कोट & PICTURES FROM THE NYSBHOF INDUCTEES

(एल आर) – रॉन McNair, Jake Rodriguez and Bob Duffy JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “I want to thank Ring 8 for the opportunity for me to be here. I’d also like to thank my wife for always being there for me, and my trainer.” (एल आर) – औषधी वनस्पती गोल्डमन, Don Majeski and Bob Duffy HERB GOLDMAN: “If I have made any contributions to boxing – I hope I have – I did by redefining record keeping and creating a new perspective on boxing history. I’m proud of that, but I didn’t do it alone.” (एल आर) – जो Mesi, Jack Hirsch and Bob Duffy JOE MESI: “I have so many people to thank for this honor. I’m a Buffalonian. There’s nobody more in favor of one New York, but it’s not. This is special for me because it’s the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. This solidifies me and makes me think I’m not just a local boy. There was a huge disadvantage coming from a small city, sparring wasn’t the same as in the gyms of New York City, but I had an advantage coming from Western New York. Nobody was welling out like we did in Buffalo with 10,000, नंतर 16,00 and finally 18,000 लोक. They were always behind me and I share this with them because their support made me. My dream was to fight in Buffalo and to continue to fight there. “One of the highlights of my life was fighting Monte Barrett on HBO in Madison Square Garden. He was one of the greatest fighters in the world who fought for the world title. I always wanted to get my world title shot, but I never got it. That’s okay, I was little bitter for a while, but I couldn’t be happier with my career. The best part of boxing is the brotherhood we share. (एल आर) – गावंढळ गॉर्डन, Ron Scott Stevens and Bob Duffy RON SCOTT STEVENS: “I know people always say it, but this is the truth: I owe so many people who have supported me throughout my career. Boxing has always been home away from home for me and today I feel like I’m home. “मी 30, living in Brooklyn Heights, and back driving a taxi a waiting on tables. A light went off in my head: boxing is the sport of the underdog and I’m an underdog. The next day I went to Gleason’s Gym – the center of the universe. I made my way around all the gyms in the city, meeting promoters, managers and trainers. I started making matches for promoters and then Cedric Kushner hired me from 1980-2002. मध्ये 2002, I got a call to work for the New York State Athletic Commission as its Community Co-Ordinator and Director of Boxing. मग, I was made chairman and I served two terms. आज, I’m extremely proud to be part of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. (एल आर) – बॉब Duffy, हेन्री Hascup, Bob Goodman and Tommy Gallagher BOB GOODMAN: “I can’t believe this crowd. In order to do what we do, the sacrifices and support you get from your family is so important and (in Goodman’s case) was for so many years. They allowed us to do what we do. All of us love boxing!” (एल आर) – रे मशर्र, Penny Allen, Al Cole, Clay Jenkins and Bob Duffy AL COLE: “I thought boxing was the stupidest and dumbest sport ever. Who wanted to get punched in the face? I started boxing late. I played around some and people said I was pretty good. I started boxing when I was 20, in the Army, stationed at Ft. Hood. Four years later, I was on the Olympic Team. The reason why is I had a great sparring partner, रे मशर्र. If I was going to be in the ring everyday with Ray, I was either going to get beat up, or get better. “I remember Bob Arum giving me his business card. I didn’t know him. I only knew of three people in boxing: डॉन राजा, मुहम्मद अली आणि साखर रे लेओनार्ड. I didn’t follow boxing and the only reason I boxed was I would have had to sleep in the woods if I didn’t (in Army). Boxing is: hit him, before he hits me.” (एल आर) – बॉबी Cassidy, किन, Jaime Drubin and Pete Brodsky PETE BRODSKY: “I want to thank the board. I’m going to be 70 and started in boxing when I was 18. It created a new direction in my life. I’m so proud to be in company with guys who didn’t just talk it, they loved it. If you really love this sport, you really have to learn it. Any man who stepped in the ring, plus all the roadwork, time in the gym and sacrificing what they eat, did it to be the best they can be. “In boxing, you’re not going to win every fight, but whether a fighter wins or loses, if he gives 100-percent, he’s a winner. They work a job, run five miles day, workout at the gym, and then went home to spend time with his family. Friends and family always have your back.” (एल आर) – Darryl Peoples & Melvina Lathan MELVINA LATHAM: “I’m speechless. It’s wonderful. गावंढळ (former NYSAC chairperson Gordon), do you remember this story? There were only three judges and, दुर्दैवाने, one called in sick. I was sitting at ringside with no responsibilities. Randy said I had to workआज रात्री. I said that I wasn’t licensed and couldn’t do it. Randy said, ‘Raise your right hand’, and it was on. I was thrown in there, but it was okay. “My greatest accomplishments are my children and husband. I couldn’t ask for a better situation. आणि Ralph Petrillo is part of my family; he was my second in command. I also had the best officials: deputy commissioners, inspectors, judges and referees. I wouldn’t be here with without them. Bob Duffy put this whole thing together. I personally think he’s amazing. My journey continues, I am blessed.” NYSBHOF वर्ग 2012: कारमेन Basilio, माईक McCallum, माइक टायसन, विषय LaMotta, Riddick बोवे, कार्लोस Ortiz, Vito Antuofermo, Emile ग्रिफिथ, “साखर” रे रॉबिन्सन, जीन Tunney, Benny लेओनार्ड, टोनी Canzoneri, हॅरोल्ड Lederman, स्टीव्ह Acunto, जिमी ग्लेन, Gil क्लॅन्सी, रे Arcel, Nat Fleischer, बिल Gallo आणि आर्थर Mercante, एकूण. वर्ग 2013: जॅक Dempsey, जॉनी डंन्दी, वाळूचा Saddler, Maxie Rosenbloom, राम आर्चर, इराण Barkley, मार्क Breland, बॉबी Cassidy, डग जोन्स, कनिष्ठ जोन्स, जेम्स “मित्र” McGirt, एडी मुस्तफा मुहम्मद, बॉब Arum, उपराष्ट्रपती Finkel, टोनी Graziano, लॅरी व्यापारी, टेडी बेअर Brenner, माईक जेकब्स, टेक्स Rickard आणि डॉन Dunphy. वर्ग 2014: फ्लोयड पॅटरसन, ट्रॅसी हॅरिस पॅटरसन, बिली Backus, केवीन Kelley, जुआन LaPorte, Gerry Cooney, मुस्तफा Hamsho, हॉवर्ड डेव्हिस, किन, लू Ambers, जॅक Britton, टेरी McGovern, टेडी बेअर ऍटलस, लू DiBella, स्टीव्ह Farhood, जीन मूर, अँजेलो Prospero, Whitey Bimstein, वागणे कोटे Amato, विल्यम Muldoon आणि टॉम O'Rourke. वर्ग 2015: शौल Mamby, राम Giamba, जॉनी Persol, हॅरोल्ड वेस्टन, Lonnie ब्रॅडली, पॉल Berlenbach, बिली ग्रॅहम, Frankie Genaro, बॉब मिलर, टॉमी रायन, जिमी Slattery, बॉब Duffy, माईक Katz, टॉमी Gallagher, ब्रुस Silverglade, Charley, गोल्डमन, जिमी जॉन्स्टोनचा, Cedric Kushner, हॅरी Markson, Damon Runyon आणि अल Weill. वर्ग 2016: अहरोन डेव्हिस, चार्ल्स मरे, Vilomar फर्नांडिस, एडविन Viruet, हेक्टर “Macho” Camacho, खडकाळ Graziano, रॉकी कॅन्सस, जो लिंच, जो Miceli, एड Brophy, जो DeGuardia, गावंढळ गॉर्डन, डेनिस Rappaport, Howie अल्बर्ट, फ्रेडी ब्राऊन, हॉवर्ड Cosell, रुबी Goldstein आणि जिमी जेकब्स. वर्ग 2017: Gaspar मोठ्या संख्येने कार्यकर्ते, Renaldo “श्री.” Snipes, डग Dewitt, “Bronx बॉम्बफेकी विमान” अॅलेक्स Ramos, डिक वाघ, जोस Torres, “Nonpareil” जॅक Dempsey, डॉन Majeski, रॉन Katz, Stan हॉफमन, बॉबी Bartels, गुंडा कॅप्लन, अल गेव्हिन, आर्थर Donovan आणि दान पार्कर.
