Simply The Best! Mark Breland
luokka 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana
COLORADO SPRINGS, Kierros. (Joulukuu 3, 2019) – Arguably the greatest American amateur boxer of all-time, Mark Breland will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday night, Joulukuu 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 US-. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 SM, Joulukuu. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Joulukuu. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Kasino. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.
The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George Foremanja “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesAl Mitchell jaRay Rodgers.
Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.
“I’m very happy to be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Breland said. “It really means a lot, especially going in this year with Foreman and Frazier. I guess it proves I’ve done a lot in boxing. I’m happy to be going in. I had a lot of fun in USA Boxing. To be going into the same Hall of Fame withEvander (Holyfield) (Muhammed) Olemme, Työnjohtaja, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”
Breland, ironisesti, first got into boxing at the age of eight, due to him being brought to his first boxing match, Frazier-Ali I, at Madison Square Garden. “We were up in the top seats,” the Brooklyn-born and raised Breland remembered like it was yesterday. “The crowd, the atmosphere…all I could think of was, wow! I didn’t realize until I got older that there were so many stars there watching Ali and Frazier, because they were all at ringside.
“The next day I went to a gym. I was really skinny, small, but I came back the next day. I enjoyed working out and fell in love with boxing. I wanted to box in big tournaments. This is what I wanted to do, but I had hid boxing from my parents. They knew I had I played football, but that was okay with them, because unlike in boxing, we had a helmet. I won at the Junior Olympics and it was in the papers. I saw it and thought my mother was going to kill me. My mother asked me why I hadn’t told her, so I invited her to watch me fight in the Golden Gloves. She was in one of the front rows, but afterwards when I asked her what she thought when I knocked out my opponent, she said she didn’t see it because she had closed her eyes.”
Breland went on to become a five-time New York Golden Gloves champion with a 21-0 ennätys, mukaan lukien 19 aihiot, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Saksa, after which he was named the No. 1 welterweight in the world by AIBA. He was also selected as Boxer of the Year (1982) by USAABF.
At 1984 Olympiakisat, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,
along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Meldrick Taylor, Pernell Whitaker, Jerry Page,Frank Tate, Henry Tillman jaTyrell Biggs.
Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 KOs) ennätys, appeared to be cooler than the other side of the pillow on a hot, steamy night. No real celebrations after he won gold, to the contrary, Mark was emotionless, the same as he still is today as a trainer of champions.
“I’ve always been really laid back,” he explained. “I just remember raising my hands. At an Olympic press conference, I was asked if I was happy, and I just said I was glad it was over. I guess I didn’t seem excited. I was happy but calm. It’s the same way now (as a trainer); it’s just me. I’m happy to win and happy to be doing what I do.”
“Mark’s dominance over his competition throughout his USA Boxing career cements him as a legend,” commentedChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Associationin pääjohtaja. “His ring intelligence, commitment to his craft, and ability to fight at any pace against any style makes him a tremendous example for today’s group of amateur champions. It has been a long time coming, but the Alumni Association looks forward to reflecting on his accomplishments and honoring Mark in Louisiana.”

Breland made his much-anticipated pro debut November 15, 1984, at the famed Madison Square Garden, defeating Dwight Williams by way of a six-round unanimous decision. During his illustrious pro career (1984-1997), Breland compiled a sterling 35-3-1 (35 KOs) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.
The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, suuri 1992 US OlympianVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 Olympic pronssimitalisti, Deontay Wilder, the reigning World Boxing Council heavyweight champion.
“Once I started boxing in the amateurs,” Breland concluded, “I started progressing. I learned a lot from other amateurs like different styles. Boxers from New York/New Jersey had different styles than boxers from Georgia/Florida, and fighting Cubans was completely different. I was beating up a Cuban fighter, but every time I hit him, somehow, they took away a point from me. I knew right away that I had to knock him out to win, and they did end up stopping the fight.”

“Smokin’”Joe Frazier punched way into USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame
luokka 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana
COLORADO SPRINGS, Kierros. (Marraskuu 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, myöhässä, suuri“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, perjantai-ilta, Joulukuu 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Joulukuu. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.
“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis Frazier sanoi, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.
“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatMuhammad Ali in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”
Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, kokoaminen 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.
When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.
Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. Avauskierroksen, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Australia) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Venäjä) semifinaali kierroksella, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.
Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, vastaanHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.
“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”
Frazier (32-4-1, 27 KOs) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMuhammad Ali, Jimmy Ellis (kahdesti), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(kahdesti), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen jaGeorge Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.
Listed at only 5-11 ½, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.
“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Associationin pääjohtaja. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring. We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13th."

DEONTAY WILDER AND TYSON FURY FIGHT TO SPLIT-DECISION DRAW IN EPIC BATTLE ON SHOWTIME PPV® FROM STAPLES CENTER IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES (Joulukuu. 1, 2018) - Deontay "Pronssipommittaja" Wilder ja Tyson "Gypsy King" Fury taistelivat SHOWTIME PPV® -tapahtuman kanssa jaettuun päätökseen lauantai-iltana STAPLES Centeriltä, joka on epäilemättä yksi parhaista raskaansarjan taisteluista viime vuosina. A
Hallittuaan WBC: n MM-taistelun aikaisin, Raivo (27-0-1, 19 KOs) ihmeellisesti voitti kaksi Wilderin pudotusta (40-0-1, 39 KOs) - mukaan lukien yksi kierros 12 - epätodennäköisessä arvonnassa. Tuomarit teki bout 115-111 joukkueelle Wilder, 114-112 Fury ja 113-113.
"Luulen, että voitin taistelun kahdella pudotuksella,”Wilder sanoi, joka on äänittänyt pudotuksen jokaisessa 41 Pro taistelee ja puolustaa WBC-vyöään kahdeksatta kertaa siitä lähtien 2015. "Kaatoimme sydämemme ulos tänä iltana. Olemme molemmat sotureita, mutta noilla kahdella pudotuksella luulen voittaneeni taistelun. "
Fury näki sen eri tavalla, toteamalla, että hän antoi sille kaiken mitä hänellä oli.
"Olemme poissa maasta, Minua kaatettiin kahdesti, mutta uskon silti voittaneeni tämän taistelun,”Sanoi Englannin raivo, jonka hämmästyttävä paluu jatkuu kahden ja puolen vuoden poissaolon jälkeen huume- ja alkoholiriippuvuudesta sekä mielenterveyskysymyksistä. "Toivon, että tein kaikki ylpeät, kun melkein kolme vuotta olin poissa kehästä.. Minua ei koskaan kaatettu tänä iltana. Osoitin hyvää sydäntä noustaakseni. Tulin tänä iltana ja taistelin sydämeni.”
Se oli sähköistävä yö, johon osallistuminen ilmoitettiin klo 17,698 tuulettimet, johon kuului Hollywood-tähtiä ja taistelufaneja, kuten entiset Lakers-suuret Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry länteen, entiset NFL-tähdet Michael Strahan ja Michael Irvin, ja nyrkkeilylegendat Evander Holyfield ja Floyd Mayweather.
Raivo, kuka laskeutui Wilderiin 84-71 yleinen, Wilder tarttui lyhyeen oikeaan käteen vasemman korvan takana pudottaakseen Fury kolmannen kerran urallaan yhdeksännellä kierroksella. Sitten 12. päivä, Wilderin oikean ja vasemman koukun yhdistelmä lähetti 6 jalan 9 Fury taas alas, lyömällä päätä kankaalle. Jälleen, hän onnistui nousemaan ylös ja erotuomari Jack Reiss antoi hänen jatkaa taistelua.
”Nyrkkeily on aina odottamattomien tapahtumien teatteri, ja niin meillä oli tänään,”SHOWTIME-asiantuntija-analyytikko Al Bernstein sanoi.
Bernstein said seeing Fury get up and continue to fight after the brutal knockdown was “one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever seen in the boxing ring.”
SHOWTIME boxing historian and commentator Steve Farhood had Fury controlling the early rounds and Fury winning rounds 3-8, and ultimately scored the fight, 115-111.
Because of a rematch clause, both fighters were asked if they would like to do it again. “I would love for it to be my next fight,” Wilder said. “Why not? Let’s give the fans what they want to see. It was a great fight and let’s do it again. It doesn’t matter to me where we do it.”
“One hundred percent we’ll do the rematch,” said Fury, taisteli ensimmäisessä raskaansarjan otsikkokilpailussa Amerikassa sen jälkeen 2002. ”Olemme kaksi suurta mestaria. Minä ja tämä mies olemme planeetan kaksi parasta raskaspainoa. "
Wilder sanoi, että hän tuli ulos hitaasti ja ryntäsi lyöntejään. "En istunut paikallaan. Olin liian epäröivä. Aloin kaataa oikean käden, enkä pystynyt sopeutumaan. "
Raivo, taistelee kolmannen kerran tänä vuonna 26-vuotiaan kouluttajan Ben Davisonin kulmassa, myös hänen entinen nyrkkeilyn upea Ricky Hatton ja seitsemän vuoden valmentaja Freddie Roach kulmassa.
Johdossa taistelussa Wilder-Furyyn, "Swift" Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 KOs) puolusti 154 kilon IBF- ja WBA-maailmanmestaruusvyöjään neljännen kierroksen pudotuksella Yhdistyneen kuningaskunnan James Welbornia vastaan (24-7, 7 KOs), joka taisteli ensimmäistä kertaa Amerikan mailla.
Welborn oli hyökkääjä neljännen kierroksen ensimmäisellä minuutilla, Hurdin lähettäminen köysiin lyönnillä sen jälkeen, kun hän oli lyönyt vartalon ja pään. Yhtäkkiä huomannut, että hänellä saattaa olla vaikeuksia, Hoke of Accokeek, Md., vastasi äkillisistä vastoinkäymisistä dramaattisella tavalla ja lähetti Welbornin takaisinseurantaan, ennen kuin tuhoisa kehon lyönti lähetti hänet yhdelle polvelle. Hänet laskettiin ulos 1:55 erotuomari Lou Moret, joka oli 30 vuotta kestäneen uransa viimeinen taistelu.
Taistelun jälkeen, voittamaton superkeskikokoinen Jermell Charlo astui kehään haastamaan Hurdin himoitut vyöt. "Haluamme ehdottomasti Charloa,”Hurd kertoi SHOWTIME Sportsille’ Jim Gray, sanomalla, että ottelu tapahtuu todennäköisesti vielä yhden taistelun jälkeen. "Soitan laukauksia. Olen ei. 1 right now. When I say answer the phone, answer the phone. I got the date.”
Charlo shot back. “This is easy money. I like those belts – they look real good on you. He said he wants another fight. I’m ready now.”
Hurd, who unified the WBA and IBF belts by beating WBA champion Erislandy Lara in April in Las Vegas, was returning with a surgically repair left shoulder. He threw 118 jabs, more than half of the 220 punches he threw in the fight.
“I’m just coming off surgery so I wanted to see how I worked off the jab,” Hurd said. “I felt good I was working behind the jab I got caught on the ropes and got caught with some shots and said ‘that’s enough. He got enough TV time.’ I heard the crowd and I didn’t want to get brave. So I turned it up and got the knockdown.”
Former Wilder foe and heavyweight southpaw Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (30-1, 26 KOs) returned to STAPLES Center for a second consecutive victory with a resounding 10th-round TKO against Travis “My Time” Kauffman (32-3, 23 KOs) Reading, Pa.
The 39-year-old Ortiz of Camaguey, Kuuba, registered left-cross knockdowns in the sixth, eighth and 10th rounds before the final blow coming later in the 10th round against a gritty Kauffman. It was the 26th career stoppage for Ortiz, who lost to Wilder in a Fight of the Year candidate back in March.
The fight was officially called at 1:58 of the 10th round. "Olen soturi,” Ortiz said. “Nothing contains me. We didn’t have to knock him out but we wanted to show everything we have in our repertoire, and we showed it tonight.”
Ortiz, who was warned twice for low blows, clipped Kauffman for a second time by a lethal left hand of Ortiz at 2:29 kahdeksannen kierroksen. But just like the first time he was send to canvas in the sixth round, Kauffman was able to get up and continue fighting.
The technically sound performance by Ortiz included 376 jab attempts to Kauffman’s 99 and out-landing him 66-7. That led to a 135-37 lead in total connects and a 69-30 margin in power connects against Kauffman, who SHOWTIME commentator Paulie Malignaggi called, “a stubborn guy who wouldn’t go away.”
“Of course I’ll fight the winner of this fight [Wilder-Fury],” Ortiz said. “I want that second fight with Wilder. Haluan taistella ketään vastaan. ”
Pay-per-view-televisiolähetyksessä, Joe “Juggernaut” Joyce (7-0, 7 KOs) äänitti massiivisen ensimmäisen kierroksen pudotuksen Joe “The Future” Hanksia vastaan (23-3, 15 KOs). Kasvava raskas, Joyce, Lontoosta, Englanti, päättyi taistelu virallisesti heti 2:25 kun hän käytti oikeaa leukaa perustamaan melkein täydellisen vasemman koukun, joka lähetti Hanksin kankaalle ja alas laskemaan.
Koulutettu tunnettu kouluttaja Abel Sanchez, Joyce kertoi Graylle, että hän on valmis kenelle tahansa. ”Haluan osallistua isompiin taisteluihin,”Sanoi entinen olympiakisojen hopeamitalin voittaja, joka kirjattiin neljännen ensimmäisen kierroksen KO. "Minulla on mennyt hyvin, joten on vielä paljon tulossa. Kaikki tuki kotona Englannissa, Kiitos, että tulit. Toivottavasti laitoin jotain hyvää katsottavaa. "
It was the second win in the United States for Joyce, who also picked up the vacant WBA Continental heavyweight title. “I’m getting people out quickly,", Hän sanoi. “I’ve got a lot of experience, I’m just going to improve on my strength and my speed. I’ve heard comments that I’m slow but I seem to land the shots and get the job done.”
It was the third time during his career that Hanks, from Newark, N.J., has been knocked down by a left hook.

LOS ANGELES (Marraskuu 30, 2018) – One day before the most significant heavyweight event in the U.S. yli 15 vuotta, heavyweight legends have descended on Los Angeles to discuss the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury showdown that will be live on SHOWTIME PPV® Saturday night from STAPLES Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
A media roundtable featured heavyweight greats Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowen, Gerry Cooney, Earnie Shavers, Buster Douglas ja Michael Spinks as they broke down Saturday’s battle of unbeaten giants.
Liput tapahtumaan, which is promoted by BombZquad Enterprises and Queensberry Promotions, in association with TGB Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, are on sale now and are available via AXS.com. Wilder vs. Fury will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV. The suggested retail price (SRP) for the pay-per-view telecast is $64.99 for standard definition.
The roundtable was hosted by SHOWTIME Sports award-winning reporter Jim Gray from the Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites, Los Angeles. Here is what the heavyweight legends had to say Friday:
EVANDER HOLYFIELD
“I feel that Deontay Wilder will win because eventually he’ll land that right hand. He’s very patient. He’s a thinker, but he can also take chances. When people take chances, they win.
“Deontay might not have as much experience as we did in our day, but he’s got the power. That’s what the people want to see and I think they’re going to be happy when they see it.
“There was a point in time where every great heavyweight was from the United States. We had a very good amateur program. I was the last true heavyweight champion from the U.S. before Wilder and until I lost the decision against Lennox.
“To be the heavyweight champion of the world, and to say you’re the best, you have to fight any man.”
Lennox Lewis
“I think it’s going to be a great fight. Deontay Wilder has a terrific right hand and when it lands, not too many people can stand up to it. I also think that you can’t hurt what you can’t hit. Tyson Fury is not an easy person to hit. He has great ability and movement. I’m going with Deontay early or Fury late.
“We all know how it feels to lose the heavyweight championship. We know how hard it is to gain it back. Fury has lost it, and now he wants it back. I can see now that he’s sacrificing and saying to himself that he shouldn’t have lost it, and now he has to regain it.
“I think the view in the U.K. is that Tyson Fury is the man that stepped up. The gauntlet was thrown out there and he stood up for Britain. Deontay came to England to challenge Anthony Joshua, but it was Tyson Fury who answered the call.
“I would say that there are a couple of meccas in boxing that are places where everyone wants to fight. Las Vegas, New York and of course, Los Angeles. My fight against Vitali Klitschko at STAPLES Center was a great fight. My plan that night was not to box to go the distance, I boxed to go a short distance and it did.”
RIDDICK BOWE
“I’m going with Deontay Wilder tomorrow night. He’s going to put on a great show for everyone and get another knockout.
“Tyson Fury is skilled and tall, mutta minusta, he doesn’t do enough on offense. He moves but he doesn’t move his hands enough.”
GERRY COONEY
“I think it’s a great fight tomorrow night. We know that Fury is coming back motivated. If Wilder finds a home for that right, he’s going to take Fury out. I think he’s going to connect at some point during the fight.
“I think Tyson Fury is a great man for how far he’s come back in his life and for standing up to Deontay Wilder. Fury called him out, so maybe he knows something we don’t know.
“I’m so glad to be up here. Look at all these great heavyweights and great guys. It’s special and they’re all here to watch this fight tomorrow night.”
EARNIE SHAVERS
“Me and Deontay are both from Alabama. I’ll be inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame soon and Deontay will be there one day as well. Deontay is a great puncher and I’m pulling for him tomorrow night.
“I fought in a great era. If you fight guys on the same level, you’ll get good fights. These guys today could get in there in our day and put on a good show.”
BUSTER DOUGLAS
“I think this is going to be a good competitive fight. If I had to pick, I’d take Deontay Wilder by knockout in the eighth round.
“I feel like Tyson Fury has already won by battling back and getting into great shape and being in this position. I’m sure many people thought they’d never see him back here. That’s a victory in itself.
“My victory over Mike Tyson changed my life in a great way. I was now the heavyweight champion of the world. My dream had come true. Seeing my two youngest kids being born was the only thing that could top it.”
MICHAEL SPINKS
“Voi paras mies voittaa. I don’t know who’s in the best of shape but I think Fury being out of the ring makes me lean toward Deontay Wilder. If Fury is as big in person as they say he is, he’s got a great chance.
“If you’re the underdog, you just have to go on what you know and what you’ve worked on. You can’t pay attention to the doubters. You focus on what you’ve prepared yourself for and give it your all. I always saw myself winning. It’s the greatest feeling to come out of the ring victorious.”
