju veza između mojih novih saigrača i trenera iz cijele države.”

NEW YORK – April 14, 2020 – This week’s installment of the digital podcast seriesSHOWTIME BOXING WITH ERIC RASKIN AND KIERAN MULVANEY features heavyweight contender Otto Wallin, who recently recovered from COVID-19, and promoter Dmitriy Salita in an interview about life in quarantine and the effect the virus has had on the sport of boxing. Više, Hall of Fame analyst and boxing historian Steve Farhood joins this week’sRevenge: The Rematchessegment to discuss Azumah Nelson vs. Jesse James Leija II, Gerald McClellan vs. Julian Jackson II, and Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Frankie Randall II.

Excerpts from the episode:

On COVID-19 and its effect on the sport of boxing…

Riječ – “It’s a really unpredictable environment right now. Boxing is an international sport. Now more than ever, fighters come to the U.S. from all over to train and fight. It’s really important that the whole world heals so that things can go back to normal.”

Wallin – “This virus is very serious. People are dying – people from the gym have died. I didn’t have many symptoms when I had it, but it spread to my mother’s boyfriend who is a diabetic and he was very ill. When you are home, don’t just stay on the couch. You have to come up with ideas to keep yourself busy and do something.”

On staying in shape during quarantine…

Wallin – “I am trying to make the best of the situation, and I can do a lot with what I have now. It’s working alright. I do some boxing punching on the wall and lots of shadow boxing.”

On Salita Promotions’ Train Like a Boxer YouTube Series…

Riječ – “We were thinking of ways to keep connections between the fighters and the fans. Everyone is stuck at home, no one can go to work and it’s important to stay healthy and active. We thought we could let the fans know about what the fighters are doing at home and keep communication between everyone going.”

On what’s next for Wallin…

Riječ – “In the fight with [Tyson] Fury you can see how amazing his performance was. Numbers don’t lie, Otto landed more punches against Fury than any opponent including [Vladimir] Klitschko and [Deontay] Wilder –in the first fight. Otto is a world-class fighter, and hopefully we get back to business and he can show that he is one of the best heavyweights in the world.”

On Chavez vs. Randall II…

Farhood – “I think it was a sign Chavez was getting to the end, he was only 31 but he had 90 fights and I think Randall got him at the right time. Watching Randall in both fights boxing so well reminded me a bit of Buster Douglas against [Mikrofon] Tyson. This guy didn’t give you anything to think he could do something like this – just boxing beautifully. I thought Randall probably deserved the rematch decision by a point, but it was a very close fight.”
