Класа на 2019



MARK BRELAND

Означи Breland: “I enjoy boxing, it’s a lot of fun. I’m glad to be here because I’ve seen a lot of fighters I grew up with in the amateurs. I enjoy boxing because it kept me off the streets. I wasn’t a street guy., My father would have beaten me up if I had gotten into trouble in the streets. Boxing kept me off the streets, kept me in the gym. I guess I was good at it. I had a fight with a bully when I was 14 and I beat him up. I went to the gym the same day and my coach asked me what happened. My knuckles were shredded with blood. I told him I had a fight in the street. He said you can’t fight in the street. Then I realized boxing and street fighting are two different things.

Шели Finkel (his manager), when he came into my life, changed a lot of things. Things changed a lot. I focused more on boxing, focused on the Olympic Games, and won championships. Every tournament I went into, Победив, but it was a lot of fun. I wanted to inspire youths. I hope I can inspire some amateurs coming up. To keep going, stay off the streets, and do something that can change your life in a good way., Eddie Futch for life!”



JOE FRAZIER

Marvis Frazier(Joe’s son, сликата): “It is so good today to speak about my father, what he meant to me, and Joe Frazier always said to me, ‘There’s no right way to do wrong, no wrong way to do right.’ Тој рече, if you don’t do right, you’re going to smell this, putting his left fist right to my nose. When it was time for me to do bad, it wasn’t me, wasn’t Marvis Frazier. Значи, денес, I’m still smelling it even if he’s not here.

“I just love to talk boxing. As an amateur I was 46-1 and then when I turned pro, I beat the guy who had knocked me out. I love my father. He was a good guy and a champion. I know everybody know Muhammad Ali and I know everybody know ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier.”



AL MITCHELL

Ал Мичел: “I got rid of anybody over 16 who didn’t want to go to school. I’ve been doing this the longest time and I want to thank the coaches. I had three or four who didn’t care about boxing, but they wanted their kids to get an education. Izzy Acosta is one. I got a perfect record at Marquette High, they’ve all graduated. I have four kids with master’s degrees, Имам 14 who have degrees, and four guys who are policemen and no way they should be policemen. Јас сум благословен.

“Old coaches would tell one you’re only as good as your memories. It’s crazy with kids 14, 14, 15. I had a kid named Vernon Forrest, a four-time world champion., It’s not just about boxing. It’s getting an education and after ten years they have a good life. I want to thank you all for putting me in the Hall of Fame.”




Michael Rodgers (Ray’s son): “Прво, I want to apologize for my father for not being here. He hurt his back over the weekend working a boxing match, believe it or not, and he apologizes for not being here.

“I want to thank USA Boxing and the Alumni Association for recognizing my father for this award. And when he heard about this, he said he didn’t do any of these things during the 72 years he’s been in the sport for awards. He just did what he did for the love this sport and he did what needed to be done.”

USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION



Mike McAtee, Извршен директор, САД бокс (сликата): “On behalf of the Board of Directors, President Tyson Lee, I can only say thank you, Ви благодарам, and thank you. Вечерва, is a culmination of work between our members, our alumni association, but I have to recognize a couple of people. This great event wouldn’t be done without Chris Cugliari, Al Valenti and Nicole Anderson, our Alumni Association Coordinator.

“I have the honor of talking about boxing and obviously we have passion. When Marvis Frazier said this was a brotherhood, a sisterhood, and none of us, quite frankly, who’ve stepped in the ring – I include myself in that – we’re not right. Takes a special person to climb in the ropes. You all can give yourselves a hand for not being right.

“USA Boxing is proud of our history, but more proud of our future, and I can tell you the young men and women battling at the elite levels, we started at 104 and that will be taken down to 13 by Sunday evening. Но,, уште поважно, we’re going to be breeding the next generation of champions, because this is closing the chapter of 2020, but starting the chapter of 2024, and ultimately, when the Olympic Games comeback here in 2028. This is a special time.”



Крис Куliари, Извршен директор, Асоцијација за алумни на боксери во САД: “Three years ago a group of us sat around a table in Kansas City at the National Championships and this idea was hatched: John Brown, Al Valenti, Џон Scully, Christy Halbert, Mike McAtee and a few others. Значи, it’s something I’m very proud of and an organization I’m proud to lead with the support of all of you.

“A quick update of the Alumni Association, we’re at about 1200 members right now and this is our third year. We had events across the country the past year, honoring Micky Ward and Vinny Pazianza in the New England area. We gathered in Chicago. We honored Izzy Acosta at the Junior Olympics in Wisconsin, as well as Buster Douglas and coach Mike Stafford at the Ohio Legends celebration, and here we are today honoring our third Hall of Fame class. We’ve come a long way. Our theme in 2020 is two missions: Прво, we want to take this down to the grassroots level, second is supporting our athletes and their families as they travel to the 2020 Olympic Games.”



Al Valenti, Special Projects Consultant for USA Boxing: “USA Boxing is the one fundamental difference that makes a difference in a young person’s life. The path to self-confidence, the path to self-respect, дисциплина, победа, and how to accept defeat all comes through amateur boxing.

“Вечерва, the story will be told. Вечерва, we will take you on a path, of amateur boxing in the United States that rivals no other nation. Gold medalists, silver medalists, тренери, службени лица, doctors…they’re all here. It’s like Woodstock for boxing; everybody’s here!”



Ал Бернштајн, Master of Ceremonies: “I’m delighted to be back here for my third year at USA Boxing’s Alumni Association Hall of Fame. I hosted a lot of events, MC’d a lot of events, and this is the final event because it’s in the end of December. It’s definitely my favorite.”

класа на 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Луизијана

COLORADO SPRINGS, Лап. (Декември 3, 2019) – Arguably the greatest American amateur boxer of all-time, Означи Breland will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday night, Декември 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Луизијана.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Националниот првенство, Декември. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Декември. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Казино. Hall of Fame broadcasterАл Бернштајн 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 Foremanи “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesАл Мичел иRay 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 (Холифилд) (Мухамед) Дали, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, Иронично, 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 рекорд, Вклучувајќи 19 капачките, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Германија, 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.

На 1984 Олимписки игри, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Meldrick Тејлор, PERNELL Витакер, Jerry Page,Frank Tate, Henry Tillman иTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 КО) рекорд, 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 Association Executive Director. “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.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Олимписки златен медалAndrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Olympic gold medalist Frank Tateи неговиот братТомас, 1972 ОлимпиецTim Dement, 2002 Националниот златни ракавици шампионJaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic QualifierJackie Beard, 1981 Junior OlympicsGlen Modicue, four-time National championЕрик Кели, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier championЏон Scully, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton иStephensbrothers –Donald, Ентони иЏери.

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 КО) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.

The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, голем 1992 US OlympianVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, Deontay Вајлдер, 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.”

класа на 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Луизијана

COLORADO SPRINGS, Лап. (Ноември 25, 2019) – Arkansas boxing icon Ray Rodgershas successfully dealt with more cuts than most surgeons, all the way into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, in which he’ll be inducted on Friday night, Декември 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Луизијана.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Националниот првенство, Декември. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Декември. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Казино. Hall of Fame broadcaster Ал Бернштајн 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 three Olympic gold-medalists, “Биг” Џорџ Форман, “Smokin'” Eо Фрејзер и Означи Breland, as well as legendary coach Ал Мичел.

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

There isn’t much in boxing, if anything, that Rodgers hasn’t done: Боксерот, official, тренер, administrator and, се разбира, намалување на човек. “I’m a boxing guy,” Rodgers said in his Southern twang. “I’ve been around the block, several times. But I don’t say I’m a cut man, I’m a laceration management specialist.”

Rodgers first got into boxing when he was in the fifth grade, back in Oklahoma, where he was born. A memo was sent around that there would be a tryout for boxing held the next day at the local high school gym. His parents gave their permission to let him tryout, the first chapter of his incredible boxing career.

“From the first moment,” the charming boxing character remembered, “Јас бев зависник. I still have the letter I received in boxing. That was in 1947 and I’m still in boxing. I’m very proud of that.”

Rodgers has worked 39 world championship fights in professional boxing, as a cut man (he only trains amateur boxers) for the likes of world champions Jermaine Taylor, Wayne McCollough и Томи Морисон.

“It’s been beyond belief for a regular old boxing guy like me,” Rodgers said about his life in boxing. “I’ve traveled all over the world, many times, as a cut man.”

He was the first national official of both the Golden Gloves and Silver Gloves. Повеќе, he’s already been inducted in three Hall of Fames: Silver Gloves, Golden Gloves and Arkansas Sports HOF.

“Ray’s sacrifice to countless youth as a coach, ментор, намалување на човек, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” коментира Крис Куliари, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “His years of service and the knowledge he has passed on to other generations is what makes him a Hall of Famer, and we look forward to honoring him in December.”

Rodgers hasn’t slowed down, despite recently celebrating his 83то роденден. He still owns and operates Ray Rodgers Boxing Club in West Little Rock, Арканзас, in addition to serving as director of the Arkansas Golden Gloves and Mid-South Tournament, which includes Louisiana, Мисисипи, Western Tennessee and Arkansas. And he’s also the vice-president of the National Golden Gloves and chairman of the National Silver Gloves.

“At my age, I’m happy to have any birthday,” Rodgers joked. “I’m hoping to live another 10-12 години, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, иако, is in my hands.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Олимписки златен медал Andrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Олимписки златен медал Frank Tate и неговиот брат Томас, 1972 Олимпиец Tim Dement, 2002 Националниот златни ракавици шампион Jaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic Qualifier Jackie Beard, 1981 Junior Olympics Glen Modicue, four-time National champion Ерик Кели, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier champion Џон Scully, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton иStephens brothers – Donald, Ентони и Џери.

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 рече, “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 beatМухамед Али 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, составувањето на 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. Во колото за отворање, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Уганда), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Австралија) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Русија) во полуфиналето, 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, наспротиHans 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 КО) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofМухамед Али, Џими Елис (два пати), Боб Фостер, Oscar Bonavena(два пати), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Даг Џонс, Eddie Machen иЏорџ Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 Ѕ, 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,” addedКрис Куliари, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “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 13та."

ЛОС АНЏЕЛЕС (Декември. 1, 2018) – Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury fought to a split-decision draw on SHOWTIME PPV® on Saturday night from STAPLES Center​ ​in​ ​arguably ​one of the best heavyweight fights in years​.​

 

 

 

After controlling the WBC World Championship fight early, бес (27-0-1, 19 КО) miraculously overcame two knockdowns by Wilder (40-0-1, 39 КО) – including one in round 12 – in the improbable draw. Судиите го постигна рунда 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113.

 

 

 

“I think with the two knockdowns I definitely won the fight,” said Wilder, who has recorded a knockdown in each of his 41 pro fights and was defending his WBC belt for the eighth time since 2015. “We poured our hearts out tonight. We’re both warriors, but with those two drops I think I won the fight.”

 

​

 

Fury saw it differently, stating that he gave it everything he had.

 

 

 

“We’re on away soil, I got knocked down twice, but I still believe I won that fight,” said England’s Fury, whose amazing comeback continues following a two and a half-year absence from the sport from drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues.​ “I hope I did you all proud after nearly three years out of the ring. I was never going to be knocked down tonight. I showed good heart to get up. I came here tonight and I fought my heart out.​”​

 

 

It was an electrifying night with an attendance announced at 17,698 фанови, which included Hollywood stars and fight fans like former Lakers greats Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry West, former NFL stars Michael Strahan and Michael Irvin, and ​boxing ​legends Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather.

 

 

 

бес, who out-landed Wilder 84-71 Целокупната, was caught by a short right hand by Wilder just behind the left ear to drop Fury for the third time in his career in the ninth round. Then in the 12th, a Wilder right hand and left hook combination sent the 6-foot-9 Fury down again, hitting his head on the canvas. Повторно, he managed to ​stand​ up and referee Jack Reiss let him continue to fight.

 

 

 

“Boxing is always the theater of the unexpected, and that’s what we had tonight,” SHOWTIME expert analyst Al Bernstein said.

 

 

 

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.”

 

 

 

Историчар и коментатор на боксот ШОВТИМ Стив Фарнити го Фјури контролирајќи ги раните рунди и победничките рунди 3-8, и на крајот ја постигна борбата, 115-111.

 

 

 

Поради клаузула за реванш, и двајцата борци беа запрашани дали сакаат повторно да го сторат тоа. „Би сакал тоа да биде мојата следна борба,“, Рече Вајлдер. "Зошто да не? Да им дадеме на фановите она што сакаат да го видат. Тоа беше голема борба и да го направиме тоа повторно. Не ми е важно каде го правиме тоа “.

 

 

 

„Сто проценти ќе го направиме реваншот,“, Рече Фјури, оттогаш се бореше во првиот натпревар од титулата во тешка категорија, плаќајќи по гледаност во Америка 2002. „Ние сме двајца одлични шампиони. Јас и овој човек сме двајцата најдобри тешка категорија на планетата “.

 

 

 

Вајлдер рече дека излегол бавен и ги брзал ударите. “I didn’t sit still. I was too hesitant. I started overthrowing the right hand and I just couldn’t adjust.”

 

 

 

бес, fighting for the third time this year with 26-year-old trainer Ben Davison in his corner, also had former boxing great Ricky Hatton and seven-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach in his corner.

 

 

 

In the lead-up fight to Wilder-Fury, “Swift” Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 КО) defended his 154-pound IBF and WBA world title belts with a fourth-round knockout against United Kingdom’s James Welborn (24-7, 7 КО), who was fighting for the first time on American soil.

 

 

Welborn was the aggressor in the first minute of the fourth round, sending Hurd to the ropes with punch after punch to the body and head. Suddenly realizing he might be in trouble, Hurd of Accokeek, Md., се спротивстави на ненадејната неволја во драматична мода и го испрати повратното следење на Велборн пред уништувачкото тело да го испрати на колено. Тој беше изброен на 1:55 од судијата Лу Морет, кој ја офицерираше последната борба од својата 30-плус годишна кариера.

 

 

 

По борбата, непоразената супер умерена тежина ermермел Шарло влезе во рингот за да ги предизвика посакуваните појаси на Хард. „Дефинитивно го сакаме Чарло,“, Изјави Хард за SHOWTIME Спорт’ Џим Греј, велејќи дека натпреварот веројатно ќе се случи по уште една борба. „Ги повикувам снимките. Јас не. 1 сега. Кога ќе кажам одговорете на телефон, одговори на телефон. Го добив датумот “.

 

 

 

Чарло шутираше назад. „Ова се лесни пари. Ми се допаѓаат тие ремени - тие изгледаат навистина добро на вас. Тој рече дека сака друга борба. Подготвен сум сега “

 

 

 

Херд, 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 убодите, 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 КО) се врати во СТАПЛС Центарот за втора последователна победа со воодушевувачкото 10-то коло ТКО против Тревис „Моето време“ Кауфман (32-3, 23 КО) Ридинг, Pa.

 

 

 

39-годишниот Ортиз од Камагуј, Куба, регистрирани нокаути на левиот крст во шестата, осма и 10-та рунда пред последниот удар кој доаѓа подоцна во 10-то коло против грозниот Кафман. Тоа беше 26-та стоп во кариерата за Ортиз, кој загуби од Вајлдер во кандидатот за борба на годината уште во март.

 

 

 

Тепачката беше официјално повикана во 1:58 од 10-то коло. "Јас сум воин,“, Рече Ортиз. „Ништо не ме содржи. Не мораше да го нокаутираме, но сакавме да покажеме сè што имаме во нашиот репертоар, и тоа го покажавме вечерва. “

 

 

 

Ортиз, кој бил предупреден двапати за ниски удари, го повлече Кафман по втор пат со смртоносна лева рака на Ортиз на 2:29 во осмата рунда. 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],“, Рече Ортиз. “I want that second fight with Wilder. I want to fight anybody.”

 

 

 

In the ​pay-per-view​ telecast opener, Joe “The Juggernaut” Joyce (7-0, 7 КО) recorded a massive first-round knockout against Joe “The Future” Hanks (23-3, 15 КО). A rising heavyweight, Joyce, од Лондон, Англија, ended the fight officially after just 2:25 as he used a right jab to set up a near-perfect left hook sending Hanks to the canvas and down for the count.

 

 

 

Trained by noted trainer Abel Sanchez, Joyce told Gray he’s ready for anyone. “I want to get in some bigger fights,” said the former Olympic silver medal winner who recorded his fourth first-round KO. “I’ve been doing well so there is plenty more to come. All the support from back home in England, thanks for coming. I hope I put on something good to watch.”

 

 

 

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,", Рече тој. “I’ve got a lot of experience, I’m just going to improve on my strength and my speed. Слушнав коментари дека сум бавен, но изгледа дека ги спуштам снимките и ја завршив работата “.

 

 

 

Ова беше трет пат во текот на неговата кариера Хенкс, од Newуарк, N.J., е срушен од левата кука.

“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.”

 

Ленокс Луис

 

 

 

“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. Лас Вегас, New York and of course, Лос Анџелес. Мојата борба против Витали Кличко во Центарот СТАПЛЕС беше голема борба. Мојот план таа ноќ не беше да боксувам да одам оддалеченост, Се борев за да одам на кратко растојание и се случи.”

 

РИДДИК КУEА

 

 

 

“Одам со Деонтај Вајлдер утре вечер. Тој ќе подготви одлично шоу за сите и ќе добие уште еден нокаут.

 

 

 

“Тајсон Фјури е вешт и висок, но за мене, тој не стори доволно за навреда. Тој се движи, но тој не ги поместува рацете доволно.”

 

GЕРИ КОНЕЈ

 

 

 

“Мислам дека е голема борба утре вечер. Знаеме дека Фјури се враќа мотивиран. Ако Вајлдер најде такво место за тоа право, тој ќе го извади Фјури. Мислам дека тој ќе се поврзе во одреден момент за време на борбата.

 

 

 

“Мислам дека Тајсон Фјури е одличен човек за колку далеку се врати во својот живот и за тоа што застана до Деонтај Вајлдер. Фјури го повикал, па можеби тој знае нешто што не знаеме.

 

 

 

“Многу ми е драго што сум тука. Погледнете ги сите овие одлични вежби и одлични момци. Посебно е и сите се тука да ја следат оваа борба утре вечер.”

 

ЗАЕДНИЧКИ ШАВЕРИ

 

 

 

“Јас и Деонтај сме двајцата од Алабама. Наскоро ќе бидам вклучена во Спортската сала на славните на Алабама и Деонтај ќе биде таму еден ден. Деонтај е одличен ударник и се повлекувам за него утре вечер.

 

 

 

“Се борев во одлична ера. Ако се борите со момци на исто ниво, ќе добиете добри борби. Овие момци денес би можеле да влезат таму во нашево време и да прикажат добро шоу.”

 

БУСТЕР ДУГЛАС

 

 

 

“Мислам дека ова ќе биде добра конкурентна борба. Ако требаше да одберам, Го носев Деонтај Вајлдер со нокаут во осмото коло.

 

 

 

“Се чувствувам како Тајсон Фјури веќе победи со тоа што се спротивстави на борбата против и се навлезе во одлична форма и се на оваа позиција. Сигурен сум дека многу луѓе мислат дека никогаш не го виделе тука. Ова е победа само по себе.

 

 

 

“Мојата победа над Мајк Тајсон го промени мојот живот на одличен начин. Сега бев шампион во тешка категорија на светот. Мојот сон се оствари. Гледањето на моите две најмлади деца што се роди беше единствената работа што може да се најде на врвот.”

 

МИЦАЕЛ СПИНКИ

 

 

“Нека победи најдобриот човек. Не знам кој е во најдобра форма, но мислам дека Фјури да е надвор од рингот ме тера да се потпреме кон Деонтај Вајлдер. Ако Фјури е толку голем во личноста како што велат тој, тој има голема шанса.

 

 

“Ако си досаден, само треба да продолжите со она што го знаете и на што работевте. Не можете да обрнете внимание на предизвикувачите. Вие се фокусирате на она за што сте се подготвиле и го давате сè. Секогаш се гледав себеси како победа. Најдобро е чувството да излезете од рингот победнички.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites Los Angeles:
JARRETT HURD
“Everything that my team and I have spoken about has come to pass. I’m here as the co-main of a massive card and I’m just really appreciative of everyone who believed in me and helped push me to this moment.
“Saturday night I want to show my versatility. Everyone has seen that I’m electrifying. I bring the action. But I want to show that I am swift and I do have defense. I know how to use my height and range. I’m still going to bring the action on Saturday, so you have to make sure to tune-in.
“We don’t think of Welborn as a tune-up fight. Jason Welborn is a British champion for a reason. We just want to go out there and establish the game plan we worked on in camp.
“I want to show my defensive side and show that I can box and move. I want to show that I don’t have to just keep coming forward. I’m going to be able to do that and start to break him down and get him out of there.
“Everybody sees my demeanor, and they know that I carry that to the ring. My composure is my biggest attribute. Без разлика што некој вели, I’m always going to be me.
“I’m number one in the division and things are going to play out how I want them. We’ve had three tough camps training for southpaws. When I eventually fight (WBC champion) Jermell CHARLO, I’m going to be ready because of all the work on my versatility and defense. I’ll be ready for Jermell Charlo.
“I want to be an active champion because I didn’t have a lot of amateur fights. I need to stay in the ring and get all the experience I can. I want to get these good fights in while I’m still young and healthy.
“I’m back from my surgery and we’re going to get back to the old Jarrett Hurd. I’m going to show everyone all that I can do. Everyone knows that there’s always going to be action. It’s going to be a wonderful fight on a wonderful card. Don’t blink during this one.”
JASON WELBORN
“This is a dream come true to be here today. Hurd has worked his way up to get here just like I have. Во моментов, he’s in my way. I hope everyone enjoys what I bring to the table on Saturday night.
“I have the belief that I’m born and bred for this game and I’m going to show it to the whole world on Saturday night. I always prove people wrong.
“The last two years I’ve become the best in Britain and beaten everyone they put in front of me. When people doubt me, I train even harder. I’m coming to win and I’ve got nothing to lose.
“I have to get what I deserve and I’ll do it on Saturday night. I’ve already been through the storm. He’s got what I want.
“I’ve got to enjoy the fight and get what I want. He can look past me all he wants, but once he feels what I bring to the table, we’ll see how he reacts. I’m ready for whatever he’s going to bring to the table.”
LUIS ORTIZ
“I want to thank everyone who has helped me get this opportunity. I like to do my talking in the ring, but I’m happy that Travis Kauffman stepped up. A lot of heavyweights haven’t done that and I’m glad we can make this fight happen.
“I’m coming to do my job. This is a heavyweight fight and we know that means one punch can change everything. It’s not going to end well for Travis on Saturday night.
“Постојат 10 rounds to get the job done, and three minutes per round. I’m going to get my job done. The job is to seek and destroy. So I hope that Travis is very prepared to give the fans a great show. Saturday night you’ll see ‘King Kong’ во прстенот.
“I’ve pushed myself even harder than ever in training camp. We’re sticking with the same game plan of family first and I believe I will be rewarded. My five-year-old boy reminds me that I have a loss and that motivates me to train harder and harder.
“I expect Travis to have the great confidence he’s showing. It’s a great chance for him and I’m sure he’ll be motivated. I’m motivated for every fight, because it’s not just about my opponent. My goal is to provide for my family and Travis is in the way. I’ve never deterred from that mentality and it’s got me ready for Saturday night.”
TRAVIS Кауфман
“I’m thankful to Luis Ortiz for taking this fight. Everybody is afraid to fight him, but I’m not afraid of anyone. We all know that Luis Ortiz can punch, but I don’t care about any of that. It’s my time. I come from a rough background and I won’t back down.
“Ова е моето време. There’s nothing that’s going to stop me from taking this guy down. He’s so worried about Deontay Wilder, but he has to worry about me before he gets any rematch.
“You might not know who I am right now, but you will after Saturday night. I’m going to make sure people remember my name.
“Luis Ortiz is very skilled, but if you want to be the best you have to fight the best. No one actually wants to step up and take this fight, but I really believe this is my time. I bring some heat in the ring and I come to fight every time.”
JOE JOYCE
“I’m excited to be on this massive card. I’m going to give the whole world a treat as part of a great event. You have to tune-in and watch me start the show off right on Saturday night.
“Training in Big Bear has been a perfect environment for me. It’s in the mountains, it has the altitude and it’s secluded. I’ve seen what goes into their training camps and worked alongside the best in the world. They’ve helped me install the kind of style that will have me at my best.
“I have the Olympic pedigree, but now it’s about advancing the brute strength and really getting the perfect snap on my shots.
“Sparring against Tyson Fury was really top-level work. I know that it’s made me a better fighter. He’s looking fit and strong and it shows when you’re in the ring with him.
“Ова е одлична можност. Abel Sanchez has done a tremendous job getting me ready for this position. I’m excited to show everyone my skills and everything I’ve learned.
“I’m glad that Joe Hanks decided to take this fight. I can’t wait to lace up the gloves and get the party started. I’m going to keep my knockout streak going and I guarantee it’s going to be exciting”
JOE HANKS
“It’s been a long time coming for this moment. I’m thankful to my team and I’m excited to be on this card with other great heavyweights. It’s a great time to be a heavyweight. I’m ready to put my name in the ring to have the chance to really do something special with a great performance Saturday.
“The work has been done. I did everything that I had to do. I’ve done more than I did preparing for my past fights. Being the underdog doesn’t mean much to me. I’m from Newark, Њу Џерси, and we’re all underdogs there.
“I’ve put the time in and I’ve had everyone supporting me and pushing me and I think it’s going to get me over the hump. I’m just really excited to get in there.”
Стивен ESPINOZA, President Sports & настан Програмирање, Showtime Мрежи Inc.
“When we talk about Jarrett Hurd, he’s a fighter who has seemingly come out of nowhere and has had an incredibly rapid rise to the top. He was not a decorated amateur. He has learned on the job. All he has done since beating Oscar Molina in 2016 is impress. He is recognized as one of the bright young stars in boxing. He has been off due to injury and certainly could have taken an easier fight than Jason Welborn, who is a British Commonwealth champion. We’re expecting an action fight there.
“Luis Ortiz is one of the top heavyweights in the world. He has one blemish on his otherwise perfect record, a loss to Deontay Wilder. Perhaps Ortiz was just seconds away from victory. We talk about a slim margin in fights, that was the slimmest of margins. I think he is going to be trying to make a statement on the undercard that he deserves a rematch against Deontay Wilder. Standing in his way will be Travis Kauffman. This is another all-action fight filled with big punchers.
“In our opening bout, we have one of the most talked-about rising young heavyweights in the sport – Joe Joyce, who is taking on a tough veteran in Joe Hanks. Како што знаеме, the heavyweight division has been the focus more in the last six to nine months than we’ve seen in the last couple decades. Joe Joyce is at the top of the list on the potential next wave of future stars. He is certainly not wasting any time taking on a fighter of Joe Hanks’ caliber.
“When you look at the card overall, you’ve got some of the biggest punchers in boxing. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see several knockouts on this card. Don’t miss the action.”
