Legendary Referee Mickey Vann To Officiate MBC’s Inaugural Scottish Event This Saturday

Mag-iwan ng komento

Legendary globe trotting Championship referee Mickey Vann will be making one of his shortest international journeys in a long while, this coming weekend, when he officiates the first Malta Boxing Commission (MBC) sanctioned event in Scotland, the Stewart Allan promoted event at the Rivals Gym in Wishaw on Saturday 25ika Abril 2015.

 

Vann, 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 11ikaOktubre 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 29ika Marso 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 Agosto 1986.

 

With numerous British, Commonwealth and European title contests under his belt on the 8ika Hunyo 1990 Vann refereed his first World Championship bout, the WBC World Minimumweight title fight between Japan’s Hideyuki Ohashi and Thailand’s Napa Kiatwanchai in Tokyo, Hapon.

 

To date Vann has refereed one hundred and forty three International, Inter-Continental and World title contests for the World Sanctioning Organisations, such as WBC, WBO, IBF, WBU etc as well as an even higher number of European, Komonwelt, British and Irish domestic title fights during his eight hundred and eighty two bout career to date.

 

The most recent of these bouts being the WBO Inter-Continental Cruiserweight title fight between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and Russian Andry Knyazev, which took place in Kiev just last weekend.

 

In addition Vann has also judged one hundred and seventy three Championship contests since 1978, taking his officiating career total to an incredible one thousand and fifty five contests, sorry make that one thousand and fifty six contests if we include the upcoming event this weekend.

 

Shortly after returning from Kiev, the effervescent Vann spoke briefly about his career and the upcoming event he is to officiate in Scotland sa Sabado.

 

“What can I say I didn’t realise I’d refereed that many fights,

 

My most memorable fight would naturally be Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno at Cardiff Arms Park, that was history.

 

But have refereed so many memorable fights, where do I start, Shea Neary and Mickey Ward, now that was a great fight.

 

There’s some from years ago I can remember, like Jean-Marc Renard against Farid Benredjeb, oh what a war that was, they both ended up in hospital.

 

Another memorable fight was Cassius Boloyi against Phillip Ndou, It was a war, isang ganap na digmaan

 

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. Ako ay hindi, matapat.

 

I just enjoy what I do, you know I’ve been to Russia, Arhentina, Hapon, all over, I just got back from Kiev.

 

People come up for photographs, even in Kiev, with Mickey the dancer and then they pretend they are you moving about, it’s lovely.

 

I pick out nothing really, I just pick out what has been the big fights that I’ve enjoyed.

 

I qualified as a star grade referee in 1978 and I’m still going, I’d done hundreds of fights by then, it’s not a job really, it’s just enjoyment as such.

 

I wasn’t a very good pro fighter, I was a pretty good amateur, I had sixty six fights as an amateur and lost nineteen, but you used to have three fights a day in the Championships, you fought in the morning, won that you fought in the afternoon and if you won that you fought at night to get through to the next round, in the Army Championships and the boys clubs sort of thing, that’s what we all did.

 

As a pro I have fourteen fights but I lost nine, but I enjoyed it, I’m glad I turned pro and I’m glad I fought, I’m glad I fought amateur and pro and I missed it when I retired and I wanted to do something and my manager suggested I referee, I wanted to coach but Tommy Miller, my manager said to me ‘Jesus Mick what could you teach anyone’, so he said to me you want to be a referee, so I put in for it and it took me two years and I qualified.

 

I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and some times have been better than others, in fact they used to hate me in Scotland, they thought I hated the Scots. I heard this on the radio many times.

 

Alex Morrison will tell you, he thought I was hater of Scotsmen, Ako ay hindi, just they never seemed to get the verdict from me, so it’s quite ironic that ito Sabado it’s the Scottish promoter and the Scottish boxers that asked for me for this show.

 

I’ve always had great fun there and my all time favourite fighter is a Scotsman, Ken Buchanan, so it’s really nice that they want me to be there for the first MBC sanctioned event there, I can’t wait.”

 

Mickey Vann will be the referee for both the Sandy Robb versus Mathew Ellis and Scott Allan versus Isaac Quaye that co-headline the Stewart Allan (Karibal Mga Promosyon) event at the Rivals Gym in Wishaw, Scotland sa Sabado 25ika Abril 2015.

 

Mga Ticket napresyuhan £ 30 at £ 40 ay magagamit direct mula sa alinman sa mga boxers pagkuha bahagi, o tumawag sa Stewart 07711 725257.

Newark, NJ (Abril 21, 2015)— John “Apollo Kidd” Thompson has begun preparations for his Mayo 22 Boxcino final bout against Brandon Adams. (17-1, 12 KO’s).
Ang away ay magaganap sa Biyernes, Mayo 22 sa Corona, California and will live on ESPNBiyernes Night Fights.
Thompson is in Virginia, training under Kay Koroma and he is looking to win the prestigious tournament against Thompson in the 10-round bout at the Omega Products International Outdoor Arena in Corona, California.
Thompson (16-1, 5 KO’s) is coming off a 8-round split decision over previously undefeated Stanyslav Skorokhod on April 10 sa Bethlehem, PA.
“I outboxed the guy,” Said Thompson. I focused on what I needed to focus on and that was using my jab. I also focused on not to exchange and bang with him and I did a pretty good job of that.”
“As well as I fought, I do not think that was even my best win.”
Now he looks towards Adams. Adams of Los Angeles has experience in the Boxcino finals as his only loss was to Willie Monroe Jr. in last year’s Middleweight finals.

Pindutin ang conference quotes, LITRATO & VIDEO

Sa Huwebes, Abril 16, Roc Nation Sports and Miguel Cotto Promotions hosted a press conference at The 40/40 Club in Manhattan to announce the next highly anticipated battle for Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KO’s), the reigning WBC Middleweight and Ring Magazine World Champion and the first native of Puerto Rico to become world champion in four different weight classes. Sa Hunyo 6, 2015, Cotto will defend his titles against former Two-Time World Champion Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KO’s) of Australia in a fight that will be televised live on HBO from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

 

Here’s what the participants had to say…

 

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. At dumating Hunyo 6, it’s going to be a hell of a fight and I can’t wait to walk away with the titles.”

 

Michael Yormark, Pangulo & 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, Miguel Cotto Promotions: “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. Sa Hunyo 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 Hunyo 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, ngunit sa Hunyo 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.”

 

Brett Yormark, CEO of Barclays Center and the Brooklyn Nets: “Boxing is a big part of what we do at Barclays Center. We’re very passionate about it and very deeply committed. This will be our 13ika big night of Brooklyn Boxing in just two and a half years and I am proud to say that Barclays Center is the new mecca of boxing in this country. Miguel Cotto has a storied history in New York, so we are delighted that he is calling Barclays Center his new home in this city.”

Las Vegas (Abril 20, 2015) — Ito ay madalas na sinabi na “habang pumapasok ang weightweight division, ganon din ang boxing,” ngunit hindi palaging ganito ang kaso at, sa katunayan, maaaring hindi man maging wasto kapag tiningnan mula sa isang komprehensibong pananaw mula pa noong huli 19ika siglo. Sa Boksing, Epiko ng may-akdang Aleman na si Bertram Job, 420-pahina ng disertasyon ng coffee-table sa lahat ng aspeto ng matamis na agham, siya ang nagsusulat nun, “Ang Elegance ay trademark ng mga payat at maliksi na mga bituin sa ilalim ng 147-pound weight class na nakakaakit ng mga tagaloob at tagahanga ng kagandahan na walang katulad.”

 

At ganoon din ang magiging isa pang benchmark entry sa mayamang kasaysayan ng paghahati kung kailan, saMayo 2 at MGM Grand sa Las Vegas, mabuhay sa pay-per-view, welterweyt mananalo Floyd “Pera” Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) tumatagal sa kapwa titlist Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 Kos) sa isang pinakahihintay na showdown ng pag-iisa na ang magiging pinakamayamang premyo sa kasaysayan ng isport, 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.

 

Ang “gold standard” to which all welterweights aspire remains the late, great Sugar Ray Robinson. Born Walker Smith Jr., ang payat na bata na hindi pa nakikipaglaban sa isang parusa sa anumang antas ay isang tag-kasama si coach George Gainford sa isang amateur na paligsahan sa Kingston, N.Y.. Tinanong kung mayroon siyang isang flyweight nais niyang pumasok, Sasabihin sana ni Gainford na hindi nang kunin ni Smith ang kanyang manggas at sinabi, “Lalaban ako.” Ang kinalabasan, Si Gainford ay mayroong isang AAU card – kailangan mo ng isa upang ma-sertipikahan bilang isang hindi propesyonal – sa pangalan ni Ray Robinson, isa sa kanyang boksingero na sumuko sa isport. Nanalo si Smith / Robinson ng isang apat na bilog na desisyon, at, bagaman walang nakakaalam noon, kaya ipinanganak ang isang alamat.

 

Si Robinson ay 85-0 bilang isang baguhan bago maging pro sa 19 sa 1940. Sa pamamagitan ng 1951, siya ay 128-1-2 may 84 mga tagumpay sa knockout. Bagaman naalala rin siya sa pagkapanalo ng titulong middleweight ng limang beses, Hindi kailanman natalo si Robinson bilang welterweight, panalo nang madalas at napakahigpit na ang maalamat na tagapagsanay, Eddie Futch, ay nagalaw upang obserbahan iyon, “Nasa kanya ang lahat. Mga kasanayan sa boksing, pagsuntok kapangyarihan, isang mahusay na baba, lakas ng kaisipan. Wala siyang magawa.”

 

Si Robinson ay nagkaroon din ng isang outsized ego, na marahil ay isang kinakailangang sangkap sa pampaganda ng kaisipan ng anumang dakilang manlalaban. Kahit na ang isang bakas ng pag-aalinlangan sa sariling kakayahan ay hindi nakakatulong sa tagumpay sa singsing. Minsan, nang tanungin tungkol sa kanya “larong golf,” Muhammad Ali, sino ang hindi naglaro ng golf, sumagot, “Ako ang pinakamagaling, pinakadakila sa kanilang lahat. Hindi pa lang ako naglalaro.”

 

Tiyak na pinagsasama ni Mayweather ang aura ng kawalan ng pagkatalo sa kanyang trabaho, at marahil hindi lang dahil siya ay natalo pa bilang isang propesyonal. Sa 2013, sinabi niya, “Syempre pakiramdam ko hindi matatalo. Ako ang pinakamagaling. Hindi ako pupunta sa anumang pag-aaway sa pag-uunawa na ako ay matalo. Nais kong gumawa ng isang pamana para sa aking sarili bilang pinakadakilang manlalaban na pumasok sa ring.”

 

Pacquiao, habang marahil ay hindi bilang pandiwa, ay hindi gaanong ligtas sa kanyang sariling paniniwala system. Ang mga sukat ng talento at swagger na iyon ang gumagawa ng Mayweather vs.. Isang dapat na makita na kaganapan. Alin sa mga natitirang mandirigmang ito ang maaaring gawin ang iba pang yumuko sa kanyang kalooban? Sino ang isusulat ang kanyang pangalan sa mas malaking pag-print sa malaking libro ng welterweights?

 

Ipinasok ang International Boxing Hall of Fame 23 mga mandirigma na, sa isang oras o iba pa, welterweight champion. Bilang karagdagan kay Robinson, ang mga may mga plake na pinuri sa banal na bulwagan ay kasama si Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Oscar de la Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Coke, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Batang kambing” Si Lewis at “Misteryoso” Billy Smith. Tiniyak sina Mayweather at Pacquiao na sumali sa kanilang ranggo sa sandaling maging karapat-dapat na silang pumunta sa balota.

 

Ang nanguna sa Mayweather vs.. Hindi nagkaroon ng kakulangan sa paghahambing si Pacquiao sa nakaraang welterweight clash na kapansin-pansin para sa klasikong kalikasan ng mga laban na iyon, ang laganap na interes ng interes ng publiko sa kanila, o pareho.

 

Si Mayweather vs.. Malamang na maulit si Pacquiao, sabihin, Leonard-Duran I, kung saan nanalo si Duran sa isang nakapupukaw na lubos na nagkakaisang desisyon noong Hunyo 25, 1980, sa Montreal? Ang epiko na Leonard-Hearns I, sa Sept. 16, 1981, na nakita si Leonard, sumunod sa scorecards, rally para sa isang dramatiko, 14ika-pag-ikot ng TKO sa Caesars Palace? Ang kontrobersyal na desisyon ng mayorya ng Trinidad laban kay De La Hoya sa kanilang Sept. 18, 1999, pagsasama-sama ng pagbubuklod sa Mandalay Bay? O gagawa ba ito ng sarili nitong marka sa isang natatanging paraan na walang paghahambing na maaari o dapat iguhit?

 

Pagdating sa hindi malilimutang mga welterweight bout, sa ngayon dapat maging malinaw na ang anumang bagay at lahat ay posible. Magkakaroon ng kasaysayan sina Mayweather at Pacquiao, at idagdag dito, sa pamamagitan ng pagtatangka na yumuko ang bawat isa sa kanilang sariling hangarin.
