FIGHTERS CAN SIGN UP NOW FOR A DIRECT PAYMENT SENT OUT FIRST WEEK OF MAY ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE NEW’GO THE SOCAL DISTANCE’ FUNDRAISER T-SHIRT& 10% OF SALES AT CONTENDERSCLOTHING.COM TO GO TO FUND
Λας Βέγκας, NV. (Απρίλιος 13, 2020): Contenders Clothing is proud to announce the creation of the Fighting for Fighters Fund, a new program that will put money directly, and immediately, into the hands of professional fighters affected by the current Covid-19 crisis.

With combat sports across the United States being suspended indefinitely, many fighters who earn a living competing professionally are self-employed contractors leaving them out of work and not eligible for state unemployment. While there is money earmarked for contract workers under the Cares Act, funds have been hard to, if not impossible, to access, leaving many working class fighters in dire need of assistance.

“While some well-known apparel companies are donating to large and mostly worldwide health organizations, we’ve yet to see any company directly help fighters,” said Contenders Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Snyder.

“We have been embraced by professional fighters of all levels who have worn our boxer briefs and t-shirts at weigh ins and we truly consider anyone who wears us as part of our family. They’ve had our back and now it’s time to have theirs.”

Funding for Fighting for Fighters will come from the sales of an exclusive, ‘Go The Social Distance’ t-shirt created specifically as a fundraiser for the program. Εξάλλου, Contenders Clothing is giving 10% of every single sale throughout the entire month of April at www.contendersclothing.com directly into the fund.

Payments will go out the first week of May and will be divided equally from the overall amount Fighting for Fighters raises between all eligible fighters.

“We’ve come to find that fighters are special people in and out of the ring and not enough people understand their sacrifice. Αν Fighting for Fighters can literally buy groceries for a fighters’ family for a week or pay a utility bill at a time when they desperately need it, then we will consider it a success.”

If you are an active professional fighter based in the United States whose income has been affected by the Covid-19 crisis please sign up at:

If you’d like to purchase the Go the Social Distance t-shirt and have all proceeds go to the Fighting for Fighters Fund, please head to:

A remarkable boxing journey like no other 1972 Χρυσό Ολυμπιακό μετάλλιο “Ζάχαρη” Ray Seales

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
(Ray Seales is in the front row, second in from the left)



COLORADO SPRINGS, Αγκαλιά. (Απρίλιος 9, 2020) — Imagine being the lone boxer from your country to capture an Olympic gold medal, only days after the infamous Munich massacre. Now imagine also having won a remarkable 338 του 350 amateur matches, having fought a trilogy as a professional with “Θαυμάσιος” Marvin Hagler, being declared legally blind in both eyes (having entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr. pickup a six-figure medical bill), regaining sight in one eye, then working as a teacher of autistic students for 17 χρόνια.

“Ζάχαρη” Ray Seales has truly lived a surreal life, to say the least, and he’s still involved in boxing at the age of 67, as a successful coach of amateur boxers in Indianapolis.

Born in Saint Croix, Η.Π.Α.. Virgin Island as one of eight children in a family whose father was a boxer there as a member of the U.S. Army team, Seales started boxing at the age of nine. “I have three brothers and we always beat the crap out of each other,” he spoke about his start in boxing. “Learning how to box, για εμενα, was all about fighting to be the first to eat. I had gotten hit in my left eye playing dodgeball and my uncle, who was stationed at Ft. Λουδοβίκος (σε Τακόμα, WA), told my mother there was a special doctor there who could help with my eye. My father was stationed all over and in 1964, when I was 12, my mother moved us to Tacoma, Ουάσινγκτον.

“I had boxing in my system. I went with my brothers to the Downtown Tacoma Boys Club, which was only one block from our home, and my mother could watch me walk from our house to the gym and back. I was the first from there to win a Golden Gloves title. I wanted to be a winner and finished with 14 (πρωταθλητής) jackets. I couldn’t speak English. I knew Spanish and spoke Spanish and English together. The first word I said in English was box. We used to fight three or four times a day and we built the Tacoma Boxing Club. I went on to have a 338-12 amateur record and I’ve been in boxing ever since.”

Seales developed into a champion, taking top honors at the 1971 National AAU and 1972 National Golden Gloves championships. Στην ηλικία των 19, Seales enlisted in the U.S. Πολεμική Αεροπορία, but his mother made some calls so Ray would be able to compete in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Γερμανία.

She succeeded and the rest, όπως λένε, is history. And when he came home from the Olympics, he was told that there was no need for him to report to the U.S. Πολεμική Αεροπορία, because he had done enough in terms of service as the only American boxer to win a gold medal.

Ο 1972 Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες, ωστόσο, was overshadowed by the killing of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches, as well as a West German police officer at the Olympic Village by terrorists on Black September.

“I had just turned 20,” Seales remembered. “Boxing was heavy when we went there. Some of my family, my coach from Tacoma, and Tacoma teammate (and 2-time U.S. Ολυμπίου)Davey Armstrong were in Germany. I didn’t know anything at first. I had to get the attention of my parents to let them know not to go there, because there were terrorists with sub-machine guns in the Olympic Village. I was the only American boxer left to fight.”

Seales defeated Bulgarian Angjei Anghhelov, 5-0, in the light welterweight championship to capture an Olympic gold medal, the only member of the U.S. team to do so. His teammates included Armstrong, Duane Bobick, and Olympic bronze medalists Jesse Valdez, Marvin Johnson και Ricardo Carreras.

Sugar Ray Seales’s dedication to USA Boxing is second to none,” είπε Κρις Κούλιαρι, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “His pride, patriotism, and devotion to helping our next generation of champions is what makes him such an inspiring figure.”


Ένωση Αποφοίτων Πυγμαχίας ΗΠΑ

Δημιουργήθηκε για να πρωταγωνιστεί δια βίου, αμοιβαία επωφελείς σχέσεις μεταξύ του USA Boxing και των αποφοίτων του, –μπόξερ, αξιωματούχοι, προπονητές και λάτρεις της πυγμαχίας — Ο Σύλλογος Αποφοίτων συνδέει γενιές πρωταθλητών, εμπνέει και δίνει πίσω στους μελλοντικούς πρωταθλητές πυγμαχίας της USA Boxing, μέσα και έξω από το δακτύλιο.

Η Ένωση Αποφοίτων Πυγμαχίας των ΗΠΑ είναι ανοιχτή σε οποιονδήποτε έχει αγάπη για την πυγμαχία και θέλει να παραμείνει συνδεδεμένος με την ερασιτεχνική πυγμαχία. Members are granted access to a wide variety of special events hosted by the Alumni Association, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της ετήσιας δεξίωσης στο Hall of Fame της Ένωσης Αποφοίτων Πυγμαχίας των ΗΠΑ.

Για ένταξη στον Σύλλογο Αποφοίτων, απλά εγγραφείτε στο alumni@usaboxing.org για ένα $40.00 ετησίως συνδρομή μέλους. Τα νέα μέλη θα λάβουν ένα μπλουζάκι, μπρελόκ και ηλεκτρονικό πορτοφόλι.


Seales turned pro in 1973, winning an 8-round unanimous decision over Gonzalo Rodriguez σε Τακόμα. “Sugarman” won his first 21 αγώνες υπέρ, until he lost a 10-round decision to 14-0 middleweight prospect and future Hall of Famer Marvin Hagler. Δύο αγώνες αργότερα, Seales fought Hagler in Tacoma to a 10-round draw (99-99, 99-99, 98-96).

“Everybody wanted a shot at the Olympic gold medalist,” Seales explained.” I went to Boston and we fought in a TV studio (WNAC). It was freezing in there. I was shivering when I went into the ring, Marvin came out dripping sweat. I knew I was losing after seeing that, but I hung with him and went the distance (10 γύρους). I was having management problems and three months later I fought Hagler again, only this time at home in Tacoma. I beat him but it ended in a 10-round draw. He knows I beat him!”

Seales completed his trilogy with Hagler, but it was five years later, when Hagler was 42-2-1 and avoided by most of the world’s top middleweights. “I was the USBA (United States Boxing Association) and North American Boxing Federation (NABF) middleweight champion and Hagler needed to win a title to get a world title shot,” Seales noted. “I lost our third fight in the first round, but that’s the only thing shown on television in our three fights. We were two left-handers, but he switched to right-handed, and he caught me with a hook. I got paid and they bought him a world title fight.”

Seales has coached two different amateur teams in Indianapolis during the past 11 χρόνια, νίκης 10 Golden Gloves team championships, and he’s still in charge in Indy of Team IBG.

After he retired in 1984 after suffering detached retinas in both eyes, Seales was introduced in Las Vegas to Sammy Davis, Jr. (απεικονίζεται παρακάτω), who paid Seales’ $100,000 medical bill for his damaged eyes. Davis had lost his left eye in a 1952 car accident



“I’m a teacher,” Seales concluded. “I see the way that so many boxers want to fight likeFloyd Mayweather. Their head is tilted, they can’t throw a jab. I teach them to have the right foot behind the left (for a right-handed boxer), and to walk in straight, not tilted or peaking. Heel toe, heel toe every time you pivot is your stance.

“My advice for the boxers who hope to compete in the 2020 Olympics is to focus on what you’re doing and listen to how to get it done. What I really want to do is to coach the USA Olympic Boxing Team 2024.”

Απρίλιος 24: LUCAS MATTHYSSE vs. JOHN MOLINA, MICKEY BEY vs. JOHN MOLINA

NEW YORK – April 6, 2020 - SHOWTIME Sports will continue to serve boxing fans during the current hiatus from live sports, announcing today SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS with regularly scheduled replays of legendary bouts from the network’s deep archive of world championship boxing. SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS will air on three consecutive Friday nights beginning April 10, στο 10 μ.μ. ET / PT σε SHOWTIME. The telecasts will also be available via the SHOWTIME streaming service and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

The April slate of SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS will be highlighted by three Fight of the Year winners, which include some of the most heart-pounding and unforgettable fights in boxing history.

Παρασκευή, Απρίλιος 10:
Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I - 2005 Consensus Fight of the Year (also featuring the Round of the Year and later named Fight of the Decade)
Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo II
Παρασκευή, Απρίλιος 17:

Mickey Bey vs. John Molina

During each SHOWTIME BOXING CLASSICS τηλεοπτική εκπομπή, Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell, the network’s versatile combat sports analysts, will host a live companion episode of their digital talk show MORNING KOMBAT στο Morning Kombat YouTube Channel. Thomas and Campbell will watch the SHOWTIME replay and react to the fights in real time, feature special guest interviews with principal participants from the bouts (μαχητές, εκπαιδευτές, referees and promoters) and take questions from fans while the bouts replay on the network.

“The greatest fight I’ve ever covered,” said Al Bernstein, the International Boxing Hall of Fame analyst. In a career that spans more than 40 χρόνια, including calling Hagler-Hearns, Bowe-Holyfield I and the Vazquez-Marquez trilogy, Bernstein says the first Corrales-Castillo war was the best. “This was Hagler-Hearns times three because it lasted so much longer. It was fought at a such an extraordinary skill level and to me that is what made it so special.”

The fights scheduled to air in April include:

Corrales-Castillo I (Μάιος 7, 2005, Corrales TKO 10) – After nine intense, back-and-forth rounds in a WBC and WBO lightweight unification bout, Corrales accomplishes the unthinkable, miraculously regrouping from δυο knockdowns in the 10ου to stop Castillo and etch his name in boxing lore. After managing to beat the count (and losing a point for spitting the mouthpiece), Corrales got Castillo on the ropes and connected with a huge right hand. Corrales continued to unload on a defenseless Castillo, forcing referee Tony Weeks to halt the blazing action.

Corrales-Castillo II (Οκτώβριος 8, 2005, Castillo KO 4) – Castillo, who did not make the 135-pound weight limit, making the contest a non-title bout, avenges an earlier loss to the WBC and WBO Lightweight World Champion Corrales with a one-punch, fourth-round knockout. Castillo consistently outworks Corrales and lands the harder punches in a more one-sided bout than their first affair. Castillo staggers his opponent with a right hand in the third round that sends him stumbling backward across the ring. He then scores a finishing knockdown with a left hook in the fourth that puts Corrales flat on his back.

Ayala-Tapia I (Ιούνιος 26, 1999, Ayala W 12) – In some of the fiercest two-way action in the history of Las Vegas boxing, southpaw Ayala hands Tapia his first professional loss in 49 fights and captures the WBA Bantamweight Title by the scores of 115-114 και 116-113 δυο φορές. As the boxers were being announced, Tapia walked across the ring and shoved Ayala, causing a momentary skirmish.

Ayala-Tapia II (Οκτώβριος 7, 2000, Ayala W 12) – In a rematch of 1999’s Fight of the Year, the action between the heated rivals does not disappoint. Ωστόσο, the outcome is the same as their first meeting, with Ayala winning via controversial unanimous decision. Mayhem ensues as the decision is announced and an incensed Tapia is ushered from the ring by security.

Matthysse-Molina (Απρίλιος 26, 2014, Matthysse KO 11) – Fighting in the night’s co-main event, Matthysse steals the show with a spectacular 11ου-round knockout over Molina in 2014’s Fight of the Year. The Argentine, then ranked No. 1 in the world at 140 λίρες, is hurt in the first and dropped in the second and fifth rounds. But Matthysse comes back with knockdowns in the eighth, 10ου και 11ου rounds to turn back a determined bid by Molina.

Bey-Molina (Ιούλιος 19, 2013, Molina KO 10) – In one of ShoBox: The New Generation’s most unforgettable rounds, Molina comes back from the brink of certain defeat to dramatically knockout then-unbeaten Mickey Bey. Heading into the 10ου και τελευταίο γύρο, Molina was trailing on the three judges’ scorecards by 90-81, 89-82 και 88-83.

New customers who sign up on SHOWTIME.com and the SHOWTIME app before May 3 can take advantage of a recently announced 30-day free trial for the SHOWTIME streaming service, available on SHOWTIME.com and the SHOWTIME app on all supported devices.

ΠΑΝΤΑ ΚΛΕΙΣΙΜΟ ΚΑΙ ΠΡΟΣΩΠΙΚΟ 10 TIME WORLD KICKBOXING CHAMPION CAITLIN FORAN ΑΠΟ ΤΟ ΠΡΟΓΡΑΜΜΑ ΠΟΥ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΜΠΟΥΞΙΟΥ

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο
Με αυτό το κλείδωμα πανδημίας σε πλήρη ισχύ σχεδόν παγκοσμίως, έχουν ήδη ακυρωθεί πολλοί αγώνες, από το μεγαλύτερο, όπως ο Anthony Joshua εναντίον του Kubrat Pulev, μέχρι πολλές μικρές εκδηλώσεις στην αίθουσα.


Ενώ σαφώς το κλείδωμα επηρεάζει όλους όσους ασχολούνται με το αγαπημένο μας άθλημα, με έκανε να σκεφτώ εκείνους που είχαν προετοιμαστεί για το επαγγελματικό τους ντεμπούτο στην πυγμαχία, όπως το σημερινό θύμα, συγγνώμη επισκέπτη, Κάιτλιν Φοράν, που επρόκειτο να κάνει το ντεμπούτο του στο Όρκνεϊ στις 25 Απριλίου.


Ο Caitlin είναι ένας παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Kickboxing δέκα φορές, αρκετά επίτευγμα για κάποιον που είναι ακόμα δίκαιο 19 ετών, ας το παραδεχτούμε για να επιτύχουμε μια τόσο υψηλή θέση σε οποιοδήποτε άθλημα σε τόσο νεαρή ηλικία είναι αρκετά επίτευγμα και χωρίς αμφιβολία η εκτεταμένη αθλητική εμπειρία της θα την ωφελήσει όταν τελειώσει αυτή η πανδημία και κάνει το ντεμπούτο της.


Είχα πραγματικά την ευχαρίστηση να συναντήσω τον Caitlin τον Μάρτιο σε μια εκδήλωση στο Barrow-in-Furness, όπου υποστήριζε τον Paul Peers όταν αμφισβήτησε, και νίκησε, Νικαράγουα Μίλτον Άραουζ για το Επαγγελματικό Συμβούλιο Πυγμαχίας (PBC) Διεθνής τίτλος, και πάντα προοριζόταν να καλύψει το ντεμπούτο της, αλλά με αυτό έβαλε πίσω μέχρι αργότερα μέσα στο έτος λόγω της τρέχουσας κατάστασης αποφάσισε αντ 'αυτού να κανονίσει συνέντευξη μαζί της.


Αρκετά από τη βάφλα μου, ας γνωρίσουμε αυτό το καταπληκτικό έφηβο αστέρι λίγο καλύτερα.




(GDC) Γεια σας Caitlin, ευχαριστώ που αφιερώσατε λίγο χρόνο για να απαντήσετε σε μερικές ερωτήσεις για εμάς. Η πρώτη μου ερώτηση είναι ότι καταλαβαίνεις ότι είσαι ένας παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής Kick Boxer, μπορείτε να πείτε στους αναγνώστες μας λίγο για την καριέρα σας στο Kick Boxing?




(ΚΙ) Άρχισα λοιπόν 2008 στην ηλικία των οκτώ, εκείνη την εποχή έκανα ταχυδακτυλουργίες με πολλά άλλα αθλήματα και δραστηριότητες, αλλά με την πάροδο του χρόνου η προσοχή μου μόλις κολλήθηκε με το kickboxing και έγινε η ζωή μου.


Σίγουρα δεν ήμουν ένας από αυτούς τους ανθρώπους που είχε ταλέντο για το άθλημα. Δεν ήμουν ευέλικτος, Δεν είχα εμπιστοσύνη, αλλά το μόνο πράγμα που έχω κάνει μέχρι σήμερα είναι η αποφασιστικότητα.


Ζώντας σε ένα νησί δεν μπορέσαμε να φτάσουμε σε τόσους διαγωνισμούς όσο θα μπορούσαν να κάνουν άλλοι σύλλογοι στην ηπειρωτική χώρα, πράγμα που σήμαινε ότι γνωρίζαμε ότι έπρεπε να κάνουμε πραγματικά την επιπλέον προσπάθεια για να αντισταθμίσουμε την έλλειψη εμπειρίας.


Επίσης προερχόταν από μια μεγάλη οικογένεια όπου η μητέρα μου ήταν μόνος γονέας 5 Τα παιδιά σήμαινε ότι σπάνια κατάφερα να φύγω για να αγωνιστώ και δεν άρχισα να αγωνίζομαι σωστά έως ότου μπήκα στη μαύρη ζώνη μου 2011.


Στη συνέχεια άρχισα να αγωνίζομαι συνήθως μία φορά το μήνα με το πρώτο μεγάλο να είναι το WKA Scottish πρωτάθλημα στη Γλασκόβη όπου κέρδισα 2x χρυσά, αυτός ήταν ο πρώτος μεγάλος ενισχυτής εμπιστοσύνης μου και συνέχισα να ανταγωνίζομαι πιο συχνά κερδίζοντας περισσότερους τίτλους της Σκωτίας, καθώς και βρετανικούς και ευρωπαϊκούς.


Στη συνέχεια προσκλήθηκα στα πρώτα μου παγκόσμια πρωταθλήματα το 2013 στην Ιταλία όπου ήρθα με χάλκινο μετάλλιο.


Πάντα προτιμούσα τους πόντους να αγωνίζομαι όταν αγωνιζόμουν, που είναι πιο στιλ καράτε, 'ξεκίνα σταμάτα’ στυλ μάχης, αλλά στο δεύτερο παγκόσμιο πρωτάθλημά μου στην Πράγα το 2014, υπήρχε μια γυναίκα χωρίς μάχη για το δαχτυλίδι της Συνεχής ενότητα, έτσι μου ρωτήθηκε αν θα έπαιρνα τον αγώνα.


Δεν ήμουν ποτέ ένας για να απορρίψω έναν αγώνα, οπότε πήρα τον αγώνα και κατέληξα να τον κερδίσω, καθώς και δύο άλλους, οπότε έφυγα με τους τρεις πρώτους παγκόσμιους τίτλους μου και τη νέα μου αγάπη για το ring fighting.


Από 2014 να 2017 Συνέχισα να κερδίζω επτά ακόμη παγκόσμιους τίτλους σε διάφορες χώρες.


Με 2016/17 η καριέρα μου στο kickboxing ξεκίνησε πραγματικά και έψαχνα να γίνω επαγγελματίας κάποια στιγμή σύντομα, ωστόσο στο τέλος του 2017 Ο προπονητής μου Ryan Reffell πέρασε δυστυχώς, ο οποίος έβαλε τέλος στην καριέρα μου στο kickboxing.


(GDC) Αυτό που σας επηρέασε να αλλάξετε από το Kick Boxing σε Professional Boxing?


(ΚΙ) Όπως ανέφερα προηγουμένως, Δεν ήμουν ποτέ ένα φυσικά ευέλικτο άτομο, οπότε στο kickboxing τα πόδια μου χρησιμοποιήθηκαν κατά κύριο λόγο για ισχυρές κλωτσιές.


Ενώ εκπαιδεύτηκα ακόμα με τον Ryan ως μέρος του Nemesis Kickboxing, στο τέλος του 2015 αποφασίσαμε ότι γινόμουν καλύτερα με τα χέρια μου και άρχισα να σκέφτομαι τη μετάβαση στο μποξ.


Αυτό οδήγησε τον Ryan να ξεκινήσει μαθήματα πυγμαχίας τη Δευτέρα το βράδυ, καθώς και τα μαθήματα kickboxing μέσα στην εβδομάδα.


Μου πρόσφεραν τον πρώτο μου αγώνα τον Σεπτέμβριο με 4 ειδοποίηση ημερών για τον διεθνή τίτλο featherweight UKBC. Πήγα για να κερδίσω τον αγώνα και τον υπερασπίστηκα σε έναν επαναληπτικό αγώνα τον Δεκέμβριο.


2017 ήταν όταν άρχισα να επικεντρώνομαι περισσότερο στο μποξ και λιγότερο στο kickboxing και είχα δύο ακόμη αγώνες, με τον τελευταίο αγώνα στην καριέρα μου χωρίς άδεια να είναι ένας αγώνας τίτλου Five Nations τον Απρίλιο 2017 που έφερε το ρεκόρ μου 4-0-0.


Νόμιζα ότι η καριέρα μου στο μποξ είχε τελειώσει τότε, μέχρι που ο Paul Peers μετακόμισε στο Orkney 2018 και ήρθα σε επαφή μέσω του Facebook, το οποίο στη συνέχεια ξεκίνησε πάλι την προπόνησή μου καθώς έδειξε μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον για την πυγμαχία μου και βοήθησε πάρα πολύ για να πάρει πίσω την αγάπη μου για το άθλημα και έδειξε ότι πίστευε σε μένα που με έκανε πιο σίγουρη στον εαυτό μου και πήρα τον εαυτό μου επιστροφή στην προπόνηση και πάλι πριν από την υπογραφή του επαγγελματικού συμβολαίου μου τον Ιανουάριο του τρέχοντος έτους.


(GDC) Έπρεπε να ξεκινήσετε το επαγγελματικό ντεμπούτο του μποξ στο Όρκνεϊ στις 25 Απριλίου, προφανώς αυτό επαναπρογραμματίζεται λόγω της πανδημίας COVID-19, λοιπόν πρώτα πώς πηγαίνουν οι προετοιμασίες σας?


(ΚΙ) Ναί, ήταν καταστροφικό όταν ξεκίνησαν όλα αυτά, αλλά φροντίζω να παραμείνω όσο πιο δραστήρια μπορώ με καθημερινές ασκήσεις και ασκήσεις στο σπίτι χρησιμοποιώντας τον μικρό χώρο που έχω στο σπίτι.


(GDC) Έχει διατάξει η κυβέρνηση το κλείδωμα είχε επιπτώσεις στις προετοιμασίες σας?


(ΚΙ) Πριν από το κλείδωμα, αρχίζαμε να παίζουμε τουλάχιστον μία ή δύο φορές την εβδομάδα στο κλαμπ και ξεκινήσαμε τη συνεργασία μας με τον Lee Mcallister στο μποξ του Assassin στο Αμπερντίν, προκειμένου να αναμίξουμε τους αγωνιστές των Orkney Boxing Clubs με τους δικούς τους για κάποια φιγούρα τα σαββατοκύριακα..


Το καταφέραμε μόνο μία φορά μέχρι τώρα, καθώς ο καιρός ήταν κακός και τα σκάφη δεν ήταν βέβαιο ότι θα τρέξουν, αλλά σχεδιάζαμε περισσότερα στο προβάδισμα μέχρι την παράσταση.


(GDC) Όταν λήξει το κλείδωμα και ανακοινωθεί η νέα ημερομηνία, ο αντίπαλός σας είναι Carly Mackenzie, ξέρεις πολλά για αυτήν?


(ΚΙ) Ήμουν αρχικά να παλέψω Carly Mackenzie, ωστόσο ο αντίπαλός μου άλλαξε πρόσφατα σε Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Διεθνής Ασημένιος Πρωταθλητής Jamie Bates Wallis. Δεν ξέρω πολλά για τον Jamie να είμαι ειλικρινής, αλλά από αυτό που έχω δει ότι είναι μια ισχυρή ορθόδοξη πυγμάχος με ισχυρή επίθεση και έντονη άμυνα.


Πήρα τον αγώνα γνωρίζοντας ότι θα ήταν μια πρόκληση, ειδικά όταν ήταν ο πρώτος αγώνας μου πίσω 3 χρόνια.
Αποδείχθηκε πρωταθλητής, οπότε για να γίνω πρωταθλητής πρέπει να νικήσω τους πρωταθλητές.


(GDC) Απομακρύνεται από την καριέρα σας μέχρι σήμερα, ποιος είναι ο αγαπημένος σου μπόξερ, αρσενικό ή θηλυκό, και γιατί?


(ΚΙ) Ο αγαπημένος μου μπόξερ μέχρι σήμερα πρέπει να είναι η Katie Taylor. Έχει διαδραματίσει τεράστιο ρόλο στην επίτευξη του μποξ των γυναικών στο σημείο που είναι σήμερα και είναι πραγματική έμπνευση για οποιονδήποτε αθλητή εκεί έξω, καθώς έχει δείξει ότι οποιοδήποτε εμπόδιο μπορεί να ξεπεραστεί αν θέλετε πραγματικά κάτι.


(GDC) Στο ίδιο πνεύμα, που είναι ο αγαπημένος σας αγώνας όλων των εποχών, και γιατί?


(ΚΙ) Είναι τόσο δύσκολο να επιλέξεις έναν αγαπημένο αγώνα, αλλά πρέπει να είναι ο πιο πρόσφατος αγώνας της Katie Taylor εναντίον της Christina Linardatou καθώς συνέχισε το ρεκόρ νίκης της και πρόσθεσε τον παγκόσμιο τίτλο WBO Super-Lightweight στη συνεχώς αυξανόμενη λίστα επιτυχιών της. Συνήθως ο Taylor θα είχε κολλήσει στον αγώνα, πυροβολισμό πυροβολισμό μετά από πυροβολισμό. Ωστόσο, κράτησε προς τα έξω αυτή τη φορά πυγμαχία έξυπνη και δεν σπαταλά ενέργεια.


(GDC) Σας ευχαριστώ που αφιερώσατε χρόνο για να απαντήσετε στις ερωτήσεις μου, επιτέλους υπάρχει κάποιος που θα θέλατε να αναφέρετε σχετικά με το επερχόμενο ντεμπούτο σας?


(ΚΙ) Θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω τον χορηγό μου, Gary Sutherland στο GSRI, Ο Steven Logie στο Strength 101 για να με κρατήσει σε φόρμα και τον Paul Peers για ό, τι έχει κάνει τον τελευταίο ενάμισι χρόνο για να ανακτήσω την εμπιστοσύνη μου και να ξαναζωντανέψω την αγάπη μου για τον μποξ. Θα ήθελα επίσης να φωνάξω σε όλους τους παλιούς συμπαίκτες μου στο Nemesis kickboxing Academy και στο Nemesis Boxing Gym χωρίς αυτούς, δεν θα ήμουν εκεί που είμαι σήμερα.

Any boxing personnel (μπόξερ, εκπαιδευτές, cut-men, κ.λπ.) who are independent contractors and live in New York or New Jersey may apply for monetary assistance by filling out a request form posted atwww.NYBoxingHOF.org καιwww.Ring8tv,με, or request a form atfightpublicist@gmail.com to be directly emailed.

All applicants must be licensed (NYSAC, NJSAC or USA Boxing) and forms must be submitted to NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy by email (depcomish@aol.com) or call him (1.516.313.2304) with the required information.

“Gyms are closed, and boxing has been suspended indefinitely,», δήλωσε ο πρόεδρος του NYSBHOF, Μπομπ Ντάφι. “Most boxing trainers, cut-men and other boxing personnel are independent contractors, so they do not have any income right now during this pandemic. They have families to support, rent to pay, food to put on the table, and other critical expenses. We want to help them by establishing this fund. We’re not in the position to give each applicant a large stipend,  but we are able to provide a small payment to temporarily help them a little bit. We’re committed to doing this for the month of April, at the very least, and then we’ll will revisit extending payments until boxing returns, as long as there is money available in this fund. It’s the right thing to do!"

“Ring 8 is furthering our goals to assist boxers and boxing people in New York during this crisis,” Ring 8 president Charlie Norkus, Jr. added. “It has been our mission since the very beginning. We are pleased to join the New York Boxing Hall of Fame in this endeavor.”

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

ΚΛΙΚ ΕΔΩ TO WATCH THE SERIES DEBUT FEATURING HISTORY-MAKING FEMALE WORLD CHAMPION CLARESSA SHIELDS

Salita Προσφορές, boxing’s leading promotions company, announced today the launch of their new YouTube series “Train Like a Boxer,” featuring Company Founder Dmitriy Salita and Olympic Gold Medalist and multi-weight world champion Claressa Shields, as well as other premier fighters under the Salita banner including Otto Wallin, Shohjahon Ergashev and Kolbeinn Kristinsson.

Starting with a new webisode Αυτή την Τετάρτη, Απρίλιος 1, 2020, on the Salita Promotions and Claressa Shields YouTube channels, “Train Like a Boxer” will seek to motivate people to remain active during quarantine by providing fitness advice and boxing-related routines perfectly suited for individuals with minimal equipment and limited space to exercise.

Before becoming boxing’s newest promotional powerhouse with an impressive stable of world champions, top contenders and blazing new prospects, Dmitriy Salita spent years training in some of the most recognized gyms in the sport’s history as a New York State Golden Gloves champion and professional top contender.

“During this worldwide Corona crisis, this series will help boxing fans with their physical and mental state by engaging with our fighters in these fun and healthy activities,” said Salita. “A boxer’s workout is perfect for these tough times because it is done in the isolation of training camp. Our fighters want to give back and connect with fans worldwide during this ‘isolation training camp’ period and soon together we are all going to enjoy the great victory of overcoming Covid 19.”

Three-division and current WBC and WBO Super Welterweight world champion Shields, who saw her bid to become the first boxer in the four-belt era to be crowned an undisputed world champion in two weight divisions against also unbeaten IBF Super Welterweight Champion Marie-Eve Dicaire officially postponed last week, says she hopes these videos help everyone stay physically and mentally fit during these trying times.

“With all that the world is going through right now, I want to help people in any way I can to feel better while staying at home until this pandemic is over,” said Shields. “These videos — even 20 να 40 minutes a day — can help. Let’s stay strong together!"

SHOWTIME SPORTS® TO RE-AIR HISTORIC ISRAEL VAZQUEZ vs. RAFAEL MARQUEZ TRILOGY SATURDAY, ΜΑΡΤΙΟΥ 28 ON SHOWTIME®

Φωτο: Tom Casino / ώρα για σόου



Watch the 2007 Γύρος της Χρονιάς ΕΔΩ



ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ - Μάρτιος 26, 2020 - SHOWTIME Sports will delve into its rich archive of historic boxing events to re-air the epic Israel Vázquez vs. Rafael Márquez trilogy this Saturday, Μάρτιος 28 στο 10 μ.μ. ET / PT σε SHOWTIME. The telecasts will also be available via the SHOWTIME streaming service and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.



The fierce Mexican rivals squared off in three consecutive award-winning fights which aired live on SHOWTIME in 2007 και 2008 before meeting for a fourth and final time in 2010. The first three bouts were all contested with the WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship on the line.



Described by the network’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood as, "Μια έκρηξη της καλλιτεχνικής κτηνωδία,” Vázquez-Márquez I was a unanimous selection for 2007 Fight of the Year and left the fans and fighters clamouring for a rematch. The two warriors delivered yet again in their second meeting just five months later in another bloody slugfest that produced a Round of the Year winner and a result that demanded a rubber match. Vázquez-Márquez III, προσβαλλόμενη μόνο 363 ημέρες από την πρώτη τους συνάντηση, was the only match in the rivalry to go the distance and was named the 2008 Καταπολέμηση της Χρονιάς.



During Saturday night’s re-airing of the trilogy, combat sports analysts Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell will host a live episode of the duo’s popular digital talk show, MORNING KOMBAT WITH LUKE THOMAS AND BRIAN CAMPBELL στο Morning Kombat YouTube Channel. Thomas and Campbell will watch and react to the fights in real time and conduct a Q&A session with fans.



The Vazquez-Marquez series was called by the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® announce team, all four members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame: host and play-by-play from Steve Albert, popular ringside analyst Al Bernstein, Emmy Award winning reporter Jim Gray and world renowned ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr.



“We all knew the first fight would be great, and it more than lived up to expectations,” said Bernstein, who called all four fights. “The second fight was exciting, and when fight three came, I didn’t think they could top Nos. 1 και 2, but they did just that. It’s one of the top five fights I’ve ever announced or seen. The ebb and flow was tremendous, and you almost felt it didn’t matter who ended up getting the decision because they both had been so great. I can’t admire two boxers more than these two men.”



Fans new to SHOWTIME® who sign up through the recently announced 30-day free trial before May 3 can watch these fights, the network’s original series, documentaries, specials and movies online via the SHOWTIME streaming service on SHOWTIME.com or the SHOWTIME app, available on all supported devices.

Raskin and Mulvaney Examine The State of Boxing And What May Lie Ahead

Listen to SHOWTIME BOXINGΕΔΩ

ΤΙ: This week’s installment of SHOWTIME BOXING WITH ERIC RASKIN AND KIERAN MULVANEY podcast features an interview with Stephen Espinoza, Πρόεδρος, Sports and Event Programming, Showtime Networks Inc. In the new episode, veteran boxing reporters Raskin and Mulvaney discuss a wide-range of topics with Espinoza, including the current state of boxing and what may lie ahead for the network’s boxing programming once the current hiatus comes to an end. For the full interview, click on the following link: https://s.sho.com/3bkvFp1.

Below are excerpts from the interview with Espinoza:

On SHOWTIME Sports’ interim content plan…

Espinoza – “It is therapeutic to look forward to and make plans for things that are more reflective of normal life for us, απολύτως. Our goal is to fill that gap with a lot of the stuff we have. We have a deep library of documentaries and we are definitely surfacing a lot more of the archive bothON DEMAND and we will look at it on linear more regularly.”

On what lies ahead when boxing resumes…

Espinoza – “It’s going to be a wild ride. There’s a lot to be made up. There are a lot of fighters that need fights to happen, and I think we could be in for a pretty interesting period of time where there’s a lot of activity in a relatively short window … I think we’re going to see an action-packed, jam-packed schedule whenever we return, whether it’s in three, six or nine months – and we may see people taking a different tact on taking fights.”

On what fight you wish you could go back in time to attend live …

Espinoza – “Chavez vs. Haugen on February 20,1993 for the WBC Light Welterweight Title at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City… It wasn’t a great fight or great opponent but it’s my pick because of the legendary status that fight has within Showtime’s hallways. Υπήρχαν 132,000 άνθρωποι παρόντες, you had Chavez taking the presidential helicopter to events [και] you had Don King getting robbed on his way from the airport to the hotel as soon he got into town. There were so many things around the atmosphere. It was one of those legendary events I would’ve loved to be at for the atmosphere.”

The weekly SHOWTIME BOXING podcast features Raskin and Mulvaney diving deep into the boxing and SHOWTIME boxing events. New episodes are release in all major podcast platforms every Monday, including Radio.com.
