The chemistry that we developed in these past weeks of light training has been very good. This will be the first time that I’m not the favorite in a fight, and the motivation is incredible. It’s very huge. I like challenges.

Cuba defeats Team Pittsburgh, 7-4 in die voorkant van oor 2,500 fans at Battle on the Bridge

Skryf 'n opmerking
Pittsburgh, PA (Augustus 1, 2016) – A group of some of the best amateurs from boxing hotbed Cuba defeated Team Pittsburgh 7-4 Saterdag night in front of a packed crowd of over 2,500 on the Roberto Clemente Bridge adjacent to to PNC Park.
The meet, which was a year in the making that saw the team from Pittsburgh travel to Cuba in May for a dual-training session between the teams and culminated with the historic event.
Not only was the meet staged in front of a capacity crowd, but was broadcast live back to Cuba with an estimated viewing audience of 11 million people.
In attendance were 1996 Olympic Gold Medal winner Maikro Romero of Cuba, who came over as an ambassador for his home country as well as two-time world champion, Steve “USS” Cunningham, who was a coach for Team Pittsburgh and father of team participant, Steve Cunningham Jr.
The younger Cunningham, along with teammates Nehemiah Hollinger, Sylvio Cercone & Kiante Irving were the four members from Team Pittsburgh to have their hand’s raised.

For more information on the event, www.cubasipgh.org
History of the Event

In the sport of amateur boxing, Cuba has established itself as a world power house. Despite only having a population roughly equal to that of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Cuba has won an unbelievable 67 Olympic medals in boxing, 34 of which are Gold. By all accounts, Cuba is a world leader in the sport.

In November of 2015, a diverse delegation of business and community leaders led by Congressman Mike Doyle, County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, and Councilwoman Natalia Rudiak traveled to Cuba to invite Cuba to take on Team Pittsburgh. Vandag, Julie 30, 2016, right here in Pittsburgh, you are a witness to an unprecedented athletic exchange with Cuba. While Pittsburgh has had a long-standing relationship with the City of Matanzas, Cuba and has engaged in countless academic, cultural, and humanitarian exchanges with our friends in Cuba, this athletic exchange will be a first. Our belief is that if Pittsburgh wants to be the best in the world, we have to learn from the best in the world. Having the opportunity to compete against Cuba provides our athletes with a tremendous opportunity to challenge them to become better boxers while making friends and learning about a different culture

This competition will be unique in the fact that unlike the athletic exchanges of the past between USA and Cuba, this event will be a “friendly” club match. Each of the bouts athletes are evenly matched. The goal of the evening’s competition is to provide young boxers of all skill levels a chance to compete on the international level and ultimately grow as boxers and individuals. Because of the historic nature of this event, we endeavored to stage the boxing match in a manner that reflects its significance. Matanzas is Cuba’s City of Bridges, and Pittsburgh holds that designation in the U.S.A. Because of the need to create a symbolic bridge between the U.S. and Cuba to move past the Cold War Era, we have chosen to hold this match on the Roberto Clemente Bridge, honoring at the same time a man who gave his life building unity among nations.

History of Pittsburgh Matanzas
The Pittsburgh-Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership was founded to create an opportunity for our residents, public officials, and leaders of organizations to engage in mutually beneficial ‘people to people’ exchanges with the residents of Matanzas, Kuba. Februarie 20, 1998 a signing agreement took place in Matanzas officially designating our sister city relationship.

The Mission of the Pittsburgh-Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership is to expand our sister city relationship between the City of Pittsburgh and the City of Matanzas, Kuba, to foster understanding and bilateral cooperation through mutually beneficial exchanges between individuals, government officials, community groups, organizations, educational, environmental, cultural, sports, business, and other institutions. It is important that ordinary people be able to experience Cuba for themselves and form their own opinions. Oor die jare, our work has expanded to encompass bilateral relationships within the entire nation of Cuba.
Our work focuses on these 4 objectives:
1. Lift the illegal and immoral blockade (Extra-territorial economic and trade sanctions that impact world trade)
2. Lift the Travel Ban (Allow Americans the same freedom of travel enjoyed by every other democratic nation.)
3. Building International Relations that respect the independence and Sovereignty of Cuba
4. Ending the illegal and immoral occupation of Guantanamo Bay (US is in outright violation of Treaty)

Despite decades of travel restrictions placed on U.S. residents by our own government that remain in place even to this day, as do crippling economic sanctions against Cuba, which have been condemned worldwide as immoral and illegal under international law, we have continued our work to engage in peaceful and constructive activities with the people and institutions of Cuba.

History of Hibernian Celtic Athletic Fund

The Celtic Athletic Fund was created by members of Ancient Order of Hibernians to help make sports accessible for low-income Pittsburgh youth of all nationalities through “Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity”.
Boxing on the Bridge is the brainchild of the organization.

Michael Diven, a former Pittsburgh councilman and former state representative, is a member of the Hibernian Celtic Athletic Fund and the Pittsburgh Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership. For the past three years on St. Patrick's Day, the fund has sponsored an exchange with Irish boxers called the Donnybrook organized by Mr. Diven.

The Cuban Constitution guarantees “access to study, culture and sports.” But in the U.S., youth sports, as well as art and music, are among the first to be cut when school district funding shrinks. “Boxing on the Bridge” continues the work of the fund to support sports initiatives for Pittsburgh’s youth and builds on decades of work by the Pittsburgh-Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership

For Pittsburgh, it will be a unique opportunity for our amateur youth boxers to learn from the best boxers in the world. And for our nation, it will help build bridges with Cuba and public support for congressional action to finally end the U.S. economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba, which continues, despite President Obama’s March visit to the island.

Kevin Dever Sport Management tekens onoorwonne Kubaanse lig swaargewig Luis Garcia

Skryf 'n opmerking
(L-R – Kevin Duty, Luis Garcia en Patrick Brown)
PEEKSKILL, N.Y.. (Desember 1, 2015) – Kevin Dever Sport Management het die ondertekening van onoorwonne Kubaanse lig swaargewig vooruitsig aangekondig Luis “The Lion” Garcia 'n eksklusiewe bestuurs- kontrak.
Byna agt jaar gelede,Garcia (12-0, 9 Uitklophoue) oorgeloop van Kuba na Mexiko met mede-bokser Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 Uitklophoue), wat in Cork gevestig, Ierland, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Dit was 'n groter verandering toe ek verhuis na Ierland as ses weke gelede, toe ek hier ingetrek,” the 28-year-old Garcia explained. “It was a lot harder in Ireland because I didn’t speak a word of English. I learned English from the street, watching TV and reading. It’s not a big change for me to move around because I traveled all over the world when I was a member of the Cuban National Team.”
Garcia het nie geveg in byna vier jaar as gevolg van vorige bestuurs- kwessies, maar sy terugkeer is geskeduleer Saterdag nag, Desember 5, against an opponent to be determined in a six-round bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. His last fight was a win by eight-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated (12-0) Alexander Johnson Desember 30, 2011 in Cabazon, Kalifornië.
“Dit was nie my besluit om nie die afgelope vier jaar veg,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred baie, and did as much as I could do in the gym. I still had a contract until it expired. I’ve known Kevin for 2-3 jaar. He asked me why I wasn’t fighting and I told him everything. He said to call him when my contract expired because he wanted to manage me and that’s what I did.
“Amerika bied my 'n goeie geleentheid, beter as Engeland of Ierland, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5ste and taking things step by step. I’m not going to rush. There are a lot of great fighters in the light heavyweight division and I hope to be in the mix next year.”
Garcia se twee gevegte voor sy laaste teen Johnson was indrukwekkend 2010 tegniese uitklophoue van die voormalige wêreldkampioen Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) en Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), onderskeidelik, in die tweede en sesde rondes.
“Ek het die boks met 'n slegte smaak in my mond, maar ek was op soek om terug te kry in die boks,” gesê Kevin Duty, wat mede-bestuur Garcia met Patrick Brown. “I knew him from Ireland and I always wanted to manage this kid. He called to tell me his contract had expired and we worked out a deal that brought him here to live in New York.
“I honestly don’t see any rust watching him spar. I know sparring isn’t fighting but everybody in the gym stops to watch him workout. Ek dink eerlik dat, sodra hy het 'n paar goeie gevegte onder sy gordel, hy sal 'n top-aanspraakmaker in die lig swaargewig-afdeling wees. Luis Garcia is die beste vegter wat ek nog ooit gewerk het.”
Garcia, 'n Wêreld Junior Kampioenskap goue medalje, oorgeloop omdat hy ontnugter na 'n plek wat ontken die 2008 Kubaanse Olimpiese span, ten spyte hom verslaan uiteindelike Olimpiese silwermedaljewenner Emelio Correa, Jr. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Olimpiese kampioen Emelio Correa, Sr., wat nog betrokke was in die Kubaanse amateur boks toe sy seun is gekies oor Garcia Kuba verteenwoordig in die 2008 Olimpiese Spele. Correa lost in the championship final to James DeGale, die Brit wat tans die Internasionale Boksfederasie (IBF) super middelgewig titlist.
Nie 'n tipiese verdediging-eerste Kubaanse bokser, Garcia is bekend as 'n skerp ponser dat baie insiders geglo het meer onderstebo as enige Kubaanse boksers wat het oorgeloop, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux en Yuriorkis gambo'n, wat albei verskeie-time wêreldkampioen as professionele geword.
Garcia is uit te werk van die Eerste Wees Boxing in Peekskill en Westchester Boxing Club in White Plains (NY), waar hy opgelei deur Nick “Kneukels” Delury en sy assistent, voormalige wêreld titel uitdager Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 Uitklophoue). A former No. 1 ingedeel welterweight aanspraakmaker in die wêreld, Barnes’ slegs drie verliese as 'n pro was om wêreldkampioene Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Saul Mamby en Luis Ramon “Yuri Boy” Kampus.
“Hy is 'n groot kind, baie slim en respek,” Delury kommentaar. “Daar is 'n paar roes uit om af vier jaar, maar Luis woon 'n goeie, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. Hy is 28, opgevoede, and a true gentleman. It’s been a pleasure working with him. Luis is a gifted boxer. He’s extremely exciting to watch and has a perfect blend of offense and defense.”
