NEW YORK (Marzo 22, 2023) – Multiple world champion Kathy “Wildcat” Collins (14-2-4, 3 KO) will become the first female boxer inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF).

”It’s a tremendous honor to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame,” said Collins (married name Globuschutz). “This is my fourth induction into Halls of Fame, which is special to me since I also held four world titles.

"In 1995, I was part of the first class of women ever allowed to box in the fabled Daily News Golden Gloves. Un anno dopo, the first women’s fight televised on the USA Tuesday night boxing series from the Paramount at Madison Square Garden, which culminated in the highest female purses at the time from Madison Square Garden as a co-featured bout on a major pay-per-view for Don King. These were major accomplishments in women’s boxing. It helped paved the way for women today, some coming out of the Olympics, selling out The Garden and working towards equal pay with seven-figure pay days.”

Collins’ second professional fight was a six-round decision over Andrea DeShong in 1996, which brought pro women’s boxing to the famed Madison Square Garden and regular cable television.

In 1997, Kathy captured the IFBA welterweight title and added the IWBF junior welterweight crown later that same year, poi, she dropped down to the lightweight division to successfully challenge for the IWBF championship. Collins became the first fighter to simultaneously own world titles in the WIBF, IFBA, and IWBF.

Kathy Collins is a true pioneer in women’s boxing. Ora, she’ll be honored at home in New York by her induction into the NYSBHOF.

"In 30 anni,” she concluded, “we’ve come a long way baby! It is truly an honor to be recognized by the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and to be recognized and included in in a tremendously talented, successful class of inductees, and being around so many of my friends and colleagues that helped me break ceilings along the way.”

“Kathy Collins is a great asset for the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame as our first female boxer inductee,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy commented. “Her induction into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame is an extension of her career as a pioneer of women’s boxing. We are proud to be inducting her.”

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award. A fearless boxer for three years at the U.S. Naval Academy, Sen. McCain managed his battalion’s boxing team to the brigade championship.

“My father had a passion for boxing,” his daughterMegan McCain said. “He loved it for the thrill of achievement, the nobility of struggle, and the dignity of men bloodied but unbowed. His love for boxing and his love for America had a lot in common. That’s why he worked tirelessly to protect and elevate the sport – making it an arena of integrity for fans and fighters alike.

“That’s also why I am honored to join the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame to accept their Lifetime Achievement Award on his behalf.”

Foreman (per: 76-5, 68 KO, dilettante: 22-4) was also a three-time World Heavyweight Champion as a pro, in addition to famously winning a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico, as well as at the National AAU Championships.

A legend in Arkansas boxing, Rodgers has been an outstanding coach and extraordinary cut-man, who has been in the corner of world champions such asWayne McCullough, Jermain Taylor, Iran Barkley eTommy Morrison.  Ray’s decades of service through coaching and mentorship for the youth of Arkansas have established him as a role model and inspiration for amateur boxing coaches everywhere.

“This year’s USA Boxing Alumni Hall of Fame class, as well as Senator McCain, represent the very best of Olympic style boxing, dentro e fuori dal ring,"commentatoChris Tofflemire, USA Boxing Alumni Association direttore esecutivo. “Their decades worth of service representing themselves inspire us to give back and support current and future generations of champions.

Oltre a Cleary, la classe di 2018 include anche gli Stati Uniti. Medagliati a squadre olimpiche e mondiali (professionale) campioni Roy Jones, Jr., Andre Ward e Claressa Shields, così come un ex direttore nazionale di coaching statunitense di boxe, alla fine degli anni Emanuel Steward.

Un residente di lunga data a Westchester, Ohio, Cleary è stato un membro della boxe negli Stati Uniti da allora 1982, e ha servito come capo degli ufficiali per la National Collegiate Boxing Association da 2002 fino alla sua scomparsa, maggio 21, 2017.

 

 

 

Ha arbitrato 12 paesi diversi, in quattro continenti, come Ufficiale Internazionale assegnato da AIBA. Tom ha ottenuto una valutazione a tre stelle ed è stato selezionato per lavorare alle World Series of Boxing.

 

 

 

“La dedizione di Tom per la boxe amatoriale e il rispetto che ha raccolto dai pugili, allenatori e colleghi ufficiali non sono secondi a nessuno,” suddetto Chris Tofflemire, USA Boxing Alumni Association direttore esecutivo. “L'Associazione Alumni ha sostenuto con enfasi il suo caso per la Hall of Fame, e la sua induzione fu ricevuta da coloro che gli erano vicini, così come l'intera comunità di pugilato dilettantistico. L'impegno di Tom nel servire USA Boxing fornisce un ottimo esempio per tutti noi e non potremmo essere più orgogliosi di chiamarlo un membro della classe Hall of Fame di quest'anno.”

 

 

 

Tom non ha mai dimenticato da dove veniva, dedicando innumerevoli ore ai giovani di Cincinnati, oltre ad aiutare i club di boxe a funzionare in modo efficiente in tutta la sua comunità per più di un quarto di secolo.

“Quando ero un giovane allenatore dell'Air Force Academy,” Allenatore di boxe USA Ed Weichers commentato, “dovevamo sostituire un arbitro di prim'ordine dell'AIBA che si stava ritirando. Stavamo cercando una persona altamente qualificata e Tom Cleary è stato consigliato. È uscito il prossimo 25 anni di fila. Tom è stato uno dei migliori arbitri. Teneva così tanto alla sicurezza dei pugili e Tom era anche un prezioso mentore.

 

 

 

“Tom era un uomo meraviglioso che tutti amavano. Ha amministrato cliniche per arbitri negli Stati Uniti e ha sempre aiutato i bisognosi, giovani e adulti. Il lavoro di Tom nell'area di Cincinnati ha influenzato così tanti pugili e allenatori per più di 25 anni. Ci manca moltissimo.”

VERONA, N.Y.. (Giugno 10, 2017) – Undefeated super lightweight Regis Prograis made an emphatic statement Venerdì suShoBox: La nuova generazione, knocking down previously undefeated Joel Diaz Jr. four times in the second round as he stamped his arrival as a legitimate contender in the 140-pound division.

The southpaw Prograis (20-0, 17 KO), who was making his fourth start on the prospect developmental series, called out the top names at 140 after the second round demolition (WHO 2:55) at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y..

The special Hall of Fame edition of ShoBox: La nuova generazione featured four members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame: ShoBox mainstays Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood and special guests Al Bernstein and Jimmy Lennon Jr. Tompkins and Farhood will be inducted just down the road in Canastota la Domenica in un 2017 class headlined by boxing greats Evander Holyfield, Marco Antonio Barrera and Johnny Tapia.

The super lightweights, Prograis and Diaz, entered the main event with a combined record of 42-0, but it was clear they were in a different class after the first round. Prograis knocked down Diaz in the opening 30 seconds of the second in an exchange that appeared to be the result of a clash of feet. Senza riguardo, Prograis smelled blood and pounced on Diaz, flooring him again with a straight left midway through the round.

The Houston resident, who relocated from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, knocked down Diaz again just 15 seconds later with a straight left. The fourth and final knockdown, courtesy of a left hook, sent Diaz (23-1, 19 KO) tumbling back and was enough for referee Mark Nelson to halt the bout with just seconds left on the clock.

It was a convincing statement for Prograis, che sbarcò 62 percent of his power shots in the toughest test of his career.

"Stasera I proved I graduated from ShoBox,” Prograis said. “I’m ready for the bigger stage. I’m ready for the big show. I want to fight best the best in the division. Voglio (Terrance) Crawford, (Vincitore) Postol, (Adrien) Broner. I want them all. None of these guys have fought anybody like me. The boogeyman is coming. They better get ready.

“He was tough, he was strong and hit hard, but I went through it. That’s another opponent I ran through. I run through everybody. I’m ready for my shot. I’m coming for everybody at 140.”

Diaz, who became the 164th fighter to suffer his first defeat on the series, was clearly disappointed with his game plan.

“I went out there too hyper, trying to kill him,” Diaz said. “I went out too aggressive. I should have toned it down a bit. I had 10 rounds but I just went out there trying to take him out. I should’ve calmed down.

“I should have used my jab a bit more to knock him down but I came out swinging.”

Super middleweight prospect Steve Rolls managed to maintain his undefeated record with a closely contested eight-round slip decision victory over Demond Nicholson scored 77-75 Nicholson, 77-74 Rolls, 77-74 Rolls.

Rolls got off to a quick start, flooring Nicholson with a left hook in the closing seconds of the first to pocket a 10-8 round. He came out attacking to sweep the second, but the fight appeared to change course in the third when Nicholson hurt Rolls in the final minute with his first meaningful punch of the fight.

Nicholson (17-2-1, 16 KO) carried the momentum to sweep the fourth, but the remaining four rounds featured back-and-forth action and were difficult to score. Rolls (16-0, 9 KO) was the slightly busier fighter, collegamento su 412 total punches compared to 390 più di otto turni, but Nicholson edged his opponent 134-117 in total connects.

ShoBox announcers Tompkins, Farhood and Raul Marquez all had Nicholson winning the final six rounds and edging Rolls 77-74 on their unofficial scorecards.

“What made the difference for me stasera was my jab, my patience, my overall boxing ability,” Rolls said. “I came in to this fight having no doubts. Nicholson was talking beforehand about my last fight, he was talking about my footwork, and I knew he was going to be in for a big surprise. I adapt for each fight.

“I knew I had him from the first round. My corner calmed me down and told me to take my time.”

Nicholson, who has mostly competed at 160 libbre, disagreed with the judges’ decision.

“I’m not going to make any excuses. He won the fight,” Nicholson said. “That’s what the judges saw, but I don’t agree. He hurt me in the first round. He hit me viciously in the head. I was dizzy but I recovered and I went on. I think I did a very good job but clearly not enough.

“I can’t fight at 160 – I’m a 168-pounder. Fighting at that weight drained me. I wasn’t at my best.”

Nel match di apertura della trasmissione televisiva, undefeated lightweight prospect Jon Fernandez scored a brutal knockout of Juan Reyes at2:36 del secondo turno.

Fernandez stepped on the gas from the opening bell, utilizing superior activity and accuracy to pick apart the game yet outmatched Reyes. The pair combined to throw 240 punches in the opening stanza but Fernandez landed his right at will and was clearly the more effective fighter.

The Sergio Martinez protégé had a bloodied Reyes hurt in the opening minute of the second and closed the show in the final minute with a sharp right to the ear that sent Reyes (14-4-3, 2 KO) falling back toward the canvas. The perfectly placed punch had Reyes seemingly out before he hit the floor.

The Spaniard Fernandez (13-0, 11 KO) landed a staggering 55 percent of his power shots and 40 per cento dei suoi pugni totale.

“The one-two, one-two was the key to opening the door,” Fernandez said. “The straight right hand is one of my best punches and I caught Reyes in the perfect spot. I hope he is OK. I feel that I am ready for the next level. I’ll fight wherever there is an opportunity, but I believe the big fights are here in the U.S.”

Reyes was responsive but taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.

Di venerdì tripleheader will replay il Lunedi a 10 p.m. E/PT su Showtime Extreme e sarà disponibile su Showtime ON DEMAND® e SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.

The event was co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment (DBE) and AASHA Record Breakers.
