Ongeslagen boksperspectief Lamont Powell Ontsnapte 36-kogelschoten zonder kras Opgericht “Handschoenen omhoog, Geweren neer” liefdadigheid

Laat een reactie achter
Lamont Powell (R ) is een winnaar op verschillende manieren
(foto ter beschikking gesteld door Ed Diller Photography)
 
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Mei 5, 2020) – Ongeslagen superweltergewicht vooruitzichtLamont “De gezegende” Powell, gebaseerd op een bijna-doodervaring van 2½ jaar geleden in Providence, gemakkelijk zou kunnen hebben “Lucky” als zijn bijnaam.
 
De 26-jarige Powell was drievoudig Silver Mittens-kampioen, die een 45-4 amateur-record, voorafgaand aan het draaien twee jaar geleden. Hij is 5-0 (1 KO) als professional maar, vanwege de pandemie, sinds augustus vorig jaar heeft hij niet meer gevochten, toen hij een unanieme beslissing van 4 ronden won over 14-7-1Ricardo Garcia.
 
Terug op die bijna fatale nacht 2018, Lamont en zijn oom zaten in een auto voor het huis van Powell, toen een ander voertuig plotseling en verrassend dichtbij hen stopte. Twee niet-geïdentificeerde jonge mannen sprongen eruit en begonnen automatische wapens in de richting van Powell te schieten. Er werden 36 ronden geschoten, één raakte Powells oom in zijn been, maar Powell ontsnapte op de een of andere manier op wonderbaarlijke wijze zonder een schrammetje.  
 
“Geen kogels raakten me,” Powell bevestigde. “Ik ben gezegend en de reden daarvoor is God en mijn moeder – we zijn haar kwijt (Melissa) toen ik was 3 – wie is mijn beschermengel. We zaten gewoon in een auto, toen twee kinderen uit de auto stapten en onze auto begonnen te fotograferen. Ze hadden verlengde clips, maar ik weet niet wie ze waren, en ook de politie tot op de dag van vandaag niet. Mijn oom werd naar het ziekenhuis gebracht en ik moest mezelf van dichterbij gaan bekijken.”
 
Powell's grootouders – Phillip Copper enMary Ann Powell – voedde hem op, omdat zijn moeder was overleden en zijn vader in en uit zijn leven was. Zijn grootmoeder is zijn wettelijke voogd en zijn grootvader is al sinds zijn baby een vader.
 
Van nature, na zijn surrealistische ervaring, Powell veranderde zijn levensstijl drastisch. In plaats van over straat te rennen en te eindigen zoals zoveel mensen die hij kende, dood of opgesloten, Powell wijdde zich aan boksen en creëerde een goed doel voor kinderen met een hoog risico, Handschoenen omhoog, Geweren neer, gesponsord door Big Six Boxing Academy in Providence, waar hij traint met zijn grootvader als hoofdtrainer, evenals het hebben van voormalige Amerikaanse. Olympische bokserJason “Big Six” Weg in zijn hoek.
 
After the shooting somebody who had been shot in the head reached out to Powell. They met to talk about what they’d been through and soon createdGloves up, Geweren neer, die “blew up” overnight, according to Powell.
 
“Handschoenen omhoog, Geweren neer” offers at-risk youngsters an opportunity to try boxing as part of an after-school program aimed to keep kids active and out of trouble. Kids are supplied with boxing equipment and taught valuable lessons through boxing with proper coaching and support.
“I started boxing when I was eight years old,” Powell added. “Boxing kept me off of the streets and busy. This is a sport outside of school that everyone can get involved in.”
 
Powell is promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Sports and Entertainment (CES). Burchfield clearly remembers the first time he saw Powell, because he was so impressive running a hilly 2 ½ mile course around a pond at Lincoln Woods State Park.
 
“I walk there often, and I’ve watched everybody struggle running those hills, including top athletes, but I saw this kid running the hills without a problem,” Burchfield remembered. “I later found out that he was a boxer and knew I’d never have to worry about him being in top shape.  
 
“Lamont came to see me with his grandfather, who has been such a big part of his life, and laterRoland Estrada joined us. I was impressed because Lamont had a full-time job, nog, he trains so hard. I learned that he came from one of the toughest areas of Providence and ran the streets as a kid. Op een dag, he called and asked if I would go with him to the Met School, where he was going to be speaking to about 150 kids and teachers. He spoke about running the streets and admitted that he had done it all. He said to me that if he could impact the lives of one or two of those kids, he’d feel happy, and that brought tears to my eyes. He was going speak at other schools, but this pandemic has put that on hold for now. His program is No. 1 in his life, helping at-risk kids so they don’t repeat what Lamont did when he was younger.”
 
In de ring, Powell displays a stiff jab and, natuurlijk, tremendous conditioning. And like most boxers, he believes that he’ll be a champion someday.
 
“Everything is going as planned with CES,” Powell concluded. “My grandfather has been my head coach since day one, Jason also coaches me, and Doc. Estrada is my adviser. Boxing came naturally to me. I just needed to put in the hard work. Someday I will be a champion and I can’t wait to see my grandfather in the ring holding the belt over his head, because nobody deserves that more than him.”
 
Burchfield has been a boxing promoter for nearly 30 jaar, and he agrees that Powell will be a champion someday. “He’s definitely is on a mission to be a champion,” Burchfield added, and he has everything needed to make that happen. This kid has a really good story. He can be a champion and continue helping at-risk kids have better lives. What’s better than that?”
 
Powell, who also gave-away toys to children in need last Christmas at Big Six Boxing Academy, is on the boxing journey of his career that he believes will climax someday with him being crowned world champion.  
 
In het kort, Lamont Powell is the total package, in en uit de ring. And lucky to be alive!

Boxing photographer Emily Harney Enters ring to KO Cancer

Laat een reactie achter
Haymakers for Hope: Belle of the Ball, Oktober. 10, House of Blues Boston
Emily “The Educator” Harney
(Fotokrediet: Cassandra Sanchez)

SALEM, Massa. (Augustus 16, 2018) – Award-winning boxing photographer Emily Harney will swap her Nikon camera for a pair of Society Nine boxing gloves for one night –Woensdag, Oktober 10 — when she fights in a charity event to KO cancer, the sixth annual Hayemakers for Hope: Belle of the Ball, at House of Blues Boston.

 

 

 

Fighting out of Salem, MA, Harney is entering her fourth year as a visual arts teacher at Gloucester High School, where her students learn photography, graphic design and integrated media.

 

 

 

Haymakers for Hope is a 501 (c) (3) charity that organizes charity boxing events to raise money for cancer research, care, awareness and survivorship. Emily, whose goal is to raise minimum of $5,000 to KO Cancer, is one of 32 women preparing to step into the ring Oct. 10.

 

 

 

“I’ve worked in and around boxing for 18 years as a photographer and consultant to promoters,” Harney said, “but I have never stepped into the ring to fight. When the time was right, and for the right reasons, I’ve always said I’d get in the ring. This is also the one part of the business of boxing that I am not familiar with: to train, gevecht, hit and be hit. I’ve covered some of the greatest fighters to ever step in the ring from all aspects of their lives, respecting their dedication, work ethic and privacy. Just in a few short weeks of training, my respect for their knowledge, dedication and lifestyle choices has elevated.

 

 

 

“In 2016, I attended my first Haymakers for Hope event and I was blown away by the energy and support for a cause that means so much to so many of us. I knew if given the opportunity to fight it would be a great honor and it truly is.”

 

 

 

Emily trains at Tomasello’s Boxing Gym in Saugus, MA, where she is trained by Joe Ricarrdi.

 

 

 

Harney is fighting in honor of her late grandmother, Susan Harney; friend and mentor Samuel E. Zoll, Chief Justice of the Massachusetts District Court; and Mason Silva, the son of Emily’s childhood friend, Alissa Collins-Silva, en haar man, Kevin Silva. Mason was diagnosed at six months old with myelodysplastic syndrome and AML leukemia. After months of treatment, Mason sadly passed away only 23 days after his first birthday.

 

 

 

“Afgelopen december,” Harney added, “I was asked by another childhood friend to come and photograph his children for their Christmas card. His daughter Dior (7) was in Boston Children’s battling leukemia. Getting the kids into a photo studio was not an option; and realizing we were confined to her hospital room, we transformed her room into a studio and made some spectacular photographs. Dior was resilient and positive during the time we shared that day. Dior is continuing to fight each and every day with resilience and grace.”

 

 

 

Tickets, variërend tussen $85.00 en $500.00, are on sale now and available to purchase at Emily’s personal fundraising page: https://haymakersforhope.org/event/boston/2018/belles-of-the-brawl-vi/emily-harney Ga naar “BUY Tickets” and type in HARNEY under “OFFER CODE” to purchase tickets and credit Harney’s fundraising efforts. Sponsorship opportunities and how to send donations if you’re unable to attend are also on this page.

 

 

 

Deuren open om 6:30 met de eerste aanval gepland voor 7:30 p.m. EN. This is a 21+ evenement. All U.S. citizens must have a valid DMV-issued photo ID or USA passport to enter the House of Blues and international guests need a valid passport.

The WBC really came through, and really was a huge help to this fundraiser.” said Simmons.

 

 

 

“WBC did a great thing. I informed them that Daniel Alicea’s WBC Continental belt and NABF belt were stolen from him house while he was undergoing chemotherapy. When I approached Mauricio Sulaiman and Jill Diamond from the WBC, without hesitation they agreed to redo the belts and also sponsor the 5k”

These boxing icons changed their boxing gloves for sneakers and ran/walked to help those in need. This is the beginning of our new model, to maximize their reach to bring awareness to humanitarian needs not only in the island but in the entire world. Everyone should do their part, not just with words but with actions. We’re grateful for overwhelming support and we hope more Athletes and people join our movement. We’ve already received calls inquiring about our next event and for that we are grateful.”

Laat een reactie achter

The long-awaited mixed martial arts (MMA) debut of professional boxing five-division world champion, Amanda Serrano (0-0) had an opponent change, but of better quality.

 

 

 

 

Serrano was scheduled to face Mexican Erendira “Aketzaly” Ordóñez (2-1), but due to visa issues, the new opponent is now Californian Corina Herrera (3-4) in a three-round fight at the flyweight division (125 pond).

 

 

 

 

 

Serrano-Herrera will take place on Friday, April 13th at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles, and will feature simultaneous live broadcasts on Univision and Univision Deportes at midnight (12:00 am Eastern Time / 9:00 pm Pacific Time).

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Herrera has fought on the big scenarios and has never been defeated by knockout or submission. She has good stamina, her fights are exciting, she has good defense and has already fought in different weights from 115 pounds to 135. I only hope that our fight is a great fight for all the demanding MMA fans and of course, for my boricua people who are my heart and soul,” said Serrano.

 

 

 

 

 

In this fight, 25% of the proceeds from the ticket sales on AXS.com, using the code “BORICUA”, will go to the organization “Voices For Puerto Rico” as part of a campaign led by Serrano, together with its promoter Combate Américas to help those affected by Hurricane Maria, an atmospheric event that passed through Puerto Rico last September. ( https://www.axs.com/events/351700/combate-estrellas-i-tickets )

 

 

 

 

 

“We cannot lower our guard. We must continue to help Puerto Rico in all possible ways because six months have passed since the hurricane came and we’ve still not recovered. My respects for the people who and left their families to help others while putting their lives in danger.”
