An Réiteoir Finscéalach Mickey Vann Chun Imeacht Tionscnaimh na hAlban MBC a eagrú Dé Sathairn seo chugainn

Beidh réiteoir Craobh na Trotting Cruinne legendary Mickey Vann ag déanamh ceann de na turais idirnáisiúnta is giorra aige i gceann tamaill fhada, an deireadh seachtaine seo chugainn, nuair a rialaíonn sé an chéad Choimisiún Dornálaíochta i Málta (MBC) imeacht ceadaithe in Albain, chuir an ócáid ​​Stewart Allan chun cinn sa Rivals Gym i Wishaw Dé Sathairn 25ú Aibreán 2015.

 

Uisce, who has been the MBC’s chief referee since 2013, has been officiating for close to forty years, the first bout he refereed was Eddie Smith versus Joe Jackson at the Anglo American Sporting Club in Manchester on the 11úDeireadh Fómhair 1976.

 

It would be some seven years later before Vann refereed his first domestic Championship bout, the BBBofC Central Area Featherweight Title fight between Steve Pollard and Steve Farnsworth at the Tiffany’s Nightclub in Hull on the 29ú Márta 1983.

 

Three years later Vann refereed his first International Championship contest, the Commonwealth Lightweight Title fight between Zimbabwe’s Langton Tinago and Australia’s Graeme Brooke at the Granada Studios in Manchester on 23rd Lúnasa 1986.

 

With numerous British, Commonwealth and European title contests under his belt on the 8ú Meitheamh 1990 Rinne Vann breithiúnas ar a chéad chorn Craobh an Domhain, troid teidil Íosta Meáchan Domhanda WBC idir Hideyuki Ohashi na Seapáine agus Napa Kiatwanchai na Téalainne i dTóiceo, An tSeapáin.

 

Go dtí seo tá Vann tar éis céad daichead a trí Idirnáisiúnta a mheas, Comórtais teidil Idir-Ilchríochacha agus Domhanda do na hEagraíochtaí Ceadaithe Domhanda, mar WBC, WBO, IBF, WBU srl chomh maith le líon níos airde fós Eorpach, Chomhlathais, Troidann teideal baile na Breataine agus na hÉireann le linn a shlí bheatha ocht gcéad ochtó a dó go dtí seo.

 

Is é an ceann is déanaí de na babhtaí seo ná troid teidil Cruiserweight Idir-Ilchríochach WBO idir Oleksandr Usyk na hÚcráine agus Andry Knyazev na Rúise, a bhí ar siúl i Kiev díreach an deireadh seachtaine seo caite.

 

Ina theannta sin tá Vann tar éis céad seachtó a trí chomórtas Craobh a mheas ó shin 1978, ag tabhairt iomlán a ghairme feidhmiúcháin go míle dochreidte caoga a cúig comórtas, is oth linn an comórtas míle caoga sé sin a dhéanamh má chuirimid an ócáid ​​atá le teacht an deireadh seachtaine seo san áireamh.

 

Go gairid tar éis filleadh ó Kiev, Labhair an t-eifidrín Vann go hachomair faoina shlí bheatha agus faoin imeacht atá le teacht in Albain ar an Satharn.

 

“Cad is féidir liom a rá nár thuig mé gur mheas mé go raibh go leor troideanna ann,

 

Is é an troid is mó a dhéanfainn i gcuimhne dom go nádúrtha ná Lennox Lewis agus Frank Bruno i bPáirc Airm Caerdydd, ba é sin an stair.

 

Ach rinne siad tagairt don oiread sin troideanna i gcuimhne, cá dtosaím, Shea Neary agus Mickey Ward, anois ba troid iontach é sin.

 

Is cuimhin liom roinnt blianta ó shin, cosúil le Jean-Marc Renard i gcoinne Farid Benredjeb, OH cén cogadh a bhí ann, chríochnaigh an bheirt acu san ospidéal.

 

Another memorable fight was Cassius Boloyi against Phillip Ndou, It was a war, an cogadh iomlán

 

They were two South Africans but from different tribes, they wanted me to referee it, not a South African, which was very much appreciated.

 

I remember refereeing the WBC mandatory Lightweight title fight, between Leavander Johnson and Miguel Angel Gonzalez, in a bullring, which was an experience.

 

I refereed in America Jorge Paez and Angel Manfredy, that was a terrific fight, in fact refereed three or four times in America.

 

I think if you count them all I think I refereed in thirty nine different countries, I left school at seven and went back at thirteen and left again at fourteen and I didn’t know at that time that there were that many countries in the world. Ní raibh mé, go hionraic.

 

I just enjoy what I do, tá a fhios agat go raibh mé sa Rúis, An Airgintín, An tSeapáin, ar fud, Fuair ​​mé ar ais ó Kiev.

 

Tagann daoine suas le haghaidh grianghraf, fiú amháin i Kiev, le Mickey an rinceoir agus ansin ligeann siad orthu go bhfuil tú ag bogadh thart, tá sé go hálainn.

 

Piocaim rud ar bith i ndáiríre, Ní roghnaíonn mé ach na troideanna móra a thaitin liom.

 

Cháiligh mé mar réiteoir grád réalta i 1978 agus táim fós ag dul, Tá na céadta troideanna déanta agam faoin am sin, ní post é i ndáiríre, is taitneamh mar sin é.

 

Ní trodaire proifisiúnta an-mhaith mé, Amaitéarach maith a bhí ionam, Bhí seasca sé troid agam mar amaitéarach agus chaill mé naoi gcinn déag, ach bhíodh trí throid in aghaidh an lae agat sna Craobhchomórtais, throid tú ar maidin, bhuaigh tú gur throid tú tráthnóna agus má bhuaigh tú gur throid tú san oíche chun dul tríd go dtí an chéad bhabhta eile, i gCraobh an Airm agus sna clubanna buachaillí saghas ruda, sin a rinneamar go léir.

 

Mar pro tá ceithre throid dhéag agam ach chaill mé naoi gcinn, ach bhain mé taitneamh as, Tá áthas orm gur chas mé pro agus tá áthas orm gur throid mé, Tá áthas orm gur throid mé amaitéarach agus proifisiúnta agus chaill mé é nuair a chuaigh mé ar scor agus theastaigh uaim rud éigin a dhéanamh agus mhol mo bhainisteoir go réiteodh mé, Bhí mé ag iarraidh traenáil ach Tommy Miller, dúirt mo bhainisteoir liom ‘Jesus Mick cad a d’fhéadfá a mhúineadh d’éinne’, mar sin dúirt sé liom gur mhaith leat a bheith i do réiteoir, mar sin chuir mé isteach air agus thóg sé dhá bhliain orm agus cháiligh mé.

 

Bainim taitneamh as gach nóiméad de agus bhí roinnt uaireanta níos fearr ná a chéile, i ndáiríre ba ghnách leo fuath a thabhairt dom in Albain, cheap siad gur fuath liom na hAlban. Chuala mé é seo ar an raidió go minic.

 

Inseoidh Alex Morrison duit, cheap sé go raibh fuath agam d’Albanaigh, Ní raibh mé, ach ní raibh an chuma orthu riamh go bhfaigheadh ​​siad an fíorasc uaim, mar sin tá sé íorónach go leor Dé Sathairn is é tionscnóir na hAlban agus dornálaithe na hAlban a d’iarr an seó seo orm.

 

Bhí an-spraoi agam i gcónaí ansin agus is Albanach an trodaire is fearr liom riamh, Ken Buchanan, mar sin is deas an rud é go dteastaíonn uathu go mbeinn ann don chéad imeacht ceadaithe ag MBC ansin, Ní féidir liom fanacht. "

 

Beidh Mickey Vann mar mholtóir do Sandy Robb i gcoinne Mathew Ellis agus Scott Allan i gcoinne Isaac Quaye a bheidh i gceannas ar an Stewart Allan (Iomaitheoirí Arduithe Céime) imeacht ag an Rivals Gym i Wishaw, Albain ar an Satharn 25ú Aibreán 2015.

Miguel Cotto: “All I have to say is I’ve been here for the past two days and I’m eager to get back to Los Angeles and get into another training session and get back to New York on June 6. All I have to worry about is my mindset during the fight. I know Daniel is a great fighter and I’m going to do my best as always to bring a good and exciting fight to all the fans. See you all on June 6.”

 

Daniel Geale: “I’m as excited as you can ever imagine. This is a great moment for me. Agus teacht Meitheamh 6, it’s going to be a hell of a fight and I can’t wait to walk away with the titles.”

 

Michael Yormark, Uachtarán & Chief of Branding and Strategy of Roc Nation: “Today is a historic day for Roc Nation and our boxing division. Muhammed Ali once said ‘he who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.’ At Roc Nation, we decided to launch our boxing division in August of 2014. We knew we were taking a risk. We knew that we were entering a sport that was established with a long history in a deep-rooted culture. It took courage, but frankly Roc Nation is nothing if not courageous…we’re committed to promoting the biggest fights and the biggest fighters. Now just a few short months later, we stand here with one of the best fighters in the world, announcing a world championship bout inside the new mecca of boxing, Barclays Center, and broadcast on the standard bearer for live boxing telecasts, HBO. It took courage and risk to get here but this is a proud moment for all of us.”

 

Hector Soto, Promotions Miguel Cotto: “Miguel Cotto is back and he’s in his second home in New York. As everyone knows, it’s been a tradition for the past couple of years that Miguel fights on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, so it’s an honor to fight during that time again. Ar Meitheamh 6, Miguel Cotto will defend his Middleweight WBC Championship against a tough opponent, Daniel Geale. Have no doubt, it will be a great fight at Barclays Center and everyone will enjoy the fight especially the Puerto Ricans. Miguel Cotto will be ready, will train as hard as always and be ready for the challenge Daniel Geale brings.”

 

Gary Shaw, Gary Shaw Productions: “If you look at Daniel’s fight against Sturm, when we went to Germany and lifted the belt and became the world champion, that’s the Daniel Geale you’re going to see on Meitheamh 6. You’re going to see a great fight. Miguel Cotto is a great fighter. Daniel understands that and we have a great deal of respect for him, ach ar Meitheamh 6on HBO at Barclays Center, it will be a whole new night. It will be a night when Daniel Geale takes the belt back to Australia.”

Provodnikov puts on heroic effort in Matthysse bout; “An Rocky Siberian” once again shows why he is boxing’s most exciting fighter

Photo Creidmheasa: Emily Harney-HoganPhotos/GoldenBoyPromotions/BannerPromotions

Philadelphia (Aibreán 20, 2015)— Seo caite Dé Sathairn oíche, boxing fans witnessed a classic bout that saw Lucas Matthysse eek out a close majority decision over Ruslan Provodnikov i 12 round -junior welterweight clash in front of a sold out crowd at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, Nua-Eabhrac.
An bout, which was televised by HBO Boxing After Dark, has already jumped to the head of the list for 2015 An comhrac na Bliana.
Much of the post fight talk has centered around the courage of Provodnikov, as he fought eleven of the twelve rounds with a severely cut left eye that was due to an accidental headbutt. With blood streaming down the left side of his face, and his eye closing, Provodnikov fought heroically to come back and hurt Matthysse several times during the bout, and in round eleven he landed a left hook that nearly sent Matthysse to the canvas.
Many at ringside, including The Bleacher Report, HBO’s Harold Lederman, Steve Kim of UCNlive.com, & Dan Rafael of ESPN.com, scored the bout even at 114-114.
I could not be any more proud of Ruslan, said Banner Promotions Promotions Artie Pelullo.
Dé Sathairn night showed that he is the toughest and most compelling fighter in boxing. Dé Sathairn fight also solidified that Ruslan is the most television friendly fighter in the sport hands down, and there will be many more big fights for Ruslan in the near future.

 

147-POUND WEIGHT CLASS TAKES CENTER STAGE AGAIN ON SATURDAY, BEALTAINE 2 AT THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
In Another Classic Showdown

In The Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (Aibreán 20, 2015) — It has often been said thatas the heavyweight division goes, so goes boxing,” but that has not always been the case and, i ndáiríre, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19ú century. I Dornálaíocht, German author Bertram Job’s epic, 420-page coffee-table dissertation on all aspects of the sweet science, he writes that, “Elegance is the trademark of the slim and nimble stars in the under 147-pound weight class that has attracted insiders and admirers of beauty like no other.

 

And so it is with what will be another benchmark entry in the rich history of the division when, arBealtaine 2 ag MGM Grand i Las Vegas, live on pay-per-view, welterweight curadh Floyd “Airgead” Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) takes on fellow titlist Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 Kos) in a long-anticipated unification showdown that will be the richest prizefight in the sport’s history, and which has drawn comparisons to some of the premier matchups in a weight class imprinted with that elegant trademark to which Job referred.

 

Although Pacquiao, the only fighter ever to win world championships in eight weight classes, and Mayweather, who has reigned in five weight classes, have not campaigned solely or even mostly as welterweights, it is hardly a surprise that the most important intersection of their remarkable careers comes in the same division for which so many of boxing’s greatest legends are primarily known.

 

An “gold standardto which all welterweights aspire remains the late, great Sugar Ray Robinson. Born Walker Smith Jr., the skinny kid who had never fought in a sanctioned bout at any level was a tag-along with coach George Gainford to an amateur tournament in Kingston, N.Y.. Asked if he had a flyweight he wished to enter, Gainford was about to say no when Smith tugged on his sleeve and said, “I’ll fight.As it turned out, Gainford had an AAU cardyou needed one to be certified as a non-professionalin the name of Ray Robinson, one of his boxers who had given up the sport. Smith/Robinson won a four-round decision, agus, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 i 1940. De réir 1951, he was 128-1-2 le 84 knockout victories. Although he is also remembered for winning the middleweight title five times, Robinson never lost as a welterweight, winning so often and so emphatically that the legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, was moved to observe that, “He had everything. Boxing skills, cumhacht punching, a great chin, mental strength. There was nothing he couldn’t do.

 

Robinson also had an outsized ego, which perhaps is a necessary component to any great fighter’s mental makeup. Even a trace of doubt in one’s own ability is not conducive to success in the ring. Once, when asked about hisgolf game,” Muhammad Ali, who didn’t play golf, responded, “I’m the best, greatest of ’em all. I just haven’t played yet.

 

Mayweather certainly brings that aura of invincibility to his work, and maybe not just because he has yet to lose as a professional. I 2013, a dúirt sé, “Of course I feel unbeatable. I’m the best. I’m not going into any fight figuring that I’m beatable. I want to make a legacy for myself as the greatest fighter who ever entered the ring.

 

Pacquiao, while perhaps not as verbose, is no less secure in his own belief system. It is those heaping measures of talent and swagger that make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao a must-see event. Which of these outstanding fighters can make the other bend to his will? Who will have his name written in larger print in the big book of welterweights?

 

The International Boxing Hall of Fame has inducted 23 fighters who were, at one time or another, welterweight champions. In addition to Robinson, those whose plaques grace the hallowed hall include Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Oileán na Tríonóide, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen BASILIO, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Kid” Lewis andMysteriousBilly Smith. Mayweather and Pacquiao are of course assured of joining their ranks as soon as they become eligible to go onto the ballot.

 

The lead-up to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao has generated no shortage of comparisons to past welterweight clashes that are notable for the classic nature of those bouts, the widespread public interest attendant to them, or both.

 

Is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao more likely to be a repeat of, rá, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, i Montreal? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, ar Meán Fómhair. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14ú-round TKO at Caesars Palace? Trinidad’s controversial majority decision over De La Hoya in their Sept. 18, 1999, unification showdown at the Mandalay Bay? Or will it make its own mark in such a distinctive way that no comparisons can or should be drawn?

 

When it comes to unforgettable welterweight bouts, by now it should be obvious that anything and everything is possible. Mayweather and Pacquiao will make history, and add to it, by attempting to bend destiny each to their own purpose.
