L'entraîneur de boxe GOAT….. Emanuel Steward

Association des anciens de boxe Etats-Unis, Une sorte de 2018 intronisé
(L-R) – Le grand Tommy Hearns & feu Manny Steward

COLORADO SPRINGS, Tour. (Novembre 19, 2018) – La fin Emanuel Steward, sans doute le plus grand entraîneur de boxe de tous les temps, est membre de la classe des 2018 être intronisé au Temple de la renommée de l'Association des anciens de boxe américaine.

 

 

 

La deuxième annuelle de l'Association des anciens Etats-Unis de boxe Hall of Fame réception, tenue conjointement avec le 2018 USA Boxing Elite et Championnats nationaux de la jeunesse et junior et préparation ouverte, Décembre 2-8, aura lieu Décembre 7, à l'Hôtel Radisson (215 S. Temple Saint) à Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Steward était un boxeur, trainer extraordinaire, et commentateur de HBO jusqu'à sa mort prématurée en 2012 à l'âge de 68. Sa carrière de boxeur a culminé avec son intronisation au Temple de la renommée de la boxe internationale en 1996.

 

 

 

À l'âge de 12, Manny a déménagé avec sa mère de Virginie-Occidentale à Detroit, où sa vie s'est vite transformée en boxe. Comme un boxeur amateur, il a compilé un 94-3 record, mis en évidence par une performance médaille d'or à la 1963 Tournoi national des Golden Gloves en tant que poids coq, mais il a décidé de ne pas essayer pour l'équipe olympique américaine de boxe.

 

 

 

En 1971, Steward est devenu entraîneur à temps partiel au Kronk Gym, où il a finalement guidé plusieurs des meilleurs boxeurs amateurs du pays. Le Kronk Gym est devenu plus tard une propriété de Steward’s et il l’a développé pour en faire l’un des clubs de boxe les plus connus et les plus connus au monde.

 

 

 

 

 

Steward a également été directeur national des entraîneurs pour la boxe américaine au début des années 2000..

 

 

 

Tout au long de son incroyable carrière, Steward aurait été formé 41 champions du monde, peut-être, les plus remarquables étaient Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis et Wladimir Klitschko. Il a également formé Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, et Mike McCallum. Manny a également formé un jeune rappeur de Detroit, Eminem, comment boxer au Kronk Gym.

 

 

 

Le dernier champion du monde formé par Manny était Adonis “Superman” Stevenson, qui reste le Conseil mondial de boxe en titre (WBC) Champion du monde des poids lourds légers depuis 2013.

 

 

 

“Emanuel disait toujours, KO vendre!” Stevenson se souvenait affectueusement. “Il a également été le premier à me dire, «Vous serez une superstar et un champion du monde. Assurez-vous simplement de ne pas écouter les gens avec de mauvaises intentions parce que vous avez un talent naturel.’ Il croyait en moi même si certaines personnes ne pensaient pas que je deviendrais un jour champion du monde.”

 

 

 

“Emanuel Steward a eu un impact sur la vie de tant de personnes qui ont franchi les portes du Kronk Gym,” dit Chris Tofflemire, Association des anciens Etats-Unis de boxe Directeur exécutif. “Bien qu'il soit le plus reconnu pour ses réalisations au niveau professionnel, son impact a été significatif chez les amateurs. Manny est aujourd'hui entraîneur modèle pour USA Boxing, et son impact se fera sentir pendant longtemps. L’Association des anciens de boxe américaine soutient massivement son intronisation et se réjouit de l’honorer dans le cadre de la classe du Temple de la renommée de cette année.”

Personne d'autre ne m'a jamais donné cette reconnaissance. Il était humble et pas un blowhard, mon genre de gars.”

HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?

Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ sur Samedi, Juillet 16

, at Masonic Temple

Having already experienced being a world-rated TV-level fighter under tremendous pressure to win every fight impressively, Miami-based slugger Josh “Dempsey” Gormley says he much prefers the lowered expectations of being considered the “adversaire” since coming back to boxing.
There’s a lot of pressure on you as the A-side guy,” explained Gormley. “As an opponent, I’m supposed to lose, so when I win it’ll be that much more dramatic.
Gormley (22-4, 21 KOs) will face WBO #5-, IBF #5-, and WBC #7-rated and current NABF heavyweight champion AndyThe Destroyer from Mexicali” Ruiz (27-0, 18 KOs) dans un combat sans titre ce samedi à Detroit. The two bruising heavyweights will meet in the 10-round main event of Salita Promotionslatest “La bagarre de Détroit” event at the Masonic Temple.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, billets pour “La bagarre de Détroit” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, Ringside $93, Réservé $63 et $38, and Balcony $28, and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Tickmaster.com.
Gormley says he isn’t prepared to go along with the expected outcome for a 41-year-old fighter taking on a top contender in just his third fight since returning from a 16-year retirement. He’s coming to Detroit to win.
“Il est parfait pour moi,” he said of Ruiz. “I feel like I’m fighting the weakest guy in the top 10. He doesn’t punch hard and I won’t have to look for him. He comes forward a lot and he’s not Floyd Mayweather. I don’t think he can handle my power. Now that I’m older, I hit harder than ever and I’m in great shape. I doubt it’ll last the distance. I’ll get him out of there in about five rounds. Even if he does, I’m in great shape to beat him over the distance.
Gormley, reportedly the grandson of all-time-great heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, est devenu professionnel en 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Cependant, boxe, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” il dit. “Gagner ou perdre, I’m just carrying on my legacy and seeing what I can still do. My goal is to be champ of the world. But I’m not chasing that dream lie I used to. A long time ago I chased the heavyweight championship dream so hard that every loss was devastating. Maintenant, I want to take the opportunities as they come and win some of them. And hey, when I beat this guy, I’m back in the top 10!”
Scheduled in support of the main event that night will be Giorgi Gelashvili (4-0, 2 KOs) of Brooklyn via Georgia facing comebacking veteran Eric Hall (8-9-1, 4 KOs) of Durand, Michigan in a super lightweight six-rounder.
Aussi, Serdar Hudayberdiyev (2-0, 2 KOs) of Turkmenabat, Turkménistan, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 KOs) d'Atlanta, Georgia in a welterweight four-rounder.

VERONA, N. Y.. (Avril 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects Nikolay Potapov et Stephon Jeune fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération événement principal Vendredi on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N. Y..

 

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 deux fois.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Potapov (14-0-1, 6 KOs) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.

 

After slowing in the seventh and eighth, Jeune (14-0-3, 6 KOs) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Mais, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10e and lost the final round on all three scorecards.

 

“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,»Dit Potapov, qui a jeté 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.

 

“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”

 

Après le combat, St. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.

 

“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.

 

“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.

 

“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 KOs) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. The Dominican Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, but he had no answer for Menard’s power. Less than one minute into third, Menard connected with a huge right, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 KOs) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement ce soir. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,” said Menard, who landed nearly 50 pour cent de ses coups en puissance. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.

 

“I said a prayer for him in the middle of the ring that he goes back to his family healthy.”

 

Bernardo, who was removed from the ring on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, was taken to nearby Oneida Healthcare where he was awake and responsive.

 

Dans le combat d'ouverture de la télédiffusion, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru main Alexey Zubov the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 deux fois.

 

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 KOs) controlled the fight from the outset. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. Zubov (10-1, 6 KOs) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.

 

“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”

 

Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146e et 147e boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

RUSSIA’S ZUBOV LIVING OUT HIS DREAMS FIGHTING FOR DETROIT’S KRONK GYM WHILE PREPARING FOR HIS SHOBOX: THE NEW GENERATION DEBUT THIS FRIDAY, Avril 15

BROOKLYN, New York (Avril 12, 2016) – As a kid growing up in Magnitogorsk, Russie,cruiserweight Alexey Zubov heard stories about the fabled Kronk Gym and the late legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, but never thought he’d have a chance to join the team.

I’ve been in Detroit for the last two months and I am so happy; I want to stay here, train here and live here,” said Zubov. “Every Russian fighter knows about Kronk Gym and Emanuel Steward.
Zubov is currently winding down camp with his trainer and Steward’s nephew Javan “Sucre” Hill at the resurgent Kronk Gym. “I like Javan’s style,” said Zubov, “and I’ve learned so much about hand speed and footwork and about using intelligence in the ringhow you need to think when you’re in a fight.
Alexey is able to learn a lot and absorb boxing knowledge easily,” M. Hill. “He barely speaks English and yet he soaks it in. C'est incroyable. I brought him in to spar with Banks and when we were training, Alexey just sat on the side and watched. Plus tard, he was sparring with Johnathon and I told him to stop. I said ‘listen here. I’m training Jonathon Banks and you’re doing everything I told him to do. What’s wrong with you?’ Then I laughed and said ‘I like that. Keep watching. I’ll teach you everything you want to know.’ “
Hill says this camp with Zubov was a transition for the fighter. “We are moving into the championship level where you train for a specific fighter. A lot of it is strategy and planning. The only thing I worry about is him being too excited. He’s very high-strung and wants to prove things. I have to control him and keep him from getting over-excited. That’s what we’ve been working on. He gets antsy when he’s excited.
Training was prefect. Je suis 100 pour cent prêt,” said Zubov. “I know Bejenaru is a southpaw and he is a short guy with a good record. It’s my first time on SHOWTIME and I am so happy to be showing the world what I can do.
