RAGING BABE PRESENTS: PELTZ BOXING 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OCTOBER 4 AT 2300 ARENA

Agosto 29, 2019 FNU47 Lascia un commento

*Philadelphia’s boxing community to come together*
*To mark “The Boy Wonder’s” 50-year milestone*

PHILADELPHIA, PA–J Russell Peltz was 22 years old when he promoted his first boxing card 50 years ago at the legendary Blue Horizon. On ott. 4, Peltz will celebrate half a century as a boxing promoter with a card at the 2300 Arena that will reflect his reputation for promoting Philly vs. Philly, no-quarters-given bouts.

The eight-fight card, promoted by Raging Babe, will feature junior welterweight Victor Padilla, of Berlin, NJ, by way of Vieques, Puerto Rico, nel main event. Padilla, che è promosso da DiBella Entertainment, is undefeated in five fights, all by way of knockout, and is considered by Peltz and others to be a future world champion. Peltz will serve as matchmaker for the event.

It has been nearly 20 years since Peltz received the Long and Meritorious Service award from the Boxing Writers Association of America and Philadelphia Sportswriters Association, followed in 2004 by his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. While others might have considered retirement, Peltz has gone on to promote more than 150 additional events, bringing his total number of promoted shows to nearly 1,000. He has promoted or co-promoted more than 40 combattimenti del campionato del mondo.

After starting his career as sports editor of the Temple News–the daily student newspaper at Temple University–and then on the sports copy desk at the Evening and Sunday Bulletin, Peltz traded in his typewriter for the roller coaster that is professional boxing. He was dubbed “The Boy Wonder,” when he sold out the 1,346-seat Blue Horizon in his first event on Sept. 30, 1969, a night that featured a middleweight main event between Bennie Briscoe, di Philadelphia, and Tito Marshall, di Panama. The standing-room-only crowd was 1,606.

In more recent years, he’s taken Michelle Rosado (aka Raging Babe) under his wing, mentoring her and showing her the ins and outs of the boxing business with his unique brand of tough love.

“I can think of no one better to promote my 50th Anniversary Celebration,” said Peltz. “I have been able to sit in the passenger seat the last couple years while Michelle drove and I’m excited to share this special event with her.

“It seems like yesterday I was sitting outside the Blue Horizon in North Philly, selling tickets out of my car for my first card after the box office closed for the day. From there to the old Arena in West Philly, then to The Spectrum in South Philly, it’s been quite a ride. Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Europa, Sud America, the Orient–I cannot believe it’s been half a century.”

Rosa: “It’s an honor to put on this card with and for Russell’s 50th. He has been an incredible mentor and friend, and I think I have looked forward to this celebration of his legacy even more than he has.”

I biglietti per “Peltz Boxing 50th Anniversary Celebration” are priced $50, $70 e $90. They can be purchased online at www.2300arena.com o chiamando 215-758-2173 and/or 215-765-0922. Apertura delle porte alle 6:30 pm and first bout is at 7:30 pm.

Javier Martinez making Milwaukee proud on the way to World Championships in Russia

Agosto 21, 2019 FNU47 Lascia un commento

COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Agosto 19, 2019) – Milwaukee isn’t known as one of the leading producers of world-class boxers, tuttavia, Team USA middleweight
**Javier Martinez** may be the rare exception.

“Milwaukee isn’t really a great place for boxing,” Martinez agreed, “ma (allenatore) **Izzy Acosta** always had a great program that produced a lot of national champions. Fiduciosamente, one day I can do what he’s done for my city. Abbiamo alcuni buoni combattenti che escono dalla mia palestra che sono ancora in aumento. Attento al mio ragazzo, **Luis Feliciano**, un ex campione nazionale USA (il welter junior di 26 anni è 12-0 da professionista con otto vittorie per KO).”

Il pugile più famoso uscito da Milwaukee è il campione del mondo di kickboxing **Rick “il getto” Rufus**. Ci sono stati alcuni pugili di Milwaukee degni di nota nel corso degli anni, Compreso **Myron “mignolo” Mitchell**, che è diventato il primo campione del mondo dei pesi welter junior in 1922, **Robert “Uomo delle caverne” Moha** (1910-15), ex campione nazionale **Tyrone “La farfalla” tricipite**, e medaglia di bronzo ai Giochi Panamericani e due volte campione nazionale dilettanti, **LeChaunce Shepard**.

Martinez si sta attualmente allenando a Colorado Springs negli Stati Uniti. Centro di Allenamento Olimpico e Paralimpico per i Campionati del Mondo, Settembre 7-21, a Ekaterinburg, Russia.

“È una bella sensazione e ho intenzione di sfruttare appieno questa opportunità,” Martinez ha parlato di gareggiare ai Mondiali. “Adoro venire in Colorado; è come una terapia per me, tenendomi lontano dalle distrazioni a casa. Sono molto entusiasta di andare in Russia. Ringrazio USA Boxing per tutte le opportunità che ho avuto, e spero di riportare una medaglia dalla Russia.”

Martinez dice che non ha avuto un'infanzia normale, spiegando che ammirava le persone sbagliate. La sua vita è cambiata in meglio quando suo padre lo ha introdotto alla boxe e ha incontrato l'allenatore Acosta, che è stato recentemente premiato dalla USA Boxing Alumni Association per i suoi contributi alla boxe amatoriale come pugile e allenatore nell'ultimo mezzo secolo.

“Non so cosa farei oggi (se non per la boxe),” notato Martinez, che si trasforma 24 agosto 24. “So solo che la boxe era la mia via d'uscita dal "cappuccio". Il coach Izzy è una persona molto amorevole, e una persona fantastica da avere intorno. Ha avuto un'ottima carriera nel pugilato ed è fantastico avere una persona così dalla mia parte.”

Martinez, chi è il n. 2 classificato medi negli Stati Uniti, conquistato una medaglia d'oro al 2018 Campionati Nazionali Elite e argento al 2016 & 2017 Campionati Nazionali Elite. Ha anche portato a casa il bronzo dal 2013 Olimpiadi Nazionali Junior e Torneo Feliks Stamm.

Autodescritto come un mancino goffo che può dare problemi a chiunque, Martinez’ l'obiettivo a breve termine è vincere la medaglia d'oro olimpica, a lungo termine per essere campione del mondo.

Javier Martinez rende orgoglioso Milwaukee con un pugno’ la sua strada verso l'alto.

Before and After: The Incredible Rebirth of Mikey ‘Baby Face’ Faragon

Agosto 13, 2019 FNU47 Lascia un commento

The incredible rebirth of Albany, New York’s Mikey “Baby Face” Faragon (19-1, 9 KO) is complete and he will return to action in a six-rounder tonight, Venerdì, Agosto 9, at a GCP and Rapacz Boxing show at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota against Missouri’s Demetrius Wilson.

Faragon was once a super lightweight prospect touted as one of the most promising young fighters to ever come out of the Capital Region, but a severe foot injury forced him out of boxing five years ago.

During his extended recovery, which included several painful surgeries, 32-year-old Faragon fell into depression and unhealthy living and gained a great deal of weight.

With his mobility now restored, Faragon challenged himself to get back in shape and said he would fight again if he could. Pictured above, destra, Faragon is back in fighting shape and, against Wilson, will be looking to gauge how much of that immense potential he still has.

Legendary Air Force Academy boxing coach Ed Weichers coached perfect storm

Agosto 13, 2019 FNU47 Lascia un commento

COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Agosto 8, 2019) – Boxing coachEd Weichers, a charter member of the USA Boxing Alumni Association, guided the United States Air Force Academy from 1976-2014 to a record of 19 national collegiate boxing team championships.

Coach Weichers’ Fighting Falcons’ squads produced a remarkable 258 All-America boxers and 97 individual champions. His teams never finished lower than second in the nation for 27 years and he also served as president and vice president of the National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA).

Coaching sports at a military school is much different, largely because student-athletes in most cases, soprattutto boxe, are not professional prospects. “Our Cadets were not trained to be elite level amateurs or pros,” the now 68-year-old Weichers explained. “In 1976, the cost to put one Cadet through four years at the Academy was $80,000 ma, in 2014, the year of my retirement, that figure was $417,000. Cadets are trained to go forward and serve. They fly, lotta, win and defend freedoms that we all enjoy. Boxing at the next level is not part of the discussion. I got calls at the time about our boxers going to the next level, fighting in Tough Man Contests, etc. My answer is and has always been consistent: ‘You are not trained to be a boxer in the Air Force. Do not jeopardize your pilot qualifications or commission ability with a boxing injury.’ The Air Force has an investment in them, and I urged them to go forward and serve. I send them back to the real purpose of the boxing class/program at AFA. It teaches them how to handle press, stress, fear and anxiety. Boxing gives them the self confidence and self esteem to make good decisions in combat under pressure. The ability to handle these pressures and make good decisions are the difference in life and death in combat.”

Coach Weichers, naturalmente, attributes a large share of his success to the Cadets, who are intelligent, disciplined and team oriented. All Cadets take a mandatory core curriculum boxing course (10 lessons) their freshman year, followed by an intramural boxing program comprised of 40 squadron teams with a minimum of eight to a maximum of 16 boxers per team.

Not only did Weichers work with this incredible feeder system, the next step was the AFA Wing Open Boxing Championships, in which Cadets voluntarily signed-up to compete in one of 12 divisions to box for the No. 1 spot, earning a roster spot on the AFA Intercollegiate boxing team that competes in regional and national tournaments. The advancing 12 Cadets represented the entire Air Force Academy.

“Bottom line,’ Coach Weichers noted, “this formula was a perfect storm. I must give credit to and thank two Physical Education Department heads, Col. Don Peterson eCol. Larry Fariss, and two athletic directors who were instrumental to our support and success, Col. John Clune eCol. Randy Spetman.

“I was blessed with young men who I describe as overachievers. Cadets are tenacious. We built on an individual sport with a team concept. I had great assistant coaches, the best training facilities, and an environment of being surrounded by quality people in all phases.”

After he retired as head boxing coach at the Air Force Academy, Weichers led Team USA in 2014 e 2015 to five medals, including two golds, at the Pan American Games in Toronto.

“The plan was to hire Billy Walsh, who was the head coach of Team Ireland,” Weichers added. “I committed to sponsor Coach Walsh upon his arrival and make his transition smooth. I did that and Coach Walsh and I have become good friends. He is the correct man for the job, and he brings a great resume and reputation. He has helped turn the program around and created a winning culture. Team USA is back, ranked among the top 10 al mondo, and that is a direct result of Coach Walsh.”

USA Boxing Alumni Association

Creato per il campione per tutta la vita, relazioni reciprocamente vantaggiose tra USA Boxing ed i suoi ex allievi, –pugili, funzionari, allenatori e appassionati di boxe — L'Alumni Association collega generazioni di campioni, ispirando e restituendo ai futuri campioni di boxe USA Boxing, in e fuori dal ring.

Gli Stati Uniti Boxing Alumni Association è aperta a chiunque abbia un amore per la boxe e vorrebbe rimanere in contatto con il pugilato dilettantistico. I membri hanno accesso a una vasta gamma di eventi speciali ospitati dall'Associazione Alumni, compresa la sua annuale di USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame di ricezione.

Per aderire all'Associazione Alumni, semplicemente registrarsi alalumni@usaboxing.org per un $40.00 all'anno quota associativa. I nuovi membri riceveranno una T-shirt, portachiavi e e-wallet.

Weichers joined the USA Boxing Alumni Association because he is a huge supporter ofJohn Brown, former President and current Vice President of USA Boxing.

“John had the idea or concept (to form the alumni association) and I looked at the purpose and thought it would be a way to honor and recognize those who contributed over the years,” Weichers remarked. “I hope that successful professionals from the past and present recognize those who contributed over the years. I also hope that they remember their roots were with USA Boxing and give back. We all had help and our start and success did not happen alone. Be humble and grateful and give back.”

Weichers is high on Team USA, especially its overall potential in the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan, detto, “We’re solid going into 2020. The key to success, secondo me, is head coach Billy Walsh. He is very experienced. His reputation and resume are top shelf. Coach Walsh is well known and respected on the international level. He has the ability to reach out to other countries and make positive things happen for our athletes. He has adjusted the culture in our boxing program, identifying our strengths, and making adjustment where weak. Coach Walsh brings leadership and credibility. Bottom line, we have the right coach for the job in place.”

Weichers’ association with the NCBA led to his relationship with USA Boxing at various levels and capacities. He has always felt gratified to give back to boxing, as well as an obligation to grow the sport at every level.

“I was lucky/blessed to work in a place I refer to as Camelot,” Weichers concluded. “It’s an athletic paradise; core values, honor code, and a mission that anyone can connect with and admire. I can say that I am a better person for my experience at the Air Force Academy.

“I love the sport of boxing, because of what it did for me, in terms of molding my life. The gratification that comes with seeing how young men and women grow and mature, as a result of their experience with boxing was very positive.

And countless Cadets are better people because they were coached by Ed Weichers.
