***Klasse von 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana***

COLORADO SPRINGS, Runde. (November 25, 2019) – Arkansas boxing icon Ray Rodgershas successfully dealt with more cuts than most surgeons, all the way into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, in which he’ll be inducted on Friday night, Dezember 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S.. Olympische Mannschaftsprüfungen für Boxen und 2019 Nationale Meisterschaften, Dezember. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Dezember. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Kasino. Hall of Fame broadcaster **Al Bernstein** from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes three Olympic gold-medalists, **“Groß” George Foreman**, **“Smokin '” Joe Frazier** und **Mark Breland**, as well as legendary coach **Al Mitchell**.

**Sen. John McCain** will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

There isn’t much in boxing, if anything, that Rodgers hasn’t done: Boxer, official, trainer, administrator and, natürlich, cut Mann. “I’m a boxing guy,” Rodgers said in his Southern twang. “I’ve been around the block, several times. But I don’t say I’m a cut man, I’m a laceration management specialist.”

Rodgers first got into boxing when he was in the fifth grade, back in Oklahoma, where he was born. A memo was sent around that there would be a tryout for boxing held the next day at the local high school gym. His parents gave their permission to let him tryout, the first chapter of his incredible boxing career.

“From the first moment,” the charming boxing character remembered, “War ich süchtig. I still have the letter I received in boxing. That was in 1947 and I’m still in boxing. I’m very proud of that.”

Rodgers has worked 39 world championship fights in professional boxing, as a cut man (he only trains amateur boxers) for the likes of world champions **Jermaine Taylor**, **Wayne McCollough** und **Tommy Morrison**.

“It’s been beyond belief for a regular old boxing guy like me,” Rodgers said about his life in boxing. “I’ve traveled all over the world, many times, as a cut man.”

He was the first national official of both the Golden Gloves and Silver Gloves. Mehr, he’s already been inducted in three Hall of Fames: Silberne Handschuhe, Golden Gloves and Arkansas Sports HOF.

“Ray’s sacrifice to countless youth as a coach, Mentor, cut Mann, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” kommentiert **Chris Cugliari**, Exekutivdirektor der USA Boxing Alumni Association. “His years of service and the knowledge he has passed on to other generations is what makes him a Hall of Famer, and we look forward to honoring him in December.”

Rodgers hasn’t slowed down, despite recently celebrating his 83^rd Geburtstag. He still owns and operates Ray Rodgers Boxing Club in West Little Rock, Arkansas, in addition to serving as director of the Arkansas Golden Gloves and Mid-South Tournament, which includes Louisiana, Mississippi, Western Tennessee and Arkansas. And he’s also the vice-president of the National Golden Gloves and chairman of the National Silver Gloves.

“At my age, I’m happy to have any birthday,” Rodgers joked. “I’m hoping to live another 10-12 Jahre, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, obwohl, is in my hands.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Olympiasieger **Andrew Maynard**, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) **Joe Clough**, 1984 Olympiasieger **Frank Tate** und sein Bruder **Thomas**, 1972 Olympier **Tim Dement**, 2002 National Golden Gloves Champion **Jaidon Codringtion**, 1980 Olympic Qualifier **Jackie Beard**, 1981 Junior Olympics **Glen Modicue**, four-time National champion **Eric Kelly**, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier champion **John Scully**, **Obie Beard**, **Mark Lanton** und dasStephens Brüder – **Donald**, **Anthony** und **Jerry**.

**LAS VEGAS** (November 24, 2019) – WBC-Schwergewichts-Weltmeister **Deontay “Die Bronze Bomber” Wilder** continued his title reign with a one-punch knockout victory over **Luis “King Kong” Ortiz** in the seventh round of their rematch Saturday night that headlined a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Wilder made his 10^th consecutive successful title defense, tying him with Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, Tommy Burns and Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko as the only heavyweight champions to achieve that feat.

In einer Neuauflage ihrer epischen 2018 fight that saw Wilder rally back from nearly being stopped to knock out Ortiz in round 10, the fight again saw both men hold the momentum of the fight at different times.

Ortiz controlled much of the action of the fight as he sought to become the first Cuban heavyweight champion in history. Wilder was not very active in the early rounds, while Ortiz was able to effectively jab, move and throw overhand lefts to rack up rounds on the scorecard.

“With Ortiz, you can see why no other heavyweight wants to fight him,” Said Wilder. “He’s very crafty, he moves strategically and his intellect is very high. I had to measure him in certain places.”

Much of Wilder’s attack throughout the first six rounds was centered on his jab and a sweeping left hook that didn’t seem to land cleanly until early in round seven. With the seventh round waning, Wilder used a feint and a straight right cross to put Ortiz down, the first time he had been hurt at all in the fight.

“I had to go in and out and finally I found my measurement,” Said Wilder. “I saw the shot and I took it. My intellect is very high in the ring and no one gives me credit for me. I think I buzzed him with a left hook earlier in the round and I took it from there.”

While Ortiz was able to get to his feet, referee Kenny Bayless waived off the bout at 2:51 in der siebten Runde. Ortiz led on all three scorecards, by margins of 58-56 und 59-55 zweimal. Nach CompuBox, Ortiz out landed Wilder 35 bis 34, mit einem 28 bis 17 advantage in power punches.

“This is boxing,” Said Ortiz. “I said that one of us was going to get knocked out and it wasn’t going to go 12 Runde. I was clear headed when I hit the canvas. When I heard the referee say seven I was trying to get up, but I guess the count went a little quicker than I thought.

“This was a great fight and I thought I was clearly winning,” continued Ortiz. “I got caught with a big shot and I have to give Deontay Wilder a lot of credit. I knew my movement was giving him problems. I landed some big shots and I thought I had him hurt. I thought I was up by the count and could have continued.”

In the ring following the fight, Ortiz asserted that he will continue his quest for a heavyweight championship.

“Deontay showed great will and I’m not ashamed with my performance,” Said Ortiz. “I know I can beat anyone in the heavyweight division. My career is not over. I’m going to work my way back into a big fight.”

Nach dem Kampf, Wilder told FOX Sports’ Heidi Androl that his goal is to unify the heavyweight division and become undisputed champion.

“Nächster, we have Tyson Fury in the rematch,” said Wilder.” It’s scheduled for February, also werden wir sehen. Dann, I want unification. I want one champion, one face and one heavyweight champion – Deontay Wilder. The heavyweight division is too small, there should be one champion and it’s Deontay Wilder.”

Im Co-Main Event, **Löwe “Erdbeben” Santa Cruz** (37-1-1, 19 KOs) became a four-division world champion by capturing the WBA Super Featherweight with a unanimous decision over **Miguel Flores** (24-3, 12 KOs).

“Winning this title means the world to me,” sagte Santa Cruz. “This is all for the fans who support me. I didn’t feel myself today and didn’t perform the way I wanted to. I’m going to get back in the gym and get a big fight in 2020.”

The action began to heat up in round three, as Santa Cruz began to find a home for his straight right hand that would help him control much of the remainder of the fight. Flores adjusted and used more movement to try to counteract Santa Cruz’s aggression and also focused on countering those right hands with body shots.

“I’m glad I got the victory,” sagte Santa Cruz. “Miguel is a good fighter, he gave me a tough fight and he proved he’s not a pushover. We put on a great battle.”

“It was a good fight and I showed I belong at this level,” Said Flores. “I just went 12 rounds with Leo Santa Cruz. It’s not an accomplishment in itself but I slowed down his pace. Wie ich schon sagte, it’s not only about throwing punches, but it’s about ring IQ and I showed I have it.”

Despite Flores’ tactics, Santa Cruz was able to stay in control and frustrate his opponent. Flores was deducted a point by referee Tony Weeks in round eight due to excessive holding during the many exchanges.

Santa Cruz held the edge in punches landed at 253 bis 222, while Flores threw more punches than Santa Cruz by a tally of 1024 bis 907.

“It was a close fight and I didn’t think he was landing too much,” Said Flores. “He was busy but he wasn’t landing too many shots. I landed cleaner harder shots but he was just busier.”

Flores continued to try to rough up Santa Cruz and accidentally hit him with a headbutt in the ninth round that opened up a cut over Santa Cruz’s left eye. The four-division champion was able to weather that cut and finished strong on his way to a unanimous decision by scores of 115-112 und 117-110 zweimal. Watch highlights HIER.

“I want to stay at 130,” sagte Santa Cruz. “We want the big fights in 2020. I want Gervonta Davis or Gary Russell Jr. I want to show the world I’m not scared of anybody.”

The pay-per-view also featured WBA Super Bantamweight Champion **Brandon “der Herzensbrecher” Figueroa** (20-0-1, 15 KOs) retaining his title with a split draw against former champion **Juli Ceja** (32-4-1, 28 KOs) nach 12 rounds of action.

“I think I did win the fight,” sagte Figueroa. “He put on a lot of pressure, but I fought better in the early rounds and I finished strong.”

Figueroa started the fight in control, closing down the distance early and using his activity and combinations to take early control of the action. Ceja’s strategy early was to counter his charging opponent, but he soon picked up the aggression to not allow Figueroa’s offensive momentum to grow.

In den mittleren Runden, Ceja began taking control, landing the more powerful punches while Figueroa continued to come forward, but was not able to land anything that slowed Ceja’s offense. Watch highlights HIER.

Figueroa was able to weather the storms in the middle rounds and make it to the late rounds where he again picked up the activity and body attack. He was able to bust Ceja’s lip throughout the action, causing it to swell and bleed.

The punch output was impressive from both fighters, with their 784 combined punches landed good for the fourth most in super bantamweight history, while their 2,811 punches thrown were the second highest, according to CompuBox. Figueroa earned a narrow 411 bis 373 advantage in punches landed.

Nach 12 Runde, die Richter’ Summen waren 115-113 for Figueroa, 116-112 for Ceja and 114-114, which resulted in the split draw decision.

“This fight is for all of you fans who came here to see me,” said Ceja. “He was a man about it and he gave me the fight. I think I won, but I respect the judges’ Entscheidung. I’ll definitely run it back in a rematch.”

Ceja was not able to win the title after failing to make the 122-pound limit at Friday’s weigh-in.

“I basically fought a person in a weight class above mine tonight,” sagte Figueroa. “I’m pretty sure if he weighed 122, it wouldn’t even be a close fight. We have to run the rematch back but he better make the weight.”

The pay-per-view opener saw Mexico’s **Eduardo Ramirez** (23-2-3, 10 KOs) deliver an impressive fourth-round TKO victory over previously unbeaten **Leduan Barthelemy** (15-1-1, 7 KOs) in their featherweight rematch. Watch the highlightHIER

“I said before the fight, I wasn’t going to let it go to the judges,” said Ramirez. “The first fight wasn’t a draw. I worked very hard for this and it turned out how I wanted today. I felt his punching power. Er ist ein guter Kämpfer. I came here to fight. Viva Mexico.”

The fight began tactically, with Barthelemy looking to use his reach advantage to work off of his jab, while Ramirez sought to work inside and deliver power punches. In Runde drei, Ramirez began to break through Barthelemy’s defense with a series of hooks late in the round.

Ramirez continued to come forward in round four, pressing Barthelemy and finding additional cracks in his defense. Spät in der Runde, Ramirez broke through with a glancing right hook that he followed up with a perfect straight left that put Barthelemy down.

While Barthelemy was able to get to his feet, referee Russell Mora waived off the bout at 2:59 of the fourth round. Ramirez held a 73 bis 52 advantage in punches landed, einschließlich 27 in round three and 31 in round four.

“Ich habe keine Ausreden,” Said Barthelemy. “The better man won tonight. I had a great camp and I was feeling good. But when I got out there I wasn’t really feeling my best. I turned around to try to walk around and get my feet under me after the knockdown. I wasn’t trying to stop the fight or anything and I thought I could continue. Now I just have to live with it and come back.”

FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Prelims on FS2 and FOX Deportes saw sensational 17-year-old prospect **Vito Mielnicki Jr.** (3-0, 3 KOs) deliver a stoppage of **Märklin Bailey** (6-6, 4 KOs) 2:31 into the second round of their welterweight affair. Mehr, rising super lightweight prospect **Omar Juarez** (6-0, 4 KOs) gesunken **Kevin Shacks** (3-5-3, 3 KOs) three times on his way to a TKO victory 1:59 in die sechste Runde.

Additional prelims fights featured Tennessee’s **Dustin Long** (3-1-2, 3 KOs) scoring a knockout of **Marsellos Wilder** (5-2, 2 KOs) with a left hook that ended the fight 1:51 in die vierte Runde.

“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis Frazier sagte,, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.

“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatMuhammad Ali in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”

Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, Kompilieren ein 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.

When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.

Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. In der ersten Runde, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Australien) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Russland) in der Halbfinalrunde, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.

Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, gegenHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.

“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”

Frazier (32-4-1, 27 KOs) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMuhammad Ali, Jimmy Ellis (zweimal), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(zweimal), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen undGeorge Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedChris Cugliari, Exekutivdirektor der USA Boxing Alumni Association. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring.
