NEW YORK – November 24, 2020 – Lawan masa lalu dari ikon tinju legendaris Hector “Macho” Camacho, termasuk "Gula" Ray Leonard, Felix “Tito” Trinidad dan pelatih Hall of Fame Freddie Roach, berbagi pengalaman langsung mereka dengan mantan juara dunia dan mengingat gaya flamboyan khasnya sebelum pertandingan JANTAN: CERITA HECTOR CAMACHO pemutaran perdana film dokumenter Jumat, Bulan Desember 4 di 9 p.m. ET / PT pada SHOWTIME.

JANTAN: CERITA HECTOR CAMACHO adalah pandangan yang teguh pada kehidupan yang luar biasa, karir bertingkat dan pembunuhan yang belum terpecahkan dari salah satu pemain sandiwara tinju terbesar. Melalui wawancara yang langka dan terbuka dengan ibunya, Maria Matthias, saudara perempuan, istri Amy dan putranya Hector Jr., film dokumenter ini juga menggali pikiran dan jiwa petarung legendaris yang bermasalah, pertempurannya dengan kecanduan dan gejolak batin yang akhirnya menyebabkan kematiannya – pembunuhan ganda misterius di pinggir jalan pada November 2012. Film disutradarai oleh dua kali Emmy® Pemenang penghargaan Eric Drath. Drath dan Danielle Naassana, keduanya dari Hiburan Bintang Langsung, menjabat sebagai produser dan enam belas kali pemenang Penghargaan Emmy Aaron Cohen menjabat sebagai penulis dan produser konsultan.

Selain Leonard, Trinidad dan Roach, melewati juara dunia Ray Mancini, Greg Haugen, Vinny Pazienza dan lebih banyak lagi mengenang tentang naik ke ring melawan Hector "Macho" Camacho yang mencolok dan terampil:

SUGAR RAY LEONARD – Maret 1, 1997; Dalam pertarungan karir terakhir Ray Leonard, Camacho dimenangkan oleh TKO ronde kelima: “Kami berdua secara alami melewati masa jaya kami, tapi saya hanya merasa bahwa saya adalah pria yang lebih besar. saya lebih pintar, kuat, semua hal itu, tapi pertama kali dia melempar pukulan, itu seperti, pow! Dan aku berkata, 'Wow, itu menyakitkan.' Saya mencoba yang terbaik yang saya bisa untuk pergi jauh. Saat dia dalam kondisi terbaiknya, dia adalah sesuatu yang indah.”

FELIX "TITO" TRINIDAD - Bulan Januari 29, 1994; Gelar Kelas Welter IBF: “Saya pertama kali bertemu Macho Camacho ketika saya 12 tahun di acara arena dalam ruangan di Puerto Rico. Dia sudah menjadi juara dunia. Saya kagum. Camacho berbicara dengan semua orang dan menjadi dirinya sendiri. Dia makan 12 empanada sekaligus hanya untuk menjadi lucu.

“Ketika aku harus melawannya, itu adalah pertahanan gelar ketiga saya. Tadi saya 21 dan dia adalah 10 tahun lebih tua dari saya. Dia memiliki begitu banyak pengalaman dan memainkan begitu banyak permainan pikiran. Pada konferensi pers terakhir, dia duduk di ujung meja – menyamping, agak mengabaikan pers – dan menatapku. Ketika tiba waktunya untuk berbicara, dia hanya berbicara sampah. Dia adalah pemain sandiwara. Saat kami masuk ring di Las Vegas, seperti setiap petarung di pertarungan persimpangan jalan, Saya sedikit gugup. Dia adalah petarung yang hebat. Dia sangat berpengalaman dan teknis. Dia sedikit gila tapi dia orang yang baik. Rendah hati.

“Setelah pertarungan, dia datang dengan dagunya ke bawah dan memberi selamat padaku. Dia seperti orang yang berbeda – dia sangat ramah dan tenang. 'Itu pertarungan yang bagus,' dia bilang. 'Kamu akan menjadi juara yang hebat. Teruslah mendaki.’ Itu adalah pengalaman yang luar biasa bagi saya. Setelah pertarungan itu, Saya merasa ada sesuatu yang berubah dalam diri saya sebagai seorang petarung. Saya telah berbagi cincin dengan Macho Camacho. Kamu tidak pernah sama setelah itu. Dia membantu saya menjadi petarung yang lebih baik. Dia adalah orang Puerto Rico pertama yang pernah saya hadapi. Satu-satunya petarung yang memotongku. Saya mendapatkan kemenangan saya melawannya pada malam yang sama [Frankie] Randall memberi Julio Cesar Chavez kekalahan pertamanya. Itu adalah malam yang bersejarah.”

FREDDIE ROACH – Desember 18, 1985; Camacho memenangkan pertarungan super ringan melalui keputusan bulat untuk meningkatkan ke 28-0: “Hector Camacho adalah petinju terbaik yang pernah saya lawan. Kecepatannya tidak bisa dipercaya. Pada satu titik selama pertarungan, kami berada dalam posisi clinch dan saya menggigit bahunya. Dia melangkah mundur, tersenyum, dan memberitahuku, 'Itu tidak akan berhasil.’ Dia benar. Saya mengalami banyak masalah dalam menangani kecepatannya. Anda tidak bisa mempersiapkannya – dan saya memiliki kamp pelatihan yang sangat bagus. Saya benar-benar siap untuk pertarungan itu. Saya pikir saya memenangkan satu ronde dan itu hanya karena saya menginjak kakinya dan terjatuh. Setelah pertarungan, kami bertemu satu sama lain di lobi hotel kami dan dia mengajakku makan malam di restoran hotel. Kami berbicara dan tertawa sepanjang makan malam. Dia adalah pria yang hebat.”

RAY MANCINI – Maret 6, 1989; Camacho memenangkan keputusan split untuk gelar kelas welter WBO Junior yang kosong: “Hector memiliki kemampuan luar biasa untuk menghindari pukulan. Dia memiliki kecepatan tangan yang sangat baik, gerakan dan refleks. Dia masuk ring dengan semua orang. Dan dia lucu sekali. Pertama, Saya tidak tahan dengannya. Tapi begitu kita pensiun, kami mengubur kapak dan setiap kali kami bertemu, itu pelukan dan tawa. Dia membuat semua orang tertawa. Dia adalah jiwa yang baik. Saya patah hati ketika mendengar berita tentang pembunuhannya. Dalam buku saya, ketika Anda berbicara tentang orang-orang hebat sepanjang masa, dia berada di lima besar untuk petarung Puerto Rico dan teratas 20 untuk pejuang Latin.”                 

GREGHAUGEN - Februari 23, dan mungkin 18, 1991; Kalah karir pertama Camacho dan pertandingan ulang untuk WBO Jr. Kejuaraan Dunia Kelas Welter: “Camacho sedang mencari pertarungan tune-up untuk pertarungan besar yang tak terkalahkan dengan Julio Cesar Chavez jadi begitulah cara saya bertarung.. Tapi saya telah mempelajari pertarungannya dan saya tahu Hector hanya suka bertarung sebentar, menit dan setengah dari setiap putaran. Rencana saya untuk bertarung adalah membuatnya bertarung tiga menit setiap ronde. Saya memukulnya dengan tembakan tubuh dan dia meringis. Dan ditambah, Saya berbicara dengannya sepanjang pertarungan, jadi dia frustasi. Jadi kita sampai ke 12th putaran dan dia akhirnya pengisap meninju saya sebelum awal ronde karena saya menolak untuk menyentuh sarung tangan, dan mereka akhirnya mengambil satu poin darinya yang memenangkan pertarungan saya. (Dalam pertandingan ulang) dia sangat yakin dia kalah dalam pertarungan, dia benar-benar meninggalkan ring setelah pertarungan. Promotor Dan Duva harus menariknya keluar dari ruang ganti dan pada dasarnya membujuknya untuk kembali ke ring untuk mendengar keputusan tersebut.. Dia harus memenangkan pertarungan itu karena itu akan membuatnya sejajar dengan Chavez. Saya pikir saya mengalahkannya lebih banyak di pertarungan kedua daripada pertarungan pertama. ”

VINNY KESABARAN - Februari 3, 1990; Camacho memenangkan keputusan mutlak untuk gelar kelas welter WBO Junior: “Saya pikir saya akan menghancurkannya. Saya pikir saya akan melewatinya. Tapi dia jauh lebih kuat dan lebih cepat dari yang kupercaya. Dan aku berpikir, 'Ya Tuhan, Saya akan menghadapi malam yang panjang.’ Dia bersiap-siap untuk saya tidak seperti pertarungan lainnya. Dia sangat bersemangat dan sangat siap. Dia melepaskan semua obat. Dia tidak minum. Dia bangun sangat tinggi dan setelah dia mengalahkanku, dia tidak pernah sama lagi. Hector adalah karakter seperti itu. Dia melampaui saya dalam kapasitas itu. Dia adalah pria liar dan dia liar sepanjang hidupnya.”

PJ GOOSSEN – Juni 18, 1999; Camacho memenangkan keputusan bulat pada usia 37 untuk meningkatkan rekornya menjadi 68-4-1: “Itu adalah malam yang buruk bagiku. Saya memiliki tiga tulang rusuk yang patah, dan tidak ada yang benar-benar mengetahuinya. Jadi, Aku hampir tidak bisa bernapas, apalagi berjuang, tapi itulah yang harus Anda lakukan dalam tinju kadang-kadang. Saat kami bersiap-siap untuk bertarung, ruang ganti miliknya tepat di sebelah kamarku dan mereka memiliki pintu yang memisahkan kami. Aku bisa mendengarnya sebelum pertarungan berteriak, 'Waktu macho!' 'Waktu macho!' Dan dia menabrak dinding. Dan dia terus melakukan itu, berteriak lebih keras dan lebih keras. Dengan Baik, dia memukul pintu dengan sangat keras hingga menerobos dan dia jatuh ke ruang gantiku. Jadi, dia bangkit dan berjalan kembali melalui lubang yang lain dan berkata, 'Maaf tentang itu.' Itu sebenarnya sangat lucu dan saya dan ayah serta saudara laki-laki saya tertawa. Untuk kembali dan meminta maaf ketika dia seharusnya bersemangat untuk melawanku. Saya akan menandainya sebagai salah satu pemain kidal terbaik yang pernah ada, terutama ketika dia berada di kelas bulu dan ringan.”

Celebrated manager Jackie Kallen predicts unbeaten Mykquan Williams will be her sixth world champion

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Februari 12, 2020) – Women’s pioneerJackie Kallen, the first and arguably most successful female manager in the boxing history, strongly believes unbeaten 21-year-old“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 Biaya) will develop into her sixth world champion.

Williams, fighting out of East Hartford, CT, is the reigning the World Boxing Council (WBC) United States super lightweight champion.

“Mykey has a lot of the qualities as some of the greats in boxing,” Kallen said. “He has some of the flash and speed of fighters like Ray Leonard, and the training habits and dedication of Thomas Hearns dan Mike Tyson. He also has a killer smile and good looks like Hector Camacho, Sr.

“Mykey can go all the way to a world title. He has the speed, attitude, and heart, along with exceptional boxing ability. He has been groomed perfectly by his trainer, Paul Cichon, who has kept Mykey true to his style, working hard to perfect his skill. Mykey trains hard, eats right, and takes the game seriously.”

“Jackie’s very experienced and knowledgeable in boxing,” Williams remarked. “She’s worked with some great, world-class fighters, so she knows the route to take for me to get there.”

Cichon added, “I sought out Jackie as our manager because of her love for the sports, as well as the knowledge of that she brings to the table. She’s very well respected, as she certainly deserves to be.”

Boxing has dramatically changed since Kallen covered her first fight for a Detroit daily newspaper in 1978. The card showcased Hearns andMickey Goodwin.  She became an instant fan and wrote about boxing on a regular basis. A legendary trainer/manager based in DetroitEmanuel Steward, hired her as a publicist for his famed Kronk Gym. Some of her best friends to this day are fighters who she worked with back then. She and Hearns still get together.

After serving as Kronk’s publicist for a decade, Kallen decided to branch out and she started managing fighters. Her first client was heavyweightBobby Hitz, who today is a successful promoter and restaurateur in Chicago. She went on to manage a group of Who’s Who fighters, including world championsJames ToneyBronco McKartTom “Boom Boom” JohnsonPinklon Thomas danNonito Donaire.

Kallen, who overcame sexism in the boxing industry, is best known, jangan jangan, for her working relationship with Toney, largely because her life during that period was the inspiration for the popular 2004 film, Against the Ropes, starringMeg Ryan as Kallen.

“Boxing today is a totally different animal,” she explained. “That’s not to say it’s better or worse, just different. There used to be more gyms in every city, heavy amateur programs, lots of shows on television networks, and enough local club shows to keep a young fighter active. I had guys back then who fought 8 untuk 10 times a year, yang, tentu saja, is almost impossible in 2020.

“There wasn’t as much information available on opponents either. If you were lucky, you could buy a tape. If the fighter hadn’t been on television, meskipun, you were out of luck. There was no Internet, so there was nothing like BoxRec to check opponents’ records. You just had to believe the matchmaker. I had fighters expecting to fight a 14-4 guy who found out at the weigh in that he was actually 16-0.”

Tinju, likely the second-oldest profession, has continued to survive, albeit often on a roller-coaster ride.

“Today’s fighters are not as quick to fight each other as they were in the days of Hearns/Hagler/Leonard/Duran,” Kallen noted. “Back then, fighters wanted to really fight to be the best they could be. I see fighters today being more analytical and taking less chances.

“There are also more sanctioning organizations today. Back then it was most the WBA, WBC and IBF. Not to mention there was never one person who managed dozens and dozens of boxers at the same time. The game has definitely changed!"

Kallen, though is still heavily invested in the sport she loves. Confident Williams will be her next world champion, her dream is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame with Toney.

“In 1992,Kallen concluded, “I was named ‘Manager of the Year’ and my love for the sport has never waned. As long as there is talent out there needing guidance, I will stay active.”

The Vázquez, Jr. vs. López main event is presented in association with Matias Entertainment and sponsored by Best Alarms and Municipio de San Juan.
The 33-year-old López (34-5, 31 Biaya), fighting out of Caguas, Puerto Rico, adalah mantan Organisasi Tinju Dunia (WBO) super bantamweight and featherweight world champion. Dari 2008 untuk 2010, “Juanma” was one of the top pound-4-pound fighters in the world, but he hasn’t fought dalam dua tahunheading into his much anticipated confrontation with his fellow countryman Vázquez, Jr.
I still think I have a lot left in the tank,” López confidently said from his Puerto Rican training camp. “This is the first fight of my career that I feel I owe to fans because of the history behind it. I don’t think there will be any rust because I have been training for many, months and I have been inside the gym working hard. Maybe the agility I had four or five years ago isn’t quite the same, true, but at the same time I am more mature and much more calm and more intelligent in the ring. I definitely feel that I am a better fighter than ever before.
Vázquez, Jr. (24-6-1, 19 Biaya), the son of the great three-time division world champion Wilfredo Vázquez, fights out of Bayamón whose best known boxing son is late Hall of Famer Héctor “Macho” Camacho. Vázquez became the vacant WBO super bantamweight world champion in 2010, knocking out previously unbeaten Marvin Sonsona (14-0-1) di babak keempat.
I think my opponent is a very persistent fighter and a person who will do anything to meet his goals, even though that will make him behave improperly,” López added. “I think it will be a very aggressive fight, more of a brawl, and I’m sure the night of the fight I will be the stronger fighter. I will dominate him, round by round, and the first moment I have an opportunity to go for the kill, I will pressure him and won’t stop until I get a knockout.
