Diumenge, Abril 29, Sopar Inducció
Kid Xocolata, James J. Corbett, Jack McAuliffe i Sam Taub encapçalen la nova classe

(L-R) – Bob i Murray Goodman
NOVA YORK (Març 26, 2018) – Salvadors de boxa Bob Goodman i el seu pare, la tarda Murray Goodman, són entre 23 membres de la classe de 2018 sent ingressat al Saló de la Fama de la Boxa de l’Estat de Nova York (NYSBHOF) a Diumenge tarda (12:30-5:30 p.m. I), Abril 29.
El setè sopar anual d’inducció al NYSBHOF se celebrarà un any més a Russo’s On The Bay a Howard Beach, Nova York.
Un llegendari publicista de boxa, Murray Goodman (Bronx) va portar el seu fill a la dolça ciència quan Bob només tenia vuit anys. La resta va ser històrica per als Goodmans, els dos són ingressats en diversos salons de la fama, incloent el Saló Internacional de la Fama de la Boxa.
“Aquest és un gran honor per a mi i per al meu pare,” Va dir Bob. “M’agradaria que fos viu avui per ser-hi. Sóc un boxador. Tenia vuit anys anant a tots els camps d’entrenament amb el meu pare, que va ser escriptor de boxa i editor esportiu de l’INS (Servei de Notícies Hearst) servei. L’acudit és que vaig ser concebut a Grossinger (Catskill Resort Hotel camp d’entrenament). La boxa acaba d’entrar a la meva vida. El meu pare i jo teníem negocis en promocions i relacions públiques, tot tipus de negocis relacionats amb l’esport, però sempre hi havia boxa.
“Sóc el noi més afortunat del món. Em van criar fent les coses que més m’agradaven. Quanta gent ho pot dir? Vaig conèixer i em vaig fer amic de Joe Louis, Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano i tants altres. Em quedaria setmanes als campaments. M’aixecava per córrer amb els boxadors i tenia l’oportunitat d’estar al voltant dels meus herois. També vaig conèixer entrenadors i altres entrenadors de boxa i aficionats posteriors. Vaig conèixer a tothom. Em van criar a la boxa, tota la meva vida va ser la boxa, 65 anys al negoci.”
Bob ho és, potser, més conegut com a vicepresident i aparellador de Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), així com un quart de segle exercint de vicepresident d’operacions de boxa, Matchmaker i director de relacions públiques de Don King Productions. També va ascendir a molts campions del món com a president de la seva pròpia empresa, Boxa Garden State.
“Recordo haver anat a campaments d’entrenament setmanes cada vegada,” va recordar amb afecte el Goodman, de 78 anys. “Faria fotos, escriure històries cada dia i utilitzar la meva telecopiadora per enviar-les a AP i UPI. Vaig fer tant per criar-me al negoci, fins i tot carregant camions amb cadires, l'anell, altaveus i molt més. El meu pare era el director de publicitat del Club Internacional de Boxa al Madison Square Garden. Hi vaig treballar quan era adolescent.
“Estic honrat de ser inclòs al Saló de la Fama de la Boxa de l’Estat de Nova York amb el meu pare i tants homes de boxa. Són diferents de la gent de qualsevol altre esport. Un dels premis amb què estic més orgullós és el James J.. Premi Walker Memorial al servei llarg i meritori de la boxa (BWAA a 1960).
“Tinc la sort d’haver transcendit diverses èpoques de la boxa. Aleshores era un món diferent, vam tenir 20-30 els escriptors es queden setmanes als camps d’entrenament. Vaig conèixer boxadors i entrenadors antics.”

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

Leave a comment
Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo de General Santos City, Filipines, 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” Jove de 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 KOs) became the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Champion with unanimous scores of 118-109, 117-110 i 117-110.
Jove, ara 17-1-3, 7 KOs, 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 KOs) overcame the determination and experience of former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (27-8-1, 16 KOs) 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. Al seu favor, Salgado fought bravely, but at 33 anys, seems to have lost a step.
Les puntuacions van ser 100-89, 97-92 i 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, ara 14-1, 7 KOs, 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 KOs), of Miami via La Vega, República Dominicana, came out for round four with the answers for neutralizing the harder punches of his Philippine opponent and never lost another round.
Les puntuacions van ser 96-93, 97-92 i 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 KOs) scored a highlight-reel first-round, one-punch knockout over Miami Beach’s formerly undefeated Stephan Kirnon (2-1, 2 KOs).
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 KOs) clubbed away at brave, but outgunned Luis “Barcelo” Hinojosa (31-14, 18 KOs) de Sant Domingo, República Dominicana, 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” Martínez (9-0, 7 KOs)
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 i 58-56 for Martinez.
Popular Miami welterweight Harold Calderon (15-0, 9 KOs) took a round or two to settle in against Barranquilla, Colombia’s Ronald “Salvatge” Muntanyes (18-8, 16 KOs), però, 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 a 2:59. Calderon is ready for deeper water.
In an entertaining all-Florida super bantamweight bout, Miami’s popular Jessy “Beast Boy” Creu (12-7-1, 5 KOs) and Palm Bay’s Sam Rodriquez (5-2, 3 KOs) slugged it out over six exciting rounds.
Al final, Rodriquez took a razor-thin unanimous decision (58-55, 57-56 i 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 KOs) of Boca Raton stopped Budapest, Hungary’s Zoltan Sera (38-16-1, 20 KOs) 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 KOs) put on a bodyshot clinic in his abbreviated six-round super bantamweight battle against Hungarian veteran Szilveszter Ajtai (12-10-1, 2 KOs).
In the first, Romero came forward like an aggressive buzzsaw against the circling Ajtai. En el segon, 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 en la quarta ronda.
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

Leave a comment
Fast-rising Hawaiian welterweight prospect Logan “Korican Kid” Yoon (10-0, 10 KOs) 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 KOs) in a 10-round battle for the IBF Youth Welterweight World Championship in one of the supporting bouts of d'aquest divendres “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” Jove (17-0-3, 7 KOs) will face Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo (18-0, 16 KOs) 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 KOs) will fight against undefeated Philippine “Magic” Mike Plania (14-0, 7 KOs).
“Rumble at the Rock” is presented by Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory. Les butlletes estan a $255, $130, $80 i $55. All seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets, en línia en 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,” ell va dir. “We had no problems. Ara, 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 11º 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,” ell va dir. “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 KOs) adquireix “Magic” Mike Plania (14-0, 7 KOs) from General Santos City, Filipines.
Les butlletes estan a $255, $130, $80 i $55. All seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets, en línia en 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.
“Sincerament, Tom res d'ell, but they should have stepped him up with a different opponent first and not thrown him in with a guy like me,” va dir Young. “I feel he’s not ready yet and that will show divendres que ve. 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.”
Jove, 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 divendres que ve.
“When I turned pro, I didn’t get signed right off the bat with a big-time promoter,” ell va dir. “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 divendres que ve will be a dream come true.
“Guanyar aquesta baralla significa tot. It’s a big accomplishment and nothing can keep me from my dreams. En Març 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 “The Real Deal” Holyfield. En la nit del combat, Hard Rock Event Center will open its doors at 6 p.m. amb la primera baralla a partir de les 7 p.m. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is located at 1 Seminole Way a Hollywood, Florida.
