Son / far Bob & Murray Goodman att införas i klass av 2018 New York State Boxing Hall of Fame

Söndag, April 29, induktions~~POS=TRUNC Dinner
Kid Choklad, James J. Corbett, Jack McAuliffe och Sam Taub leder ny klass

(L-R) – Bob och Murray Goodman
NEW YORK (Mars 26, 2018) – Boxningslyftare Bob Goodman och hans far, den sena Murray Goodman, är bland 23 medlemmar i klassen av 2018 införs i New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) på Söndag eftermiddag (12:30-5:30 p.m. OCH), April 29.
Den sjunde årliga NYSBHOF-introduktionsmiddagen kommer att hållas återigen på Russos On The Bay i Howard Beach, New York.
En legendarisk boxningspublicist, Murray Goodman (Bronx) förde sin son till den söta vetenskapen när Bob var bara åtta år gammal. Resten var historisk för Goodmans, som båda är induktörer i flera Halls of Fame, inklusive International Boxing Hall of Fame.
“Detta är en stor ära för mig och min far,” Sa Bob. “Jag önskar att han levde idag att vara där. Jag är en boxare. Jag var åtta år och gick till alla träningslägren med min far, som var boxningsförfattare och sportsredaktör för INS (Hearst News Service) tjänsten. Skämtet är att jag blev tänkt på Grossinger (Catskill Resort Hotel träningsläger). Boxning kom just in i mitt liv. Min pappa och jag hade några företag inom kampanjer och PR, alla olika typer av sportrelaterade företag, men det var alltid boxning.
“Jag är världens lyckligaste kille. Jag växte upp och gjorde just det jag älskade. Hur många kan säga det? Jag träffades och blev vän med Joe Louis, Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano och så många andra. Jag skulle stanna i läger i veckor. Jag skulle resa med boxarna och fick chansen att vara runt mina hjältar. Jag lärde mig också tränare och andra i boxning och senare fans. Jag lär känna alla. Jag växte upp i boxning, hela mitt liv var boxning, 65 år i branschen.”
Bob är, kanske, mest känd som vice president och matchmaker för Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), såväl som ett kvartshundratal som tjänar som vice president för Boxing Operations, Matchmaker och chef för PR för Don King Productions. Han främjade också många världsmästare som president i sitt eget företag, Garden State Boxing.
“Jag minns att jag gick bort till träningsläger i veckor åt gången,” den 78-åriga Goodman kom ihåg. “Jag skulle ta bilder, skriva berättelser varje dag och använd min telekopia för att skicka dem till AP och UPI. Jag gjorde så mycket att få upp verksamheten, även ladda lastbilar med stolar, ringen, högtalare och mer. Min far var publicitetsdirektör för International Boxing Club på Madison Square Garden. Jag arbetade där när jag var tonåring.
“Jag är hedrad över att bli introducerad i New York State Boxing Hall of Fame med min far och så många boxning killar. De skiljer sig från människor inom alla andra sporter. En av de utmärkelser jag har vunnit som jag är mest stolt över är James J. Walker Memorial Award for Long and Meritorious Service to Boxing (BWAA in 1960).
“Jag har turen att ha överskridit olika epoker i boxning. Det var en annan värld då, vi hade 20-30 författare stannar i veckor på träningsläger. Jag lär känna gamla boxare och tränare.”

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

Lämna en kommentar
Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Bitar of General Santos City, Filippinerna, 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” Unga 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 och 117-110.
Unga, nu 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 rundor.
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. På sin meritlista, Salgado fought bravely, but at 33 år gammal, seems to have lost a step.
Poängen var 100-89, 97-92 och 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, nu 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, Dominikanska republiken, came out for round four with the answers for neutralizing the harder punches of his Philippine opponent and never lost another round.
Poängen var 96-93, 97-92 och 97-92, unanimously for the new champion Payano.
The 6-foot 9-inch heavyweight from Kissimmee, Florida, via Rudniy, Kazakstan, 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) Santo Domingo, Dominikanska republiken, 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, förmodligen klokt.
Miami super welterweight JD “Pretty Boy” Martinez (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 och 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 “Vild” Montes (18-8, 16 Kos), men, 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 vid 2:59. Calderon is ready for deeper water.
In an entertaining all-Florida super bantamweight bout, Miami’s popular Jessy “Beast Boy” Kors (12-7-1, 5 Kos) and Palm Bay’s Sam Rodriquez (5-2, 3 Kos) slugged it out over six exciting rounds.
Till slut, Rodriquez took a razor-thin unanimous decision (58-55, 57-56 och 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. I den andra, 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 i den fjärde omgången.
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

Lämna en kommentar
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 denna fredagens “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” Unga (17-0-3, 7 Kos) will face Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Bitar (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. Biljetterna kostar $255, $130, $80 och $55. All seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets, online på 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,” sa han. “We had no problems. Just nu, 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 11th 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,” sa han. “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.”

Stephon Unga: ‘Team Gaballo Not Thinking Enough About What’s Going to Happen to Him’

Lämna en kommentar
St. Louis Bantamweight Young to Face Reymart Gaballo for WBA Interim World Championship on Fredag, Mars 23, at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Kasino, Hollywood, Florida
Perennial 118-lb contender Stephon “Showstopper” Young is finishing up his 13-week training camp in Miami while wondering if his opponent knows what he’s truly in for next week.
På Fredag, Mars 23, in the Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., WBA #4-rated Young (17-0-3, 7 Kos) från St.. Louis will face WBA #5 Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Bitar (18-0, 16 Kos) from General Santos City, Filippinerna, in a 12-round battle for the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Championship.
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) tar på “Magic” Mike Plania (14-0, 7 Kos) from General Santos City, Filippinerna.
Biljetterna kostar $255, $130, $80 och $55. All seats are reserved and available at all Ticketmaster outlets, online på 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.
“För att vara ärlig, Jag tar ingenting från honom, but they should have stepped him up with a different opponent first and not thrown him in with a guy like me,” sagd unge. “I feel he’s not ready yet and that will show nästa fredag. 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.”
Unga, 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 nästa fredag.
“When I turned pro, I didn’t get signed right off the bat with a big-time promoter,” sa han. “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 nästa fredag will be a dream come true.
“Att vinna denna kamp betyder allt. It’s a big accomplishment and nothing can keep me from my dreams. På Mars 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. På Fight Night, Hard Rock Event Center will open its doors at 6 p.m. med den första skjutningen börjar vid 7 p.m. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is located at 1 Seminole Way i Hollywood, Florida.
