“Dit is 'n groot eer vir my en my pa,” Bob gesê. “Ek wens hy het vandag gelewe om daar te wees. Ek is 'n bokser. Ek was agt jaar oud wat saam met my pa na al die oefenkampe gegaan het, wat 'n boksskrywer en sportredakteur vir die INS was (Hearst Nuusdiens) diens. Die grap is ek is by Grossinger verwek (Catskill Resort Hotel opleidingskamp). Boks het pas in my lewe gekom. Ek en my pa het 'n paar besighede gehad in promosies en openbare betrekkinge, alle verskillende soorte sportverwante besighede, maar daar was altyd geboks.
“Ek is die gelukkigste ou in die wêreld. Ek is opgevoed om dieselfde dinge te doen waarvoor ek lief was. Hoeveel mense kan dit sê? Ek het Joe Louis ontmoet en daarmee bevriend geraak, Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano en soveel ander. Ek sal weke lank in kampe bly. Ek het opgestaan ​​om saam met die boksers te hardloop en die kans gekry om rondom my helde te wees. Ek het ook afrigters en ander in boks leer ken en later aanhangers. Ek het almal leer ken. Ek is in boks grootgemaak, my hele lewe was boks, 65 jare in die besigheid.”
Bob is, miskien, veral bekend as visepresident en pasmaat vir Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), asook 'n kwarteeu wat as Vise-President van Boksbedrywighede gedien het, Pasmaat en Direkteur van Openbare Betrekkinge vir Don King Productions. Hy het ook baie wêreldkampioene bevorder as president van sy eie maatskappy, Garden State Boks.
“Ek onthou hoe ek vir weke op 'n slag weggegaan het na oefenkampe,” het die 78-jarige Goodman met liefde onthou. “Ek sou foto's neem, skryf elke dag stories en gebruik my telekopieerder om dit na AP en UPI te stuur. Ek het soveel gedoen om by die besigheid grootgemaak te word, laai selfs trokke met stoele op, die ring, sprekers en meer. My pa was die publisiteitsdirekteur vir die Internasionale Boksklub by Madison Square Garden. Ek het daar gewerk toe ek 'n tiener was.
“Ek is geëerd om saam met my pa en soveel boksouens in die New York State Boxing Hall of Fame opgeneem te word. Hulle verskil van mense in enige ander sportsoorte. Een van die toekennings wat ek gewen het waarop ek die trotsste is, is die James J. Walker-gedenktoekenning vir lang en verdienstelike diens aan boks (BWAA in 1960).
“Ek is gelukkig om verskeie eras in boks te oorskry. Dit was destyds 'n ander wêreld, ons het 20-30 skrywers bly vir weke by oefenkampe. Ek het outydse boksers en afrigters leer ken.”

Gaballo Captures First World Championship with Unanimous Decision over Young in “Rumble at the Rock” at Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood

Skryf 'n opmerking
Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo Algemene Santos City, Filippyne, captured his first version of a world title and introduced himself to the world stage with a unanimous decision victory over perennial top contender Stephon “Showstopper” Young van St. Louis.
Fighting in the main event of Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory’s “Rumble at the Rock” at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, the hard-punching Gaballo (19-0, 16 Uitklophoue) became the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Champion with unanimous scores of 118-109, 117-110 en 117-110.
Young, nou 17-1-3, 7 Uitklophoue, was down in round three and badly hurt, but to his credit, got up and kept it exciting and closer than the scores indicate throughout the remainder of the 12 rondes.
The speed and reflexes of 19-year-old Honolulu-based welterweight prospect Logan “Korican Kid” Yoon (11-0, 10 Uitklophoue) overcame the determination and experience of former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (27-8-1, 16 Uitklophoue) of Mexico City over 10 workmanlike rounds.
Fighting for the NABO Super Lightweight Championship, Yoon showed surprising poise and maturity for a young fighter in his 11th fight and seemed unphased to be facing such an accomplished foe. His sharp counters landed with regularity on the tough former champion. Tot sy krediet, Salgado fought bravely, but at 33 jaar oud, seems to have lost a step.
Die tellings was 100-89, 97-92 en 98-91, unanimously for Yoon.
Former WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Juan Carlos Payano survived a real scare against “Magic” Mike Plania in their 10-round brawl for the NABO Super Bantamweight Championship.
After a strong first couple rounds, Plania, nou 14-1, 7 Uitklophoue, had Payano down and badly hurt near the end of round three.
He never really threatened Payano again. A consummate professional, Payano (20-1, 9 Uitklophoue), of Miami via La Vega, Dominikaanse Republiek, came out for round four with the answers for neutralizing the harder punches of his Philippine opponent and never lost another round.
Die tellings was 96-93, 97-92 en 97-92, unanimously for the new champion Payano.
The 6-foot 9-inch heavyweight from Kissimmee, Florida, via Rudniy, Kazakhstan, Ivan Dychko (7-0, 6 Uitklophoue) scored a highlight-reel first-round, one-punch knockout over Miami Beach’s formerly undefeated Stephan Kirnon (2-1, 2 Uitklophoue).
Kirnon, admirably, came out aggressive against the giant, but quickly ran into a shot that propelled him violently into the floor. The fight was immediately waved off at :38. Dychko, a two-time Olympic Super Heavyweight Bronze medallist, could not have been more impressive.
In a 10-round battle for the NABA-USA Featherweight Championship Miami via Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan bomber Mussa “Warrior” Tursyngaliyev (8-0, 7 Uitklophoue) clubbed away at brave, but outgunned Luis “Barcelo” HINOJOSA (31-14, 18 Uitklophoue) van Santo Domingo, Dominikaanse Republiek, until stopping him at the end of round three.
Tursyngaliyev is very strong and accurate, and he had things all his way throughout. He scored a knockdown in the second and finished it a round later. Hinojosa elected to stay on his stool, probably wisely.
Miami super welterweight JD “Pretty Boy” Martinez (9-0, 7 Uitklophoue)
managed to squeak out a questionable majority six-round decision over fellow Floridian Jose “Colombian Necktie” Cortes (3-2, 1 KO) of West Palm Beach.
Cortes chased Martinez around the ring, seemingly with the harder punches and a more aggressive demeanor, but it was not enough to please the judges. They scored it 57-57 draw against 58-56 en 58-56 for Martinez.
Popular Miami welterweight Harold Calderon (15-0, 9 Uitklophoue) took a round or two to settle in against Barranquilla, Colombia’s Ronald “Wild” Montes (18-8, 16 Uitklophoue), maar, once he got his rhythm, it was all over.
The powerful undefeated southpaw lobbed enough accurate bombs to convince his Colombian foe to pack it in at the end of third round of their scheduled six. The official result is TKO 3 by 2:59. Calderon is ready for deeper water.
In an entertaining all-Florida super bantamweight bout, Miami’s popular Jessy “Beast Boy” Kruis (12-7-1, 5 Uitklophoue) and Palm Bay’s Sam Rodriquez (5-2, 3 Uitklophoue) slugged it out over six exciting rounds.
In die einde, Rodriquez took a razor-thin unanimous decision (58-55, 57-56 en 57-56) on the strength of a fourth-round knockdown.
Fighting out of the southpaw stance, the heavily muscled Cruz got out to an early lead and rocked the smaller Rodriquez with his thudding left hand. But Rodriquez hung tough and clawed back into it by round three.
The pair went back and forth the entire fight and it could have gone either way.
Former WBO Asia Pacific Light Heavyweight Champion Steve “The Ambassador” Geffrard (17-2, 12 Uitklophoue) of Boca Raton stopped Budapest, Hungary’s Zoltan Sera (38-16-1, 20 Uitklophoue) in the fourth of a scheduled six.
For the first three rounds, Geffrard, who lost his first two fights and hasn’t lost since, shook off the rust and kept his composure against the awkward offerings of his European foe. He finally broke through in the fourth, scoring two knockdowns and prompting Referee Sam Burgos to wave it off at :39.
Miami’s Jorge De Jesus Romero (5-0, 4 Uitklophoue) put on a bodyshot clinic in his abbreviated six-round super bantamweight battle against Hungarian veteran Szilveszter Ajtai (12-10-1, 2 Uitklophoue).
In the first, Romero came forward like an aggressive buzzsaw against the circling Ajtai. In die tweede, he lowered the boom, scoring three consecutive bodyshot knockdowns, and necessitating a stoppage at 2:01. Impressive showing for the Florida prospect.
The son of a legend, Robert Duran Jr. of Fort Lauderdale made his impressive professional welterweight debut by stopping Orlando’s also debuting Miguel Morales in die vierde ronde.
Morales was no pushover, but Duran, looking like he already has some seasoning, put educated combinations together and waited for his opening. It came in the final stanza, as he scored his first knockdown of Morales with a right to the body left uppercut combo, and then finished things off with a thudding right hand that produced a second knockdown.
Referee James Warring waved it off without a count at 2:21.

Undefeated ‘Korican Kid’ Logan Yoon to Face Former Two-Time World Champion Juan Carlos Salgado at ‘Rumble at the Rock’ This Friday at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida

Skryf 'n opmerking
Fast-rising Hawaiian welterweight prospect Logan “Korican Kid” Yoon (10-0, 10 Uitklophoue) says he’s expecting a big 2018.
The 19-year-old phenom from Honolulu will face Mexican former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (27-7-1, 16 Uitklophoue) in a 10-round battle for the IBF Youth Welterweight World Championship in one of the supporting bouts of hierdie Vrydag “Rumble at the Rock” event at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
In the night’s 12-round main event, St. Louis’ Stephon “Showstopper” Young (17-0-3, 7 Uitklophoue) will face Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo (18-0, 16 Uitklophoue) from General Santos City, Philippines for the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Championship. In the 10-round co-main event, former WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion Juan Carlos Payano (19-1, 9 Uitklophoue) will fight against undefeated Philippine “Magic” Mike Plania (14-0, 7 Uitklophoue).
“Rumble at the Rock” is presented by Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory. Kaartjies kos $255, $130, $80 en $55. All seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets, aanlyn by www.myhrl.com, www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone: 1-800-745-3000. Additional fees may apply.
The young knockout artist Yoon, trained by his father George, was an
eight-time Hawaii State champion, an Adidas national and Ringside national champion and a junior Olympic bronze medalist.
“Training went awesome,” het hy gesê. “We had no problems. Nou, we’re putting on finishing touches – last pound or two.”
Yoon got his unique nickname from a family member as a child.
“Korican Kid is a nickname my aunt gave me. There’s a Korean part of me and a Puerto Rican part. My dad is 100-percent Korean and my mom is Portuguese and Puerto Rican.”
While he doesn’t know much about upcoming foe Salgado, Yoon says he’s confident he’ll be notching his eleventh pro victory.
“I know he is a former champ and has some experience against top guys. He’s right-handed. He’s a pretty busy fighter, but I’ll be able to keep up with him. I just don’t see how he can do anything to me with my age and physicality advantages. I won’t look for my 11ste straight KO, but if it comes, I’ll take it.”
Yoon says he realized his natural power early on in his boxing life. “After my second amateur fight, I realized that when I hit people, they react and start backing up. I can see it in them: the fear.”
The father and son duo still live in Hawaii, but travel to train at their promoter’s Heavyweight Factory Gym in Miami.
“It’s awesome. It’s almost like a dream,” het hy gesê. “I have Riddick Bowe in the gym every day mentoring me and, once in a while, we have Evander Holyfield when he’s not busy on trips. My manager and promoters are the best and treat me like someone. I love them. I love the atmosphere.”
A young KO artist making a name for himself quickly with a strong promotional team behind him. Yoon, a deeply religious man, says he’s looking forward to a big year.
“I’m ready to make some big moves. I know my manager, Henry Rivalta, is going to put me into fights with better opponents. I just have to make sure we train hard and put in the work, and I will come out on top.”

Young vs. Gaballo headlines promoter Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory’s “Rumble at the Rock,” an 11-bout night of world-class professional boxing. In the 10-round co-main, former WBA Super World Bantamweight Champion Juan Carlos Payano (19-1, 9 Uitklophoue) neem op “Magic” Mike Plania (14-0, 7 Uitklophoue) from General Santos City, Filippyne.
Kaartjies kos $255, $130, $80 en $55. All seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets, aanlyn by www.myhrl.com, www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone: 1-800-745-3000. Additional fees may apply.
29-year-old southpaw Young says that while Gaballo obviously has some strength to have such a high KO percentage, he is too green to be in the ring with a fighter at his level and experience.
“Om eerlik te wees, Ek neem niks van hom, but they should have stepped him up with a different opponent first and not thrown him in with a guy like me,” Jong gesê. “I feel he’s not ready yet and that will show volgende Vrydag. He should have had two or three more fights, but I feel like just because it’s for a title, they are rushing toward it. It’s a good opportunity for him, but they’re not thinking enough about what’s going to happen to him. I will be bringing everything I’ve got that night.”
Young, who still lives in St. Louis but travels to Miami for camp, says coming up the hard way in boxing and then meeting up with his current team will make all the difference volgende Vrydag.
“When I turned pro, I didn’t get signed right off the bat with a big-time promoter,” het hy gesê. “I went and fought in people’s backyards and proved myself. I was given nothing, but I knew my time would come. I stayed focused and continued to train. I’ve been with my coach, Herman Caicedo, now for two years and I’m a totally different fighter. I want to thank my team, my promoter Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory for giving me this opportunity, my manager Henry Rivalta for always believing in me and my coach Herman Caicedo for getting me in the best shape I’ve ever been.”
For Young, lifting the belt over his head volgende Vrydag will be a dream come true.
“Wen hierdie stryd beteken dat alles. It’s a big accomplishment and nothing can keep me from my dreams. Op Maart 23, I will be champion.”
“Rumble at the Rock” is proudly sponsored by Armero Tequila. Special guests expected that evening include former heavyweight champions Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe and Evander “Die Real Deal” Holyfield. Op stryd nag, Hard Rock Event Center will open its doors at 6 namiddag. met die eerste rondte begin by 7 namiddag. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is geleë op 1 Seminole Way in Hollywood, Florida.
